Anine Bing Leon Bomber in Army Green

Turns out, the jacket that goes with everything doesn’t have to be black.

The Anine Bing Leon Bomber in Army Green was an easy yes for us. The classic bomber silhouette has that effortless Anine Bing attitude we love, while the muted Army Green gives it a softer, more unexpected feel.

It’s relaxed without looking scruffy, cool without trying too hard and incredibly easy to throw over what you’re already wearing. Army green works almost like a neutral—brilliant with denim, black, cream and white—so don’t be fooled into thinking this is a difficult colour to wear.

It isn’t. And that’s precisely why we bought it.

Why it made the cut

• Army Green is one of those brilliant colours that behaves like a neutral.
• The bomber silhouette is timeless, but still gives an outfit a little edge.
• It’s an easy extra layer without the weight or formality of a coat.
• It works just as well with feminine pieces as it does with denim and tailoring.
• We could immediately think of half a dozen ways to wear it. That’s usually when we know.

How we’d wear it…

Over a white tee with relaxed blue denim, trainers and a great pair of sunglasses for everyday. We’d also love it with black wide-leg trousers and loafers, or thrown over a floaty dress to take away any sweetness. Sleeves pushed up, zip open, nothing too perfect.

Care

Follow the care label instructions to maintain the fabric, colour and shape of your bomber. Spot clean between wears where possible and store on a good hanger when you’re not wearing it.

The best wardrobe additions don’t require you to buy anything else to make them work. They make what you already own feel better. This does exactly that.
