The Bomb Shell
Men's Health South Africa|June 2018

It started as standard military issue, but now it’s repping on catwalks and movie screens – the bomber jacket has come a long way. Consider it a safe investment in your street cred.

The Bomb Shell

Made popular by badass pilots in WWII, the bomber is one of the most stylish jackets you can own. Our favourite colours are black, blue or green, and it can work as both a jacket and a middle layer beneath a peacoat. The black option is useful, as it works with most casual outfits. The cropped shape is flattering, as it helps accentuate your shoulders and lengthen your legs. They’re also comfortable and versatile – you can wear them as easily with denim as with suit pants.
