Bomber jackets are a style that returns often. For fall 2025, however, it's a style that feels more relevant than ever. It's been rethought, refined, and reworked. It's entering the closets of fashion's best dressers, and some specific themes are apparent. Chocolate brown, for instance, is a color that has been popping up everywhere on the street style scene at New York Fashion Week, which is a sign that it will continue to be a big color throughout the upcoming season.

Cargo pockets have also been big in elevated and polished ways—executed by brands such as Ralph Lauren. Leather is a way we're seeing the best versions of bomber jackets enter the market for fall, so those styles are key investment pieces to have in your shopping cart.
