Bomber jackets: The new models for autumn finally convinced me of the trend.
If I currently open the weather app for Munich, I do it with a laughing and a crying eye. Crying because summer is gradually getting to an end and the days are getting shorter and cooler again. Laughing, because the most exciting time in terms of fashion and styling is imminent in autumn. Because while at 25 degrees upwards the intention behind your own looks mainly seems to consist of wearing as little material as possible so as not to melt away, it can be combined cheerfully and loved again in autumn.
Only: Somehow that layering has actually been difficult for me in recent years – the search for the ideal transition jacket had not led to any result. Trenchcoats were usually too long for me at a height of 1.63 meters, I usually found leather jackets too short or then with rivets and Co. To Edgy for my minimalist style. Even the trendy barn jackets did not seem to fit the rest of my wardrobe. And finally, no real fashion love wanted to set themselves to bomber jackets and blousons. Too sporty, too casual-that was my personal judgment for the trend jackets.
The new bomber jackets in autumn 2025 look so more elegant
However, the nice thing is: opinions can change. So also mine in relation to the bomber jackets. Because for the new season, the jackets are now more elegant than ever before. This is mainly due to the choice of materials. Instead of glossy (and thus more striking) smooth leather, the new models are shown in velor and suede, which gives the jackets a more elegant vibe in my eyes. In addition, there are variants made of wool that are also less sporty thanks to the soft surface. Also because the bomber jackets are supplemented by classic details such as shirt or stand-up collar.
And finally there would be the color selection. Based on the continuously popular and trendy boho trend, many of the bomber jackets are made of velor leather and wool in natural tones such as brown, beige or olive. Especially in combination with jeans (my favorite pants selection in autumn), the jackets look less contrasting than models in black.
