7 STYLISH WINTER-READY MEN’S JACKETS
OUTERWEAR DEVELOPED TO STAND UP TO WIND, RAIN, HAIL AND SNOW
Written by Menswear Style in Essentials on the 28th November 2018
There are countless life lessons that will steer a style-savvy urban navigator successfully through the winter months. Simple things like not leaving home with wet hair, investing in decent gloves, packing a brolly on those days when even the weather girl can’t decide. But, without doubt the most important rule in surviving the chillier climes is ensuring your winter jacket purchase will pass muster. If you think the denim trucker or sporty bomber you bought back in June will stand up to a Force 10, then think again. For a winter warrior developed to stand up to wind, rain, hail and snow, you’re likely to need some tech-led protection.
But don’t forget that your commute is your daily catwalk and you don’t want to miss out on any opportunity to make an impression on the platform. It’s quite an art to find a jacket that will seamlessly work with a number of looks. Whether you’re going smart or slouchy, this will probably be the most expensive item in your wardrobe, so make your well-earned wages count with our selection of stylish outerwear treats.
Nobis Dylan Bomber Jacket
First up we’re going full Action Man. It’s no secret that camouflage is a huge autumn/winter trend - one we are very happy to see - and long may it continue. With khaki, sage and olive greens being an all-out winning combination, this camo down jacket by Nobis will fit into your wardrobe so effortlessly, no honestly. They just won’t see you coming.
K-Way Le Vrai Leon 3.0

The K-Way original pac-a-mac will save your bacon. The lightweight design means it can be easily packed away in your rucksack or messenger to save you from turning up to work all sad and soggy.
Edmund Hillary Summit
With the design cues taken from the 1953 Everest Expedition, expectations around this collection are high, and the Hillary collection triumphs.
