Year after year, the classic cut of bomber jackets has been spotted in countless men's and women's collections. The avian-inspired fashion piece was first debuted during the Second World War, but has since been an integral part of any wardrobe.
The bomber jacket has been redone in an array of fabrics and patterns, from bright neon bombers to camo-covered jackets, yet the traditional leather look is a timeless go-to piece.
The jacket has become associated with a rugged bad boy look for celebrities such as Kanye West and legendary actor Marlon Brando. Yet, it is the feminized bomber jacket that has become a statement piece for chic fashionistas attempting to show off their edgier side. Female stars such as Beyonce and Kristen Stewart have been spotted sporting leather bomber jackets.
