Jackets add clean lines to a silhouette. If you think jackets are just an appropriate-wear for the winter season, then you are absolutely wrong. Jackets can be worn throughout the year.

Buying jackets can be an extensive process as there are multiple factors that you have to keep in mind. Your personal style is, of course, a primary factor and also the kind of jacket that you want. The jacket style depends on the purpose that you are buying the jacket for. A jacket fit for office would look drastically different from the one which you want for partying. Therefore decide on the occasion. Keep in mind your body type as well. Some jackets add bulk while others can help contour and conceal.

The weather is also an important factor. If you are buying a winter jacket, then the variety of materials is vast. There is velvet, wool, leather, PU, corduroy, plaid, fleece, and nylon padded. For summer, you have limited choices as the weather is warm. Stick to linen and cotton for summer. If the weather is moderately cold, you can opt for a light denim vest as well. Lastly, but most importantly, a jacket must fit well. For coats and blazers, we would suggest getting a good tailor, as customised jackets fit the best. Even if you are buying a readymade one, get it altered to fit you perfectly.
