STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Bomb Bomber Jackets

March 24th, 2015 at 2:00am

With spring literally days away, Fashionista/os are packing away their winter coats for lighter clothing options. Jean jackets, jersey dresses and leather jackets are all making an appearance.

This Fashionisto caught my eye because of his color scheme. Olive green, black and gray are the perfect colors to transition from winter to spring. Olive green and gray are great transitional colors, whereas, the black is classic and can be worn in any season. When I saw this outfit, especially his bomber jacket, I couldn’t help but think of the Balmain collection from last season. Kanye West and Kim Kardashian have sported this bomber jacket trend for a while now. A bomber jacket is the perfect spring jacket as it isn’t too heavy, yet still helps to keep you warm on the windy spring days.

Bomber jackets are military-inspired and can be worn with many different outfits. They add a sense of grunge to an outfit, especially with this Fashionistos loose sweatpants and white high-top sneakers.  You can wear a bomber jacket with black, loose sweatpants like the Fashionisto featured in this article, or you can even wear it with a pair of light wash jeans. For the Fashionistas out there, you could wear a bomber jacket with a tight black or gray dress. If you’re feeling especially fashion forward, pair this look with a pair of high- tops or thigh-high boots.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I love simplicity when it comes to my outfits. Just because spring is approaching, don’t feel pressured to wear bright colors or florals. Sometimes a little black and gray go a long way.”
