Bomber Jacket for the 50’s, 60’s, & 70’s: Appointment Wear
Wearing bomber jackets for an appointment is not much different than a blazer or any other type of jacket. The bomber jacket is defined as a short jacket with elastic at the waist and cuffs, usually with a zipper.
Quote of the day: “The worst bullies you will ever encounter in your life are your own thoughts.” Bryant H. McGill
Since these bomber jackets were originally created for pilots (read men), there is not much shaping to these garments. This could be a good or bad thing depending on your shape and preference. Wearing them to an appointment works well since many offices run on the cooler side.
Make sure to see how we wore these for a casual day and a dressier look.

I like the yellow under this jacket to add some color to the mix (obviously because I used the same color under it for the next post…ha ha…at least I’m consistent).
