A lightweight raincoat is a spring staple, especially if you’re a gent who wears a suit to work most days. Brooks Brothers has given some new life to this key basic by doing it in a shorter length that still works over any suit or sport coat, and in an updated navy. This one is just slightly brighter than a typical navy blue, perfect for spring. It’s super lightweight and ready to tackle the rain in style.

Burberry Brit - Showerproof Trench Coat
X
You know how having a Burberry trench is something of a “thing”? Besides the obvious traits that make it so wanted, like fabulous quality and timeless style, do you know that it all started with Thomas Burberry designing a trench coat for British World War I soldiers, fighting in the trenches? That history can still be seen in the double-breasted finish, epaulettes, belted cuffs and a removable belt of this water resistant version. It is shorter for a modern look and goes with your entire work wardrobe, from suit to jeans. Get it now, have it forever.

Cole Haan - Waxed Cotton Jacket w/ Corduroy Details
X
Put your thoughts on this model’s beard aside, and just concentrate on the coat. Because it’s truly a great coat. With a zip-out vest liner, you can wear this easy modern fitting trench from Cole Haan most of the year. Once it’s warmer, just remove the lining. Since it’s made of a breathable waxed cotton, it will keep you dry in the rain, too. The mushroom color is a great neutral that’s not too light to continue wearing deep into fall. And it looks great over dark and light suits, pants, and jeans alike.

Theory - Bales Sturdy Trench Coat
X
Theory’s minimalist approach updates the trench coat with clean lines and the shorter length that is the new classic. Playing into the theme we’ve been talking about of versatility, the light beige color is universal and the contemporary fit is downright dapper over a suit or sport coat.

J. McLaughlin - Carson Trench Coat
X
As opposed to Theory’s contemporary fit, J. McLaughlin’s version is an easier classic fit. It’s also in the shorter mid-thigh length. And it’s made of a coated water-resistant cotton shell with a zip and button closure that gives it a bit more of a relaxed feel - perfect with your khaki’s or jeans and a button up shirt on a casual office day.

Sanyo - Water Repellant Packable Travel Jacket
X
While this Sanyo jacket comes in neutral navy and black, the orange is our top pick. It’s not easy to find an office-ready silhouette in a stylish color that has a little “umph” to it (yet still goes with all your casual work bottoms, like khaki’s and jeans). Sanyo has cleverly taken a water repellant microfiber, often used in more casual styles, and constructed this jacket with blazer details like a buttoned chest pocket and flap hip pockets. So it has a dressier look, with all the casual benefits. It’s seriously lightweight, easily packing into its pouch – perfect for a trip.

Brooks Brothers - Quilted Hybrid Jacket
X
Quilting continues as a trend for spring. One of our favorite examples is this jacket from Brooks Brothers. The suede detail under the collar and marine blue color give it an elevated look, making it completely appropriate for work on a less formal day. It’s in Brooks Brothers classic fit, so its looser - easily handling layers underneath, like a sweater over your sport shirt.

Peter Millar - Austin Full-Zip Jacket
X
For those truly casual office days when the weather dictates a light jacket (maybe it’ll be a short day followed by a little golf), this classic windbreaker will take you from the office to the club in style. Peter Millar uses soft, windproof polyester that has a dressier look, and smart looking details in the knit trim on the wing collar and cuffs. It’s a modern fit that comes in neutral black, navy, and brown. But this surprisingly versatile rusty color adds a pop, while still working with all your neutral pants.
