A Casual Jacket For Every Man

One mark of a truly well-dressed man is consistency: whether he’s headed to a black-tie event or a local basketball game, his outfits all look decidedly him. Sadly, this can be a hard thing to accomplish, as it’s not always easy to figure out how to carry your distinct style into every level of dressiness.

Thankfully, we’re to help in at least one category: casual jackets. With our tips, you can figure out the right jacket for your overall style.

Rocker

You spend your weekends at indie shows held in gritty warehouse-like spaces, you’ve been playing the electric guitar since before you could legally drive, and you like to wear your hair long and unshowered. Make sure your jacket’s as legit as you are by picking a beaten-up leather moto a la the Ramones, or gravitate toward a denim one for a Rolling Stones vibe.

Outdoorsy

Nothing makes you happier than a tough mountain climb with your buddies that ends in a glorious view beheld in reverential silence. Be ready for any of the crazy weather that could hit along the way by picking a waterproof jacket with breathable vents, or pick up a down jacket for colder hikes.

Preppy

You’re a fifth-generation Ivy League graduate whose favorite sports include golf, rowing, polo and croquet. The interior decor in your New England house heavily features duck and sailboat motifs, which you enjoy showing off to the friends who come to your many cocktail parties. Choose a jacket that matches your lifestyle by picking up a quilted jacket from an all-American brand, or enjoy a throwback to your college sport days by picking up a varsity jacket.

No matter what kind of guy you are, you can pick a casual jacket that’s perfect for your individual style.

Let your personality guide you to the right casual jacket.
