Guide to autumn jackets
Bye bye summer see you in 2022!
With autumn upon us, the first rains, the leaves that begin to fall and the first colds that do not take long to arrive, a fundamental stage is that of the change of season in the closet.
Every year it's always the same dilemma: I have too many clothes and I never know what to wear, I don't have a jacket for mid-season, I miss this or that, I have to go shopping ...
Great, because it is good to always be prepared and have the right clothes to wear! Rather than opting for the usual boring jackets seen and magazines in almost all fashion stores, why not rely on the hands of experts who can advise you in your choice?
If you want something that lasts over time, select garments created with quality products and fabrics, preferably made in Italy.
So get in the car and follow the advice of this little guide in selecting the best fabric for mid-season.
Don't be afraid of the variety because this article is specially written "tailor-made". Let's see together the most popular jackets for this autumn ..,
Oh flannel how beautiful you are
One of the most coveted autumn and winter fabrics is flannel.
It is ideal for men's clothing because it is at the same time comfortable, resistant and capable of draping. It is particularly light and soft to the touch, obtained from a blend of wool, cotton and cashmere.
If you see it so velvety it is because the fibers of the threads are lifted in the final processing with a wire brush. It is this operation that transforms the flannel into an excellent winter fabric that keeps you warm because it acts as a natural thermal insulator.
Remember that flannel should be dry cleaned, which on some formal occasions may be too casual but is certainly perfect for every day. Also how can you give up its softness and wearability?
That famous cashmere
Yes, cashmere, so expensive and sought after, loved by many for its softness, delicacy, for being so silky and precious is just one of the ideal fabrics for the cold season.
It is a highly prized textile fiber obtained from goat hair.
Currently one of the areas where it is processed the most is that of the north of Piedmont where most of the companies that deal with this fabric are based.
Are you starting to dream right? With its softness, it is ideal for some accessories or pullovers, but surely you will also be able to find some jackets and compose your wonderful tailored suit. If you are a business man and have many formal occasions, you cannot miss having something in cashmere in your closet!
A tip is to combine your cashmere jacket with personalized chinos and you certainly won't have to fear the winter cold!
Corduroy and it's Christmas right away
Let's go back a few years, maybe to the '70s, let's imagine Robert Plant and Jimmy Page going wild on stage in their corduroy jackets, and then you will want to have one too.
Let's stay on the classic, because this fabric is the most used during the autumn! It features a series of raised ribs that give it this rippled and wavy look.
One thing is certain: buy a corduroy jacket and you will save for a few years, as this fabric improves over the years.
Corduroy jackets are usually sewn with a smaller striped version than trousers in order to avoid the “Michelin man” effect. However, remember that this fabric is suitable for more informal situations.
Tweed: what a strange name.
Let's leave Italy for a second and go to Scotland, to the Highlands to admire the beautiful landscapes: it is certainly colder there and to keep you warm you can't help but rely on this fabric with a strange name, tweed.
It is an excellent fabric for the cold season because it is very resistant, at times a little rough, elegant, compact and flexible.
It is used above all for the creation of jackets, vests and trousers, perfect for more formal occasions: it is no coincidence that it has been used for years by British high society.
Other pills of this fabric are the fact that it is resistant to dirt and quickly absorbs moisture: you can say goodbye to colds.
We have therefore come to the end of this guide, and the gist of it all is that if you want to face autumn on your feet, or rather with the right jacket, you have to get advice from true fashion experts.
