The bomber jacket has made a comeback at recent fashion months, and luckily for us, it’s still going strong today. But honestly, this comes as no surprise. The versatile outerwear has endless style possibilities, making it pretty much a necessity in every wardrobe. Plus, when it comes to the weird transition from winter to spring, this piece pairs well with springy pieces while still keeping you warm. So, take a look at the seven bomber jacket outfits below, and shop the looks to recreate these easy styles for yourself while we wait for warm weather to make its debut.
Get Ready for Spring with a Floral Bomber Over a Mini-Dress
Despite what Miranda Priestly would say about the use of a floral jacket to transition from winter to spring, we are here for it. A black bomber with small colorful flowers paired with more minimal pieces, like black booties, fishnets, and a black shift dress, creates a stylish spring ensemble. Add a brightly colored bag to tie it all together.

Stick With the Classics in a Green Bomber and Relaxed Jeans
