Ralph Lauren's preppy cotton windbreaker has enjoyed a serious resurgence these past few months, becoming an ever-present favourite amongst celebs and Instagram fashionistas alike.
While Ralph might be having another moment in the sun, being recently favoured by the likes of Colman Domingo and Dua Lipa, it's always good to share the love.
So, with that said, we've picked out a few alternative jackets, ones that still tick the lightweight, simple-to-style box, and thrown together a few ideas on how to complete the look with each.
When we think of that timeless workwear aesthetic, the Carhartt Detroit jacket is always one of the first pieces that comes to mind. Hard-wearing and effortlessly good-looking with just about any outfit, it's a bonafied classic. Lean into it with double-denim, a vintage striped tee, and a pair of New Balance for a rugged everyday get-up that looks as good as it lasts.

For a more eye-catching alternative, the Timberland 'Surf the Web' canvas coach jacket adds just the right pop of colour, and acts as the perfect contrasting layer to a neutral base of crisp cream and white, all finished off nicely with adidas' staple Samba.

If you're after a little more protection from the elements in these awkward early-autumn temperatures, Barbour's Re-Engineered showerproof jacket is a great transitional piece that taps into the perpetually in-vogue 90s terrace style, and looks lovely with a pair of Clarks' equally enduring Wallabees.
