Fashion - By Alexandra Stedman

The jacket of the season, but it can go a bit OTT. I’d say steer clear of too many logos or dragons (unless it’s an authentic vintage Japanese tour jacket, that is). If you’re not going super luxe, then keep it simple and stick to monochrome and navy palettes. Easy to wear, throw it on with jeans or over your shoulders to dress down an evening look.

I’m super chuffed with my Bershka bomber – it was the first time I’d gone into the store (I’d always assumed it was too young in the past) and there were a few good bits, it just goes to show don’t judge a store by its previous marketing campaigns!
