The Outfit Formula I'm Starting to See Everywhere Is Both Cool and Chic
If I were to list the trendy basics that are front-runners for the editors here at Who What Wear, there are two items that would undoubtedly be deemed staples. I’m referring to maxi skirts and bomber jackets. Each piece is highly versatile and can thus be styled with a range of other items to create standout looks. And combining the two? Well, that’s just perfect.
That’s right. I’ve been starting to see maxi skirts teamed with leather bomber jackets more and more on my Instagram feed and out and about. And I’d deem the pairing both cool and effortlessly chic because of the modern and of-the-moment nature. To showcase this trending outfit formula further, I pulled some of my favorite iterations of the look for you below. If you want to add a maxi skirt or bomber jacket to your spring wardrobe, there are inspired shopping recommendations sprinkled throughout as well.
This is as chic as it gets with the of-the-moment leather bomber jacket and the gorgeous maxi skirt.
The asymmetric skirt is effortlessly chic with the bomber jacket and booties.
Consider an oversize jacket with a longer skirt for a modern look. The addition of the scarf brings extra dimension to the ensemble.
This is another example of the leather jacket and skirt silhouette. Here, note the pops of red. So trend forward.
