While the icy winter temps, arctic winds and persistent rain are enough to keep us rugged up indoors with a cup of hot cocoa all season long, braving the outdoors whether it be for work or the sake of our social lives, is inevitable.
So, when we do decide to step out, layering up—stylishly, of course—is essential, starting with a chic jacket.
Arguably more comfortable and versatile than the classic coat, a great jacket can take you from brunch to the bar effortlessly.
If you’re looking to invest in the staple piece, there are a few key iterations that have been dominating the wardrobes of the style set this year that you should know about.
Bomber and aviator styles have become the jacket du jour for off-duty models as well as sharp-shouldered ’80s silhouettes.
Our obsession with the oversized shirt has seen the rise of the shacket—a hybrid between shirt and jacket—and the cosy, comfort of the quilted puffer still reigns supreme.
Now in winter’s icy grip, we’re looking to stock up on every style, and have rounded up the best buys of the season, below.
