Shopping Guide: The Best Men's Lightweight Jackets, Part I
Part I of Style Intelligence Report's guide to Men's Lightweight Jackets, brought to you by the request of Mat.
We're splitting up this article into two sections because of the large number of great jackets we saw out there while perusing the racks. In this post, Part I, we present the best Casual jackets. In Part II, we'll bring to you the best in semiformal jacket options. Happy shopping!
The quintessential fall weather jacket, with versions found at BR, Gap, Express, etc. year after year after year. Basic, but functional. The selling point? It works with everything in your wardrobe.
What can we say, we just love the look of bomber jackets on men (and women, for that matter).
What's great about this jacket? The oversized pockets (good for storing your keys, wallet, iPod, cell phone..), the drawstring waistline, the stand collar, and the tailored seamlines.
Track Jackets are the New hoodie, remember? They're great for a sporty, youthful look. Plus, they're comfortable. We like the contrast striping on the arms on this jacket--a nice alternative to the standard across-chest striping.
We love the architectural look of this streamlined motorcycle jacket. The front zipper is slightly offset and the two side pocket zippers are intentionally uneven for a distinctive look. If your style is a little off the mainstream, this jacket is for you!
This jacket feels very 1970s chic, but in a good way. We appreciate the contrast collar, the shoulder yoke, and the color (we heart Green). And hey, quilted jackets are Hot right now.
Classic Americana, and it can be Yours for well under $100! This coat stays true to the original, with the tabbed collar, soft elastic at the cuffs, hem, and chest pocket, side slit pockets, epaulets, and of course, the Members Only logo patch.
