5 stylish winter jackets for men

Autumn is well and truly here, and you can now really start to feel how the winter chill is beginning to make its mark on the Danish weather. Winter jacket season is just around the corner, and if you haven’t sorted out your outerwear yet, it’s time to get started!

A stylish and warm winter jacket is essential for every man, so you can face the winter without worrying about the biting cold typical of Danish winter weather. When you’re wearing your winter jacket, you want to feel cool, stylish and fashionable, but you also need to be able to keep warm and feel comfortable even on the coldest winter days. The obvious choice is a black winter jacket, because it’s a classic in the sense that you can wear it with all sorts of outfits – by choosing black, you’ll always look stylish and fashionable.

Which winter coat should you choose?

When you’re out choosing your winter jacket in the autumn, remember that there are other factors to consider than when, for example, you’re out buying a new jumper. You don’t wear a jumper every day – but you do wear your jacket every day. It’s therefore important to buy a jacket that you can comfortably wear every day for several months – perhaps even for several years – so you don’t have to go out and buy a new one every year. The question then is simply which cut you think suits you best or fits in best with your everyday life, as well as how practical it needs to be.

Waterproof? Water-repellent? Windproof? Breathable?

Yes, these are just a few of the features winter jackets come with. There’s no getting round the fact that the Danish weather isn’t always reliable, so it’s worth considering whether you need a winter jacket that can keep out both rain and wind, or whether you’d actually be happy with one that simply keeps you warm.

Do you cycle a lot as part of your daily routine? Perhaps you cycle to and from school or work every day, or frequently cycle round to your friends’ houses; in that case, the right choice for you would be to buy a winter jacket that can keep out both rain and wind. There’s nothing worse than a jacket where, almost every day, you find yourself complaining that you’re getting wet because rain or snow is seeping through, or that you’re freezing because the wind is blowing through the fabric as you cycle down the hills on your way to school. If, on the other hand, you take the car or the bus to school or work, you can easily make do with a jacket that’s simply really cosy, so you can keep the winter chill at bay.

What sort of jacket do you prefer?

The features your winter jacket needs depend entirely on your personal style and your everyday lifestyle. Below, we’ve listed 5 cool jackets – all in black – that suit different styles and uses. With these options, it shouldn’t be hard to find a jacket that perfectly matches your taste and the practical needs of your everyday life.

The lightweight winter jacket

The lightweight Basic down jacket is ideal for autumn, when winter weather hasn’t quite set in yet. This lightweight jacket is ideal for those who want a warm jacket for those autumn months when the weather isn’t yet cold enough for a winter jacket, but when a summer jacket is no longer sufficient. The design is stylish and sleek, featuring a practical hood and zipped pockets, and its lightweight construction means you won’t feel weighed down by too much fabric. This is a great choice for a jacket to wear before the winter weather really sets in.

This model is also available in olive and dark grey, or without a hood.

The classic winter jacket

The classic Basic Bubble Jacket is reminiscent of the popular North Face or Peak Performance jackets you often see on the high street. This one stands out, however, with its white zip, which creates a nice contrast to the otherwise very dark jacket. This jacket has a simple, stylish look and is practical for winter, as it has a thick lining to keep you warm, as well as a hood to keep your ears warm. The quilted look is very much in vogue right now, so with this jacket you’re guaranteed to be making a fashionable choice.

This style is also available in black/black, navy and olive.

The practical winter jacket

The practical Hooded Heavy Thumbhole Parka is a timeless classic. Its sleek and elegant look makes it suitable for all occasions. The jacket is stylish, yet also practical for cold winter weather, as it is both water-repellent and windproof. The jacket is made from Oxford cloth, ensuring high quality, and features polar fleece in the hood, which is guaranteed to keep your ears warm. If you’re looking for a smart and simple jacket that’s also practical, then this is the right choice for you.

This style is also available in grey.

The understated winter jacket

The understated Canvas Cotton Parka is a really good and practical winter jacket, as it is both wind- and water-repellent. Its understated look means the jacket doesn’t immediately catch the eye when you walk into a room. The parka is a timeless classic, which is why it has made it onto this list. The white lining gives it a stylish twist, whilst the drawstring at the waist gives the jacket a flattering cut. We’re particularly fond of the simple slit at the back, which gives it a classic yet fashionable look.

The simple winter jacket

The simple Hooded Puffer Jacket is in many ways reminiscent of the classic Basic Bubble Jacket, yet it also differs in many ways. This jacket has a more understated style, whilst still being very fashionable. Its hood is detachable, allowing you to create different looks depending on your mood on any given day. The jacket is lovely and warm, whilst also being wind- and water-repellent, making it suitable for all kinds of weather. Another great feature of this jacket is the elasticated cuffs, which ensure a snug fit around your wrists, preventing wind and rain from getting up your sleeves.

This model is also available in white.

Why buy one when you can get two?

You might be one of those people who dreams of owning one of those expensive North Face or Peak Performance jackets, but your bank balance is in the red and says “no thanks!”. You might be at a stage in your life where expensive items aren’t at the top of your shopping list right now, and you don’t fancy borrowing money to buy a winter jacket either. But you’ll still need a winter jacket when winter arrives in Denmark.

Winter jackets don’t have to be the most expensive items in your wardrobe, and you can easily find styles that suit your look perfectly without having to spend a fortune. You might even be able to afford to buy two, so you’ll have a jacket for those not-quite-wintery, but not-quite-summery months in autumn, when a transitional jacket is ideal – one that keeps you warm when the temperature hasn’t yet dropped below freezing.

With a cool winter jacket, bring on the winter chill. 1–0 to you!
