Bomber Jackets That Handle Casual With Ease

The bomber jacket is one of those pieces that looks effortless on the right person and try-hard on the wrong one, and the difference almost always comes down to fit and fabric. Too boxy and it reads like you borrowed it. Too fashion-forward and it stops working with half your wardrobe. What we've been looking for here are bombers that sit in the right place, somewhere between considered and completely unfussy, the kind of jacket you throw on over a t-shirt and jeans without thinking twice. We've been paying particular attention to weight, because a good bomber needs to work across more than two weeks of the year, and to the ribbing at the cuff and hem, which is where cheaper versions always give themselves away. Ma-1 silhouettes, clean suedes, washed nylons with a bit of character. These are the bombers that make casual dressing look like a decision rather than a default.
