Men's jackets to pull your outfit together

Unless you live in a very hot climate, you'll need a jacket or two for your wardrobe. There are some jackets that every man should have; a classic tailored blazer is essential for your work wardrobe. For added practicality, choose one in black. This way, you can also wear it to formal events, such as weddings or funerals, without having to buy anything new. Think beyond the blazer, though. There are so many styles of men's jackets, both classic and modern. Play around with colour and details to show off your personal style, and let your jacket become your signature piece.

Get the classic look with timeless jackets for men

If you work in a corporate environment, think about a jacket for the office. These days, matching suits are only necessary for certain professions. Most office workers can mix and match jackets and trousers, creating their own look. You might want to have a couple of jackets, one in a dark colour and one light, so you can pair them with different styles of trousers. If you're not sure about your personal style, or you're wary of trying to make a fashion statement at the office, stick to neutrals. Black is the ultimate classic, but grey and beige are also popular; add simple details like plaid or pinstripes if you wish. Navy can also work but will need a little more care when styling to avoid that school uniform look.

Fun jackets for men to mix it up

There's more to life than the office – so go crazy with men's jackets for streetwear! Bomber jackets are a fun look that let you show off your personality. You can choose a plain colour, maybe with contrasting ribbing, or go for something totally different. A silk bomber with a funky print is a great way for the modern man to rock his own special style. Leather jackets are also popular, and with good reason. There are so many styles of leather jacket for men; choose one with punky metal details like studs and spikes for a harder edge. If you're not into the rock look, you can also get leather jackets with simple, classic styling. Not sure about the colour? Go for black, but don't forget that tan leather jackets look great, too.
