1. What Are the Key Differences Between Men’s and Women’s Jackets?
Men’s and women’s jackets differ in fit, structure, and sometimes design details. Men’s jackets generally have broader shoulders and a straighter fit, while women’s jackets are often more tailored at the waist. Additionally, men’s jackets tend to have longer sleeves and a looser fit for mobility, reflecting different styling priorities.
2. How to Identify the Fit and Structure?
Men’s jackets have a boxier structure to accommodate broader shoulders and chest measurements. Women’s jackets are cut to fit curves, often nipping at the waist for a more fitted silhouette. Checking the shoulder seams and how the jacket hangs on the body offers a clear indicator of whether it is designed for men or women.
3. Which Side is the Zipper or Button Placement?
The zipper or button placement is a quick way to determine whether a jacket is for men or women. In men’s jackets, zippers are typically on the right side, while women’s jackets have them on the left. This distinction follows traditional fashion conventions and remains a consistent detail in modern menswear.
