jacket advice college student
Which single jacket/outerwear should I get for styling lots of outfits? I currently have a super thick blue puffer for winters and a light puffer (brown) for normal cold, one jean/sherpa jacket, one dark red bomber and one brown varsity

How does this tickle your fancy
I was actually thinking abt this one
Would it go with sweaters and hoodies
Yeah
Or just tees
All of the above
I’ve got a carhartt jacket in a similar cut that I layer with all of that stuff
Even like joggers and chunky shoes too?
seconding an eisenhower or carhartt detroit
I thought workwear is more jeans boot style
hooded or nonhooded
Standby
Just bc it’s a workwear jacket doesn’t mean it needs to be paired with other workwear stuff
Just think of it as a black jacket
One more with a hoodie
I feel like the carhatt is a bit too work ish for me
Yeah I just don’t have a dickies so I can’t provide reference photos of that haha
If you’re not sure about it I’m sure there’s inspo on Pinterest
Yeah
Idk I thought id dig the workwear trend but something doesnt add up to me
Like I wouldnt naturally pull it off or smth
The Dickies Eisenhower, though technically a workwear jacket, is just a normal zip up blouson. Like, there isn’t anything about it that’s particularly workwear so I wouldn’t worry about that
Also it’d be easy to pull off with anything you mentioned or can think of (cept for a suit?) but that’s more of a personal psychological thing I guess lol
Hmm ill take a look at it
Is there anything a lil thicker
Or would it go well with soft/cozy outfits as well
Cause i totally forgot i already have a lighter colored shacket lol it's pretty similar thickness wise
I wouldn't consider this to be a shacket
Yeah but it's still pretty flat/raincoat material ish isnt it
nah I think it's thicker than you think
https://www.zara.com/us/en/wool-blend-jacket-p09621448.html?v1=321501682
I liked this one for example
Like a bit softer/not as technical
But this one idk if its worth the price
@Char ඞ is this one worth it
i wouldn't buy the first one
i would buy the $30 if you were looking for that
but it says sold out for me
Yeah sold out
the original isn't worth that much esp since its a poly blend on a simple design you can find elsewhere for similar money
Whats the jacket style called tho
Cause its not a shacket
And wool jacket brings up peacoats and stuff
i'm bad with names
how warm of a jacket are you looking for exactly?
wool blouson?
Ben Sherman
Wool Blend Blouson Jacket
This wool blend jacket with double entry pockets. This style features, rubber coated snap buttons and a branded 'Ben Sherman' flag label applied to the pocket.
Not warm but like cozy looking lol
Or idk if this is even the style i should go for lmao
Like something to throw on top on hoodies and sweaters doesnt have to be blouson
Just not a puffer ig
how is fleece

that one isn't fleece
So i got a patagonia retro fleece
But like light colored
this one is
i am lacking something darker
but the sherpa stuff for me gets hard to keep clean when its black
Cause everything shows and sticks easy
how is this tho https://www.thenorthface.com/en-us/mens/mens-fleece/mens-fleece-full-zip-c829791/mens-extreme-pile-full-zip-jacket-pNF0A7URL?color=I0I&size=L
The North Face
Men’s Extreme Pile Full-Zip Jacket | The North Face
Look up ''warm'' and ''soft'' in the dictionary and you’ll find the Men’s Extreme Pile Full-Zip Jacket. The relaxed fit, secure-zip chest pocket, and folded cuff and hem binding add to the comfort and style of this cold-weather essential.
Not sure about the deal tbh cause its not something id wear daily
Looks good, pretty gorpy
Looks nice
True, though you might like it enough to wear daily
But it’s up to you
Yeah
I got thick hoodies just sometimes im missing that top layer
Cause if its too cold ill wear my thick af puffer
Fuck fashion then
But like for 0° celcius and above
Is this a good cheap alternative to the tnf
Cause im trying to buy clothing pieces that have more of an impact
Got too many clothes not enough outfits
Imma be real I don’t like the way this looks but if you wanna wear it just for warmth then go ahead

might be worth looking up chore jackets or chore coats
wool and corduroy both give the 'cozy' feeling if that's what you're looking for
Hmm

Nah im realizing cozy outerwear aint my thing
Lol
Damn thats a solid fit
U need like the right shoes tho
what shoes do you have?
All i have are sneakers
also it takes time
no sneakers work
what sneakers you own
Like common hype stuff
its better to get thigns one by one
AF1s?
they might work
Dunks aj4 air max 90
No af1s
ah but the vibe
But i have suede grey 550s
550s work entirely imo
hmm
Whats an easy jacket then

id choose this one idk
someone else may or may not agree i am just one person
And this would go with hoodies joggers sneakers to like sweaters jeans converse?
Cause its definitely more advanced and elevated than a basic zara jacket lol
So if I could pull it off id love to get it
how do you feel about this fit
Yeah real nice
Should I get grey or black tho
Cause i dont got blue stuff
primarily personal preference
a lot will depend on the stuff you wear underneath/with it
Are there any under 50 tho
Cause im tryna buy multiple styles ig to try out for some time
Also whats a lined jacket

Is this good
Looks good, good price, probably not high quality though if you’re ok with that
Here are a few different jackets I own, i would consider all of these quite versatile. They are all vintage and some expensive but you can find affordable options for any of these
As others have mentioned i highly recommend a mechanic style jacket. Very basic and versatile and is a good combo of functional and fashionable
You’ll be able to mesh it with basically any style whether that be streetwear, workwear, ect
