Failing to prepare is preparing <\/strong>to fail and this has never been truer for men than when accounting for the unpredictable British weather. In equal measures, we can be graced with glorious sunshine and a downpour of rain in a mere few hours. Key to combating this is making sure you invest in a trusted transitional jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A transitional jacket is versatile, functional and a key purchase for these mixed-up days. It will take from summer to autumn without breaking a sweat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What To Look For In A Transitional Jacket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gone are the balmy summer days, where thoughts of jackets are quickly dismissed. In autumn, the sun does still make an appearance, but so does rain and biting wind. Accessories like umbrellas are out in force and footwear becomes more utilitarian to add stability and incorporate rain-repellent properties. Likewise, with your outer garments, coats and jackets need to be multi-purpose, able to be relied on throughout the day no matter the weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some key things to look for when buying a new transitional jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waterproof<\/strong> - Your suede jacket from summer is not going to cut it. A jacket needs to be able to wick away heavy rainwater, keeping whatever you are wearing beneath it nice and dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lightweight<\/strong> - As quickly as the rain appears so can the sun. Flexibility in easily wearing or removing your jacket comes from it being lightweight. Too thick and it will be cumbersome to carry and continuing to wear it might leave you sweating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colour<\/strong> - Muted tones come to the fore as we move towards winter. Pack away the pastels and opt for colours that represent the changing seasons. That means deeper browns, greens, reds and even burnt orange. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Styles of Transitional Jacket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike in winter where you want to be wrapped up as snug as possible when you step out the door, in autumn you have more options. The big, overbearing winter coats can be put to one side for now, because if you nail your layering, then there are plenty more autumnal jackets to choose from. For example, a denim jacket in isolation might seem too summery but layered over a knit, can be a great choice for autumn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some of the styles to consider when looking for a transitional jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Denim Jacket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned before the denim jacket, built from a robust material, can easily see you through days where there is a chill in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its simplest form, the denim jacket has rarely not been worn by the world's most stylish men since the 80s. Denim is a sturdy material that means it will protect against the wind and its simple design enables it to transcend seasons both weather and fashion-wise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a neat, slightly cropped silhouette it is easy to be worn over thick cable knit jumpers or a thinner merino wool alternative. Remove the jumper and partner with a statement tee for a relaxed masculine approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the colder months, we recommend seeking out denim jackets that are either padded or have shearling collars. If you opt for a classic version then you can extend its use further by using it as a statement layer under an overcoat for the deeper depths of winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
