From the ’60s onwards, coaches — from NFL stars to little-league heroes — wore various styles of the lightweight nylon jacket, emblazoned with team logos. And today, countless brands are making updated versions of this classic style, and for good reason: utilitarian and good looking, the coach jacket’s simple design complements a multitude of different aesthetics. The jacket, which features a pointed collar and snap front, is a cornerstone of windproof outwear, so pair one with a button-down and chinos or your favorite tee and washed jeans for a light layer against a breezy day.
