The bomber jacket, one of the classic men fashion items, comes back in style in 2018. Luxury brands such as Gucci, Hugo Boss, and Club Monaco have all turned their attention to renewing their men’s jacket collections with a new twist. But they’re not the only ones. Swedish fashion brand H&M is also investing in the classic jacket to appeal to the younger shoppers.
Bomber jackets, while functional and robust, can easily add an element of elegance to your style. Combine your jacket with the right pair of designer sneakers for a sophisticated casual look. Or wear it on top of a classy shirt to dress up a little. Few items in your wardrobe will be as versatile and timeless as a classic bomber.
