As Autumn approaches and the days start to cool down, it’s time for many of us to start our hunt for the perfect jacket ready for the new season. Unlike the baltic conditions of Winter, the Autumn months can often be a mixture of warmer and cooler weather, leaving no room for heavy coats. If you’re in need of a new Autumn jacket but don’t know where to start, take a look at these quick tips to help you make the perfect purchase.
Focus on quality
While you might like to have an alternative jacket or coat when Winter arrives, you should still make sure the jacket you find for Autumn is wearable for many years to come. Look for high quality garments made from durable materials, especially if you are looking to buy a leather jacket. Avoid the temptation to make impulse buys! Putting more attention on quality means you end up buying less clothing, which can save you money in the long run.
Consider versatility
Your Autumn jacket should be the kind of item that can be thrown over any outfit and look great with every colour scheme. Keep versatility in mind when shopping, and stick to styles and colours that you know will match the majority of your wardrobe. A women’s leather jacket or a men’s khaki bomber jacket are good examples of stylish outerwear that’s wearable enough to last throughout Autumn. If you go for a jacket with a minimal design and colour scheme, remember you can always brighten up your look with accessories such as scarves, hats and gloves in fun styles!
Keep it comfortable
Autumn is all about wrapping up and getting cosy, so the last thing you want is a jacket that’s too tight, itchy or generally uncomfortable to wear. Try on your new jacket before purchasing and make sure there’s enough room for extra layers underneath to avoid the garment being too restricting.
Remember personal style
It’s important to keep your own personal style in mind when shopping for any new item. Unless you fancy a style update, try not to get distracted by new trends and styles that don’t reflect your usual taste. Doing so could result in you feeling less comfortable and confident than you would if you’d chosen a jacket in your favourite style.
