What’s the best thing about winters? Barbecue nights and bonfires? No, that’s the second-best thing, fashion-forward people would agree that the first best thing about the winter season is an opportunity to dress your heart out every day.
There is no such thing as being overdressed when it comes to the colder months.
Winter fashion is all about learning the art of layering. Whether it is wearing your sweatshirt and hoodies over a warmer or a jacket over a t-shirt, one can’t get through winters without layering properly.
And talking about layering, a good jacket never disappoints. However, the world of jackets runs wide, full of different styles and designs. From the cool and casual bomber and blouson jackets to the always-in-style and utilitarian leather ones, there are options aplenty when it comes to jackets for men. So we decided to break the styles down for you.
Here are our top 7 styles of jackets you really, truly need to add to your winter wardrobe:
1. Bomber Jacket
First up on our list is a bomber jacket. What was once worn by only flight crew members of the US Air Force today is a versatile fashion piece worn by athletes, celebrities and us regular people alike.
The front zip closure, ribbed collar, and elasticated waistband and cuffs make the style perfect to keep you insulated in winters, making you look stylish at the same time.
2. Trucker Jacket
Trucker jackets have long been pegged as an iconic element of American fashion. Works perfectly with your workwear, sporty style or a casual hangout number, trucker jackets instantly lend a layer of detail and an oomph factor to any look.
The style has a snug fit and what makes it distinct is its double chest pockets. Adding one in black to your winter wardrobe will provide you with enough styling options to keep your A-game on point this jacket season.
Throw it on a white T-shirt with a quirky graphic print and style it with distressed denims to work that perfect Americana look. Also, a great look for coffee and movie dates.
3. Denim Jacket
The denim jacket is a timelessly cool piece of winter wear for men that’s not only trendy but also durable, something that looks raw and appealing even after a hundred washes.
So, if you don’t already have one, now’s the time to get one. It is an intelligent buy that will come in handy all year round for layer dressing.
While a denim jacket is almost perfect as daytime wear, you can style them with a black henley t-shirt, black chinos and boots to work a solid evening look in colder months.
4. Waterfall Cardigan
They don’t exactly qualify as a jacket but their open-front drape style and drip hemline can make them pass off as one.
A flattering winter wear option, waterfall cardigans are great at keeping you warm and particularly good for people who are a little heavy.
Go for something bright with a flowy front to channel a playful airport look or a date night look.
5. Parka
Next up on our list are Parkas. They are casual jackets that are often stuffed with synthetic fibre or polyester and sometimes feature a fur-lined hood.
Thanks to their double warm lining and relaxed fit, parkas are great at beating extreme cold at bay.
Pair one with jeans and boots for a stylishly casual look.
6. Leather Jacket
Raw, rugged and rebellious are the three words that define a leather jacket vibe. They are timeless and a mood in themselves. Often termed ‘biker jackets’, they are perfect for days when you wanna don a rugged look.
Also, you don’t need a motorcycle to rock this style, just a carefree attitude is good enough to ace an edgy leather jacket look.
7. Puffer Jackets
Puffer jackets have a quilted design with sections that are puffy between the stitching and they also have a lining, all of which is designed to keep you well-insulated even in extreme cold.
Go for something low-key flashy and fashionable to brave through winters in style.
