HOW TO STYLE A BOMBER JACKET
It’s the military-inspired layering piece that’s landed with a bang – menswear editor Ian Wright shows you three easy ways to wear an autumn essential, the bomber jacket
Double up with confidence
Why wear one when you can wear two? Take it to the next level: a fine zip-through knit with a bomber collar will ward off the chill layered under another tonally compatible style. This jacket nods to the formal – its tailoring-style fabric and suit-like shoulder shape bring structure to the usually soft silhouette.

The bomber’s familiar friend is a basic T-shirt. Effortless and easy to wear, the best neckline to go for is round as it mimics the line of the bomber’s signature curved and elasticated collar. White is classic and will go with any colour of jacket you pick, while a burgundy red complements this rust bomber perfectly to give you a significant style edge.

While it may look simple, this look is all about carefully combined contrasts. The smart white collar of a shirt serves as an interesting counterpoint to the military origins of the bomber jacket. A richly textured knit and lighter trousers make this tone-on-tone look anything but boring.
