ALL IN THE DETAILS: The Bomber

There’s something so nostalgic about the crisp fall air coming in. When it comes to getting ready in the morning- especially with the colder weather- it can be so hard to still look presentable for class. I have noticed that the bomber jacket has emerged as fall’s unexpected MVP. Whether worn super-oversized or cropped, the bomber is lightweight and versatile in both vintage-inspired and fresh printed styles, so it is understandable as to why it is fall’s “it” layer.

The bomber trend is all in the details. Easy to layer over various outfits, bomber jackets are the perfect wardrobe fallback this season. And did I mention they are super comfy too? Simultaneously sporty and sexy, bomber jackets are a great way to dress down and give a too girly outfit some edge.

A good bomber encompasses just the right amount of tomboy and streetwear, this Fashionista does just that in this casual fall outfit consisting of black jeans and a black shirt, paired with black sneakers, and a gray bomber paired with a velvet red chocker for the ultimate contrast.

Traditionally, bomber jackets may have been limited to casual wear, but this season streetwear and high fashion collided. Around campus this Fashionista spotted some bombers containing gorgeous silk and embroidered designs. With such a versatile item of clothing, there really are no fashion rules. Be brave and experiment- confidence and attitude are all you need to rock the bomber. Just remember it is all in  the details! See, dressing for the fall doesn’t have to be a struggle—just throw on a bomber and your favorite accessories cause autumn is here to stay!
