So, it’s September 1st and Fall is on the forefront of our minds as this upcoming weekend, Labor Day, says that Summer is officially over and we’re on our way to transitioning into Fall.  One of the dominant fashion trends that is weight-appropriate for this early fall  timing just about anywhere, and is also the one fashion piece that can spruce up your wardrobe making it look so Fall 2016, is the Bomber Jacket.

There are many interpretations out there. From the true military influences, where it all began, to the feminization through fabric choices such as satin, velvet, or leather, and then with the most popular treatment to this year’s jackets…..the addition of embellishments through embroidery and texture!  Sizing has also varied from the oversized to the traditional closer to the body fit.  Below are several examples of the many options that you will find out in store very soon, if not already today.  It will be interesting to see your reactions to this ageless jacket and what you feel is unique about the newer versions…….could it be the detailing?  Please let us know your thoughts!
