A good jacket is an essential for any wardrobe. It’s a classic go-to look that is effortless (just throw it over anything!) yet put together, providing structure and a little formality to whatever you’re wearing. When it comes to smoking jackets, you don’t want to look boring in basic black, but you also don’t want to look like you live at the Playboy Mansion. From simple to fanciful feathers, wild to literally smoking, these styles make the cut.
