6 Sporty Chic Fall Jackets for Men to Invest in Now
Fall is all about jackets with a sporty soul and urban spirit. Pieces made for movement, not posing, but with quality and details that make all the difference.
These aren't blazers or tailored coats. The key jackets for Fall Winter 2025 have a sporty essence, designed to follow your daily movements, but speak the language of top brands. A wardrobe built on men's outerwear icons, from leather to zippers, technical innovation to clean lines. Here are six styles you need to know now.
1. New-Gen Overshirts
Lighter than a traditional jacket, more structured than a shirt: the overshirt is now a staple. 1989 Studio offers a modern version with clean proportions, while Loro Piana elevates it with noble fabrics and invisible details. A piece designed to shift effortlessly from office to weekend.
2. Leather Bomber
A symbol of character, not rebellion. Saint Laurent offers sharp lines, Prada chooses ultra-soft nappa, Loewe and Our Legacy add contemporary touches. The leather bomber remains a straightforward, versatile jacket that adds weight to any look.
3. Contemporary Varsity
Born on campus, now speaking the language of fashion houses. Fear of God signs an oversized version, MM6 Maison Margiela reinterprets it with a conceptual approach. The result is a piece that keeps its sporty origins but is refined in execution.
4. Luxury Minimalism
Here, the focus is on clean lines. Straight zips, premium fabrics, impeccable construction. Bottega Veneta, Gucci and Jil Sander show how subtraction can become a signature. An essential jacket, perfect over thin knits and fluid trousers.
5. Tailored Tech
Stone Island continues to lead when it comes to innovative materials. Its technical jackets are no longer just for the outdoors: they're designed for the city, to be worn as true style pieces. Performance and research turned into everyday aesthetics.
6. The Barbour Jacket
The Barbour jacket is the essence of English autumn, from the waxy scent to the fabric that tells stories of countryside and golden woods. How to wear it? Try it over a wool sweater and dark chinos for a relaxed yet elegant urban look, or pair it with leather boots and a tartan shirt for a nod to outdoor heritage—perfect for autumn in the city.
