The Appeal of Unstructured Jackets
There’s a quiet revolution happening in tailoring...the move towards unstructured jackets. For many, the word “tailored” conjures images of firm shoulders and precise lines. But tailoring can also be soft, fluid, and easy to wear. In Brisbane’s climate, unstructured jackets have become not just practical, but essential.
What Makes a Jacket Unstructured?
An unstructured jacket is defined by what it leaves out. No heavy padding in the shoulders, minimal canvassing, and often lighter linings. The result is a piece that drapes more naturally, moving with the body rather than holding it in place.
Comfort without Compromise
The great strength of an unstructured jacket is comfort. It allows airflow, reduces weight, and feels closer to a cardigan than a coat. Yet it still sharpens your look - elevating even the simplest shirt and trousers.
Versatility Across Settings
Unstructured jackets adapt easily. Pair one with tailored trousers for business casual, or with chinos and loafers for weekends. In lighter fabrics and colours, they are summer’s answer to the need for polish without heat. In darker shades, they still hold their own in more formal environments.
Fabrics That Shine Unstructured
Linen, cotton, and tropical wool work beautifully in this format. Without heavy padding, the texture and weave of the fabric are allowed to speak for themselves. A linen jacket with a soft shoulder, for example, captures both ease and refinement.
Style with Personality
Because unstructured jackets sit somewhere between formal and casual, they offer a chance to show personality. Patch pockets, subtle patterns, or lighter colours all find a natural home here. It’s tailoring that feels less about rules, more about expression.
A Modern Approach to Tailoring
The rise of unstructured jackets reflects a shift in how we live and work. Less time in boardrooms, more time moving between different environments. Brisbane’s climate only reinforces the case. A wardrobe with one or two well-cut unstructured jackets feels prepared, adaptable, and confident.
If you’ve been considering a jacket that combines ease with refinement, an unstructured cut may be the perfect place to start.
