A men's windbreaker set is a hooded shell jacket and matching pants. Put it on and the outfit is done; split it up and you have two pieces that go with the rest of your closet. Here is how to choose one and wear it well.
Pick the fit first
Today's windbreaker sets are cut relaxed. The jacket sits boxy at the waist and the pants hang straight and wide over your sneakers. That is the look; a set that is too tight looks like old gym gear. Our Orbit Set is unisex and comes in S to XL. If you are between sizes, size up for a looser fit. All measurements are in the windbreaker set size guide.
Which color to start with
Not sure? Our windbreaker set color guide compares all seven.
What shoes to wear
A relaxed leg needs a shoe with some weight. Chunky sneakers, high-tops, and boots in colder weather all work. Let the hem sit over the shoe rather than tucking it in.
Three easy outfits
The full set
Jacket zipped, pants relaxed, plain sneakers. Add the matching beanie, like the Redline beanie or Mocha beanie, and the look is head to toe.
Jacket with jeans
The shell jacket over a hoodie with straight or baggy jeans. Good for every day.
Pants with a hoodie
The pants have an elastic drawstring waist, so they wear like a sharper sweatpant. Pair them with a heavy hoodie in a neutral color.
Looking after it
Cold wash, no fabric softener, hang to dry. Full steps in how to wash a windbreaker.
Shop all windbreaker sets.
Questions people ask
Do windbreaker sets run big?
Today's sets are cut relaxed on purpose. Compare the measurements in the size guide with a jacket you own rather than going by the letter size alone.
Can you wear the jacket and pants separately?
Yes. The jacket works over a hoodie with jeans, and the pants wear like a sharper sweatpant with a hoodie or tee.
What is the most versatile color?
Black. It splits with almost anything and hides wear best.
