Bomber jackets were popular this spring, and they're still a favorite this fall.
Originally designed for World War II pilots in the mid-1900s, bomber jackets have transformed from part of a military uniform, to a high-fashion jacket immortalized by James Dean in "Rebel Without a Cause," to a versatile staple that should be hanging in every guy's closet. Not only does it look sharp, you can wear it with pretty much anything.
The best part about the trend is that it's easy to wear — pair your bomber of choice with jeans or chinos and a button-down shirt and be on your way.
