The Best Winter Jackets You’ll Keep Forever
As the temperature is slowly declining, we’re starting to think a lot about jackets. Because when it comes to winter, you have to move jacket forward: it’s the first thing you clock on someone on the street and it takes up the majority of your winter outfits. From oversized bombers to Gorpcore’s finest, a good winter jacket is essential.
Are you a puffer guy, a chore jacket lad or are you more of a bomber bro? Scroll down to explore the best jackets to buy this winter.
The best
Puffer jackets
Every man needs a puffer jacket for his rotation. It’s the absolute go-to for colder weather. Go for the classic London uniform with a North Face Nuptse puffer, keep it understated with a staple puffer by Uniqlo, or if you want more of a statement jacket pick up this C.P. Company DD-Shell hooded puffer in this grey/blue tone.
The best
Water-resistant jackets
Let’s be honest here, we live in a country with very unpredictable weather. One moment it’s sunny, then boom, rain. So, it’s always good to have a rain jacket in your wardrobe. Uniqlo’s Blocktech range has you covered, literally. Alternatively, if you’re more of a hiker, Snow Peak has been making gear since the ‘50s, so prep yourself for the great outdoors with its trusted nylon jacket.
The best
Bomber jackets
Originally created for pilots during World War II, the bomber jacket has remained a classic menswear piece ever since – it’s remained relevant across every decade, regardless of trends. Needless to say, you’ll wear it forever. Pick up this cult Alpha Industries heritage bomber for a more classic bomber style, or opt for this oversized Weekday one for a more grunge look.
The best
Parkas
Liam Gallagher loves a parka and for good reason: the hooded coat keeps you warm in freezing temperatures and gives you that “Man’s Not Hot” sensibility. Channel your inner Liam with this Patagonia Isthmus parka or pick up this Uniqlo option for a sleeker more low-key vibe.
The best
Chore jackets
An all-year-rounder, the workwear jacket is an enduring staple across seasons, but it’s best layered for the ultimate nonchalant fit. Pair with jeans, corduroys or workwear pants if you want to go full utilitarian-maxxing, and a chunky knit underneath.
