It’s Official: Bomber Jackets Are Back—8 Ways Fashion People Style Theirs

I remember the last time bomber jackets were on the first page of the style agenda. It was 2013, Gucci had just made a momentous comeback, and its silky, embroidered-back bomber jacket was a hot-ticket item. Everyone wanted to own one, but few managed to get their hands on one. So cue a slew of more affordable homages. Topshop’s best-selling take was even worn by Olivia Palermo, fashion’s darling at the time.

In the years since, however, bomber jackets, although they never went out of style altogether, were kind of forgotten about. In their place, we gravitated towards blazers (both of the leather and woollen varieties) and puffers, with The Frankie Shop’s Ripstop quilted jacket reigning supreme for the past couple of autumns. So you can imagine my delight and surprise when bomber jackets began cropping up in the latest designer collections—Givenchy, Stine Goya, Loewe and so many more—feeling fresh and highly covetable once more.
