For as hot as temperatures have been at times across much of the country, there’s still a good chance that things will cool off eventually. When the time comes, today’s #OOTD looking at how to wear a lightweight jacket is going to prove mighty handy. The key, as ever, is assembling the right menswear essentials around your ever-crucial lightweight jacket. Be it when the sun goes down at a bonfire or when a coastal breeze picks up, you’re going to want a rugged-yet-easy-to-layer jacket like the Taylor Stitch HBT Jacket on your back. It’s the centerpiece of today’s ensemble, made with a washed organic cotton for a fit and feel that’s broken-in right out of the box. It also comes in a cool Washed Olive colorway, all the better to wear with plenty of rugged and casual style picks (like your new favorite lightweight boots, for instance). Better still, many of these gear picks are on sale right now through the Taylor Stitch Summer Sale.

On the road, the Taylor Stitch HBT Jacket is going to come through quite effectively, what with pockets for your EDC essentials and a fit that’s more than easy to wear with one of the best men’s T-shirts or a classic chambray shirt in equal measure. Throw in the fact that the Taylor Stitch HBT Jacket is on sale right now through July 4th at Taylor Stitch, and this winning ensemble is nearly complete for unexpectedly windy summer days. You can even layer up this classic, durable jacket come fall, but let’s focus on how to wear a lightweight jacket right now, and the rest should take care of itself. Happy shopping and cheers to summer, folks.
