Make a chunky leather bomber jacket your go-to plus one this spring.
When it comes to elevating a transitional springtime ensemble, a jacket is without a doubt the only plus one you’ll need once the balmy weather BBQs return.
But this year, as life begins to resemble our existence before you-know-what, forgo your decaying denim jacket and your olde worlde throw-on-and-gos for there’s a new jacket style that’s elbowed its way to the forefront of our collective style consciousness.

The streets of the most recent fashion weeks were flooded with leather bomber jackets – most notably of the vintage-inspired variety – and they’ve parlayed their way front and centre onto the bodies of the most in-demand faces in fashion. Their beauty lies in their stylistic nonchalance, their ability to tone down an outfit with the grunge appeal of a pre-loved piece handed down from generation to generation.
This being fashion, there is now a fleet of intentionally grunge-inspired leather bombers, with everybody from east London label House of Sunny to AllSaints and its signature sumptuous buttery leather. The diktat is clear: here’s a forever jacket that requires minimal styling but promises to bring the wow factor each and every time you wear it. Don’t believe us? Just see for yourself.
House of Sunny Take A Trip bomber jacket
A firm favourite among style’s inner circle, House of Sunny’s violet bomber jacket is perfect for adding a dose of sartorial jazz hands to an otherwise sombre ensemble.
