This season, designers are using textures and prints to bring bomber jackets back to life.

Bomber jackets have always been a classic piece in a complete wardrobe, but 2013 has updated them in a sophisticated manner which confirms the fact they aren’t just for high schoolers and pilots anymore.

Lightweight cotton and silk bombers create a softer silhouette that is just right for the summer evenings and as the weather transitions to fall.  The heavier leather ones are still James Dean cool, like from TIBI and Equipment (seen above), but are structured with a feminine touch. Two-toned bombers are casual chic, while printed ones can play up any outfit.
