As the temperature continues to dip, coats and jackets are quickly becoming a non-negotiable when it comes to winter layering. And, lucky for us, one of our favorite outerwear trends to come out of the most recent pre-fall collections just happens to be one that we can all start wearing right now. That's right: We're talking about the forever-sporty, off-duty favorite the bomber jacket.

Reminiscent of military pilot style, this easy piece is perfect for those on-the-go moments. Not to mention that it's a really good way to rock the athleisure trend while still looking pulled together (and decidedly not like you're coming straight from the gym!)

Check out some of our favorite designer styles from pre-fall here, and shop the trend for yourself below.

Tomas Maier styles a jewel-tone satin bomber with a matching A-line skirt for a more dressed-up take on the trend. Swap out your sneakers for heels and this look may even work for a more low-key office.
