Choosing Men’s Outerwear
Men’s outerwear covers a wide range of garments, from wool coats and lightweight jackets to insulated parkas, down jackets and sleeveless gilets. The collection from BML and Stenströms includes options for business clothing, smart-casual outfits and colder everyday wear.
Coats provide the cleanest option for tailoring and dress trousers, while shorter jackets work well with chinos, jeans and knitwear. Parkas add more coverage and are designed for colder weather, while down jackets focus on insulation in a shorter jacket shape. Gilets provide warmth through the body without sleeves and work well as a light outer layer or beneath a coat.
Material changes both appearance and function. Wool and wool blends give coats and jackets a cleaner look, suede and linen suit more casual styles, and quilted or down-filled pieces add warmth. Choose according to the weather first, then consider length, material and how formal the rest of the outfit needs to be.
