Mom + Me Style: How to Rock Bomber Jackets

September 25, 2018 By Kari Leave a Comment

Everyone should have at least one bomber jacket in their closet. Here’s why we love them so much,
a few ideas on how to style, and several links to shop the best ones for ladies and kids!

bomber jackets-1How to Rock Bomber Jackets

The bomber jacket trend is still alive and well. It’s been around for a long time, really took off about three years ago, and I don’t think it’s going anywhere anytime soon. I’m ok with that. I love this look! There are many different variations, making the bomber jacket still one of the most popular outerwear pieces. Here’s why we love it so much, along with a few we absolutely adore for both ladies and kids.

Why It’s Great For Women:

  • It’s edgy, playful, and young, yet polished and pulled together.
  • It’s lightweight so it can be layered, making it versatile from season to season.
  • The cinched waist makes the bomber jacket flattering on many different body types.
  • It’s easy to dress up or down, making it acceptable for pretty much any plan you have.

Ladies: Tips for Wearing A Bomber Jacket:

  • The bomber jacket is designed to rest at the right spot, providing shape, and accentuating your waistline. It should graze the top or your pants. Or, if you’re wearing it with a slim-fitting dress, opt for a bulky “boyfriend style,” which rests mid-butt.
  • Make sure you have room. Don’t be swimming in your bomber jacket! You want enough space to layer pieces underneath.
  • Style with ankle cut jeans, a cropped hoodie, and cute runners for running errands.
  • Pair with boyfriend jeans, a bodysuit, and heels.
  • Wear with a floral dress for a mix of edgy and feminine.

Why Bomber Jackets Are Great For Kids:

  • They’re on trend and absolutely adorable.
  • They’re easy to match with mom and/or dad! I mean, who doesn’t want to match?
  • They’re thin enough to wear in a car seat without having to peel back a bulky winter coat. (*Disclaimer: check with your doctor or car seat specialist to ensure your child’s jacket is acceptable to be worn while in the seat.)
  • They allow for a lot of movement during (perpetual) play time.
  • They’re breathable and comfy.
  • Most are zippered, so your little one can take it off themselves (although let’s be honest, they’ll probably still ask you to do it!).

You know what drains a kid's emotional cup - being overscheduled. We've lived it and I'm here to say it's SO MUCH BETTER on the other side.

📍Last year, our goal was to give our oldest (now 8) every opportunity to try things to figure out what he loved. His schedule was packed with activities (I realize this is a privileged point). We were running - sometimes literally - from school to activity every night of the week and on weekends.

📍Fast-forward to this year - he has so much more time to just be a kid and we're all happier! He's picked a couple of things he's passionate about, but we've cut so much out and now most of our after-school time is open. Maybe we'll run an errand, maybe we'll come home and hang out, maybe we'll play at the park with friends and get ice cream. 

✨️ If one day he decides he wants to pour more time into one of his passions - we support that, but for now this is it and it's awesome! 

➡️ Have you lived this? How do you balance wanting to expose your kid to different activities so they find what they love with wanting your kids to just be a kid? Share below.

🚨Two Laundry Hacks!🚨 Share this with a frien 🚨Two Laundry Hacks!🚨 Share this with a friend who could use some laundry help. 🤗

➡️ Do you hate laundry? Love it? I love washing and hanging. My husband is definitely better at folding. ❤️

Tip 1️⃣ has been a game-changer. Fresh laundry and no stinky clothes that have been sitting too long. I schedule mine to end when our baby naps so I can get to it right away. 

Tip 2️⃣ if you want wrinkle-free clothes that don't wear down as quickly - take your clothes from the wash and throw in the dryer for 5-8 mins only and then hang to dry. I do this for everything but stuff that is workout pant or bathing suit material (that goes straight on the rack).

The little time on the dryer is just enough to take the wrinkles out without shrinking or compromising the longevity of your items.

Towels, blankets, and sheets do go in the dryer for a full round. 

Did this help?
