A cropped bomber with high-waist pants

3 min read · Leather Jacket Co

A cropped bomber ends near the waist. Paired with high-waist pants, it makes a long line from hip to shoe.

Proportions are the whole trick. Here is how to get them right.

Meet at the waist

The jacket should end at or just above the top of the pants. When they meet, the outfit looks balanced instead of cut in two.

The Women's Cropped Bomber Jacket has a cropped cut with ribbed cuffs, so it ends near the waist.

Keep the top simple

Wear a fitted tee, a thin knit or a tucked-in tank. Anything bulky under a short jacket makes the outline boxy.

Tuck the top in so the waist shows.

Pick the pants and shoes

Straight, wide or tapered high-waist pants all work. Add sneakers or ankle boots.

Cropped means relaxed here, so a loose pant balances nicely.

Sizing and extra outfits

The jacket comes in XS to L with a cropped, loose fit. If you want to layer a thin knit, go up one size. Check the size guide with a tape measure before you order.

Try it with a midi skirt and sneakers, or with a long dress and boots. Keep the top tucked so the waist shows. Add a small bag across the body and keep jewelry simple. The Women's Slim Fit Biker Jacket is another option in the same collection.
