Take a quick peek at your jacket collection. You probably own a tried-and-true leather jacket (and if you don't, we found the coolest ones), a sleek and office-friendly blazer you can wear for work and play (the best blazer outfits are here), and an always classic French-girl staple: a trench coat. If you already own these three styles, you're on the right track to having a well-rounded outerwear selection that will help seamlessly transition into the cold-weather months. (If you don't, we've created bountiful roundups of the aforementioned picks that you can shop from the comfort of your home—see the links above.)
What brings us here today, however, is a fourth jacket we highly recommend investing in to fully complete your collection—and it's one that makes every outfit look instantly cooler. Any guesses? We're talking about the bomber jacket, an outerwear piece that was originally created for pilots and has now become an integral layering piece fashion girls have been turning to tackle that tricky transition weather.
The styling options of a bomber jacket are truly bountiful. Wear it over a sweatshirt-and-jeans look or throw it over a summery dress to make it a bit more seasonally appropriate. In short, it's a must-have in your fall rotation, and the below bomber jacket outfits will certainly convince you to invest in one (or two) if you haven't already—although, you can never have too many, right? Read on to see our favorite looks, all of which incorporate a bomber jacket, and then shop the best styles on the market right now.
