A bomber jacket is a great way to spice up your wardrobe. You can totally throw it over your mandarin collared shirt or a t-shirt and end up looking more stylish, without trying too hard. It’s also a lot more versatile and wearable than a restrictive leather jacket. Not to mention, you can actually move your arms in a bomber, without feeling trapped.
