Each season ushers in an array of fashion trends, which appear on the runway, proliferate over the internet and, finally, get the nod of approval of A-listers. And while some might be too outlandish for everyday life, this winter witnesses a compelling fusion of cool and comfort. Enter the revival of bomber jackets, which are bigger and better than ever. And the one we've set our hearts on is from luxury house Acne Studios.
If you haven’t seen the Acne Studios padded bomber, where have you been? Puffy sleeves, an oversized silhouette and a rich, dark brown hue makes this jacket an instant cool-girl status symbol. While the concept of bomber jackets isn't groundbreaking, Acne Studios breathes new life into the traditional style, playing with proportions and inflating the silhouette.
And who better to champion the new trend than Hailey Bieber? Layered beneath the exaggerated piece, Bieber wore hers with a loose grey T-shirt paired with baggy white cargos and chunky boots. Accessorising with chunky gold hoop earrings and her signature sunnies, she shows how wearable the Acne Studios piece is.
If, like the rest of the fashion world, you've been swooning over this jacket but find the price tag a hurdle, BLANKNYC offers an alternative at a fraction of the cost. While nothing can quite match the original, this cropped and padded version comes remarkably close – the only thing missing is that distinctive dark brown hue.
