It’s always an awkward scenario for a lad in the UK when it comes down to choosing an autumn jacket. You either pack something on that’s far too heavy, causing you to sweat like you’ve sat in a sauna for two hours, or you simply under dress and freeze relentlessly, until you cop out to bulking the layers back on. Ultimately, you’re stuck between a rock and hard place, so you end up being either end of the spectrum, but fear not, our fashion fixers have got on board to fix your autumn jacket problem and keep you ready for any British weather that comes.
From this season’s top picks, to cult classics that have been brought through the ages, these stylish jackets we’re about to showcase will leave heads turning on the high street, as well as in the club, so here’s what you should have in your wardrobe…
The Denim Jacket…
Thick enough to keep you warm on a night out and durable enough to let you manoeuvre, the denim jacket is a staple for your autumn collection. Through the years, this number has been made famous through the rock genre, but in current times, has now become readily available in all your favourite high street stores and more. From black, to an acid patched blue, this element is wearable with almost anything and you shouldn’t undermine it until you try it yourself.
The Harrington Jacket…
What a cult classic, the Harrington has really stood the test of time and goes with just about anything you can think of. Not only was this jacket made popular in the mod community back in the day, but the Harrington can now be bought almost anywhere at a cheap price, and what’s more, it comes in an array of colours too. Burgundy, black, navy and red, this jacket can be pulled off as a unisex piece, so if your missus has one, steal hers.
The Parka Jacket…
Every lad has had one of these over the years and the traditional Parka jacket has proven to be an item of the times. With an often sleek and modern style, this piece of fashion gear truly cuts above the rest in it’s all round ability, as it often comes waterproof, with a hood and has a warm inner skin too (perfect for any British Autumn weather). From there on, designers have developed this further and sometimes we can even see it with an artificial fur inside! Cushy!
The Trench Coat…
Okay, so this one is a coat… but it still wears well in an autumn style scenario, more so than it does for winter. Often looking very smart and sophisticated, the trench coat adds a real element of cool intelligence to your bill, and what’s more, people won’t dare to judge you in your Sherlock look-a-like ability. Grab one of these to be the warmest and coolest cat about this autumn.
