What types of men's jackets exist? The transition between autumn and winter can be tricky to handle clothing-wise. From mild and pleasant weather, it suddenly shifts to cold temperatures. Therefore, choosing men's jackets and coats is particularly important for these seasons. For autumn, a suitable jacket is ideal as it fits well between this weather that alternates between warm and cold. You’ll find different types of coats like collared blousons, hooded jackets, overshirts... When winter arrives, parkas and padded jackets become key allies.
Autumn and winter offer a wide choice of jackets, with many styles and clothing combinations. Between parkas, padded jackets, hoodies, short jackets, and overshirts, you have plenty of options.
The padded jacket, for a warm winterThe padded jacket is the main garment that will protect you from the cold. The quilted padded jacket, for example, offers enhanced protection thanks to its padded side. Very trendy, you can also choose one with a fur collar, very pleasant to the touch. The padded jacket can be worn in a classic size, meaning above the waist, but also in a long version. These models are 100% polyester, which helps retain heat.
The padded jacket has become a wardrobe staple for men. It’s a garment that found the perfect balance between style and comfort. Today's models are much more worked on in terms of look and style than previous ones.
The padded jacket is different from the parka, even though they generally belong to the same family. The parka usually has a hood and is worn longer than the padded jacket. It’s not uncommon to see parkas reaching the knee. Conversely, the padded jacket is shorter and generally doesn’t have a hood.
The hooded jacket
When temperatures start to drop, some may regret the lack of a hood on certain blousons and jackets. It’s true that the hood offers extra protection against the cold and shields us from bad weather. Thus, the men's hooded jacket has become fully democratized in both men's and women's fashion. It’s usually worn with a zip and has two kangaroo pockets. At a time when the weather can be very capricious and changeable from hour to hour, the hooded jacket is ideal for autumn. It has a more casual and relaxed vibe than classic jackets. We can also mention the overshirt, an accessory similar to a traditional shirt but thicker and longer. Like the hoodie, it’s a more casual piece.
Initially quite streetwear stamped, the hooded jacket has established itself over the years. Highly prized for the comfort it offers, it’s a basic piece in men's and women's fashion.
The strong comeback of the bomber
The bomber could be called timeless. Indeed, this garment has crossed eras since the 1920s. Originally, it was worn by American aviators. This jacket was very suitable for high altitudes and bad weather. Today, the bomber has become an important piece in men's fashion. Generally, the bomber is a fairly short jacket, worn at waist level. The sleeves are rather wide, and the most popular models are usually dark colors. It’s an ideal jacket for early winter, especially if made of nylon. Having become a staple, the bomber is easy and simple to match.
Note that the bomber is also becoming increasingly popular in women's wardrobes. Historically, it’s interesting to see how many different circles have adopted this garment: rock, rap, bikers, skate, and even some political movements...
The short jacket when temperatures are still high
The short jacket is recommended when temperatures are still pleasant. It’s worn when you can no longer go out with just a t-shirt, but it’s still too mild for a coat like a padded jacket. So it’s more of a late summer / early autumn jacket. Its design is very simple and clean. We particularly recommend the denim jacket, which is very fashionable lately and pairs easily with a wide choice of jeans and sneakers. The advantage of this piece is that you can wear it again the following year when spring arrives. The short men's jacket is therefore a durable, effective garment that matches easily.
Bomber
The overshirt is a unique men's jacket model. Indeed, the overshirt was created based on a classic shirt but with modifications that make it ideal for mid-seasons. The overshirt is therefore originally a wider and thicker shirt, not meant to be worn alone but over a top. Its cut is straight and falls lower than a classic shirt.
The overshirt is an ideal compromise between a shirt and a men's jacket, being lighter than a padded jacket or parka but protecting against autumn or spring chill. Without the stiffness of a bomber or blazer, the overshirt is appreciated for its relaxed look. Although the overshirt is a distinct model, some classic shirts, if not too fitted, also work; just take a long-sleeve shirt wider than your actual size to wear a top underneath.

Among our wide range of men's jackets, you will find many models in the relaxed and urbanwear spirit emblematic of Project X Paris, but also blousons, bombers, or parkas with a more dressed and casual chic style. Another advantage of the men's jacket is that it matches many styles, allowing everyone to create their own look.
Whether you prefer an extravagant style with bright colors and prints or a more sober style with solid colors, you will surely find your happiness among our large collection. Here is a non-exhaustive list of our autumn and winter jacket range: jogging jackets, suede velvet jackets, bombers, parkas, aviator blousons, etc.
Choosing the perfect cut for your men's jacket is an important moment and may require some thought. Indeed, a men's jacket or blouson has a long lifespan and will accompany you for several years, so you must make the right choice of cut and style.
To find the right cut for your men's jacket, we advise you to consider your body shape, as some cuts and sizes tend to shorten frames, for example. But for choosing your jacket or parka cut, you can also consider your tastes and how you want to wear your jacket daily; some prefer a straight and long cut while others prefer a more fitted or body-hugging cut.
But your men's jacket cut must also adapt to the clothes you will wear with it, and thus to your current wardrobe. Indeed, a wide jacket with a straight cut will fit perfectly with straight jeans or a knitted sweater, while a fitted jacket will be more suitable if you wear it over a short-sleeved t-shirt.
Matching your men's jacket with the rest of your outfit is necessary, or risk ending up with a jacket that doesn’t go with your wardrobe and thus wearing it very little. To make the right jacket choice, it’s necessary to think about which clothes you could wear with it. There are some criteria to consider so that the jacket, padded jacket, or parka blends perfectly into your wardrobe.
The first and perhaps most important point is the jacket color. Your jacket color must perfectly match the clothes you wear without clashing. For this, we advise avoiding tone-on-tone with the bottom, meaning the jacket color should be different from the pants. If possible, the jacket color should match the accessories or socks, which will echo this color.
The coherence of the jacket and other clothes will also depend on your style and the men's jacket style. Indeed, a padded jacket or jogging jacket will pair perfectly with sneakers and jogging bottoms, for example, whereas the overshirt will be more suitable with a solid color top and dress shoes. For a more casual chic look, we advise opting for a men's jacket combined with distressed jeans, and for a more urban and streetwear look, you can choose a jacket without a hood with a sweatshirt.
