In an ideal world, a good reversible jacket would be a very valuable item. You have two jackets in one, right? Technically yes. But the math isn’t always right. That’s because reversible jackets can be a bit uneven in style, with most having both good and not-so-good sides. (The interior is supposed to be BOGO-like; in fact, it’s often more GWP-like.) In some cases, the secondary colors leave a lot to be desired. In other cases, contrasting decor spoils the whole impression. Lately, however, brands have found ways to solve the tricky style problem—and it’s not too early. Some people prefer to keep both sides the same color and enhance the contrast with texture (eg wool on the outside, nylon on the inside); some simply invert the color schemes to give both sides the same vibe; some focus on AP level arithmetic, on the one hand, remained calm, and on the other hand, completely scared. That said: reversible jackets are finally reaching their potential, and if you want to get the most out of your outerwear rotation right now, you’ll want to take note. Start with this.
