There’s a new trend this fall, and it’s taking its cues from pilots! Aviation dressing is in, and Jeanne Beker has selected six of the coolest bomber jackets paired with aviators to get you started for fall.
A: SPORT SOME COLOUR
“This is a really refreshing and unusual shade for a fall bomber jacket. And what a great jacket for travel; it would pack really well.” Frank And Oak, 735 Queen St. W., $49.97
B: LEATHER WEATHER
“What a timeless look that’s also a bit tougher. Leather is huge this year, and with this faux shearling collar, it has a retro vibe too.” Nordstrom, 260 Yonge St., $299
C: CROPPED AND LOADED
“This is a very casual style, a very sporty style and very, very classy. It’s so nice and cropped, and the sleeves look a little fuller.” Freda’s, 45 Elm St. $139
D: TICKLED PINK
“This has a real feminine approach to dressing in a bomber-style jacket. It has that great quilting; such a cosy and fun jacket.” Mackage, 3401 Dufferin St., $690
E: RETRO MOMENT
“This looks like it could be from the ’40s or ’50s; great for those who love that nostalgic look. It’s great quality and an investment.” Max Mara, 151 Bloor St. W. $995
F: VINTAGE VIBES
“I’ve always loved a black and white story, and it has gold buttons โ most bombers have zippers. Such a bold fashion statement.” TNT, 390-394 Eglinton Ave. W. $3,795G: COOL BLUE
Ray-Ban, 220 Yonge St., $237
