9 JACKETS EVERY MAN NEEDS
Coat season can be overwhelming, with what seems like an infinite number of styles and materials, it's hard to know what the right fit is for you, for the weather, or for the events you might be attending over the season. To make things easy, we've rounded up the 9 best coats that every man needs this autumn. From leather jackets to trenches and quilted jackets, here's everything you need to see autumn through in style.
1. The Leather Jacket
If you're in the market for laidback autumn style, let us introduce you to your new best friend: the biker jacket. When it comes to leather jackets, All Saints are seasoned professionals and their Milo Biker jacket, in a clean, minimal style with just a little detailing, is a wardrobe must-have.
2. Denim Jacket
A denim jacket has been a wardrobe staple for decades, and it just got an upgrade. Allow us to introduce you to the Padded Jacket from Calvin Klein Jeans. The perfect transitional piece, it's an easy, laidback choice that'll make dressing for weekends in autumn easy.
3. The Rain Coat
When it comes to autumn dressing, sometimes simplicity - and practicality - is key, and that’s where the C.P. Company’s Metroshell Hooded Jacket comes in. It's an easy piece to throw on and weatherproof your autumn looks - a must with the famously unpredictable British weather.
4. The Puffer Jacket
A North Face puffer jacket truly needs no introduction. As practical as it is popular, the Diablo Down Jacket is clean and simple, insulated with 700-fill Grey Goose Down, it’s ideal for the time of year when a chill starts to enter the air. An added bonus? It goes with everything.
5. The Gilet
A transitional staple, a good gilet is a must-have for styling out that tricky in-between weather the UK is so famous for. And Lacoste’s Core Gilet is a firm favourite this year. In a thick, quilted fabrication and two-toned neutral colourway, it’ll go with everything in your wardrobe.
6. The Wax Jacket
A waxed jacket from Barbour is one of our favourite outerwear pieces year in and year out. Classic and timeless, it's guaranteed to become a staple piece in your wardrobe and see you through many wet winters and blustery autumns. Perfect for weekends spent in the country.
7. The Overshirt
The trick to mastering smart/casual dressing? A good overshirt. A must-have staple for autumn, it'll make dressing up - and dressing down - a whole lot easier. Throw over t-shirts when the weather starts to cool and use a warm layering piece in the depths of winter.
8. The Quilted Jacket
This autumn, practicality doesn’t mean compromising on style, with the Barbour Hooded Liddesdale Quilted Jacket. Inspired by the iconic Liddesdale jacket from the brand, it’s been given an update with a hood and box quilting so you can tackle the elements in style.
9. The Trench Coat
Timeless and seasonless, there’s never been a better time to add a tench coat to your wardrobe. Simple, sleek and a Lacoste trench is a simple statement that'll fit seamlessly into your wardrobe.
