You Need A Lightweight Jacket

As a guy, whether you care to admit it or not, you’re always on the lookout for clothing that balances minimal effort with the maximum impact. Something that’ll still rake in the compliments but can be used as an everyday layering option, without being in any way impractical. Simplicity and function, without compromising on style.

They’re easy to get in and out of at a moment's notice, so you can adapt to the temperature changes that come from moving from inside to out, or when a once-sunny day turns into a mad dash through rain.
