Let’s dive into Outfit 4!

Here’s What You’ll Need:

Printed Bomber Jacket
This piece is the standout, trendy item of the collection. It adds a bit of flair to the overall look. If bold prints aren’t your thing, choose a more neutral-colored jacket. A shorter jacket is ideal because it’s easier to layer and pairs well with skirts.

White Blouse
A white blouse or top is incredibly versatile—it’s great on its own or as a base layer. Whether you prefer a collar or not is up to you. Choose a top that layers well but can also hold its own as a standalone piece.

Denim Skirt
A denim skirt is perfect for a relaxed, casual vibe but can be dressed up or down. Look for one that’s made of thin, stretchy denim for maximum comfort.

How I Styled My Outfit:
There are plenty of ways to style your bomber jacket with a denim skirt. You could wear your shirt over the skirt for the most casual look. Another option is to tuck in the top and leave the jacket open. For a fun twist, try a contrasting belt. Personally, I like how a striped belt works with the jacket, so that’s my go-to style. I also like the jacket closed-up, showing the belt.

I decided to highlight the contrasting colors in my jacket by choosing red accessories. But if you think the jacket itself is already bold enough, neutral accessories will complement well too.
