Jackets are absolute essentials for the winter months. There are many ways to style jackets in those cold months and make some stylish outfits with layering. A jacket, whatever type it may be, can be worn in the fall and winter but it isn’t the case in the hot spring and summer months.
When it comes to style, wearing a jacket in the spring and summertime is not as cool as wearing them in the colder months. Not all types of jackets are wearable in these hot months. But there might be times when have to wear a jacket or you just feel like wearing one or maybe it’s a cloudy/rainy evening.
A jacket is a stylish menswear piece and as a style guy, you can get these hot weather appropriate jackets –
Windbreaker jacket
Windbreaker/windcheater jackets were popular back in the 80s and 90s. With the retro wave still going on in the menswear industry, a windbreaker is a good pick up for 2022. Windbreakers are mostly made of polyester and hence are lightweight and appropriate for spring and summer. You can also wear it later in the colder months and layer it over other clothing pieces.
A windcheater jacket is a very stylish piece of clothing. You can find them, the vintage windcheaters, in thrift stores. Many fashion brands are still making retro-inspired windbreakers if you want to get a new one.
To look more trendy, you can get a gorpcore jacket, like a modern hiking/rainwear jacket. Styles like these are getting popular and these pieces are perfect for your streetwear outfits.
Denim Trucker Jacket
If there’s an all-year-around jacket that looks good and works well in all the seasons- it’s the Denim jacket. A traditional denim trucker jacket is a stylish casual piece. People have also started wearing it in smart ways now.
If you are a teen and getting your first denim jacket, consider getting one in light blue color. You can try other colors like dark blue, Indigo, or faded black if you are an adult. When going denim on denim outfits, make sure there is enough contrast between the color of the jeans and jacket or they have almost the same color.
Lightweight Bomber Jacket
A bomber jacket is a no-brainer stylish piece that you need in your wardrobe(if you don’t already have one). Lightweight bomber jackets were very popular in the last decade. Other than being stylish, they are all-year-round jackets.
A nylon or polyester blend bomber can be found cheap and you can wear it in the spring and summer seasons for a laid back relaxed look. In the colder months, you can layer it with flannels, sweaters, and hoodies. If buying your first Bomber jacket, go with colors like black, light green, grey, or beige.
Varsity/baseball Jacket
The fancier version of a Bomber jacket is a varsity jacket. Both of these jackets have the same shape but a varsity jacket has a button opening instead of a chain that a bomber has. Unlike the bomber jacket, varsity or baseball jackets have designs, logos, and more colors.
Varsity style is a big trend right now, in fact, one of the biggest menswear trends for 2022. They are stylish, can be worn oversized, and go with both denim and chinos.
Jacket vest
Sleeveless fashion is very trendy right now and it was a big thing on fashion runways for fall and winter 2021-2022. The modern jacket vests are some of the coolest clothing pieces for your streetwear looks. They look futuristic and have extra functional pockets. If you’re into streetstyle, it is the best option this year. Even a simple puffer vest could be an amazing pick-up if you’re not into streetwear.
Jacket vests are sleeveless, so significantly cooler than the full sleeve jackets and spring is the right time to get one. You can wear it with a flannel shirt underneath, distressed jeans, and some chunky sneakers.
