From military wear to street-style, the bomber jacket is the ultimate outerwear staple for men's fashion this fall.&nbsp;

Originally designed to keep Air Force pilots warm while in combat during WWI, the <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/asap-rocky-awge-american-sabotage-mens-spring-summer-2025-runway-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bomber jacket</a> has been a staple in American men's style for decades. Though the jacket was purely practical at the time, with its cinched sleeves and high cinched waist, it has proven to be as fashionable as it is utilitarian a century later. Actor <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/joseph-quinn-facts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joseph Quinn</a>, the L'OFFICIEL global cover star for <a href="https://preview.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/joseph-quinn-stranger-things-gladiator-2-interview-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">October 2024</a> sports a bomber in his cover shoot, further solidifying its timeless status. Designer brands have long imagined their twists on the jacket, with many different styles to choose from for men looking to add effortlessly cool jacket into their fall rotation.
