Women's Lightweight Zip-Up Short Bomber Jacket Drawstring Waist is your go-to choice for cool summer evenings and breezy transitional days. This cropped bomber features a stand collar, full zip closure, drawstring-cinched waist, and flap cargo pockets, making it a versatile layering piece for women who want casual style without sacrificing practicality.

Why You'll Love It

  • Drawstring Waist: An adjustable drawstring at the waist lets you define your silhouette and get a flattering, customized fit every time.
  • Cargo-Style Flap Pockets: Two roomy flap pockets at the hip keep your phone, keys, and essentials secure and close at hand.
  • Versatile Short Cut: The cropped length pairs effortlessly over tees, tanks, or lightweight sweaters, working across casual and smart-casual looks alike.

Perfect For

Layer it over a white tee and jeans for weekend errands, or wear it over a sundress on a cool summer evening. It transitions easily into fall paired with a chunky knit sweater underneath, and works just as well on a city walk or a casual coffee date.

Care Instructions

  • Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle.
  • Do not bleach.
  • Tumble dry low or hang to air-dry.

A community built on style and comfort

Some of the things I will miss most are the little moments I never thought to photograph. An ordinary morning with my daughter, a conversation while unpacking a delivery, or looking up to find Claire holding something she knew I would love. Those moments became part of our everyday life, and they are what I will miss most about Helen & Claire.

Sharing this boutique with my daughter has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. We brought different perspectives, but we always shared the same wish: to help women find clothes that feel comfortable, flattering, and beautiful in their everyday lives.

I always cared about how a piece felt, while Claire had an eye for the little details that made something special. Together, we chose collections for real women and real moments — lunch with an old friend, a family gathering, or a quiet afternoon wrapped in a soft cardigan.

Now, after many conversations, we have reached a decision that has taken time to accept. I am ready to retire and enjoy quieter mornings, fewer responsibilities, and more freedom. Claire is ready for a new chapter too, with more time for her family and the people she loves.

So Helen & Claire is coming to an end, and as we prepare to say goodbye, we are holding our final clearance sale with up to 60% off.

Every piece was chosen with care, with real women and their everyday lives in mind.

If you find something that makes you stop and think, “Oh, I love this…”

Trust that feeling.

We hope it brings you comfort and happiness for years to come. Thank you for being part of our story, and for making Helen & Claire so special.

With love,

Helen & Claire
Edenton, North Carolina
