A lightweight unstructured overcoat in washed ecru or pale stone worn over the simplest possible summer base — a white tee, straight trousers, leather sandals. The men's outerwear editorial for the transitional days of May when it's warm enough to not need a coat but you wear one anyway because it looks right.

Salt Coat: A Lightweight Unstructured Overcoat for Summer
Best men's lightweight coats work hardest in that in-between weather, when a simple layer makes the whole outfit feel more intentional. This edit pairs easy pieces like the waffle-knit polo and linen trouser with a Hickory Stripe Work Shirt, cashmere crewneck, and polished driving shoe for a relaxed spring wardrobe. If you want to keep browsing, I also put together The Double-Breasted Coat Means Business Again and The Ganni Trench Coat Edit.
