How to Style a Women's Bomber or Varsity Jacket

• Balance the shape: bombers and varsity jackets are roomy at the top, so pair them with slim jeans, leggings or a short skirt.
• Mix sporty and dressy: a varsity jacket over a slip dress or a bomber with heeled boots looks intentional, not casual.
• Let one piece lead: with a print or contrast-sleeve jacket, keep the rest of the outfit plain.
• Size for layering: if you plan to wear a hoodie or knit underneath, check the size guide and allow a little room.

How Should a Women's Bomber Jacket Fit?

• Shoulders: the seam should sit at or just past your shoulder edge. Oversized styles are cut to drop lower on purpose.
• Length: a classic bomber ends at the hip, where the ribbed hem gathers. Cropped styles end at the waist and pair best with high-waisted bottoms.
• Sleeves: the ribbed cuffs should sit at your wrist without bunching up your arm.
• Body: leave enough room to zip it over a tee or light knit. If you want to wear a hoodie underneath, consider the next size up or a custom size.

Leather softens slightly with wear but does not stretch much, so choose a fit that is comfortable from the start. Check the size guide on each product page.

Which Colour Should You Choose?

• Black: the most versatile. It works with denim, all-black outfits and dresses, day or night.
• Brown and tan: softer and warmer, great with cream, camel and blue denim.
• Red: a statement shade that suits varsity styles and concert outfits. Keep the rest of the look neutral.
• Prints, yellows and contrast sleeves: fun and eye-catching. Let the jacket be the only bold piece.

Wearing Bomber and Varsity Jackets Through the Seasons

• Autumn: the ideal season. Wear your jacket over a tee or fine knit with jeans and boots.
• Winter: layer a hoodie or chunky knit underneath, or wear a leather bomber under a longer coat on the coldest days.
• Spring: throw it over a slip dress or a tee and skirt for cooler mornings and evenings.
• Summer evenings: carry a light bomber or satin varsity for when the temperature drops.

Yes. Black leather bombers, oversized fits and varsity jackets with contrast sleeves are all widely worn, from street style to concerts.

A crop top or tee with jeans, a mini skirt with tights, or a slip dress with sneakers or boots.
