As winter gets ever closer, it’s time for both guys and girls to start thinking about making that necessary winter purchase – a warm jacket. From hoods to fur, buttons to zips, a men’s jacket is an item that not only keeps a guy warm, but also reflects who he is – so here’s the list of our tips for the top five winter jackets for men.

1.
North Face jacket. A reliable brand with a fantastic array of choices; if you’re the active, outdoors type then this is the brand for you. Often small but warm, this is the perfect jacket for those long winter walks or camping trips.

2.
A Regatta waterproof jacket would be perfect for those who like to dress casually whatever their environment. They can protect you from any weather and keep you warm, while still making sure you look chic and stylish. Usually a baggy jacket with plenty of pockets, you’ll have room for all your things whether you’re playing sports, walking through town or socialising with friends.

3.
A men’s hooded jacket is a fantastic buy if you live in an area which really gets chilly. There’s no better way to protect your face from dreadful weather conditions than putting your hood up and your head down! While most brands make jackets with a hood, not all do, so it’s worth researching a little before you come to a decision on style and supplier.

4.
Knee-length jackets are also very popular as we head into the chilly seasons for obvious reasons. These types of jackets can be very expensive though, so don’t jump in to the first one you see. However, if you find yourself a bargain, go for it; such jackets often offer an unmatched durability and can last for years.

5.
My final tip for a winter jacket is for the flashy people among us, for the chic and stylish guys who may be prepared to brave the cold for the sake of looking as good as possible, and as suave as their style will allow. My final tip is a leather jacket! However, with this tip must come a warning – leather jackets don’t suit everyone! It is very difficult to pull off a leather jacket, so don’t spend all that money on one unless you’re 100% sure you look good in it. As this blog post shows, there are loads of alternatives if you don’t want to take the risk!

There we have it – my top 5 winter jackets! Now…before the conditions get too cold, go and get yourself one to ensure you’re looking and feeling good whatever the weather!
