Possibly the most common type of jacket we've seen our parents and grandparents wear—a peacoat is made from heavy-duty wool and is best reserved for super-cold days out. The timeless style has been in the fashion world since the seventies and looks just as good on formal wear as it does with a pair of jeans.
Harrington Jacket

Created in the 1930s, a classic Harrington Jacket works for casual days out or a leisurely Sunday bike ride too. It's form-fitting while being fairly roomy. While they aren't recommended for colder temperatures, the waistband and cuffs are often a different fabric that keeps you snug on moderately chilly days. Pair them with your everyday sneakers and distressed denims to complete the look.
Suede Jacket
₹18999

Suede is one of the softest types of leather that does the job of keeping you warm while still being smooth, unlike top-grain leather. It comes in a bunch of colours too; we recommend picking up a neutral colour or something that goes with most of your wardrobe pieces since these jackets last quite long with minimal wear and tear.
Shacket / Shirt Jacket
₹5099
Shop On
Not too cold to throw on a jacket? How about a shirt thick enough to replace one? Shackets are super versatile because they essentially look like shirts and come in a bunch of designs. They're slightly more rugged than your garden-variety cotton shirts and are extremely comfortable to throw on top of a t-shirt and jeans.
Puffer Vest
₹8999

While a puffer vest won't keep your arms warm, it's a pretty great add-on to a winter outfit on top of your sweater. If you find regular jackets too stuffy, this one's a good alternative for you before heading out. They've also become a pretty loud style statement over the last few years.
Windbreaker Jacket
₹5299
Shop On
Perfect for outdoorsy days where you're sure to weather a variety of climates including a spell of rain or two, the windbreaker jacket is made from waterproof materials that don't add to the overall weight of your outfit.

Puffer Jacket

Heading for a day out in the snow? Throw on a puffer jacket. Perfect for cold, windy weather, a puffer jacket gives you a ton of insulation against the weather changes. Choose a material that's water repellant if you're wearing one out to a snowy destination.
Bomber Jacket

Another timeless piece, a bomber jacket, is too versatile to skip. They are really easy to style and are made of many different materials.

Some bomber jackets are even water-repellent and windproof, so you can even invest in one for rainy days.
Varsity Jacket

Well, it has been a while since varsity jackets became popular but since graphics and typography are still pretty huge right now, people are still holding onto this one.

Fleece Jacket

Blazer Jacket

If you want to transition from desk to dinner effortlessly, blazer jackets should be your calling. Neither too formal nor too casual, this style is a rather good mix of both.

You can even pair them with t-shirts for a cooler business-casual look.
