As the winter chill lingers, fashion enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating the arrival of spring, and Marks and Spencer is leading the charge with its latest collection of bomber jackets. The new range, featuring materials like denim and suede, has sparked significant attention on social media platforms, where influencers and loyal fans are expressing their admiration for the stylish offerings.
Denim Bomber Jacket: A Versatile Spring Essential
The Denim Relaxed Bomber Jacket, priced at £55, serves as an ideal compromise for those torn between a classic denim trucker and a bomber style. Available in sizes from extra small to extra large, this jacket boasts a relaxed fit with dropped shoulders, creating a slouchy, effortless vibe. Crafted from a blend of 68% cotton, 31% lyocell, and 1% elastane, it promises softness against the skin while appealing to eco-conscious shoppers.
Key features include a leather trim on the collar for a refined edge, a popper fastening over the zip to shield against breezes, and a drawstring hem that allows for adjustable styling—either as a bubble shape or loose fit. Two front pockets provide practical storage for essentials, making it both fashionable and functional for casual spring outings.
Suede Options for a Luxurious Touch
For those seeking a more luxurious look, the Per Una Suedette Collared Bomber Jacket, priced at £70, offers a deep brown hue that exudes quiet luxury. Available in sizes eight to 24, this suede-style jacket features a collared neckline and elasticated hem, maintaining the classic bomber silhouette. Its concealed fastening ensures a clean appearance, while two flap square pockets add ample storage.
Alternatively, fashionistas might consider the Barneys Originals Real Suede Funnel Neck Bomber Jacket from Debenhams, currently discounted to £120 from £225, which comes in a tan suede hue with a funnel neck for a distinct twist. On ASOS, the Topshop cropped faux suede bomber jacket in camel, priced at £76, offers a more fitted option with shoulder epaulettes and an elasticated hem, available in four colours.
Social Media Buzz and Stylist Endorsements
Although these bomber jackets are new arrivals at Marks and Spencer, early social media reactions have been overwhelmingly positive. A recent Instagram video showcasing the Denim Relaxed Bomber Jacket garnered enthusiastic comments, with one user simply stating, "Love this," and others responding with heart-eye emojis.
Stylist Melissa, from M&S's YouTube series Love That, highlighted the jacket's versatility, noting, "For me, it's the drawstring at the bottom. You can kind of bunch it up. There are so many different elements here that make it look a little bit stylised. I love this leather trim on the collar and then we've got this vintage bomber feel on the back." She recommended sizing down for a snugger fit, as the design tends to be relatively oversized.
With spring on the horizon, Marks and Spencer's bomber jackets provide a perfect blend of style and practicality, allowing wearers to transition smoothly from winter layers to lighter, trendier outerwear. Whether opting for denim or suede, these pieces are set to become wardrobe staples for the season ahead.
