Don't call it a comeback... because 'it' never really left but man oh man, bomber jackets are back - in a HUUUUGEEEE way! They were the sleeper hit of 2015 - smatterings of the vintage-inspired jacket sprung up here and there in the street style slideshows but then BAM! they were seen on the sinuous backs of models, musicians and mortals everywhere.

I first sung praises of the swishy staple in the summer of 2014. And I still feel some type of way about it. You see, a bomber jacket works with everything. Tuxedo pants. A slip dress. Distressed denim. A mini-skirt. Stripy sweaters. A ball gown. Everything, I tell you!

 But as I learned in my collegiate years, it's bad writing to tell and not show you. To prove bomber jackets are the wardrobe staple you never really knew you needed, here is a slideshow of all the bad bitches in styles that run the gamut from understated olive (haaayyy RiRi!) to a flamethrower-printed Givenchy (push thru, Kendall!) to a pretty peachy pink number (Soo Joo FTW!).

31 Days of December, 31 Perfect Looks to Steal

by Matthew T. Murray in $hop, Steal Their Style


Let's just blame it on Gossip Girl. Since that snooty chick started stalking the pretty princesses of the Upper East Side detailing their trials and tribulations, we have grown into a generation twith no qualms with stalking. We can then place blame for this cyber-stalking phenomenon on Instagram and social media as a whole. We follow people and shamelessly stalk their lives. We've all become voyeurs finding an almost-erotic pleasure in observing people's daily rituals, outstanding outfits, and toned bodies and we've come to identify them as #goals. We want to be them. We want to look like them. We want to learn how the f@$% they get that contour. 

And while this could be a cause for concern I'll likely explore later in my RAMBLINGS sector, I'm thankful that it has become not only socially acceptable but celebrated for us to stalk. How else would we find outfit inspo for the chilly temps ahead that might freeze the tits off (let's not forget that excruciating Polar Vortex that vaguely resembled a death trap from Saw III)? These street style stars in the slideshow below serve up MAJOR style inspiration that reminds you getting dressed should be fun, even when it's as cold as 12 igloos outside.  Looking cute in winter is no easy feat - but these fashionistas prove that you can look stylish and not catch hyperthermia.
