These Bomber Jacket Outfits Are So 2018
We still love the bomber jacket, but after quite a few seasons on the fashion scene, we're almost at that point where we're fresh out of styling ideas. Can you relate? Not to worry, because today we're showing you how to breathe new life in the trend-turned-staple with a whopping 23 looks that feel worthy of emulating even now that we're in a new year. With something for every style type, we can bet you'll end up with at least one idea to try this week. Get started now!
A midi skirt and tee are the perfect blank canvas for any outerwear and accessories.
You'd be surprised what an off-the-shoulder sling does for a look.
Don't be afraid to combine bold hues.
When it comes to patent leather, we say go big or go home.
Emulate this model-off-duty by layering a hoodie underneath your bomber.
Pernille's combo of a turtleneck and a slip skirt is one for the books.
Another styling trick we're loving: half-zipped bombers.
Shine on shine done right.
You can never go wrong with basics.
For a borrowed-from-the-boys look that works for colder temps, go for straight-leg jeans, a loose tee, and a layered coat under your bomber.
A luxe velvet skirt will contrast your black bomber perfectly.
We love the way a button-down looks layered under her cropped bomber.
Choose two bright colors to pair with your black bomber for a failproof look.
Layer a light similarly colored jacket under your bomber for an eye-catching element.
A perfect example of why we refuse to retire our denim miniskirts.
Filing this under: how to make a beanie look impeccably chic.
Green on green for the win.
Fringe skirt, white tee, bomber, and sleek sunglasses—sounds doable, yes?
We love these coordinating colors.
The only thing better than one pop of red is two.
Animal-print heels go with literally everything.
Tiffany Hsu always styles dresses (and everything else) in the most interesting ways. Case in point, this look.
Lastly, an easy look for your colored bomber is always a black sweater, jeans, and ankle boots.

As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
