Finding the perfect bomber jacket is something I have struggled with over the past couple of months, as I know this will forever be a staple piece in my wardrobe so obviously want to love it. I found three khaki coloured bomber jackets from high street stores which in particular were my favourites. The reason behind the khaki colour is just my whole obsession with the colour I guess, especially with it currently in fashion. I just love it,I think the colour goes with everything in my wardrobe, especially with majority of it being black or white haha. Also I think it's a colour you can dress down and make a casual sundays look, look quite trendy and on point, or you can always style it up for going out in.
The first bomber jacket is from River Island, priced at £55. I think this is quite a reasonable price for the jacket due to the amazing embellishment on the front of the jacket. It's very much a bomber jacket meant to be worn more dressy as apposed to a 'throw on jacket', however you probably still could. This jacket is a very thin jacket compared with the other two jackets I'm showing you, which is why I think it may be better worn either in warmer weather (instead of the cold winter here in the UK) or just for going out in over a black fitted dress and strappy black heels.
The next jacket is a little number from Topshop priced at again £55. I love the more simple design to this jacket compared to the River Island embellished bomber. I think this is due to fact it seems to be more of a padded jacket as apposed to a thin jacket for looks purposes. The main negative to this jacket however is the fact its the shortest one of the three therefore I feel you need to be extra careful with what you wear t-shirt wise underneath it. I feel this would be more annoying as well as a bomber jacket I see as fashionable but casual to kind of throw on and still look good, so having to think more advance as to what to wear underneath this jacket I feel would be irritating when in a hurry. Also I find with it being a little padded and short, it puffs/sticks out more at the back which I don't particularly like. Another small negative I have with this jacket is the zips as I find them quite tacky for a Topshop jacket. The colour of them firstly is a yellow gold which I personally think looks tacky and the feel of them when you zip them feels like they could easily break, even though they may not.
The final khaki bomber jacket has to be my favourite of the three, and thats this number from ASOS priced at £60. Yes its slightly more expensive then the other two, however I feel the benefits of this jacket are so much better. Firstly the length of this jacket is perfect, as it comes slightly lower then the other two which I prefer as it means you can instantly throw it on with leggings or skinny black jeans and a top and it looks fashionable. I also think this jacket looks so much better in terms of quality due to the smaller aspects such as the zips and the side pocket which blend in more with the khaki colour, as the zip colour is matte silver compared with the Topshop yellow gold. I can see this jacket definitely being a staple piece in my wardrobe that I will get plenty of wear of.
