When does a jacket technically become a coat? Is it in the material, cut or length? If you guessed the latter, you’re correct. Here, senior menswear editor Luke Raymond reveals the season’s best shorter styles from Valentino Garavani, Palm Angels and more.
‘All eyes were on Daniel Lee’s Burberry debut and he fully understood the assignment, serving up his own unique spin on house signatures. This reversible bomber jacket, in the Ripple check, was a key callout. Opt for a texture clash with the brand’s leather trousers.’
‘Every well-prepared wardrobe needs a puffer — and as always, Moncler has it covered. Step forward the Jarama jacket. Not only is it super-lightweight, it also features water-repellent properties: the ultimate antidote for those days when the sun and rain are vying for attention.’
‘September inspires the back-to-school feeling in all of us, and Palm Angels has run with that concept for its University shearling jacket. Inspired by ‘vintage style and timeless silhouettes’, Francesco Ragazzi has crafted an ultra-wearable piece, complete with faux-fur trims to the cuffs, collar and hem.’
‘Leather jackets were firmly back in focus on the FW23 runways — and this time, the aesthetic is sleek, sharp and decidedly grown up. Dsquared2’s leather aviator fits the bill perfectly with its clean lines, silver hardware and cropped length.’
