Find the Perfect Light Jacket—and Wear It to Pieces

Guys look forward to light-jacket season for a reason: The right version should be one of the most versatile pieces in your wardrobe. When the crocuses start to bloom, layer a thin cardigan and a barely-there tee beneath Todd Snyder’s suede trucker or Our Legacy’s leather blouson; once the summer heat arrives, simply swap the sweater for a loose-gauge knit polo. Focus on high-texture fabrics, silhouettes that flatter, and colors that complement your usual rotation, and you’ll walk away with an excellent and effective jacket you won’t want to take off.
