Winter 2021/22 is marked by four special jackets: the jeans jacket, the pilot jacket with turned collar, the work jacket and the fleece. Find out how to wear pieces for a sharp, warm style.

After the file devoted to the coats that will make your winter 2021, we are now specifically interested in jackets. What a difference? Jackets are actually a subcategory of coats, they are usually shorter and stop at the waist. If you are not fond of long coats, for example because you are getting around on a bicycle, you have come to the right place.

When looking for a jacket, you have to think like an investor and not like a spender. In other words, it is important to make sure you choose the right shearling bomber jacket to avoid having to buy one again the following year. Well chosen, a winter jacket will give a good boost to your style, will turn some heads in the streets and never make you weary. All while providing warmth, resistance to the elements and durability throughout the season.

Here is a selection of men's jackets for this winter that will make sure you are making a good investment.

The jeans jacket

If there is one winter jacket that cannot be accused of favoring style over quality, it is the denim jacket. It will bring an outdoor and raw effect to your style, while guaranteeing good thermal insulation and solid durability.

The jeans jacket has evolved since its appearance in the 1880s, and although it still plays the role of protecting the wearer from the outside elements, today it comes in a more body-hugging fit. As a bonus, it always includes a myriad of pockets. It is perhaps the most timeless jacket in the men's wardrobe, you can be sure that you will still be wearing it decades from now.

To wear a jeans jacket well, keep in mind that a jeans jacket is rather stiff. So if you do decide to wear it in a layering look , be sure to choose a sweater that is not too thick, otherwise you will look completely tucked into your clothes. To go with the jeans jacket, opt instead for a fine cashmere or merino sweater.

The pilot's jacket

When you think of the pilot's jacket, it's often the bomber that comes to mind. But this time, it's a variation that we are going to see: the pilot jacket with turned-up collar (or shearling jacket as the English say). Particularly effective in protecting you from the cold, it gives a slightly military style that will set you apart from the crowd.

Modern variations of this garment are largely inspired by the famous Royal Air Force Irvin Flying Jacket, first produced in the 1930s. Or the G1 jacket worn by members of the US Navy as well as the Marines. during World War II. Concretely, to stay in this movement, keep in mind that you will need a jacket with an turned-up collar, cuffs with strap and a belt at the waist.

Although cut for the skies, the turned-collar pilot jacket is a garment that will acclimatize very well to the contemporary civilian style. It will go very well with dress pants in wool, cotton or jeans. For colors, aim for neutral tones . For example, choose a black or navy blue jacket and go for pants and a black t-shirt. You can also, if the turned-up collar is a particular color, choose jeans or a t-shirt in the same color to create a reminder.

On the cut side, the pilot's jacket is often loose (historically, it was intended to be worn over thick sweaters to protect pilots in their non-insulated cockpits). However, to maintain a silhouette that is not distorted, do not hesitate to choose your jacket one size below.

The work jacket

The work jacket is one of the classic pieces in terms of winter layering. It can be worn either on top of all other clothing (sweater, under-sweater and t-shirt for example), or as an intermediate piece (on a sweater and under a coat for example). Not only does this guarantee you can compose several styles with a single piece, but in addition the work jacket provides a very appreciable utility side with all its pockets.

Initially, the work jacket was designed for a single functional purpose, since it was created for 19th century French workers who needed to carry their tools with them during working hours. For two centuries, the style of the work jacket has not changed much: it keeps its loose and square cut and its multiple pockets. However, while they were designed in a raw and thick cotton, in order to provide maximum resistance, they are now found in finer materials such as wool or nylon.

For those days when you are unsure of the temperature, do not wear a sweater and instead put on a worker jacket and then a longer coat. You will be as warm as if you had put on a sweater, while gaining style thanks to the layering effect. And by the way, you will benefit from many more pockets to store all your gear.
