How to choose?
Modern men's demi-season jackets should be not only functional, durable and comfortable, but also elegant - so as to fit and harmoniously combine with the rest of the wardrobe.
When choosing the right model, there are important factors to consider.
When trying on, evaluate the fit of the garment. To do this, raise your hands up and see how the jacket behaves in this case. If it hinders movement and there is a feeling that the material is about to disperse at the seams, then it is better to refuse the purchase.
Be sure to see how the jacket looks from the back - it shouldn't wrinkle.
Any clothing for autumn and spring should be non-brand, it is optimal to purchase it in dark shades or in gray tones. Khaki is very good at this time of year.
Think about whether you need a hood - this is a very practical solution that will save you in case of unexpected rain, and it will also protect your neck from the cold wind.
If you spend a lot of time outdoors, you should pay attention to the elongated options - up to mid-thigh.
Wool and cotton jackets look very impressive, but in the rain they will not be very practical. You can have such clothes in your wardrobe, but wear them only in warm and dry weather. In any case, you cannot do without a waterproof jacket; polyester and nylon provide the best protection from the rain.
Be sure to ask about the presence of a padding polyester, in the overwhelming majority of Russian regions, such insulation will not be superfluous.
Rate the quality of the seams - they first of all indicate that this is a "factory" product. This is especially true if you make a purchase in a shopping arcade in the market or in a little-known store.
Tip: If you are not an inveterate fashionista who easily understands all the intricacies of seasonal collections, then you should take a closer look at the sale items. Any jacket purchased in the summer or after New Year's discounts will cost several times cheaper than those that appear in stores with the onset of the off-season.
What to wear with?
Men can wear demi-season jackets with almost anything. For casual urban lovers, leather aviators and bomber jackets are suitable - they are worn with T-shirts in warm weather or combined with sweaters in cold weather.
