Shell Jacket

A shell jacket in black, made from a lightweight polyester with a touch of stretch, cut in a modern fit for men who want a light layer that moves with the day. It sits close but comfortably without pulling across the shoulders.

Spring and autumn are when this one earns its place. When the morning is cool and the afternoon isn't, you pull it on over a shirt or a knit and get on with it. The deep black shade keeps things simple and pairs with pretty much anything already in your wardrobe.

Wearing it

• Everyday: with jeans and white trainers
• Casual office: with chinos and loafers
• Layered over a knit when the temperature drops

For a hard frost you'll want something heavier, so treat this as your in-between-seasons layer rather than a deep-winter coat.
