Bomber jackets are back, baby. A staple of 80s fashion, these once heavy, nylon-laden boxy styles have seen a major overhaul for 2024, with high street retailers all stocking their own take on the latest outerwear trend.

Ideal for spring styling, the lightweight but warm bomber is the ultimate throw-on-and-go piece that will complement all of your favourite outfits, from midi dresses and heels, to off-duty loungewear styles.

They’re even loved by the likes of Loose Women’s Frankie Bridge, who loves their ‘minimal effort, maximum style’ approach. She said: “Bombers are back this season and with good reason! In my opinion they always give an outfit a cooler edge and I love how you can just throw it on with pretty much anything.”

This year, there seems to be more variations of the bomber jacket than ever before, from leather look to padded options, as well as satin styles for a more glamorous look, with a whole host of fits ranging from cool and cropped, to casual and oversized.

Whether it's Cos's cool-girl oversized jersey bomber or River Island’s best sale picks, the bomber jacket trend is one we really can’t get enough of.
