Search interest for the bomber jacket took off last spring—rising more than 600 percent, according to studies from Google. Top celebs like Gigi Hadid, Taylor Swift and Kendall Jenner were part of the trendsetting flight crew in 2016, so there’s no question why the pilot-inspired look is jetting into children’s with an explosion of color and textural appeal. “The bomber jacket continues to be one of, if not the must-have item for childrenswear,” reports Erin Rechner, senior kidswear editor at WGSN. “We see this item continue forward with an interest in new materials such as fur, high-pile and sheer alongside updates in silhouettes such as elongated shapes and oversized interpretations.”
