Hi, ladies! :wave: I got the jacket below over the summer and I love it but I'm not sure how to wear it. I like more classic looks and I'm not a huge jeans girl (bviously I'd wear jeans with this). But aside from jeans, what can I wear with my new jacket? What about shoes and other accessories? Also, how do I wear color with this look? Advice needed!

she's right...you can literally wear it with everything. if you dont want to wear jeans then wear it over a dress and add leggings if its cold. here are some pictures:

That's a staple you can wear with a variety of things:

over girly dresses to add some tougness
skirt with ankle boots

etc.

When it comes to jacket, a bomber jacket is a traditional type of jacket which reaches the waist and is considered a short jacket. Most bomber jackets are quite form fitting and fit close to the torso and do not extend past the waist, which means that some people are going to be more flattered by this fit than others. Bomber jackets have been popular through a variety of decades, and are popular in trendy young women’s fashion presently as they are created from many textiles which can be used to create a trendy appearance.

There is one rule to wearing the bomber jacket with success. The bomber jacket is meant to shine through any outfit and therefore should be the focal point of the outfit which has been created. For example, wearing the bomber jacket in a bright color with the use of jeans and boots, with a long t-shirt can be an effective way to showcase the jacket, as well as showcase the shape of the individual that has chosen to wear the jacket. Although common materials for the bomber jacket to be used in are satin type materials, there are also leather type materials which are used throughout the style.

There are ways that you can wear the bomber jacket as an accent, but don’t allow the jacket to drown in the shape that has been created. Through the use of a long sweater dress and using ankle boots, or other types of boots, there are many ways that you can ensure the jacket looks fabulous while you are wearing it. Be sure to choose similar colors of jackets when using this look, as each piece within the ensemble should complement each other.

I don't think you can go wrong wearing this with anything. It adds that little Je ne sais quoi to an outfit.

correction...will not go well with plaid pajamas, or any pajamas for that fact. lol
