This week Saturday Styles spotlights the biker and bomber jackets. 

This fall, Columbia students have thrown their concerns for animal rights to the wind and have embraced the leather bomber/biker jacket. And really how better to fend off the blustery October winds than with a sharply fitted leather jacket?

Both Bwog and our friends over at the decidedly more sartorially-inclined blog  I am Fashion agree: As the October chill settles, eager bomber babes and studs alike have broken out their leather jackets in all styles and shades.  Take a look at what caught Bwog’s eye this week:

 

The Studious Biker: Lots of pockets and heavy metal zippers are downplayed here with a soft scarf.

Another jacket with fanciful labels was spotted outside Barnard. In this look, the heavy metals zippers are accentuated by a bright top.

SIPA student channels the young Marlon Brando.

For an effortless, yet fashion-conscious look pair a tight-fitting leather bomber with black leggings or jeans.

For a softer take on the aforementioned style, try the bomber in a warmer brown hue.
