About Jackets

Since it's getting cold out, and I'm currently skipping all my classes today (because I'm sick) I wanted to talk about jackets. There are so many kinds of jackets out there and these are just a few of my recommendations if you wanna keep it #trendy and #stylish all while being warm. It really all comes down to personal preference though.

Bomber Jackets

Alpha Industries Iconic MA-1 Flight Jacket

Bomber Jackets have been around for almost 70 years. Originally introduced as standard issue Air Force and Navy pilot jackets, bombers are insulated, technical and can be used for many different purposes. The orange lining still present in most bombers was used as a way for grounded pilots to reverse their jackets and act as a rescue signal. Many bombers in the 50's featured straps and harnesses for parachutes and headset wiring. Now, bombers are simple and streamlined, and available to the general public. Fashion, especially streetwear, has always taken inspiration from military clothing, and bombers may be the most used silhouette in this regard.

Raf Simons SS03 Consumed Bomber (Archive piece, cheapest you'll find this is like ~8000 dollars)

Bombers have been adopted into high fashion (see Raf bomber above), they can be dressed up or down, and they go with most outfits. A good quality bomber is a wardrobe essential and it'll keep you warm all fall/winter long. 

My favorite bomber:

Alpha Industries

Parkas

Undercover 05 Gira Parka (this is really out of everybody's price range though)

You can find parkas anywhere. They're another military jacket that have found their way into fashion and have stayed relevant for years. They are another staple jacket and can be incorporated into any outfits. I personally like combining parkas with just some denim, a tee or hoodie/sweater and high tops. Super easy to wear, and can really be thrown over anything. I especially like fishtail parkas, with really long drawstrings :)

Long Wool Coats

Just some Camel wool coat

Do you wanna look super #stylish and #trendy forreal?? Just pick up a long, camel or grey colored wool coat from your local thrift and layer it like this guy is doing! In all seriousness, I really like these coats' silhouettes, and throw one on with a hoodie, sweater and some black denim and you've got a pretty slick outfit. These coats aren't very hard to find at all, and won't really ever go out of style.

You can buy a grey one from Topman here.
