The Must-have Casual Jackets for Every Man

Men’s clothing options are still pretty limited compared to that of women. You’ve got the same t-shirts, jeans, shirts, and trousers for every occasion. With the lack of variety, men always have to resort to ways to make their outfit stand out. And one of the best ways to do it is by throwing on a jacket.

Men’s casual jackets come in over twenty different types. They are cool, come in different colours, and often have fun prints on them. Be it a date, a movie with friends, or a family trip, a casual jacket can jazz up any outfit for any occasion instantly.

Here are the top seven casual jackets that you must include in your wardrobe…

Denim jacket

Perhaps the most popular among men’s casual jackets, a denim jacket is versatile, comfortable, and totally fashionable for all seasons. Wear it with jeans, with an Oxford shirt, or even with a pair of trousers, it can elevate any look effortlessly. Go for a jacket in a dark or medium wash, that looks classy and pairs well with your regular jeans.

Varsity jacket

The world was once crazy about the varsity jacket, with logos ranging from the cool to the ridiculous. Even though the popularity has faded a lot down the years, the varsity jacket is still one of the best known casual jackets for men. It does lack versatility because you can only wear it with denims and a tee.

Leather jacket

Which guy hasn’t fancied a biker jacket in his lifetime? It is probably the coolest jacket around, and can make you look super chic if worn right. Make sure it fits you perfectly, and go for a sober colour like black or tan if you’re not ready for something bold or offbeat. Pair with a plain tee, and accessorize with boots and shades.

Blouson

A very basic style, a blouson is a short jacket with an insulated inside, given that it originated in the UK. The best thing about a blouson is that it can be worn to both casual occasions and to work. Available in a huge variety of colours, it is best to keep the blouson in a muted hue, because it makes the jacket fit to be worn to all kinds of occasions.

Bomber jacket

The bomber (or flight jacket) is ideal for the colder months when you need something that keeps you warm while making you look great. Usually in leather with insulation on the insides, the bomber jacket is available in different colours and designs, and is best paired with slim-fit jeans and a plain T-shirt.

Trenchcoat

Classic, stylish, and timeless, the trenchcoat has not only stood the test of time but has also evolved to be one of the classiest casual outerwear options for men. The best thing about a trenchcoat is that it can be worn for both formal and casual occasions. You could wear it to office with a suit and you could also wear it to a movie with your regular jeans and shirt. Keep it all buttoned up or leave it unbuttoned, the trenchcoat will see you through most occasions.
