Upgraded Trucker Jackets for Autumn/Winter 2016
A jacket is more than just an outer shell that protects against the harsh elements, it is un-sculpted marble, an unpainted canvas left wanting for self-expression and visual enticement. The trucker jacket, a menswear runway favorite this season, embraces the concept with designers unleashing their individual artistic expression in a whirl of unbridled pomp, circumstance, and flair.
1. Gucci
