Jackets That You Need To Buy Ready For Winter
There are only a few more months before winter arrives and we need our big. Meaning it is time to get out the big coat and the rest of the winter clothes that you need. There is a range of jackets that you can choose from when it comes to winter to upgrade your style. It is time to change your summer/ autumn clothes in your wardrobe and get those thicker materials.
Technical Rain Jacket
Technical rain jackets are a must-have during the winter season. They can also be worn all year round but you will feel the benefit during winter. There will be a lot of rain during the darker days as well as snow. The last jacket that you want to be wearing isn’t waterproof. Although they are not that thick, they will do the job of keeping you dry. A tip for wearing a technical jacket is to make sure that you have plenty of layers.
You must choose the right material. Gore-tex is the recommended material because not only is it waterproof but it is also windproof and breathable. Gore-Tex is on the more expensive side but it is worth every penny.
Fleece
Fleece is very much in fashion for menswear at the minute. They are great for keeping you warm on the coldest of nights when it is dry. They were out of fashion a few years ago and only hikers wore them. However, it seems to be common streetwear fashion now. A couple of brands that design great jackets for the winter months would be Patagonia and Carhartt. It is the perfect jacket for keeping you warm.
Something else to add about fleece jackets is that they can be often found in vintage stores. Making it an affordable purchase for yourself. There are plenty of designer men’s fashion brands to choose from because of their demand at the moment.
Lightweight Jackets
Lightweight jackets are more appropriate for public transport. Transport can get busy during rush hour meaning it can be very warm. If your commute to work on public transport is long and always busy, you won’t want to be wearing a thick coat. You will want to make sure that you have a jacket that not only does the job of protecting you from the wind and the rain but is also easy to carry around with you.
Again, with it being lightweight, you want to make sure that you have enough layers to keep you warm. Sadly, a lightweight jacket won’t protect you against the coldest of temperatures. Make sure that you aim for a jacket that has a GSM between 550 and 700.
Parka Coat
Parka jackets are very much in fashion and have been for several years. Some of the coolest celebrities out there such as Liam Gallagher have carried this style for several years. It also levels up a man’s style. They are the perfect jacket when it comes to this time of year.
Make sure to get one with a hood as there will be plenty of snow and rain during the colder months. You can also get a puffer jacket in the style of a parka. A parka coat is a simple and stylish style that every man can rock.
Overshirts
Overshirts are an easy go-to jacket for the winter months. You can layer this up with a hoodie underneath the jacket. The overshirt is more appropriate for drinking in bars because you won’t want a big coat then. Furthermore, They can be worn all year round although we suggest that you do not wear them in the summer months. There are different types of overshirts that you can wear. Make sure that you get an overshirt that is heavyweight and will keep you warm.
For an overshirt, the hem should drop down just past the hip and the sleeves shouldn’t go past your wrist. Overshirts can either be with zipping or they can be with buttons. There are multiple fashion brands that make over shirts and some can be quite costly. However, online stores such as Boohoo and ASOS. Overshirts will need to be quite a large fit as well, try and go for the next size up if you are looking to purchase an overshirt.
To Conclude
There are many different types of jackets to choose from when it comes to the winter months. Nonetheless, some are far more important than others. If you want a stylish jacket that is quite heavyweight but keeps you warm, you will want a parka jacket.
If you are going to be wearing a jacket indoors then more often than not, you will want a fleece. If you work in an office then the most suitable jacket for this would be a bomber jacket. Just remember when wearing a thin jacket like this, you need to layer up underneath, time to put away your full tracksuit and get prepared for the winter months.
