Lux Light Jackets

Keep it light and tasteful this spring, with tailored favorites from Lemaire, Lanvin, and Giorgio Armani.

    Whether tightly tailored or loose and flowing, synthetic material or natural fibers, a light jacket is a staple. It’s also a way to elevate any look, should you so choose. A final layer to tie the entire fit together. It’s how your people find you in a crowd. In many ways, a jacket is the face you show to the world—so who are you? Shop below to figure it out.

    Model wears Giorgio Armani jacket.

    Armani tailoring was legendary in the 80s and 90s—this man knows a thing or two about conjuring an impactful silhouette. Neat and form-fitted, it’s the tasteful finish you’re looking for when dressing in a blazer.

    Model wears The Row coat.

    There’s a particular air of confidence that’s implied in the wearer of a robe—one who chooses to celebrate their body by draping it in a luxurious material, emphasizing comfort without forgoing elegance.

    Model wears At.Kollektive jacket.

    It’s hard to explore colored leather in a way that doesn’t feel ostentatious, but Danish brand At.Kollektive makes a successful case against this with a grained calfskin jacket in pale olive. Understated, sleek, and rugged, it’s the perfect piece for urban or pastoral.

    Model wears LEMAIRE coat.

    For transitional times, opt for the versatility of length. A poly-wool blend makes for a material that’s as soft as it is light. Always understated and always lux, Lemaire has a way of creating basics that somehow feel anything but, to such a degree that Christophe’s side hustle designing the U collection for Uniqlo sells out in hours. While you could opt for the lower-investment fruits of Lemaire’s labor, why not call and spade a spade and drape yourself in luxury.

    Model wears Lanvin jacket.

    The oldest fashion house still in the game knows a thing or two about jackets. Coachstyle staples—silver snap closures—are elevated with a spread collar and muted color palette. Casual comfort is anything but frumpy, and this jacket is proof.

    A blazer can take things from 0 to 100 if you know how to wear it. But let’s be honest, it’s a hard thing to mess up. Whether it’s a little black dress or a little black tank, top it with a black blazer and you’re set.
