With fall around the corner, temperatures cooling down, and leaves starting to turn that sunset orange, it is time to open up our closets, push our summer clothes aside, and dust off the jackets banished to the back of our wardrobes.
If you live in a place that experiences all four seasons, you know that as the year progresses your wardrobe takes on a seasonal shuffle where the sleeves on your shirts and the legs on your pants get shorter and then as the year goes on, they get longer.
We just passed Labor Day, the traditional Monday off that usually indicates the end of summer and the beginning of fall. The weather will begin to get cooler as we go through September and get into October. A drop in temperature will lead to more layers but too many will just be uncomfortable. Save that winter coat for December and throw on a jacket this fall.
Assessing your autumn attire might lead you to realize that your jackets are looking old or you might be missing something from your weekly rotation. Perhaps it is time to get that rain jacket that you tried on three different times last year but never could put it in your cart. Or maybe shirt jackets have been catching your eye lately. Whatever the style may be, there are a lot of options on the men’s jacket market and to make that search a bit easier we have pulled together 10 jacket choices that will get you excited for the cooler weather.
