Style Theory: The Bomber Jacket, the outerwear shape this Spring and Summer. It is cool, laidback and edgy, either in florals, silk, denim or jersey, the bomber is a versatile jacket that can be dressed up or down. It is fabulous for flinging on for the schoolrun, can be layered on top of a biker or denim jacket or in the summer can be worn over dresses to add an urban edge.
The Challenge: Next sent 6 Mum Fashion Bloggers a jersey bomber jacket to style their way and this is how we styled them:

| 1 - What Lizzie Loves 2 - Avenue 57 3 - Me (obvs!) 4 - SchoolGateStyle 5 - Poppy's Style 6 - My Fashionable 40s |
We could choose either red or grey and as you can see all had a different take on the bomber, showing that it looks just as great with heels as it does with trainers...
 |
I chose the red jacket, the fabric is a mid weight, quilted jersey so it really lends itself to layering, I wore my denim jacket and a grey sweater underneath, and paired it with black ankle length jeans and my trusty Adidas Superstar trainers. This is my comfort zone, I had a busy day of running around after the kids, parties, swimming etc so practicality reigned supreme as usual.

It is a great alternative to the traditional cardigan, the red is a beautiful vibrant shade so looks good paired with greys, denims and black.
I was a little slow off the mark with the bomber jacket trend but I am now a convert and do tend to wear them instead of my usual cardigans/coats.

Are you a fan of the bomber jacket, did you jump on board the trend a bit quicker than my slightly late arrival?! Or do you prefer a more tailored look?

I would love hear your comments as always, till next time, Frances x
You look brilliant Frances. I always love how well you layer your outfits. It looks brilliant with the denim jacket. It's perfect for this in-between weather too xxx Love Lizzy xxx
ReplyDeleteI think that looks fab on you and really suits your style. I'm not sure it's a look that would work as well on me, as my style tends to be a bit more tailored - if that makes sense? But that colour is gorgeous on you and it's really great to see how the same jacket can be styled in so many different ways.
ReplyDeleteI love how the jacket has been styled by everyone. I think the red is right for you as it suits your style perfectly. I must admit that I hovered over the grey, at the weekend, as I was doing a quick shop for my little one. I stuck to my brief ( children's clothes only ) but it did catch my eye so weird that here it is on Monday morning. H xx
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! I would have never thought to layer with a denim but it looks amazing! I am totally inspired to try this out
