Happy #fashionwednesday!! I am adjusting to life with two kitties (still hoping they’re best friends by the end of the week, but we will see), and hanging out with my hubby! Today I’m showing you how to style my new favorite accessory: the graphic bomber jacket. This particular one is from Arenlace Bridal, and they have a MILLION adorable accessories for my married and soon to be married readers. Don’t worry though — if you aren’t married I’ve linked to some other cutes one, too! Let’s do this.

How To Style A Graphic Bomber Jacket
I am so obsessed with this jacket it isn’t even funny. I think it’s absolutely adorable. I’m so into bomber jackets lately, and I think you can style them so many ways. Obviously, my favorite way is with a graphic tee and ripped jeans. I typically like to pair them with Nikes or another kind of sneaker. You can check out how I styled my light pink bomber here, and my sequin bomber jacket here.
This is a look I would wear out on a relaxed date night with my husband, out to lunch with a girlfriend or running errands. It’s so casual, which I love, but also lets you play with the type of hair and makeup you wear because it’s so neutral which is also awesome.
I definitely plan on taking this look with me to NYFW this year (eeeeeek stay tuned for more posts on that).
Tip #1: How to find your perfect bomber
This is really about personal style. I have 3 bombers — a light pink (millennial pink if you will), a black sequin and now a graphic. I think they are three distinct types of bombers. I think the light pink one is interchangeable with any outfit, fancy or casual, but the graphic one is kind of limited to casual. The sequin one CAN be casual, but I honestly think it looks best when paired with a killer pencil midi skirt. Decide what kind of look you reach for most and then plan your bomber around that.
Tip #2: How to find your perfect pair of boyfriend jeans
I use this simple rule when buying boyfriend jeans: tight butt, loose strut. Ok, I have literally never actually said that but the rule is the same. LOL. You need to keep the jeans fitted around your bum, and loose around your knees. Preferably with ripped sections because that aids in the the loose knees without looking like your pants are too big. People run into problems when they forget the tight butt rule. It doesn’t look intentional when you have a baggy back side.
Tip #3: ROCK THAT LOOK
I always like to end with this even though it isn’t a real tip per say. The key to EVERY SINGLE OUTFIT you wear is having the confidence to wear it. If you feel pretty in it, ignore the haters. It doesn’t matter your body shape, what you weigh, how society thinks you should look, etc. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard “red lipstick intimidates guys, don’t wear it”, or “you really can’t pull off bell bottom jeans”, or “don’t wear fake eyelashes because you look too done up for every day”. Forget it. Forget them. I like red lipstick so I wear it. I like bell bottom jeans so I buy them. I like fake lashes so I AM GOING TO PUT THEM ON. Do what makes you feel like a queen.

Ok, so I know today wasn’t chalk full of bomber jacket tips, but I hope what you took away from this post is that you can wear anything that makes you feel amazing. It’s hump day, so make the most of the rest of your week and wear one thing out of your comfort zone!!

Thanks girl!!!
Aw, that’s a cute jacket! I also love your line about the perfect boyfriend jeans. I hate hate hate when jeans are sagging around the butt. 🙁 I like them loose around my knees / legs but I like them snug around my curves so I don’t look a total hot mess.
YES exactly. They need to hug your body in a way that is flattering, not like “mom” jeans.
Seriously love this look with the makeup.
I love a bomber jacket draped over the shoulders! You look great here – especially with that lipstick 🙂
Thanks girlfriend!!! It is my new favorite look I think!!!
First off, I LOVE that jacket. I definitely need to get one. I love the way you styled it. So cute!
Thanks girl!!! I love it too — so catchy and cute!!!
oh my word! I’m in love with that jacket???? I love the “Married AF” slogan too! Super cute – i feel like o need this bomber jacket in my life, lol????
I feel like EVERYONE needs this bomber in their life. It’s SO adorable.
Such a cute jacket and love your edgy makeup!
Thank you girlfriend!!!!!
I love how you styled this! It almost makes me wish we had cooler weather here in Florida so I could wear something like that! (We have like, 1 week in February when it’s chilly enough for a jacket).
LOL. That’s super funny. It isn’t quite cold enough for it yet here, but come September it will be!!!
That’s such a fun jacket, T! And I seriously need to get a good pair of boyfriend jeans… shopping trip when I come to visit?!? 😉
well OBVIOUSLYYYY.
What a fun look, Taylor! And you’re rocking that purple lipstick girl.
Love the pink jacket as well — this one is really cute too! I love your advice about just rocking whatever outfit you choose to wear. Confidence makes a huge difference in how you appear to others. Even if someone is wearing something that’s not my personal style, if they own it, I end up thinking they look amazing! 🙂
Yes exactly!!! Thanks girl!
I’m such a fan of bomber jackets! That one you’ve got there is too cute haha! You’ve styled it so well, too – love it!

I love this. I always see these around and wonder how to make it different. Great post!
Now that I know the rule for finding the perfect fit for boyfriend jeans, I’ll have to find me a pair. The humidity here is always close to 100%, so I’m not feeling the bomber jacket at this moment. But, I love how you styled them.
