Layer up. With bomber jackets on top! — Photos

With athleisure still reigning the streets, bomber jackets have relocated from the back of the closet to the front. And while runways showed us how to sport the style, it's the street-stylers who have taken the right cue on how to access the effortless vibe, and still manage to look brilliantly polished in them.

Refer to the sports star, or pilot look. The truth is, you'll want a bit of both. And, as shown by the real connoisseurs, the bomber trend goes a long way this season into creating that super casual-cool feel we all want a piece of.

Bright, glossy textures are leading the way. Other more classic approaches promise to take you from day to evening, even if you have to keep it proper, but want to break off the routine. Truthfully, you can't get any more practical; getting an instant makeover is a bomber jacket away!

• Merge the entire active aesthetic with clean-cut tailored pieces by twisting otherwise classic formal ensembles, into the interesting editorial looks.

• Zip it up when playing color block. Keep it open when matching different layers so you get to see the contrast.

• Button up blouses and shirts under the jacket to create a statement style.

• Wear a bomber jacket with mid-length or mini-skirt and boots. Both the upper part of your body and the lower part will grab attention and create balance.

• Play with layers. Under the jacket, and over it. Think vests and scarves to add interest

• Guys can pair office trousers for a casual Friday and add a final touch by still wearing a tie!

How to accessorize?

• A beanie and sneakers will definitely add to the relaxed look on a weekend.

• Counterbalance the jackets slouchy, big shoulders and arm fit, by creating a long silhouette through ankle heels or stilettos for girls.

• Accentuate the city style with a pair of bold sunglasses, or stylish classic aviators to get the complete on-trend look.
