Best chore coats for men to wear this spring.

Don’t let the warmer temperatures fool you this season: There are certainly going to be days and nights where cooler weather rolls back into town, and you’re going to want to be prepared.

While I’m willing to bet you’ve safely stowed away your hefty winter parka or shearling leather jacket, there’s something to be said for keeping one of the best men’s chore coats close at hand, with its tightly woven, durable yet lightweight build and rugged appeal.

And since those are the boxes we’re looking to check today, there’s one place you’re going to want to go, and that’s Huckberry — how could it be any other brand, ehh?

And although the site just got a truly excellent-looking makeover by way of a refreshed design, the quality and consistency of its slate of in-house brands should remain steadfast and highly appealing, and it’s with that longevity in mind that we dive into the versatility of the Wills Cotton Linen Chore Jacket for your rotation of the best spring menswear, my friends.

There’s an elevated, modern-meets-classic appeal to the Wills lineup of menswear at Huckberry, be it the brand’s super-soft cashmere sweaters, breezy tailoring or slightly more rugged selections like the c.

To hear Huckberry tell it, this classically inspired jacket “blends classic workwear utility with breathable comfort,” and in this instance, that means your new favorite chore jacket boasts a 70 percent cotton, 30 percent linen build for added structure and texture (that holds true whether you pick it up in Dark Olive or a dressier, blazer replacement-friendly Dark Navy).

The utilitarian nature of the Wills Cotton Linen Chore Jacket takes its cues from timeless French workwear jackets, with a button front, a foldover collar, button cuffs and two hip patch pockets. While it’s polished enough to wear over a white Oxford shirt alongside light khaki-hued chinos, you can also embrace full-on workwear with selvedge denim and an off-white henley, plus broken-in leather boots, this season.

The Wills Cotton Linen Chore Jacket should prove serviceable when worn over a breezy slub pocket tee or a contrasting chambray shirt in cooler climes, with a fit that leans classic yet tailored without veering too far into ultra-slim or ultra-relaxed territory. Think of it like a grab-and-go jacket that can do everything from replace a blazer (based on your office dress code, that is) or serve as a handsome, functional travel jacket.

One of the best chore coats for men brings a heck of a lot to your wardrobe, at least in my humble opinion — give it a shot this spring from the revamped Huckberry site and see for yourself.

Wills is perhaps best known for its buttery-soft, classic cashmere sweaters and other polished, crisp menswear staples, and the Wills Rosedale Classic Blazer lives up to its billing with elegance in mind.

Whether paired with its matching suit trousers and brown leather loafers or styled separately with lightweight stretch chinos and a stylish dress shirt (which Wills also happens to make!), the Wills Rosedale Classic Blazer is billed by Huckberry as a “perfectly tailored, all-season suit jacket that rises to every occasion” — add in the fact that it’s handmade in Portugal at a family-run factory known for its commitment to quality tailoring, and the ante is upped even further, as we like to say.

Made from a blend of just a touch of Spandex to add durability to its 98 percent Portuguese High-Twist Wool construction, this fully lined jacket uses soft, supple Bemberg lining for a touch that gives it a bespoke feel without the price tag of going custom. The Wills Rosedale Classic Blazer boasts a natural shoulder, classic-but-modern lapels and a tailored fit in sizes running up to 46.

The angled welt chest pocket is a distinctive touch that separates the Wills Rosedale Classic Blazer from the pack as far as other navy blazers are concerned, while it also features three-roll-two construction (three buttons down the front, with the lapels rolled to cover the top button — a classic and classy move favored as of late by none other than James Bond himself.

This jacket manages to feel polished without going overboard and turning into a rather stuffy gold-button navy blazer — it’s a perfect go-between when the dress code calls for a sharply tailored dress shirt, but a tie might prove optional.

And when you pair up the Wills Rosedale Classic Blazer with its matching pants (note that the jacket itself comes in either Charcoal or Navy), you’re getting crisply finished tailoring with a sense of laidback ease — isn’t that what every guy should look for this season in one of the best blazers for men? Count on it, my friends, and suit up accordingly.

The Sunday Sale: This Garment-Dyed Blazer from Wills and Huckberry is the Most Versatile Jacket You Can Buy (At a Discount)

I often scour the market for the best men’s clothing deals, as you well know if you read this Brooklyn style blog on the regular. Of course, I frequently check out the digital wares on the (digital) shelves at Huckberry, which is what brings us to today’s Sunday Sale in the midst of a very fine NFL fall Sunday indeed.

And in the midst of an utterly jam-packed holiday season, it’s reassuring to know you can still score a deal on a truly versatile piece of men’s tailoring, like the Wills Garment-Dyed Blazer shown above.

It’s not the first time we’ve talked about Wills, the ultra-premium in-house brand from everyone’s favorite Americana retailers Huckberry, as the micro-brand is perhaps best known for remarkably soft cashmere sweaters, neatly tailored trousers and easygoing yet luxe staples like the Wills Garment-Dyed Blazer.

Huckberry calls this handsome navy blazer, complete with classic patch pockets, “your secret to easy-wearing warm-weather style,” perhaps a sign pointing towards its on-sale price tag right now — and yet, this is one time shopping out of season, yet at a discount, makes perfect sense.

You see, with a crisply cut navy blazer like this, particularly in a lightweight design, you can layer it up with ease over everything from an elegant button-front cardigan to a fisherman sweater. Thanks to its blend of cotton and elastane, this blazer should prove adept at business casual style situations as well as business casual travel.

After all, the soft-shouldered design and patch pockets make for easy wearability on the go, from point A to point B — and Wills clothing at Huckberry, like the Wills Garment-Dyed Blazer, is also designed to resist wrinkles and odor, not unlike the Proof in-house brand at Huckberry.

With a crisply cut and highly stylish, easily wearable blazer like the Wills Garment-Dyed Blazer, go-anywhere good looks become second nature, be it pairing with an Oxford shirt and rust chinos this holiday season, or else keeping handy to wear with dark blue jeans and a chambray shirt at the office or on a weekend date night.

Throw in the chance to save a few bucks with your purchase, and it’s a no-brainer to scoop up the Wills Garment-Dyed Blazer, at least in my experience.

See Now, Buy Now: This Wrinkle-Free Linen Shirt from Huckberry Is Made for Breezy Spring & Summer Days

Best linen shirt for men for spring and summer.

There are certain fabrics that make certain men’s style essentials indispensable as the thermostat climbs, like linen. Its breezy open weave keeps you cool from sunrise to sunset, whether in suiting, trousers or in the stylish linen shirt shown at the top of the page.

And yet, here’s the thing with linen, at least in my experience: The fabric wrinkles easily, which some might appreciate for its easygoing, devil-may-care sense of style. And yet, if you want one of the best linen shirts, but one with a true wrinkle-free approach, well, consider yourself in luck.

The good folks at Huckberry, and Huckberry in-house brand Wills, have come up with the perfect solution — a wrinkle-free linen shirt meant to upgrade all your spring and summer style pursuits, no extra ironing required.

The Wills Wrinkle-Free Linen Shirt (available in both long-sleeve and short-sleeve versions) stands apart as one of the best shirts for men, and the difference is in the details. It’s made from a classic, breathable linen blend that looks great, retains its shape and again, resists wrinkles.

Along with that, it retains the timeless details of your favorite Oxford shirt, including a face-framing buttondown collar and a chest pocket — the Wills Wrinkle-Free Linen Shirt is at once casual and yet polished, the sort of shirt you can wear with your favorite blazer and stretch chinos as readily as you can rock it untucked with expertly faded light wash jeans.

The Wills Wrinkle-Free Linen Shirt — again, in either short-sleeve or long-sleeve designs — also keeps things simple and versatile in terms of style. Take your pick from options like Marled Blue or a Natural colorway, each of which should wear nicely with spring and summer style moves like olive or tan chinos, dark blue jeans, navy seersucker trousers or your go-to summer shorts.

Best of all? The fact that the Wills Wrinkle-Free Linen Shirt should live up to its name, keeping things crisp, casually cool and effortlessly stylish. In my experience, that’s what your spring and summer style #OOTD needs.
