Designer Bomber Jackets & Blousons for Men
Chic, suitable for everyday wear and very much on trend: the designer men's bomber jacket. It is no coincidence that it is also known as the flight jacket – this was developed for US military pilots in the first half of the 20th century and set new standards in terms of design and comfort. However, the new interpretations of this classic have much more to offer than the voluminous olive green original model: the bomber jackets for men in the current designer collections are characterised by versatile styles, colours, or an exciting mix of materials. Find the right style for every occasion here in the BRAUN Hamburg online shop.
What is the Difference Between a Blouson and a Bomber Jacket?
Originally designed for the military, the bomber jacket has certain features such as a voluminous inner lining to keep out the cold, patch zip pockets, a ribbed or fur collar and other functional details. A sporty bomber jacket for men is more similar to its military counterpart, while blousons often refer to simpler and more elegant styles with a fold-down collar. In fashion, however, the two terms can be used synonymously, as they have the characteristic elements in common: a cut that ends at the hips and the typical knitted bands at the hem and at the sleeves.
Are Bomber Jackets Still on Trend?
Designer bomber jackets for men are still an essential fashion statement that asserts itself in the contemporary wardrobe with remarkable flexibility. It's no wonder that the bomber jacket has found a firm place in men's fashion: Thanks to designers' willingness to experiment with new materials and colours, the urban bomber jacket remains relevant and exciting.
The advantages of the functional design are also obvious. The short cut ensures sufficient freedom of movement and the cuffs keep the cold wind out. Since various subcultures such as the mods and scooter boys in the 1960s and later the hip-hoppers made the stylish aviator jacket their own, it has recently experienced a roaring fashion comeback. Whether in streetwear, in high fashion collections or as a stylish element of an elegant outfit, the bomber jacket remains a symbol of fashion awareness and coolness that is constantly being revitalised.
The Perfect Designer Men's Blouson for Every Season
Today, we benefit from the enormous versatility of this modern classic: the short cut makes a designer bomber jacket for men the perfect lightweight transitional jacket. But you are not only well-dressed in the moderate temperatures of spring and autumn with this all-rounder. Even in the cold season, the men's blouson – lined with warming down, with quilting or a fur collar – guarantees comfortable everyday comfort and keeps you nice and warm at the same time. And as a summer blouson, in cotton it is light and airy. Whether with buttons or a zip, straightforward and simple with a typical blouson collar, stand-up collar or with a sporty hood and kangaroo pockets – the blouson jacket for men makes your leisure look perfect.
Why are Some Bomber Jackets Orange on the Inside?
Military flight jackets were first manufactured with an orange inner lining in the 1960s for a very specific reason: pilots in an emergency could turn the jacket inside out and be found more easily by rescuers thanks to the bright colour.
Who Can Wear a Bomber Jacket?
Their versatility makes designer bomber jackets for men a stylish garment that offers advantages for every body type, depending on the cut. Here's how to find the right model for you:
- Slim to normal figure: A regular fit blouson suits you best. A classic men's bomber jacket from Polo Ralph Lauren for men complements sophisticated casual outfits best with a comfortable pair of jeans.
- Shorter stature: An oversized style with a short cut, for example from Ami Paris for men, can visually elongate the body. Extra slim-fit jeans go particularly well with these.
- Heavy-set body type: Clean styles like those from Herno for men without voluminous padding radiate timeless elegance without being bulky. Just make sure that the blouson isn't too long but fits swell around the waistband.
Style is another aspect to consider when choosing the right designer blouson for men. Choose the one that suits your personality best:
- Sporty, functional styles from outerwear labels such as Stone Island are suitable for men who like to be on the move and value functionality.
- Minimalist designer men's blousons made from fine materials such as suede or cashmere, for example from Brunello Cucinelli for men, complement smart casual looks in a particularly stylish way.
- Trendy college jackets with logo patches or embroidery from hip designers such as A.P.C. for men are the right choice to make a fashion statement.
