With the change of season fast approaching, we’re focussing on a trendy and useful autumn/winter item: the cropped bomber jacket.
Did you know that the bomber jacket was originally designed to keep pilots warm in the cockpits during WWI? Well, it’s thanks to them that we now have this versatile winter staple in our lives, and we’re crushing even harder on its mini – the cropped bomber.

WHY WE WANT IT
The bomber jacket has always had a stubborn streak of badassery, with some serious cool factor points for the wearer. It’s also the perfect outerwear for those in-between months, when the weather is as confused as a chameleon in a bag of skittles. And the cropped version adds yet another personality trait to this go-to piece: sass. Plus, the cropped bomber jacket provides a neater, more cinched-in alternative to the oversized, baggy versions out there.
HOW TO WEAR IT
1. With a cropped top (duh)
2. Layered over a dress

A bomber jacket over a dress is the perfect combination of chic and cool. It’s one of the easiest looks to put together and only needs light accessorising. Since we’re heading into the colder months, a pair of sneakers or boots work perfectly.
3. With sneakers

Cool should be paired with cool – so it’s only natural that the cropped bomber and the sneaker go hand in hand.
4. As a statement

What’s not to love about statement fashion? And we are feeling all kinds of inspired by this tonal in-your-face orange look. Like we said, this is inspirational, so no matter what colour bomber you choose, plan your entire outfit to match the tone of your jacket. The tonal look isn’t going anywhere, and neither is the cropped bomber, so you may as well marry the two for a look that’s completely dope.
