What we now call bomber jackets were initially known as flight jackets (aka aviator jackets)—outerwear worn by military pilots to keep 'em warm in unheated fighter planes. Today, the versatile jacket has eclipsed its practical roots to become a total closet essential that’s beloved by street style stars like Rihanna, the Hadids, and Kendall Jenner. Plus, luxe design houses like Valentino, Loewe, and Max Mara have whipped up their own stylish renditions of the classic from time to time.

What's awesome about the bomber jacket is that there are so many styles to choose from—and they work for every sort of outfit! Wearing athleisure or somethin' sporty? Throw on a bomber with more of a chill vibe, so go for an oversized look. Opting for cargo pants? Keep it casual with a regular fitted style. Wanna go glam? Then a sleek, satin bomber jacket is your ticket to elevated chicness. And if you wanna show off your high-waisted pants (we get it, because same), the cropped bomber is the best choice. We've got 'em all in this roundup!

Our top picks for the best bomber jackets for women of 2024:

Rave Review: "This jacket runs a little bit large," one reviewer writes. "I initially ordered a small, but when I got it, it was a little too frumpy on me, so I exchanged for an extra small and it's perfect now. This is a great light jacket for autumn and spring. It's not going to keep you very warm, but does a good job on a day with the sun out in 60s-75s temps. Such a staple for my wardrobe. I love it!"
