On a recent trip to Uniqlo's new Bryant Park store, I stepped out of my dressing room in a windbreaker from the brand's latest collection with the designer JW Anderson—only to find that two other editors from my team were trying it on, too. Through some shared team-style osmosis, we all decided it was our must-have spring jacket.
Officially dubbed the "Windproof Stand Blouson"—and technically made for men—the piece comes in three very wearable colors: a preppy navy blue, a creamy yellow-beige, and a sleek olive green. It's crafted from a lightweight nylon shell and features bungee-chord drawstrings at the waist for added shape. The "stand" in its name refers to its funnel-collar design, which also houses a secret hood for discreet functionality in wetter weather. Despite its real-world appeal, it's effortlessly stylish, with a borrowed-from-the-boys mentality built in.
