BELOW ARE THE BEST SPRING JACKETS EVERY GUY MUST HAVE THIS SEASON.
1. DENIM JACKET
A denim jacket is a spring must-have. It is one of the most versatile outerwear pieces you can have. This is why it is ranked first in our list for best spring jackets.
The denim jacket is a timeless style, just like jeans. You also like jeans? Your collection will likely grow over time. There are many styles of denim jackets, from casual styles in light washes to formal styles with a darker rinse.
The perfect fit: The fit of a denim jacket should be just right. There should be enough room to layer a sweater under it, but not more.
Why should you choose a tailored fit? The jacket is casually dressed so you want it to look smart and not too casual.
How to wear it: Contrast is the king. Meaning? Start with black jeans and a jacket if you are worried about the “Canadian Tuxedo” look. Then, go from there. A denim jacket with chinos is a favorite of our team. A denim jacket can be worn as a sport coat by being paired with dress pants, a shirt and tie.
Here is where a slim, clean silhouette is key. It won’t look right if it is too baggy.
2. HARRINGTON JACKET
A Harrington jacket is a spring must-have. Although you may not be familiar with its name, you have most likely seen it. One day, you might own one. For weather that changes rapidly, the Harrington jacket is the ideal outerwear. It’s not too heavy or too fragile.
Ryan O’Neal’s character Rodney Harrington on the 1960s prime-time soap Peyton Place, which was 90210 and precursor-to-Beverly Hills (previous to Peyton Place) gave the style its name. After icons such as James Dean, Elvis Presley and Steve McQueen adopted the outerwear, it has since become a symbol of rebellious cool.
The perfect fit: Harrington jackets are usually made from lightweight materials like cotton, wool, or polyester. The waistband should be at your waist. It should not rest above the waist. You should consider a smaller size if it hangs well below.
For the cuffs, make sure the sleeves end at your wrist and not higher or lower than the elbow.
How to wear it: The Harrington jacket is simple and elegant, but not boring. It’s the perfect addition to any casual or business-casual outfit. It can’t be worn with a suit. But, it can be worn with any other garment in your closet.
3. BOMBER JACKET
A bomber is a spring must-have. We love winter jackets! They can be a little…well, bulky. The de-puffed nylon jacket is the perfect outerwear to protect you from the spring elements and not weigh you down.
The perfect fit: Bombers from the past might have felt and looked more like garbage bags. But the latest bombers are sleeker for a look that’s chic.
Made of lightweight material like nylon or treated cotton, you’ll love the fashion-meets-function duality of the new and improved slim bomber styles.
How to wear it: These new bombers are so easy to pack. If the forecast calls for rain, you can throw one on in the morning. Then, crumple it up and put it in your bag until the skies clear.
4. KNIT BLAZER
A knit blazer is essential for spring. Okay, maybe we are pushing it. We call knit blazers (basically, a structured cardigan), “outerwear.” But! A knit blazer is the perfect spring accessory. It’s lightweight, soft, and wrinkle-resistant.
This piece is a must-have for every man who wants to look professional and comfortable. It’s a casual business environment!
The perfect fit: This modern, unstructured knit jacket is more fitted than the traditional blazer, which allows you to look professional even when worn casually.
How to wear it: A knit blazer can be worn for business or casual wear. But don’t be afraid of mixing things up. On your next date night, or on your next travel day, you can pair yours with jogger pants and denim.
5. LEATHER JACKET
A leather jacket is a must-have for spring. While jacket styles come and go, a leather jacket will last a lifetime. A leather jacket is a great option for those who have a slack coat closet.
The perfect fit: Don’t be afraid if you are picturing The Fonz in your head. Even in a classic silhouette such as the Happy Days’ iconic bomber, a leather jacket is modern and surprisingly polished.
Don’t make it too small or too large. You should choose a size that is close to your body, with enough room to wear a thick sweater underneath. This will allow you to layer as much bulk as necessary.
How to wear it: This jacket is available in classic black. You can either pair it with jeans and a shirt or dress it up by pairing it with trousers, shirt, and tie. This is why you should not be afraid to wear your outerwear staple every day.
