The Best Outerwear

for Transitional Weather

Spring is infamous for its unpredictable and, at times, erratic weather. A warm sunny morning can turn into a grey, chilly afternoon or a torrential, stormy night—and vice versa. So a man needs a couple of great jackets that can handle the fluctuating forecasts. From a fully waterproof mac rain jacket and a wind-resistant parka to such casual staples as a layer-able denim jacket or the recently revived coach's jacket. Herewith, some of the best options for taking cover.

 

How to Wear It

These lightweight jackets are ideal for layering. Wear the denim jacket under a more technical jacket (or even a blazer) to add some insulation that can be peeled off if the mercury rises.
