Forget Bombers—Stylish Women in LA and Paris Much Prefer This Elegant Jacket Trend

Must read

First, let’s clarify one thing before you misunderstand me: bomber jackets are forever. I am not, in any way, telling you to send your classic vintage bomber to the donation bin. What I meant to get across in the headline above was that, right now, stylish women aren’t grabbing for theirs and are instead attached to one other very specific piece of outerwear. If you haven’t already guessed, I’m referring to leather blazers, the elegant jacket option that well-dressed people in LA and Paris are leaning on heavily this winter. For proof, keep scrolling.

When I think of leather blazers and chic women, the first person who comes to mind is Jennifer Lawrence, who’s been wearing her version from The Row—a now sold-out style called the Boise—all year long. Taking styling cues from the runways, she’ll often pair hers with a button-down shirt of some sort and trousers, adding a trendy pair of slippers or flats to finish off the look. She took a new styling route, though, the last time she wore her Boice blazer.
