We’ve got good news and (actually not really) bad news. Let’s start with the latter: Fall is here and it’s getting colder. Which leads us to the good news, as now is the season to cozy up and layer up with comfortable outerwear – which, as in the case of the next examples, has the nice side effect of turning heads while providing you with much-needed warmness.
From streetwear essentials to timeless retro designs, here come fall (and winter) jacket staples from the hand-picked outerwear portfolio of BSTN that you should be feeling warm about right now!
Puffer Jackets & Vests
When watching 90s hip-hop videos from New York, one might get the impression that the only way to enter the illustrious ranks of Biggie, Mobb Deep and the Wu-Tang was to wear a puffer jacket. But the ‘trend’ was born out pure necessity, given the city’s sub-zero temperatures in wintertime.
Same goes for puffer vests, of course, which are the perfect option for in-between-temperatures and stylish layering. If you want to keep it classic, The North Face is a no-brainer, while premium brands like ERL or KENZO twist things up a little.
Coats
If you’re looking for a sophisticated take on facing the depths of fall and winter, a good coat is the one to rule them all: Dress it up with a suit for that company Christmas party or dress it down with a hoodie and sneakers – a coat got you.
For sartorial options, A.P.C. or KENZO (as pictured here) always deliver, while the mighty BSTN Brand offers a puffed-out version too – and that’s just three of the many options at BSTN.
Varsity Jackets
Rooted in Ivy League cool, the collegiate classic and its modern interpretations serve as a versatile layering piece in fall, and go with anything from a hoodie to a button-up shirt – no matter if you’re at a team function, an award ceremony or just on your lazy fall stroll through a leaf-covered park.
At BSTN, you can find varsity jackets from Represent (as pictured), Rhude, New Era, and the varsity jacket powerhouse that is Schott, amongst others.
Fleece Jackets
You can’t say ‘fall season’ without pumpkin pie, Halloween parties and cuddling up on the couch in a warm blanket. So why not just rock a wearable blanket outside? Because the fleece jacket is exactly that (but looks much better). Made popular through hiking, the technical gear item exists in almost endless possibilities of colors, patterns and cuts these days – and you can find some of the finest ones here at BSTN, including the one pictured by Marant.
