Bomber - create a practical and stylish look!

Bomber is a type of outerwear, which was originally created for the pilots of the air forces of America during the Second World War. Therefore, it is also otherwise called flight jacket, bomber. After some time, this type of clothing from military equipment "moved" into the category of ordinary dress, acquiring the status of "unisex" things.

Externally, the bomber jacket looks like a stylish light jacket with a collar (but more often without it), different from other styles with wide elastic bands at the ends of the sleeves and at the waist. Thanks to these features, the upper limbs and waist are protected from gusts of wind, but there is a danger of exposing the lower back when raising hands - you need to wear a jacket with high trousers.

When the military in the twentieth century began to wear such clothes, they immediately appreciated its convenience and functionality: a lot of pockets (including hidden ones), a warm detachable collar, a bright lining that made it possible to find a pilot in a crash.

The fashion for bombers resumed in the early 2000s around the world. This was facilitated by films made in Hollywood, street artisans and designers who returned the jackets to the catwalks and store shelves. Sporty-style options are popular; many American baseball players wear them as uniforms. In Russia, such models, having a number on the back, striped elastic bands and colored sleeves also appealed to mods. Other product options are also popular: leather, quilted (a real hit), knitted.

There is a huge number of models of bombers. Consider the main ones:

Baby - parents try to dress their child according to not only the requirements for comfort, but also fashion trends. Therefore, often on the street you can meet a child in a bomber. Children's models are no different from adults, except for colors: on the sleeves Engri Berds can “sit and frown”, on the pockets can be drawn the characters of “wheelbarrows” or fairies (depending on the sex of the child). In general, for the younger generation, they try to make options that are cute, but do not lose their convenience and functionality;

For teens - models for children in transitional age copy the styles of adults. The first place in popularity is occupied by sports bombers in the style of baseball players, the second - quilted models for the fall. Jackets with prints are also relevant;

Designer - a purely hand made thing from a famous author will please any mod. A talented artist draws a sketch, selects the fabric and sew a work of art. Such beautiful bombers are, of course, fabulous money. But this thing will exist in a single copy.

Pilot jackets are popular around the world and have managed to acquire many variations for their existence. Consider the famous styles:

With a collar - the most popular design option bomber; may be leather, fur or made from the same material as the product itself. This piece of clothing was inherent in the very first pilots jackets, because it performed the obvious function - warmth and weather protection. In the modern world, the collar plays a rather decorative role, acting as a field of creativity for designers;

Locked - Originally a bomber was created with lightning, and only then various variations appeared. Currently, these models have pros and cons. Of the shortcomings - the frequent breakdown of mechanisms, of the advantages - quickly fastens and protects well from the wind;

• with a hood (will protect from snow and wind).

The autumn season involves the choice of a quilted model, a bomber park (usually an elongated model), a raincoat bomber jacket, or articles with fine fur. In the warmer months, the best option is a light knit jacket.

The bomber production theme can be varied: a sports club (“bombers” with the logos of Chicago Bulls, Lakers, New York Yankees, CSKA, Zenit, Spartak), a famous film (jacket like Harley Quinn from “Suicide Squad”) can inspire its creation, a city (beloved by all of New York) or even a video game (Hotline Miami). It is impossible to list all the styles that are disclosed in this clothing.

Sports bombers are now divided into football, hockey and baseball. Classic military jackets also remain popular in the style of "military": they now love to make stripes. Overseas "like back from the 90s" is preferred by fashionistas, including lovers of club life.

It would seem, with what you can wear a bomber jacket, except for the ubiquitous jeans or classic trousers? In fact, another “bomber” can be worn with a dress (better narrowed) or with a skirt (a pencil skirt will look good). Do not be afraid to mix a flight jacket with short trousers like a capri or bridge, as well as with long maxi razdayaykami in the warm season.

Under the jacket you can wear a comfortable sweatshirt, blouse, sweater, shirt or favorite jersey. There are no strict restrictions on this issue.
