Opt for a trendy model that matches your personality


There are dozens and dozens of jackets for men! Among the essentials of men's wardrobe, the suit jacket is the most formal. It's essential for work outfits, formal events, polished looks and chic outfits. Next come the trendy men's jackets, those which are particularly popular this year. The men's velvet jacket , elegant, original, a bit vintage, it gives a lot of character if it is well combined. The linen jacket is also one of the must-haves for dressing with style in winter, as in summer! Finally, for those who like the casual style, there is the men's safari jacket , the jewel of the catwalks for mid-season. She dresses with elegance while remaining relaxed. The men's denim jacket is also very popular with trendy men.

As for colors, always select timeless neutral shades. You can more easily combine them with your basics. We obviously think of the navy blue suit jacket, the gray men's jacket, the beige jacket, the black one or even the latest one to cause a sensation this year, the terracotta jacket for men ! Some sophisticated prints add something extra to the outfits. This is particularly the case for Prince of Wales, pied de pied and jacquard patterns.

Choose a cut adapted to your body shape


It is by paying attention to cuts adapted to our body shape that we shine with elegance in any outfit. Indeed, if you want to be well dressed in a men's jacket , you will have to start by finding the cut that best suits your figure ! Depending on your build, you will be more or less highlighted in fitted, slim, straight jacket models, etc.

  • For example, if you are thin , you will need to avoid jacket models that are too wide and too long. On the contrary, you should favor fitted or straight jackets and those that are rather short.
  • Do you want to highlight your upper body to appear more muscular ? Opt for a fitted men's jacket!
  • If you are tall , be very careful to choose a jacket that is long enough. The latter should reach the level of the top of your thighs.
  • Also keep in mind the rule of proportion ! If you have a lower body that is narrower than your upper body, focus on your lower body. In other words, choose a jacket without pronounced shoulders, with fine fabric and a fitted cut. Conversely, for A-line silhouettes, choose jackets that will balance your body shape (jackets with shoulder pads, straight cuts, thick fabrics like velvet, wool or tweed).

Some ideas for combinations to wear the men's jacket well


Have you set your sights on a casual jacket? Wear it with raw jeans or chino pants . Under your jacket, wear a t-shirt or shirt depending on the style you want to assert. On your feet, all you have to do is put on your trendy sneakers, dress shoes or even men's boots.

With the suit jacket, it's a little different. We can go for more dressy outfits. The men's suit set to start. It's a safe bet to look good in all circumstances . It can be worn with a shirt and dress shoes or in a more modern style with sneakers and a basic t-shirt.

Jackets with printed patterns, for their part, are perfect for surfing on the dandy chic style. They can be combined with turtleneck sweaters or shirts and suit pants in different colors (but perfectly combined).

Velvet jacket? Don't hesitate to contrast the materials with pants in stretch fabric like chinos. Show off your good taste in fashion with a printed shirt. You can even create a vintage-inspired look if you do it right!
