BOMBER JACKETS ARE BIG FOR SPRING AND H&M'S NEW £45 ‘QUIET LUXURY’ DESIGN IS OUR TOP PICK

As well as making planning anything almost impossible, the current ever-changing weather is also wreaking havoc on our wardrobe. With sunshine tricking us into thinking it feels like summer one moment, and winter-worthy rain just minutes later, trying to get dressed each morning requires some serious planning.

One way to beat the unpredictable temperatures is with layering, and a lightweight jacket or coat is an absolute essential. We’ve been on the hunt for the holy grail of jackets – one that’s warm enough to protect you from the chill whilst still being light and breezy enough to wear when the sun peeks back out.

And thanks to H&M, we think we’ve found it. The Linen-Blend Bomber Jacket, £44.99 here, is not only perfectly practical, but it’s chic and on-trend too – definitely a winning combination in our eyes.

Bomber jackets might be trending right now, but they’re also a timeless addition to your wardrobe that will never go out of style. The H&M version has a classic loose fit with a boxy shape and ribbed collar that keep it in line with a traditional bomber jacket, but it also has plenty of luxe-looking details that give it a more elevated edge.

Gently dropped shoulders make it look effortlessly cool, whilst the addition of shoulder pads help give it structure and stop it from looking too sloppy or casual. It also has a press stud fastening and front flap pockets that are not only chic, but practical too.

As well as looking the part, the H&M bomber jacket is an ideal choice for spring thanks to its 36% linen blend material, which means it’s warm whilst still being breathable and lightweight. Just what you need on those balmy spring days!

You can also choose between white, beige and black colourways, although the beige version is currently completely sold out. However you can still snap up both the white and black options in all sizes from XS to XXL.

If you want to go all-out with your springtime vibes, River Island’s Yellow Linen Blend Tailored Bomber Jacket, £60 here, is the perfect pastel hue for the season. It’s also made from a linen-blend fabric and has the classic bomber jacket details including a ribbed collar, oversized fit and flap pockets that make it timeless.

The River Island version is also currently available in beige, making it a great alternative to H&M’s sold out colour if neutrals are more your style. Our wardrobes might be spring-ready, but now all we need is the weather to get the memo.
