Outer wear is both functional, beating the cold and wet weather, and boldly macho in black leather. Recent history has provided the inspiration for jackets this fall and winter. The look is the ever-popular leather. The perforated leather jacket, especially in soft leather with a distressed look offers a really chic look for casual wear when the days are not yet too chilly. Black remains a classy but brown is making a good showing this season, as is a steel grey. Quite different is the very masculine bomber jacket. The inspiration for these jackets comes from the protective clothing worn by pilots during the Second World War when they flew planes that had no protection against the elements. The jackets are very full and end at the waist. The trimmings, such as white or colored trimmings on the shoulders and sleeves, differentiate this season from the traditional jackets. This is a jacket with many zippers so look for one on which the zippers are bold and classy. Another version of the bomber jacket that also presents a very masculine look is the biker jacket that has been popular on the catwalks for this season. Extra large lapels and prominent double rows of large buttons bring the jacket of the old crooners right up to date. Add a fitted waistline that hugs the body and the transformation is complete. This double-breasted jacket is designed to reveal a well-developed body, not hide it under swathes of cloth. Teamed up with a trendy pair of trousers, a sombre-colored jacket is a soft fabric offers a stunning look for a more formal affair. Bright colors and bold plaid sets the scene for an informal occasion. The trench coat continues the theme of masculinity in the look for this fall and winter. Based on the coats worn by men fighting in the trenches during the First World War, these trench coats have a pizzazz not found in thick heavy coats of those times. Manmade fabrics of polyester and nylon have transformed the coat into one that the trendsetter can wear with flair and the double-breasted front adorned with bright, bold buttons offers a stylish jacket for the well-dressed man. The short trench coat with its many belts and buckles offers a dashing look for the dapper man about town. Trench coats have not followed the craze for black. Elegant beige is definitely the only color for the trench coat this season. Designers have signed their jackets with their trimmings. Soft fabrics on the armbands and on the wrist provide a foil to the toughness of the leather. Striped ribbing is also rather trendy, especially in informal settings. Add loads of pockets and your jacket will be a winner this year. Jackets have definitely come out of the closet and are adding class and versatility to your fall and winter wardrobe. Look out for something masculine looking and in leather and you too will be in vogue. Continue – Superdry Gilet Or Superdry Windcheater
