4. Scotch & Soda Silky Bomber ($225)
This sleek jacket with contrasting front panels and embroidery on the sleeves looks great on sunny days but can also help keep away the chill when the temperature plummets on a spring night out. Buy it at Scotch & Soda.
5. Zara Printed Bomber ($70)
Though wearing florals in spring usually won't win you originality points, "floral bombers feel fresh." According to Brown at New York Magazine, Zara's option ($70), which features "a slim, sporty cut" and on-trend contrast sleeves, wants to be left unzipped. Buy it at Zara.
