Waterproof Your Wardrobe: Lightweight Jackets For Staying Dry In Style

Unpredictable weather is the biggest hurdle for men when it comes to dressing with confidence. Between work and off-duty to showers and sunshine, we’ve got your backs covered. These four lightweight jackets scream practicality and protection, making them worth investing in.

The Nylon Bomber Jacket

This sporty silhouette is extremely versatile. Simply throw it on over all of your go-to outfits. Pair it with your favorite tailored pants and button down or chinos and a sweatshirt. When picking a style of bomber, the braver the better.

Style Tip: Team bold colors and printed versions with muted, pared-down pieces to anchor your jacket as the focal point of your look.

The Trench Coat

The Trench coat is a sharp alternative to wear over a work suit. It’s a timeless piece that will last a lifetime. When choosing a color, you can’t go wrong with simple neutrals like camel or beige, while bolder shades of blue look cool and contemporary. Style it fully fastened across the waist to flatter your figure or loosely leave it open with the belt behind your back.

Style Tip: Tailored separates are the perfect partners to a trench but don’t be afraid to dress yours down with a pair of dark chinos and a striped tee.

The Anorak

You can throw it on over a blazer and button down just as easily as jeans and a polo. This type of outerwear allows you to really make a statement with color so the brighter the better.

Style Tip: Try this jacket in a bold orange, blue or pastel pink and layer over a white button down shirt and khakis to add a modern twist to a smart-casual combo.
