For a Parisian take on the bomber jacket trend, first, opt for cotton with its understated matt finish, rather than a retro nylon. Second, choose navy for extra chic appeal. And third, call it a blouson, not a bomber, bien sûr.

Styling ideas
- Wear with straight leg jeans and an untucked shirt (but keep your shirt collar tucked inside the jacket). A red cross body bag will finish the outfit.
- Layer over a simple narrow tunic dress in a block colour and smart flats.
- Try with a classic breton top, slim black trousers and choose from low heeled pumps or a white plimsoll trainer to complete the look.
I love this jacket but missed out on my size because of a school girls error! (Wrote about it on my blog) but anyway – loving your styling tips. Made me smile about keeping collar inside!!
