The Mens Outerwear Dilemna
Its easy to find great jeans and great shirts, but sometimes, especially in the wet, west coast climate, you have to wear a jacket… and this is often difficult to blend with some seriously distressed looking clothing like Affliction and somewhat destroyed jeans. Does a wool/cashmere blended jacket go with your Christian Audigier shirt? Maybe. Does it go with your Affliction twofer? Not likely. So what do you wear? Another Affliction Leather Jacket? An Ed Hardy Hoodie? Maybe.
The Jacket/Outerwear has always been a challenge with certain types of clothing. Why doesn’t Don Ed Hardy make jackets? Why doesn’t Christian Audigier make jackets? Affliction only makes like one jacket (and some blazers). I can’t wear a hoodie everywhere. Of all the brands out there, my favourites for outwear would be Energie, Diesel, Guess and RW & Co. Leather also works really well with a lot of stuff. A Simple black Leather jacket is very versatile, with a somewhat distressed Leather good a a second purchase.
Here are some black jackets to check out that might go well with your gear.. as well all know, black is perfect for those colder winter evenings:
Above Jacket from Guess
Above Jacket by Diesel – Wortice Jacket Available at Revolveclothing.com
Above Jacket by Energie – Available at Revolveclothing.com
For a little less black, here are some non-black offerings that I think are quite nice:
Above Freshjive Militia Denim Jacket – Available at rock-rebel.com
Above Elk Lake Jacket from Abercrombie & Fitch (I guess this one is actually black too!)
Faux Shearling Coat from Armani Exchange (looks better in person)
Those are just some of my suggestions 🙂 Hope you guys enjoy ’em!
