The jean jacket is a layer that you may not need now, but will come in handy in the next few weeks as the 90 degree days start to dissipate. The Levi's Trucker Jacket is a Fall staple, and one that should be in your closet. Paired with a plain or graphic t-shirt, a henley, a button down, even more denim, cotton chinos, shorts, you name it, this jacket can go with almost anything casual. So channel your inner, more hipster, James Dean and grab one of these and toss it on the next time you go to a bonfire or out to drinks when the Fall crisp starts to rear it's head.

The North Face Revolve 2 Hooded Jacket

If the weather so far in March is any indication of how April will go, you are going to need a good rain jacket. While this one isn't going over your suits, it is still important to keep yourself dry when meandering about on your off time during the rainy season in the eastern half of the US. This North Face Revolve Jacket is light weight, with a relaxed fit to go over your spring layers without scrunching them or allowing the tails to peak out of the bottom. The outside is 100% rain proof, which is the basis of what you need in a rain jacket (obviously). What The North Face does well, and is apparent in this jacket, is heat and sweat permeation. The polyester mesh lining wicks sweat away and the vent design keeps the interior of the jacket comfortable while you trek to the train station during a downpour. An essential for hiking in the spring, and a perfect light jacket to throw on when hitting the grocery store.

Alpha is an old American standard that is finally making a big mark on the fashion scene. After 40 years of developing outerwear for the US DoD, they are now making military inspired commercial wear for the world. This J-4 fishtail parka is perfect for winters where the average temperatures are between 25F-40F aka most of Europe and states above Oklahoma and below Michigan. The faux fur is removable for those guys who like a cleaner look and has 4 pockets: two front, one sleeve (with a pencil pocket), and one interior giving you plenty of places to keep your gear protected yet accessible during the winter weather. Its Cotton-Nylon exterior is also great protection from snowballs.
