Get excited!
Sweaty, summer days are almost over and a crisp fall breeze lingers just around the corner. And—drumroll please—guess what that means…? NO, not football season.
… jackets and coats, naturally.
Ok, so we know most guys aren’t turned on by coats. But, it’s a wardrobe rule of thumb that everyone should own a quality jacket, just like everyone should own good shoes. Even you, guys. A 2010 fashion-forward, fall jacket is an important staple to a functioning wardrobe… especially if you’re doing any traveling in notoriously rainy London or touring the English countryside in your Austin Healy convertible. Since we know you like to keep it simple and classy, here are two fall looks that’ll keep you warm and looking sharp in the UK.
The Must: Kenneth Cole’s Nylon Reversible Jacket, $128.50
This KC jacket is functional style at its finest. Practically two looks in one, this modified bomber is lightweight AND reversible, making it perfect for traveling. With a ribbed neck, cuffs and waistband, it’s simultaneously sporty and classy. It’s 100% nylon making it breathable and versatile in those notoriously unpredictable UK weather conditions. For casual meetings in and around London town, wear the hunter green side out. If you plan on taking in a show at the Haymarket, flip it to the charcoal side for that extra pinch of chic.

The Lust: Burberry’s double-breasted packable trench, $750
Fresh off the racks and right at home in the UK or anywhere, this fall’s lust item is a British-made Burberry double breasted packable trench. With a small hook eye closure around the collar and gun flap over the right chest panel, its versatile design packs up small. Two deep slanted button pockets leave plenty of room for a wallet or gloves. At 40 inches long this is perfect for any Underground station posing, strolling Hyde Park, or having a look around the Kings Road after lunch at Harvey Nick’s of course. It’s available in navy black, and black, and you can order it here.
