Many of our beloved fashion staples are borrowed from the boys: pantsuit, trench coat, loafers…. and today’s featured iconic piece–the bomber jacket. Originally designed for Air Force pilots, bomber jacket is now deeply loved by women for its versatility, chic clean lines and leg-elongating cropped cut.

The best way to style menswear-inspired pieces is balancing them with feminine, sexy elements, be it a pair of skinny jeans, a scarlet lip, mini skirt, or sexy pointy toe pump. Olivia Palermo always goes one step further: how fashionable are these two bomber jackets on her? Love the edgy leather quilt and sophisticated color block on them!

我们的很多经典的时尚单品都是从男朋友们的衣橱里“借”来的，比如西服套装、经典的风衣、马丁靴等，还有今天我想分享的飞行员夹克。像它的名字所表明的，这种外套最初是为飞行员们保暖而设计的，但它的实用性、简洁的线条以及能拉长身形的短款设计让它迅速在我们女性的衣橱里赢得了一席之地。

这种男孩风单品的最好搭配方式是加入一些女性化的、或柔美或性感的元素，比如迷你裙，荷叶边的上衣、红唇或尖头包鞋等。除了搭配外，Olivia Palermo的这两件飞行员夹克更胜在细节：酷感十足的皮革拼接、酒红色以及经典黑白的色块组合让她的look多了份精致和都市感。
