Men's Lightweight Jackets

The Best Men's Lightweight Jackets

Having a stash of men's jackets in your wardrobe is a must for staying fresh, comfortable, and looking good throughout the seasons. While a heavier padded coat will keep you cosy in the winter months, there are lots of calls to have a small selection of lightweight casual jackets for every occasion. A lightweight packable waterproof jacket is a must for any man who loves the great outdoors whereas a puffer jacket pulls together a sense of urban adventure and street style. At Aigle, our range of men's lightweight casual jackets and warm winter coats have all been designed by blending French finesse with the boundless energy of the great outdoors. Eco-friendly insulation, stringent waterproof checks, and a wealth of different styles that suit both the country and the city set Aigle apart as being the masters of outdoor wear. This is where heritage, heart, and innovative technology come together to shine.

The Different Coats and Jackets You Need

Men's lightweight quilted jackets, parkas, puffers, and trenchcoats - there are so many different kinds of coats and jackets out there. To help you know which kind of jacket and coat to turn to for each occasion, check out our go-to guide for must-have men's jackets...

The Parka

The hooded parka is one of the best all-season styles of coats for men. Casual but versatile and with a detachable trimmed hood, these coats are an excellent choice for those who want a coat that is both waterproof, windproof, and ever ready to face the elements. Parkas usually come padded with plenty of down to keep you snug in the colder months. The parka is an iconic cut and is best styled in black or olive. You can get a Goretex parka if you are looking for something with a bit more heft or select a more lightweight parka style if you want a spring find to pair with your trainers or casual shoes.

The Overcoat

The overcoat is a classy winter jacket for men looking to get formal when it comes to fashion. Often made from wool, the overcoat is a great choice for those office commutes and cocktails if you are immersed in the business world. Wool overcoats may not be the most waterproof option so if you are looking for something a little more weather durable, a trench coat can also capture that middle ground between dress and formal. You can also find a more casual style of overcoat that fits the same as a classic overcoat but is made from a more outdoor-friendly material and can protect against the elements.

The Lightweight Rain Coat

The men's lightweight raincoat is a must for those spring and summer seasons or for travelling and outdoor adventures. Pick something that you can easily pack in your rucksack or suitcase and you won't regret the investment. A good rain jacket will be fully waterproof, windproof, and breathable without the need for excess weight. One of the things we love about this style of coat is how versatile you can be when it comes to colour and look. If you want a more flexible option you can opt for the classic men's black lightweight jacket, or you can choose a splashy number in primary colours to brighten up those dull grey days. The lightweight jacket is the perfect choice for those looking to layer up or to immerse themselves in the great outdoors by matching it with their waterproof boots.

The Trench

As we mentioned earlier, the trench coat is a classic. The good thing about the trench is that it can be quite a lightweight choice and when picked in the right material, it can be weatherproof too. The trench coat is a polished piece of perfection, it looks great when thrown over a suit or formalwear but can also look good when cinched in at the waist and worn with casual streetwear too. For those guys who embrace the artistic allure of city life, the trench is forever a tried and tested staple.

The Puffer

The puffer coat is another versatile choice for your outerwear wardrobe. Street savvy, stylish, and padded for extra warmth, the puffer manages to combine superb warmth with a lightweight feel. It takes its name as the setup is a quilted coat stuffed with down (or eco-friendly insulation) to create air pockets that are both breathable and super warm. The external shell is often water repellent making this style of coat a great choice for a men's lightweight casual jacket. The puffer also comes in many colours and prints offers you the chance to get well and truly bold with statement style.

There are so many styles of coats and jackets on the modern marketplace that collecting a ton of different types of outerwear every season can be tempting. However, invest in a couple of iconic styles that capture winter warmth and all the wet and grizzly seasons in-between and you have a fully-fledged wardrobe that will keep you warm and dry whatever the weather.
