We’ve held off long enough. Team SG has been (gently! kindly!) pushing workwear pants on you for a few seasons, but we’ve held off on the humble work jacket.

Why? Who knows. Maybe it’s the blue collar connotation. We didn’t want you to be accused of construction worker cosplay.

But the time is right to adopt this coat into your light jacket rotation! It looks great dressed down with jeans or chinos, and can provide a utilitarian alternative to your trusty chore coat.

Check out men’s workwear jacket outfits below, then keep scrolling to shop stylish options to scoop now.

Balance your workwear jacket with a sophisticated shoe

This look is a great example of how to mix a workwear jacket into your existing style. Dark jeans? Check. A well-worn loafer? Check. And you know Team SG loves a man in a tasseled loafer.

Skip the double-denim up top if that feels aggressive and opt for a crewneck sweater instead.

You’re not limited to tan or black for your work jacket. A cream color adds sophistication and elevates a standard outfit like chinos and a tee.

Yes, you can wear brown and black together!!

A workwear jacket in tan will always look right. Wear yours with a trendy wide-leg pant or go with a more traditional fee by pairing it with light wash jeans and a white tee.

Back in black

The Adidas Sambas sneakers and chain necklace elevate this outfit from functional to fashionable.

Say F it and pair your workwear jacket with camo cargo pants. Who’s stopping you!

A workwear jacket with a breast patch or embroidery is a fun way to add more personality to an outfit.

Keep the rest of the look thoughtful with stylish footwear like Wallabees or penny loafers to avoid giving off a gas station attendant vibe.

Go beyond solids

When it comes to stylish men’s workwear jacket outfits, remember that you don’t have to stick to solids.
