If you’re hoping to swap your wool coat for a more casual alternative as we prepare for colder temperatures, the season’s chic yet wearable bomber jacket trend can help to complete your winter wardrobe. On the Fall/Winter 2015 runways, the must-have topper made a splash as it was paired with everything from printed skirts to fitted trousers. For fashionistas who want to embrace the look, here are a few easy ways to wear a bomber jacket now.

Daytime

Try updating your weekend style by stepping out in a black and burgundy puffy bomber jacket with a sleek, shiny texture (as spotted on the runway at Rag & Bone). Complete your sartorial statement with slick and slim-fitting leather trousers in a mahogany or maroon hue and step out in strappy black flats to emphasize the cool, casual feel of your ensemble.

Work Wear

While you may usually sport a dark blazer at the office, try taking your sartorial cues from the 3.1 Phillip Lim catwalk and rocking a funky green, military inspired jacket with ruched sleeves and zippered detail. To keep your outfit looking professional and sleek, style your outfit with a preppy white blouse and a knee-length patterned skirt in a bold colour. Finish off your look with a pair of black lace-up booties to contrast against your trendy topper.

Evening

If you’re looking for an easygoing layer to fight the winter chill in style, turn to the Louis Vuitton runways for inspiration. For a Saturday night out, create a luxurious statement in a fitted black leather bomber jacket accented with fur trim. Showcase your ladylike leather against an embellished silver top paired with a thin chain belt, and add a matching black leather skirt for a truly fashionable aesthetic. For an accessorizing finish, step out with a leather clutch and studded, pointy toed flats to enhance your look.
