From chore jackets to track jackets,
the variety in SS24 light jackets
makes them a no-brainer
for the rest of the season.

While winter weather necessitates a small rotation of high-performing coats—down and wool reign supreme—the warmer climes of spring and summer open up a wide range of possibilities in the outerwear arena.
From canvas workwear designs like chore jackets to suede shirts and lightweight track jackets, SS24’s light jackets extend from the classic to the technical, the traditional to the cutting-edge. Jil Sander’s graphic-heavy approach remains miraculously understated and versatile, ideal for layered outfits, while MISBHV and Courrèges opt for eye-catching fabrics that stand out from the crowd. Utility from the likes of Carhartt WIP and SAGE NATION is balanced by flair in terms of color and silhouette. In short, SS24 light jackets cover all bases.
Featured In This Image: Jil Sander jacket.
Cut from pure viscose, this printed Jil Sander jacket is a layering MVP with a flowing character. Hand-drawn graphics in muted hues add personality to the off-white backdrop without dominating the visuals.
Featured In This Image: AMOMENTO jacket.
Korean brand AMOMENTO doubles down on the fuss-free nature of retro track jackets. The Shirred Jacket makes the most of a monochrome nylon build with oversized proportions that emphasize the cropped body for a striking, ballooning silhouette.
Featured In This Image: Carhartt Work In Progress jacket.
Carhartt Work In Progress is undoubtedly one of the most natural workwear brands to fit into the modern wardrobe. With an eye on style as well as hard-wearing durability, the classic Active Jacket is an all-time favorite built with sturdy 12-oz canvas and finished in a beautiful pastel yellow hue.
Featured In This Image: TOTEME jacket.
TOTEME’s mastery of elegant, wearable design is plain for all to see in this suede jacket. Designed with a shirttail hem and barrel cuffs, it straddles the line between shirt and jacket, making it a transitional treasure.
Featured In This Image: YOHJI YAMAMOTO jacket.
As one of the most influential Japanese brands and a central figure in international style, YOHJI YAMAMOTO’s long career can’t be faulted. For SS24, the designer continues to explore the mystery of the color black, here with hand-faded denim unique to every piece.
Featured In This Image: MISBHV jacket.
Riffing off the iconic monograms of fashion’s oldest houses, MISBHV’s zipped jacket feels familiar and refreshing at once. With a cropped body and sharp tailoring across the squared shoulders, it cuts a clean and dramatic shape.
Featured In This Image: SAGE NATION jacket.
SAGE NATION’s Takeshi Jacket is proof that without big graphics or colors, tailoring can triumph. Big, relaxed proportions facilitate layering as well as amplify how chic simplicity can be.
Featured In This Image: Courrèges jacket.
This Courrèges jacket fits a familiar mold, taking on the shape of a traditional trucker jacket. But variations in fabric—a stretch vinyl textile with a shiny finish—and an exaggerated collar that can button up add a welcome twist.
