As expected, Zara continues to lead the fashion game with its ability to adapt current trends and translate them into affordable clothing. This year, it is bringing back the bomber jackets, which returned from the trunk of memories to become a trend this fall-winter season.
Originally, bomber jackets, also known as aviator jackets, have their roots in military clothing from the World War. The originals from those years were made of a resistant material, such as genuine leather, to keep pilots warm in cold altitudes, but over the decades they have been transformed to become a fashionista garment.
Faux Leather Bomber Jackets That Zara Brought Back as a Trend
As the cold weather progresses during the fall and the coming winter, a bomber jacket can be a good transitional garment, while the extreme cold hasn’t arrived. The thermometer is beginning to fall, but not so much that you have to buy long ones covered with a hat and earmuffs.
You can use, for example, this Zara bomber jacket that exudes modern elegance with its dark brown color, perfect to complement any fall outfit. This model has a lapel collar that adds a classic and refined touch to a piece that, although it is functional (to protect you from the cold) is also the cherry on the cake of an autumn outfit.
The long sleeves end in buttoned cuffs, providing that sophisticated detail that only Zara knows how to add to its garments. The front flap pockets are ideal for storing your essentials, like your phone, keys, or wallet, while the elastic dope at the bottom helps keep the jacket fitted at the waist, creating a flattering silhouette. The front metal zipper is not only functional, but also adds an air of modernity. Its synthetic leather design not only provides a luxurious look, but also makes it affordable and easy to care for. The price is $69.90.
This other bomber jacket in black can also be ideal for any occasion, from a visit to the supermarket to buy milk and cereal to a causal party, or a night of dancing at a club. The lapel collar and buttoned cuffed sleeves offer a sleek fit, and the front pockets are reminiscent of those bold bomber jacket cuts from the ’80s. The elastic waist provides a fitted silhouette, making this jacket look impeccable no matter how you wear it, giving your outfit a rock and contemporary touch. The price is $69.90.
Zara Has More Bomber Jackets, and You Will Surely Want to Buy Them All
I’m sure you’ve already added the other two bomber jackets to your shopping cart like me, and that’s why I’m going to show you two more models. This oversized bomber jacket, with a worn effect, offers a more relaxed and relaxed style. The round neck design moves away from the classic lapel style, and gives it a contemporary approach with long sleeves and cuffed cuffs, very comfortable and lightweight.
The front pockets are large and roomy, and the elastic waistband at the back helps shape the jacket, which is complemented by the zip closure at the front. It has a functional pocket on the left shoulder, which gives it a rocker touch but also serves to store small things such as your keys. The price is also $69.90.
Cropped Bomber Jacket With Patch Pockets
The last model we found was this cropped bomber jacket with front patch pockets, in a sophisticated gray that is not trying to be leather but rather looks like a soft wool, but is made from recycled synthetic materials. Like the other three jackets, it is suitable for vegans because it does not contain any materials of animal origin.
The front patch pockets are not only decorative but also functional, offering a casual and relaxed style. The elastic waistband at the back helps shape the jacket, ensuring a fitted silhouette that highlights the figure. The snap closure on the front completes the look on this beautiful jacket that is priced at $69.90.
