Zip your way to the coolest zipper jackets for men around by checking out this awesome line up with only the hottest brands and styles. We know you love a good zip up coat for its versatility, and to be frank, convenience! But, there are definitely ways to do this comfortable, easy look without losing points on your style. This classic style is one that can be done in many ways. In fact, we've found a huge range of looks, to satisfy just about anyone's personal style from some of the best brands around. So, whether you're a Banana Republic kind of a guy, or err more on the side of Billabong or Coogi, we've definitely got the right kind of zipper jacket for men...just for you!
For those of you with a more traditional or business-oriented style, we're opening with our favorite pick from Banana Republic. Their 'Suede Zipper-Detail Jacket' offers a great take that easily works on the way to the office, all the way to the bars at happy hour. This one-hundred-percent suede coat boasts imported fabrics, two-way, full zip closure, and a button-tab at the neck for extra coverage on even the coldest days. We love the simple versatility of the two outer zip pockets and single interior one (just for you more valuables.) The zipper cuffs make for a seriously clean, finished look that works well with your favorite pair of jeans and boat shoes. If you aren't sure about what to pair this fabulous outerwear with, look to match it up with your favorite light sweater, or double up with a shirt from Banana Republic. (You can't really go wrong with coupling this brand together!) Available in cobblestone, the color is the ultimate in neutral, and can definitely carry itself with black slacks.

Taking things a completely different direction, we're moving from Wall Street to Main Street with Coogi's 'C69 P.E.Z. Zipper Nylon Jacket.' Boasting a totally different style and moving to a different beat, this cool coat is nylon in construction, black in color, and adds a few zippers for style (and function!) Accented with slight touches of neon green, this funky coat boasts two diagonal zipper chest pockets, and one along the bottom of the coat. We love the zipper closure at the collar for an easy on/off transition. The flap pocket on the left sleeve looks cool with eye-hook closures around it, and it perfectly balanced by the similarly-sized Coogi Logo along the right sleeve. Plus, for those of you whose hands tend to get chilled, not to worry: the double hand pockets with zipper and button closure will keep you warm. Taking on a completely different vibe, this mesh-lined coat is best with jeans a white t-shirt, and your favorite pair of motorcycle boots.
If you like the casual feel from Coogi, but tend to more of a beach look, Billabong's 'Luda Zip Hoodie' may be the perfect pick for you! This cool, casual zip up is perfect for rolling out to the beach on a foggy morning, or early afternoon walks. Taking things one more new direction when it comes to fabric, Billabong's style takes on a track-like retro quality with its polyester hooded shape and style. Boasting a chest wave badge and blue striped print at the top of jacket, and bottom two-thirds a solid black, we love the fun, relaxed feel of this look. Couple this chill choice with khakis or jeans and your favorite pair of tennis shoes or moccasins, and you'll be all set for a fun (and fashion-forward) look!
