Imagine it is Fall/ Winter/ Spring or Summer, and you’re in the market for a jacket or coat (e.g. Raincoat, Parka/ Winter Coat, or Trench/ Thin Jackets - depending on your preferences and needs).

What to do:

Pick out the jacket(s)/ coat(s) that you would consider wearing.

Upload a screenshot or image of the jacket(s)/ coat(s) you picked and then in a video or text response tell us:

What about these items caught your eye? What do you like about them?

If you love any of the pieces you picked – tell us why.

What attributes stand out to you? Why are these important to you?

How would you style it?

If you feel like there’s something missing from what you picked, or what the brand offers in terms of jacket(s)/ coat(s) generally, – tell us what.

Good morning!

I’m on the way to work on set. Will be sitting at the computer most of the day so got my comfy fit on!

# data[].attributes.body
Today I’m wearing Arcteryx lightweight trousers, converses all stars (worn with paint marks). Got blue camo t shirt on inside out and a C.P company zip up for the mornings. Accessories arcteryx waterproof backpack and vantage UPS real tree camo cap.

I tend to dress for mood or occasion. On a regular day I like to prioritise comfort especially if I’ll be busy or on the move.

My go to style day-to-day usually vintage with aspects of outdoors or sports. I like mixing it up by infusing classic items such as Levi’s jeans with vintage t shirts, and sports trainers or converse. I usually spend more when buying accessories as I feel it helps to elevate the outfit.

I mostly buy all my clothes second hand from Carboot sales/charity shops, (except for underwear and socks) I enjoy finding one-off items that will differentiate me from others. For underwear my go to brands and supreme and Lululemon as the fit and comfortability is perfect for me. For socks I usually buy Nike dry-fit or on running and own a couple of pairs or Marino wool socks from Arcteryx.

Overall I would rather acquire high quality clothing and accessories over low quality regardless of the price point. I also enjoy wearing items with organic or natural materials and feel the item will have more longevity and durability. I always avoid high street shops!

# data[].attributes.headline
My current style is a mix of skater/vintage classic look with some military/sports aspect which is inspired by the creative scene in music, fashion and arts. I take inspiration from celebrity style mostly LA/California based. Things I avoid are, clothes that flaunt wealth and clothes that have fast moving trends. I stay well away from anything the majority of people are wearing, as I feel the mainstream styles are fed to people with low inspiration and confidence.

I buy 80% of items second hand! Due to my style I like clothes to look a little worn and loved in, so it makes sense for me to buy second hand, saving money and finding rare unusual items to add to my wardrobe.

SLNSH Collection

This is the jacket I would chose from all the styles because I feel it can be worn sporty or casual depending on how you pair it. The colour and cuts of the jacket make it feel less classic compared to other options. I feel this is more versatile and youthful design.

I would wear with black shorts or blue wash jeans, black vintage t shirt and crocs or dr martens

# data[].attributes.body
I think it’s essential to have a waterproof jacket in your collection as the weather is very unpredictable.

This would be my choice as I prefer dark colours so black is perfect. I love black because it’s sleek and easy to style. The cut on the jacket also is nice with a more cropped fit to change up the dimensions of your appearance.

The branding and placements is unorthodox in position but works very well and helps with branding. The branding is also subtle which I prefer.

I would wear this jacket with black Levi’s jeans black Converse or CDG x AirMax and black/dark vintage t shirt.

I have chosen this particular outfit as it aligns with my style and taste. I started my search at Selfridges as I know I can filter through the brands to find ones I like.

Tekla is my favourite loungewear and homewear brand due to its style, quality and design.

I like the quality of the fabric and branding is simple and subtle. The price is a little high, but would pay for the above reasons.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my choice for trousers. I tend to start the search with the brand I like and which has the highest quality and good design.

I like the branding, design and quality all though it used to be much better. I am a loyal costumer and they are able to repair or replace items with their warranty system. This way I feel like I’m getting good value for my money when purchasing.

If I buy an item and find I’m not using it, I’m happy to sell it on and not be attached to it.

# data[].attributes.body
this would be my jacket of choice due to its classic style and fit. The brand is well known for high quality materials made for durability, which I am big fan of. I like the black colour and it can be worn more diversely. I also like the subtle branding.

# data[].attributes.body
Before today I would have visited this brands website when searching for a new jacket. I own 2 jackets already but are very lightweight. I wasn’t aware of the heavier weight jackets. I love that the designs and changing and evolving towards a more modern/youthful look as these options are important and appeal to me. I was surprised to see the design I chose as I know this brand has a sleeker and more basic designs.

# data[].attributes.headline
It was a little challenging to choose between 2 jackets but went with the brown because it’s different to the usual.

I’ll either mix this brand with vintage and appear/streetwear when styling an outfit. Or possibly a full activewear look is always a go if your on the move all day.

This experience changed my mind slightly, now knowing the brand offers a variation of designs using same materials.

In my opinion, the main values of brands are important and also the quality/type of materials being used. As well as the design and being ethically sourced makes big difference when buying into a brand/ product.

Innovation is also a big factor when choosing a credible and trusted brand. I like seeing new designs and features of the garment that can make your life easier when wearing. Whether it's a specially designated pocket or compartment on the garment (ie for phone etc) or zipped pockets and variations in adjustably to maximise comfort is essential. I also would base my loyalty to the brand/company buy buying an item first. If the garment washes well and is durable, it will solidify the integrity of the brand/products.
