The bomber jacket has been a wardrobe staple for years, but this season it’s getting a far more polished update. The sporty shape is still there, but sharper details and a higher neckline give it a smarter feel - making it just as easy to wear with tailored trousers as it is with your favourite jeans.
A particularly chic take on the trend? Zara's Tab Detail Bomber jacket. Designed in a versatile light beige shade, the jacket comes complete with a high collar and sleek tab detailing, front press stud fastenings for a chic touch, and a gathered, blouson hem that gives the style shape.
It also has front pockets, so it’s practical enough for everyday wear, and comes with a clean finish that makes the style look especially considered. At just under £50 it’s a smart way to hop onto the season’s funnel neck trend - without spending an absolute fortune.
Of course, the high collar is the detail that makes this jacket feel especially current. Funnel neck styles have been appearing across coats and jackets this season, adding a little structure while offering extra coverage on colder days. With Zara's style, this neckline gives the familiar bomber shape a more considered edge, without making it feel too formal.
I’d wear it with straight leg jeans, a simple knit and loafers for an easy daytime look, or try it over a crisp shirt with tailored trousers for something more pulled together.
The light beige colour also works well with autumn’s deeper shades - think chocolate brown, burgundy and navy - as well as lighter denim and cream. An easy layer that brings a little polish to everyday outfits, this is the kind of jacket you’ll keep reaching for, even when the weather turns especially cold.
