The Frankie Shop knows a thing or two about creating a cult wardrobe item. The brand was started in New York’s Lower East Side in 2014 by a Parisian founder (a power combo of cool to say the least), and pretty much went viral from day one with its minimalist yet confident aesthetic. From the ubiquitous quilted jacket that’s become a firm capsule staple to the instantly recognisable slouchy tailoring, we’ve come to expect great things from The Frankie Shop with each new season. For some brands, that pressure could be a curse, but not this one. The pieces just keep getting better and better without fail.
One of the most successful capsule wardrobe pieces the brand has put its stamp on is the humble bomber jacket. Coming in classic black and a khaki green, The Astra Shell Jacket is a piece I personally invested in a couple of seasons ago, and I've barely taken it off since. The oversized fit makes for a cool twist on a classic, and the high shine material I've found to be very weather-proof, making it an absolute hero of mine during these in-between seasons. This isn't a new Frankie Shop piece, in fact it's been a couple of years since its first release, but the bomber is set to be huge news again for spring 2025 and so you bet I'm pulling mine out once again.
Sarah proves how good it looks with basics such as blue jeans and white kicks.
It's not only me that loves the Astra jacket. I've seen a tonne of fashion’s coolest people sporting their Astra bombers (see below for outfit inspo). So, if you’ve been searching for that perfect jacket to take with you into spring, look no further.
