Bomber Jackets Were All Over the Spring 2025 Runways—These Are the Best to Buy for Every Budget
Brittany Davy
PSA: Bomber jackets are the ultimate solution to tricky transitional weather. No other layer is quite so well-suited to rushed mornings and not-too-cold, not-too-hot climates, especially if you want to look chic as you navigate the changing of the seasons. We're finally seeing the first peeks of sunshine here in the UK, but the unpredictable weather and constant chance of showers means we're still in need of a jacket that's versatile enough for a wide range of temperatures. Bomber jackets are insulating, easy to throw on over anything and incredibly cosy if you choose an oversized silhouette (of which there are many to choose from—more on that later).
Style Notes: Gucci presented a bomber in one of 2025's most popular shades, khaki, along with a pair of matching shorts, perfect for transitional spring weather.
Admittedly, some of the iterations we've spotted recently are less practical than others. But that's only because designers have recognised the aesthetic benefits of the bomber jacket in addition to its obvious comfort; namely that it makes every outfit infinitely cooler. With its sporty shape, ribbed cuffs and nifty zip-up closure, the basic structure of this outerwear style lends itself to quick and fuss-free dressing without compromising on style.
Fashion houses have added an extra dash of creativity to their bomber jacket creations this spring/summer, playing with supersized proportions, luxe fabrics, elegant colourways and unexpected styling.
Style Notes: For its spring/summer 2025 ready-to-wear show, Saint Laurent gave bomber jackets the office treatment by teaming this relaxed silhouette with a suit and tie.
Across both high-end and affordable brands, there's a wide range of bomber jackets tailored to every aesthetic and price point for spring/summer 2025. So scroll on to shop our edit of the chicest bomber styles available at the moment.
