Leather jacket "Pilot"

This trend is rapidly gaining momentum in popularity. Previously, aviator jackets belonged to the military style, and at that time they had not yet conquered the heart of every Russian fashionista.

In the world field "bomber" is a must have not only of the autumn-winter period (as it was last season), but already summer. Every self-respecting designer seeks to find a place for this thing in their collections. And that means that the Pilot leather jacket should certainly appear in your wardrobe!

The jacket of a fashionable style today has been developed almost 100 years ago especially for pilots.

Say “thank you” for this is followed by the Americans, the Douglas brothers, who opened a private flying club in Greenwood in the late 1920s. Robert and John, being great romantics and sky lovers, organized a small club, which demonstrated demonstration flights and organized aerial excursions for tourists.

The cockpits of the aircraft, which were controlled by the brothers, were open. This required pilots and their passengers with appropriate equipment. Therefore, the brothers also organized their own store, in which they sold specialized leather jackets and helmets.

Small-scale production soon had to expand - Douglas began to receive orders for their famous flight jackets from the US Air Force itself. This is how the legendary Pilot jacket, or Bomber jacket, as it is called at home, entered the mass production line.

She began to be made of different types of materials: horse skin was combined with knitted knitwear (cuffs) and sheepskin (collars, lining).

With the development of jet aircraft, the Pilots began to sew from nylon.

Light, but very warm jackets were equipped with bright orange lining, so that pilots could give distress signals in case of accidents.

By the 1980s, the popularity of stylish aviator jackets had grown so much that fashion designers began to produce them in their collections.

So the famous jacket forever won the hearts of all the mods on the planet. In both men and women, the Pilot jacket has always enjoyed tremendous success.

And today the round of fashion has returned to the fact that several decades have been slightly forgotten. The bomber jacket is stylish, practical and comfortable!

Needless to say, jackets designed specifically for severe weather will ideally protect against frost in our climate?

Being made of coarse or tanned leather and insulated with natural fur, the Pilot jackets are not only ergonomic, they also look great. But this is the most important factor for every woman of fashion.

This option of outerwear allows you not to choose between warm and beautiful - here these qualities perfectly coexist.

Jackets "bombers" are short - their length reaches only the waist line, or goes down 1-2 cm below. The collar is voluminous, trapezoid.

Warm models have a fur trim. Summer variations of "bombers" are more concise, even their collar is small.

Speaking of practicality, it is a short jacket that is relevant today for any modern woman leading an active lifestyle.

And if you are a car enthusiast, then even more so such a jacket should suit you more than a fur coat or a long coat.

However, this type of outerwear is relevant for women of any age, professional activity or lifestyle. Therefore, do not be intimidated by such an unusual length and start wearing the “Pilot” jacket. How to do it correctly, we will discuss further.

Despite the fact that the Pilot jackets are available now for any time of the year, we would like to pay special attention to the models for winter. And here, of course, there is open space for the imagination of designers, which they embody in their latest collections.

Chanel, Gucci, Acne and many other famous brands offer a wide range of models of Bomber jackets with fur.

Today, not only collars are trimmed with fur, but also the cuffs of the Pilot jackets, and even their hem. In addition to traditional sheepskin, mink, sable, fox, rabbit also go for decoration.

Of course, models richly trimmed with fur inserts are an option not so much an everyday one as for an appearance. Although, lovers of outrageous image can afford to shine in such a dress and on weekdays.

In any case, fashion designers have long since moved away from the traditional cut of the Pilot, introducing more and more new deviations from the prototype. So, it is possible to meet Pilot jackets on fur with the shortened sleeve. Looks bold and spectacular!

Adherents of the classical foundations and fans of the authentic analogue of the modern trend will appeal to any shades of Pilot jackets belonging to the natural range. They are black, and dark green, and brown, and blue, and burgundy, and even light blue.

It is in these colors leather jackets aviators look the most stylish.

Of course, designers are in a hurry to keep up with all the whims of fashionistas, and therefore leather “bombers” can also be found today in brighter and more challenging color variations, and they will be equally relevant.

Those who seek to create a military style in their outfit should opt for the “army” colors - dark green and brown, as well as khaki.

If you strive to be on the cutting edge of fashion, go in search of the Pilot jacket, made in one of the most trendy colors of the coming autumn-winter season:

• iced coffee;
• emerald green;
• pink cedar;
• mustard clay;
• spiced mustard;
• lilac-purple;
• cool gray;
• river blue or air blue,
• bright red.

In such a variety is not difficult and confused. But there are several universal recommendations that will help you make the right choice:

• If you stick to conservative looks in your outfits, do not stop your gaze only on the black Pilot models. Depending on the type of appearance (color of hair, skin and eyes), you can choose a very discreet option, but do not stop at the boring one. So, gray, red, plum tones of the Pilot jackets are relevant and relevant today.
• Demi-season or winter "bomber" must have a fur trim. It is not only beautiful, it has a practical side. But walking in a leather jacket without fur in frost and cold is both harmful and looks ridiculous.
• Today, there are a lot of models of flight jackets decorated with additional zippers, as well as fringe, embroidery, and rivets. Think carefully before you give preference to this model. Its versatility is lost, since additional decorations make it appropriate not in every situation.

The choice of clothing that can be combined with a pilot jacket is practically unlimited. But, of course, there are especially winning combinations.

So, if we talk about shoes, it should be made of coarse leather, perhaps with a sheepskin finish. It can be both flat shoes and ankle boots with high heels.

Actual trends dictate wearing slipons, cryppers, loffera or chelsea with this look.

An incredibly seductive and domineering image will create an ensemble of light chiffon dress and a “Pilot” leather jacket with a sheepskin collar.

It is also possible to create a strict office style: dark trousers, a light shirt and a classic “bomber” of traditional tones - aerobatics in the field of a business suit for a modern woman on the crest of a fashionable wave.

Youth option for all occasions: the Pilot jacket, draped over leggings + T-shirt of a free cut. In the cold season, a short sweater or pullover is simply added to this ensemble.
