Men's summer windbreakers: how to choose and what to wear?

One of the most practical and versatile things in a men's wardrobe is a windbreaker. This garment is associated with versatility and practicality. Summer windbreakers have a special charm. A lightweight, comfortable thing without lining is relevant in the warm season.

Stylish men's windbreakers amaze with a variety of models. Summer products include products made of "breathing" material - linen, cotton. This outer garment protects well from the wind. Lightweight jackets are relevant for an evening walk, as well as going out into the countryside or playing sports.

Historically, the first jackets appeared among sailors. The main material for their manufacture was sail fabric. Such windbreakers perfectly protected from the wind and drops of sea water. As a rule, the model was characterized by a free cut, had large roomy pockets and a hood. A little later, this piece of outerwear became the main thing of French fashionistas. The style has remained the same, but the colors have become more saturated.

A wide range of different models is presented on the modern market. Today, classic summer windbreakers from Turkey are very popular among men. These are lightweight, weightless products made of natural materials that perfectly protect from the wind, while allowing the skin to "breathe". Outerwear made in China, America and Russia are no less popular.

This thing can be matched to any type of figure, hiding flaws and emphasizing advantages. The most common are the following models.

• Safari. Fashionable and popular among men of all ages. Has a slightly fitted cut with a classic collar. Suitable for tall slender men. The main shades of safari windbreakers include: chocolate, beige and khaki.

• Military. Suitable for brutal, stocky representatives of the strong half of humanity. Military style windbreakers are practical and versatile. A similar thing is suitable for a long hike or camping trip. Products, as a rule, are made of dense, monochromatic fabric of "khaki" color.

• Norfolk. A comfortable product made like a jacket. The length of this windbreaker is up to mid-thigh. Models differ in straight cut and are relevant for obese men. The stand-up collar will become a fashionable "touch" for the overall look.

• Spancer. Lightweight, weightless youth option. As a rule, the windbreaker has a shortened length and is fastened with buttons. There are models with a hood. Usually spancer windbreakers have bright and rich colors. Suitable for skinny guys who love travel and extreme recreation.

• Trench coat. An elegant option that is relevant for almost all men. It is a raincoat (double-breasted) made of dense fabric. There are flared and fitted models. Some kits have a belt with which it turns out to emphasize the waist.

• Pea jacket. This model resembles a jacket, but has a peculiarity. This is an English collar. The style is suitable for athletic guys with a strong build. Relevant for everyday wear and business meeting.

As for the shades of summer jackets, the colors should be bright and juicy. However, men still prefer versatile, dark tones.For example, a gray-blue color would be the best option. It is associated with a clear sky, without being defiant. Soft purple and sandy windbreakers are also relevant. When talking about drawings and patterns, stylists recommend avoiding prints that are too large. The best option would be "striped" windbreakers.

The days when windbreakers were sewn exclusively from sail fabric are long gone. Today, products are made from the following materials.

• Cotton. Ideal for the summer season. The material perfectly protects from the wind, while allowing the skin to breathe. Cotton windbreakers are durable. The products retain their presentable appearance for a long time and do not deteriorate as a result of regular washing. There are models made of cotton with an admixture of synthetics.

• Linen. Natural material that does not cause allergic reactions and discomfort. It protects in inclement weather without creating a "greenhouse effect". The only drawback of flax is that it crumples quickly. Be prepared for the thing to look a little wrinkled.

• Synthetics. A fairly cheap and durable material, polyester is often used to make lightweight windbreakers. However, such a product will not allow the skin to breathe and may cause an allergic reaction. Synthetic windbreakers in bright shades can fade and leave streaks where they touch your skin.

• Jeans. Denim windbreakers are durable and presentable. An excellent option for lovers of an active lifestyle. Denim jackets do not require careful maintenance and are distinguished by an affordable price.

Summer windbreakers are often combined with bright T-shirts and shirts, decorated with an original print. As for the trousers, then this piece of outerwear is in perfect harmony with light chinos, jeans and even shorts. Shoes in combination with windbreakers should be closed. Don't forget about hats. Stylists approve of the "synthesis" of a windbreaker with a baseball cap or hat made of lightweight fabric. The presence of dark glasses in combination with a light jacket is no less important.
