Ladies, if you have a stylish man in your life, then don’t ask yourself which gift to give him this x-mas and if he’s not stylish, make it your duty to make him look good.

Today, men are very much into the world of fashion. They pay much attention on the way they look.

Buy him a casual jacket to keep him looking trendy. Most men look great in casual jackets. Men’s casual jackets come in a variety of styles. Each style has its own particular features that make it stand out from other jackets.

Learning about different types of jackets will help you determine the best jacket to buy. Today you can choose to buy a versatile jacket that can go with formal or non formal occasions, from hanging with the boys to visiting your parents. Below are some of the trendy types.

Bomber jacket
A ‘bomber jacket’ is a short jacket that has elastic bands at the waist and at the cuffs. The jacket fits loosely both in the body and the sleeves. It has a zip closure in the front. The jacket will keep you warm on a cool day.

They are available in almost any material. Many shops around Kigali have bomber jackets in a variety of sizes at pocket friendly prices. This type is suitable for middle-aged men.

Windbreaker
A windbreaker is a type of men’s casual jacket that is meant to prevent wind from penetrating the jacket’s fabric. They are lightweight, making them easy to move around in. In Kigali they can be found in most shops that deal in sports clothes.

 Varsity jacket
A varsity jacket is normally a solid colour with pin stripping around the collar and cuffs. They have elastic at the waist and at the cuffs with front snap closure. This type is strictly for young people.

When choosing a jacket, go for the one you can wear during the day time as well as in the evening. You would also like to pay attention to its seam; the seams should lightly fall along your curves without appearing clinging.

Be careful not to buy jackets in baby colours like pink, yellow or orange, instead go for brown, Army green or black.

Blazer jacket
A blazer jacket is that which goes with almost anything. It can be worn over khakis as well as jeans. If you work in a business casual office or not in any office at all, a blazer gives you a simple solution to the tricky problem of dressing respectably without appearing unfriendly.

It is also a smart choice for dinner in a nice restaurant or a morning at church.
 The possibilities of what to wear with a fine jacket are endless. Buying a nice jacket is perhaps the best investment a man can make in his wardrobe.
