Women's shearling bomber jackets, also known as bombers, shearling bombers or aviators, are a stylish and timeless addition to any wardrobe. These jackets are a classic outerwear item that has been popular since the 1950s. It is characterized by its cropped fit, sheepskin wool interior, ribbed cuffs and hem, and front zip closure.

Leather bomber jackets were originally designed for military pilots, but have since become a fashion staple for women and men of all ages. Created in the 1920s, by Leslie Leroy, an American paratrooper, the bomber was originally intended for soldiers of the United States Air Force. These jackets, called "the flying jacket" were therefore first created for practical purposes in order to combat the large variations in temperature that pilots could experience during aerial combat.

After the Second World War, this jacket experienced rapid popularization under the influence of cinema and American stars who made this jacket glamorous, even transforming it in the 70's into a symbol of the American dream.

When it comes to choosing a bomber, women have a wide range of options. You have the choice between different materials, the most sought after being leather and suede. Bomber jackets can also be found in a variety of colors, from black, to brown to beige to cognac.

The cut can also be very different, some people prefer to wear the very fitted and short bomber, others on the contrary oversize with the collar folded or raised. A tip if you're looking for your size: make sure it's snug around the shoulders and chest but not too tight. The sleeves should touch the wrist and the hem should fall to the waist. This will ensure that the jacket is flattering and comfortable to wear, especially over a sweater in winter.

One of the main advantages of bomber jackets is their versatility. They can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Pair a bomber jacket with a t-shirt and jeans for a casual look, or wear it over a dress or skirt for a more formal outfit. Shearling Bomber jackets also work well for layering in the colder months.

It is also important to consider the quality of the jacket. Look for a jacket made from high-quality materials, especially sheep's wool, and with strong zippers and seams. A good quality bomber jacket will last for years and can be worn season after season. They never go out of style, which makes buying vintage a great advantage. Women's bomber jackets can be found at a variety of price points, making it easy to find a jacket that fits your budget.
