Windbreakers. . . has it been a while since you’ve even considered one, let alone worn one? It’s not just you, but hopefully this shiny shiny Storm Jacket from Artificial Flavor will sway you in the right direction. With a softer feel for less “swish” when you’re walking around, you get the opportunity for layering this spring without any styling trouble. Contrast trim zips around to add interest, and yes– it’s hooded! [$108 at tobi]

As unappealing as a “washed leather” sounds, this Diesel jacket at ssense is doing things right. Featuring multiple pockets that are as functional as they are design essentials, ribbed cuffs and waist, and tone on tone stitching, this jacket also has a fashionable yellow lining and a signature tag at the lower front. Another extremely tempting black leather jacket. . . I don’t know how to decide on a single one. Coin toss, anyone? [$600 at ssense]

This jacket goes into the wearable art category, but that’s part of the reason why we love shopping at Forward by Revolve so much. Styled with a series of carefully pleated touches and a simple silhouette to accent them, this jacket reigns supreme in the world of calculated cool. Worn with Neo-Vintage, it’s hipster; worn with slim jeans and a pair of boots, it’s just a cool piece which should remain mysterious when it comes to purchasing origin. [$779 at forward by revolve]

An uncomplicated jacket is good when you’ve got a lot going on with the rest of your stuff, but what about when you’re wearing jeans and tees (albeit amazing ones)? This is the right jacket to go for, with enough interest to stand alone and still easy enough to match that nearly everyone can handle it. Available at ’80s purple, you can get yours in either khaki or navy with a drawstring waist hem. Sizes s-xl; 100% cotton. [$292 at '80s purple]

100% virgin wool meets original design details in this slick Raf Simmons overcoat at bblessing. With a trim shape accented with both neckline and chest darts, this one might manage to flatter the pectorals (for real!) and not leave you looking like a puffed-up square, albeit a warm one. This is an investment piece because it makes you look hot, stay hot, and it’s by raf, one of the best in the biz. Race you! [$1,300 at bblessing]

Repeat after me: leather is a long-wearing fashion staple that’s worth every penny. This patch pocket piece in glossy black from Forward by Revolve is a “Made in the USA” selection that’s easily justifiable for its economy-boosting powers. Slick and slim-fitting, it’s going to mold to your shape in no time, and will get that incredibly glossy patina that most of us lust after. [$1, 749 at forward by revolve]

A jacket named “Rektor” that still makes you want to buy it deserves some design credit. This G-Star selection at ssense comes fitted with a no-nonsense hood that can stay hidden away when not in use. Design details are kept to a bare minimum, with touches like a button tab collar and single zip pocket catching our attention just enough while we contemplate buying it. Need we remind you how many seasons this one will last? It’s a keeper. [$679 at ssense]

Glossy, crinkly red luxe from Joyrich is a perfect hoodie selection: it might be traditional in shape, but the fabric and design details are far from it. Statement red communes with a long front zip, zip front pockets and one zip coin purse, and a contrasting black-lined hood. While it’s probably best to avoid wearing any more fire engine red to keep this one standing out, the rest is up to you. Surprisingly versatile; 100% poly. [$132 at revolve]

Soft, sleek leather gets the wrinkle look in this Tobi find from Ever, and you’ll probably be pushing over jackets to the back of the closet when this one rolls around. Graced with an exemplary fit and a knitted hem/cuff combo to cut the chill, the Essen Leather Jacket cuts the cold while keeping you fashionable. Deep slash pockets give you easy hand-warming access– or you can just stuff them in there for bad boy effect. Sizes S-XL. [$836 at tobi]
