I Tried the Under-$100 Trendy (But Classic) Nordstrom Jacket Our Readers Love

Since earlier this year—around the time Hailey Bieber and Rihanna started to embrace the trend—the leather-bomber comeback has been on my radar, and it is slowly (but surely) garnering more and more of my attention. More recently, I was told our readers were buying a certain marked-down Levi's style from Nordstrom like they were candy bars. I quickly messaged our editorial team to see if any of them had yet to try the piece for themselves, but when my Slack went unanswered, it was clear that I would have to be the one to hit check out if I wanted to see what all the hype was about. After all, it seemed perfect on the website, and the reviews corroborated my hunch, so how big a risk could it really be?

Spoiler alert: It was no risk at all because, honestly, the jacket is perfect. It is faux leather but still buttery soft, has the ideal oversize fit and classic silhouette, and, of course, is currently marked down to a sweet $98.90 (and even lower in some extended sizes). Below, you can see how it looked on me, but since my seven-months-pregnant look might not be quite the outfit inspo you're looking for, I've also rounded up a ton of other snaps featuring the trend on some of our favorite fashion people as well as even more leather bombers to shop in case you're really committed to getting the look. To get started, simply keep scrolling.

For a brisk-ish spring day, I styled the jacket with a white tee, stretchy pants and platform ankle boots.

I'm wearing a size small, and I love how it is slightly long but not too big. Of course, you could size up for an even roomier fit.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
