The Tech Jacket
Constant innovations in fabrication have led to all sorts of jackets, coats and blazers coming in new materials or being treated with hi-tech coatings – meaning your traditional cotton and linen styles are now available waterproofed.
One brand that fuses technical features with tailoring particularly well is Oliver Spencer. The label’s polyurethane-coated Upton jacket is a perfect example of a smart-casual style that could be worn with jeans and boots on days that threaten rain, or with some lightweight pastel chinos and a pair of driving shoes/canvas trainers when the sun is out.
Also worth checking out is the brand’s Helvellyn jacket, another technically advanced piece that’s ideal for layering with a fine gauge jumper, or a chunkier roll neck depending on what Mother Nature throws at you.
Elsewhere, premium Italian label Herno does a minimalist car coat in a bonded thermoplastic fabric that teams well with some slim jeans and desert boots, while providing ample protection from inclement weather.
For something more obviously ‘performance’ in aesthetic, turn to Christopher Raeburn’s sports luxe styles for spring/summer 2015. His collection featured lightweight floral print hoodies and transparent plastic blousons and macs worn with a mixture of luxury track pants and fluid cotton trousers.
