Bomber jackets, so beloved of Grease’s Pink Ladies and Tom Cruise in Top Gun, are back. And, as you won’t have failed to notice, they’re everywhere. But this time around there’s a whole new twist, with bold colours, prints and fabrics taking over from the classic plain, boyish style. In 2016, whether it’s embroidered, oversized or both, it’s all about the OTT details.

There’s a huge array of choice in the high street, with just about every store worth its salt stocking at least one bomber this season. And as well as choice, this means every wallet is catered for.

Let’s be honest, the bomber styling is about as casual as it gets – you won’t be wearing one to the office. But come evenings and weekends this jacket comes into its own.

This spring and summer pair it with your favourite black jeans, gladiator sandals and a bold clutch for the hipster look.

And don’t be afraid to wear it around the shoulders – Pink Ladies style – over a wrap dress with wedge sneakers to nail that a dressed-up sporty look.

And for those who just aren't daring enough to embrace the embroidery, don't worry - the classic green or blue bomber is still available on the high street, from as little as £20.
