I Tried the $100 Trendy (But Classic) Nordstrom Jacket Our Readers Love

Since earlier this year—around the time Hailey Bieber and Rihanna started to embrace the trend—the leather-bomber comeback has been on my radar, and it is slowly (but surely) garnering more and more of my attention. More recently, I was told our readers were buying a certain marked-down Levi’s style from Nordstrom like they were candy bars. I quickly messaged our editorial team to see if any of them had yet to try the piece for themselves, but when my Slack went unanswered, it was clear that I would have to be the one to hit check out if I wanted to see what all the hype was about. After all, it seemed perfect on the website, and the reviews corroborated my hunch, so how big a risk could it really be?

Spoiler alert: It was no risk at all because, honestly, the jacket is perfect. It is faux leather but still buttery soft, has the ideal oversize fit and classic silhouette, and, of course, is currently marked down to a sweet $98.90 (and even lower in some extended sizes). Below, you can see how it looked on me, but since my seven-months-pregnant look might not be quite the outfit inspo you’re looking for, I’ve also rounded up a ton of other snaps featuring the trend on some of our favorite fashion people as well as even more leather bombers to shop in case you’re really committed to getting the look. To get started, simply keep scrolling. 

For a brisk-ish spring day, I styled the jacket with a white tee, stretchy pants and platform ankle boots.

I’m wearing a size small, and I love how it is slightly long but not too big. Of course, you could size up for an even roomier fit.

Yes, it comes in extended sizing, too!

Not opposed to a cropped moment.

Nordstrom coming through with an even more affordable option.

This Pixie Market style was on my wish list for a while.

Throw it over everything.

Sometimes, you have to dip into the men’s section.

Tibi always perfects the most important outerwear trends.

Simple yet effective.

This is a great option for getting the more oversize look that celebs love.

A pop of color never hurt. Plus, this brand is known for the quality of its faux leather and faux fur.

Another very classic option.

Khaite is always the goal—am I right?

I’m taking styling notes.

 Nice is right.

This vegan leather looks very luxe.

You can’t not look cool in this.

Of course this is Rihanna’s jacket of choice.

Quilted leather will always come back in style eventually.
