Outerwear — it doesn’t matter which part of the country you live in; this wardrobe staple is something we can utilize while navigating all of the seasons. That includes the start of fall, as crucial a time as any to make sure your outerwear situation is up to snuff. From durable waxed jackets to easy-to-layer denim jackets, the best men’s jackets work just as well atop a T-shirt as they do on your commute with a trusty chambray shirt. And when it’s time to hit the road on a seasonal getaway, your new favorite jacket will surely get the job done.

And that’s what we had in mind when creating this line-up. Don them on your morning walks with the dog or at those Friday night baseball games (COVID test permitting). From your light wash denim to your sleek, squeaky nylon, there are picks in here everyone can get behind.
