. Therefore, now, when fears and doubts about wearing such a thing in everyday clothes have faded into the background, we suggest finding out what a bomber jacket is, how to choose it correctly and what to wear with it!
What is a bomber jacket - jacket or jacket?
Answering this question, you should immediately indicate: there is a jacket, and a jacket, called a bomber jacket. Jackets-bombers appeared much earlier. The famous style was developed by the American flying club owners in 1929. The brothers Robert and John Douglas held a small club, which carried out demonstration flights and excursions for tourists. And since the cockpits at that time were open, it was only possible to wear aboard in very warm clothes.
Flight equipment should not only be warm, but also comfortable. Therefore, the Douglas brothers, as true lovers of the sky and aviation, decided to develop a unique style of the jacket, which allows not to freeze at flight altitude, as well as not hampering movements.
Such jackets for pilots and passengers of the first half of the XX century and later became a fashion trend related to the style of the military. They are made of leather, suede, jeans and other dense and warm materials. Recently, more and more lightweight models designed for the summer.
The term "blouse-bomber" should be understood sports jacket with logos, numbers or letters. Initially, these sweaters have become an attribute of the uniform of American and European educational institutions. In the middle of the last century only schoolchildren and students wore blouse-bombers in the USA and advanced European countries. But today it is a constant part of the youth style in clothes, so bombers with stripes, numbers, letters or names of foreign educational institutions are not a sign of belonging to them, but simply a fashionable feature.

And it may even have characteristic stripes, or be monotonous - the main thing is that this material does not cease to be fashionable. This also applies to jeans.
Denim bombers are also relevant in the current season.
Now, when eclecticism does not leave fashion shows, a bomber jacket made of different fabrics will look very original and appropriate. As a rule, the companion fabric is retracted for the sleeves, and the rest of the jacket falls on the base material. You can also pay attention to bomber from blended fabrics.

So, in lightweight models, it performs an exceptionally aesthetic function, always being in contrast to the main color of the jacket. In insulated models, the lining has a practical role. Especially good models on fleece. They will always warm in bad weather.
Fashion trends
The modern women's bomber jacket only remotely resembles its prototype. This season any bold models and their combinations in the wardrobe are possible. Eclectic is still in honor, so a stylish bomber jacket must be multicolored, made from two or more fabrics. And of course, the “combination of the incongruous” must be present in the outfit with the bomber jacket.

Moreover, stylists recommend trying both plain and two-color models. And the combination of these two tones is now very much in demand.

Decor
If we are talking about a traditional sports bomber jacket, then everything is pretty predictable. Stripes or embroidery in the form of letters, inscriptions, numbers are made of satin fabrics or threads. Challenging options with the addition of rhinestones, shiny threads and other glamorous attributes.
If we look at non-sports models, here, as always, designers give their imagination the full freedom. Rivets, zippers, spikes, and massive metal decorations are actively used for decoration of military-style women’s bombers. For more feminine models, sequins, laces, decorative brooches, flowers are used.
If the bomber jacket is made in any bright print, the additional decor is not applied. All these bold elements of decoration are relevant only on single-color or two-color models. Stripes look very good on leather or knitted bombers. By the way, they can be made independently, giving individuality to your stuff. The area for decoration most often serves in front or back, but the sleeves, as a rule, remain intact.
