Leather jacket "Pilot"

This trend is rapidly gaining momentum in popularity. Previously, aviator jackets belonged to the military style, and at that time they still did not win the heart of every Russian fashionista.

In the global arena, “bomber” is a must have not only in autumn and winter (as it was last season), but already in summer. Every self-respecting designer seeks to find a place for this little thing in his collections. And that means that the Pilot leather jacket must certainly appear in your wardrobe!

The jacket of today's fashionable style was developed almost 100 years ago specifically for pilots.

Saying "thank you" for this follows the Americans, the Douglas brothers, who opened a private flying club in Greenwood in the late 1920s. Robert and John, being great romantics and sky lovers, organized a small club in which they showed demonstration flights and arranged aero-tours for tourists.

The cockpits of the aircraft, which were controlled by the brothers, were open. This required pilots and their passengers appropriate equipment. Therefore, the brothers also organized their own store, in which they sold specialized leather jackets and helmets.

Small-scale production soon had to be expanded - the Douglas began to receive orders for their illustrious flight jackets from the US Air Force itself. Thus, the legendary Pilot jacket, or Bomber jacket, as it is called in the homeland, went into production.

They began to make it from different types of materials: horse skin was combined with knitted knitwear (cuffs) and sheepskin (collars, lining).

With the development of jet aircraft, “Pilots” began to be sewn from nylon.

Lightweight, but very warm jackets were equipped with a bright orange lining so that pilots could give distress signals in case of accidents.

By the 1980s, the popularity of stylish aviator jackets had grown so much that couturiers began to produce them in their collections.

So the famous jacket forever won the hearts of all the mods of the planet. For both men and women, the Pilot jacket has always been a huge success.

And today, the fashion round has returned to the fact that for several decades it was slightly forgotten. The bomber jacket is stylish, practical and comfortable!

Needless to say, jackets designed specifically for harsh weather conditions will ideally protect against frost in our climate?

Being made of rough or tanned leather and insulated with natural fur, the Pilot jackets are not only ergonomic, they also look great. But this is the most important factor for every fashionista.

This option of outerwear allows you not to choose between warm and beautiful - here these qualities perfectly coexist.

Jackets "bomber" are short - their length reaches only the waistline, or goes down 1-2 cm below. The collar is voluminous, trapezoidal.

Warm models have fur trim. Summer variations of the "bombers" are more concise, even their collar is small.

Speaking of practicality, it is a short jacket that is relevant today for any modern woman who leads an active lifestyle.

And if you are a car enthusiast, then even such a jacket should suit you more than a fur coat or long coat.

However, this type of outerwear is relevant for representatives of any age, sphere of professional activity or lifestyle. Therefore, do not be alarmed at such an unusual length and start wearing a Pilot jacket. On how to do this correctly, we will describe further.

Despite the fact that Pilot jackets are now available for any time of the year, I still want to pay special attention to fashionistas on models for winter. And here, of course, there is scope for the imagination of designers, which they embody in their latest collections.

Chanel, Gucci, Acne and many other famous brands offer a wide selection of models of Bomber jackets with fur.

Today, not only collars are trimmed with fur, but also the cuffs of Pilot jackets, and even their hem. In addition to the traditional sheepskin, mink, sable, fox, rabbit are also used for decoration.

Of course, models richly decorated with fur inserts are not so much an everyday option as for publication. Although, lovers of a shocking image can afford to shine in this outfit and on weekdays.

In any case, fashion designers have long moved away from the traditional cut of the “Pilot”, introducing more and more deviations from the prototype. So, one can find Pilot jackets on fur with a shortened sleeve. It looks bold and spectacular!

Adherents of classical foundations and fans of an authentic analogue of the modern trend will like any shades of Pilot jackets that belong to the natural range. This is black, and dark green, and brown, and blue, and burgundy, and even light blue.

It is in these tones that leather jackets of aviators look the most stylish.

Of course, designers are in a hurry to keep up with all the whims of fashionistas, but because leather "bombers" in more vivid and defiant color variations can also be found today, and they will be no less appropriate.

Those who want to create a military style in their outfits should opt for “army” colors - dark green and brown, as well as khaki.

If you strive to be on the cutting edge of fashion, go in search of the “Pilot” jacket, made in one of the most trendy colors of the coming autumn-winter season:

• iced coffee;
• emerald green;
• pink cedar;
• mustard clay;
• spicy mustard;
• lilac violet;
• cold gray;
• river blue or air blue
• bright red.

In such a variety it is not difficult to get confused. But there are several universal recommendations that will help you not to make a mistake with the choice:

• If you adhere to conservative looks in your outfits, do not stop looking only at the black Pilot models. Depending on the type of appearance (hair, skin and eye color), you can choose a very restrained option, but do not stop boring. So, the gray, red, plum tones of the Pilot jackets are relevant and relevant today.
• Demi-season or winter "bomber" must have fur trim. It is not only beautiful, it has a practical side. But walking in a leather jacket without fur in the cold and cold is harmful and looks ridiculous.
• Today, there are a lot of models of flying-themed jackets decorated with additional zippers, as well as fringe, embroideries, rivets. Think carefully before opting for such a model. Its versatility is lost, because additional decorations make it appropriate not in every situation.

The choice of clothes that can be combined with the Pilot jacket is practically unlimited. But, of course, there are especially winning combinations.

So, if we talk about shoes, then it should be made of rough leather, possibly with sheepskin trim. It can be both flat shoes and high-heeled ankle boots.

Actual trends dictate wearing slip-ons, crippers, loafers or chelsea with such a look.

An incredibly seductive and domineering image will be created by an ensemble of a light chiffon dress and a “Pilot” leather jacket with a sheepskin collar.

It is also possible to create a strict office style: dark trousers, a light shirt and a classic “bomber” of traditional tones - aerobatics in the field of a business suit for a modern woman on the crest of a fashionable wave.

Youth option for all occasions: a Pilot jacket, leggings thrown over a duo + a loose cut T-shirt. In the cold season, a short sweater or pullover is simply added to this ensemble.
