It’s Official Bomber Jacket Season Has Arrived

And as you sip your piping hot lattes and leap across fallen leaves, it’s fall’s hottest take on a classic silhouette that’ll have you rejoicing amidst the crisp and chilly air. Behold, the leather bomber jacket.

Fashion has seen many iterations of the bomber jacket, but this season’s slick leather versions, specifically seen on the runways of Valentino and Loewe as well as a string of celeb fans like Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid, is the one new piece of outerwear you’ll want to invest in.
