Men in bomber jackets means spring really is here. But this wardrobe staple’s latest outing comes with plenty of new twists
The bomber jacket is never not a useful wardrobe addition and is enjoying a style resurgence, having played a key role on the runways, from Prada and Saint Laurent to Loewe’s pillowy leather version. Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons have been playing with scale for a few seasons, giving the oversized look a boost in popularity.
Prada’s pink leather bomber was spotted on Canadian rapper Drake in his music video, while newly appointed Louis Vuitton menswear creative director Pharrell Williams opted for a fitted red leather studded Ernest W Baker bomber with matching trousers at the Grammys.
