Wear It Now: The Spring Sports Jacket

We already told you it’s the most important piece in your wardrobe. Now, here are the spring sports jacket options that will ensure you make the warm weather transition in style.
GQ // GQ

1. Boglioli

An option most guys don't typically think of is an unstructured sports jacket, which means no shoulder pads and no lining for a more relaxed sartorial look. Want to look like those street style stars from Pitti Uomo? Go for this look from Boglioli.

$1,495, available at Harry Rosen, 416-935-9200

2. Tallia Orange

We always advocate a pop of color, and there's no reason that it can't come from your sports jacket. If the bold color scares you, just pair it with a shirt in the same color family to balance your look. In this case, we'd suggest the Saturdays oxford Paul Rudd rocked on our March cover.

$150, available at Macy's, 212-695-4400

3. Dolce & Gabbana

Another unlined option, but this one is crafted out of paper-light cotton with a fine black, white, and gray plaid that gives a graphic punch. Unsure how to pair your plaids? Check our primer at GQ.com.

$1,095, available at Dolce & Gabbana, 212-249-4100

4. Burberry

That tan cotton blazer every guy seems to be searching for this time of year usually yields shapeless, washed options but this Burberry number is all business with razor sharp tailoring and a modern, skinny lapel.

$895, available at burberry.com

5. Gant by Michael Bastian

Attention men with coastal mansions and paramours named Daisy: This double-breasted guy is more spirited than your basic blazer, but it's got the personality to amp up basic underpinnings.

$985, available at gant.com

6. Maison Kitsuné

Do you feel a kinship with Pete Campbell but want to avoid going full-tilt prep? This Maison Kitsune number has that Ivy League spirit without looking like it came from central casting.

$1,199, available at Opening Ceremony, 212-219-2688

7. Neil Barrett

For the urbanite that wants a lighter weight option to the black wool suit jacket. The basket weave fabric and elbow pads add some texture to the basic. Wear over a crisp white button-up to work and with the perfect white tee on the weekends.

$530, available at Bergdorf Goodman, 212-753-7300

8. Etro

Fashion forecasting says cobalt is coming in strong for fall, so why not get ahead of the curve with this cotton Etro blazer. Just because it's brighter than your basic navy doesn't mean you can't use it with the same looks in the warmer months.

$1,355, available at Etro, 310-248-2855

9. Rag & Bone

Sports jackets don't have to be distant cousins of those suits hanging in your closet. Rag & Bone's blazer is a suit separate that would work as well with a pair of matching trousers as it would with trim cargo pants.

$755, Available at Saks Fifth Avenue, 212-753-4000

10. Gant Rugger

By now you should have a gingham dress shirt hanging alongside those whites, so why think of working that pattern into a blazer? Keep it modern by going slick with the pieces underneath like a skinny black tie.

$595, available at gant.com

  • beach sandls

    Flat sandals for every occasion—because who needs heels?

    Unless you’re one of those people who doesn’t like your feet, you like sandals. (And if not, I’d like to know know why, because sandals are easy, comfy and ideal for showing off cool nail polish colors. I love them.) They’re great for every occasion—work, weekend, beach, parties—with only one catch: it’s hard to find a single pair that’s right for all of them.

  • Swimsuits for body type

    Your perfect suit finder

    Brave women of all body types did a mass try-on (we brought in over 1,000 swimsuits!) to find these flattering, flaw-erasing winners. Seriously—they're better than Photoshop. Browse, buy, and feel beautiful.

  • Floral-appliqué triangle bikini

    The best swimsuit for your body type—yes, yours!

    When morning talk shows and local newspapers dole out their seasonal swimsuit shopping advice, I’m usually pretty disappointed by the lack of body types represented. What about the women who don’t resemble fruit? (Or aren’t boy-shaped—the third “one of these things is not like the other” category I’ve never quite understood. Couldn’t they say “banana?” Or is that somehow more offensive than “apple” and “pear” shapes?)
