The Best, Most Stylish Windbreakers For Every Budget, According to a Fashion Editor

And while I can’t wait for the festive break to recover and rest, it’s also made me think about what I want to change in my daily routine for the year ahead to prevent getting so burned out again. Top of my resolutions list? Spending more time outdoors. Bring on the long walks, the brisk strolls and rambles through the countryside. But if I’m going to be realistic about keeping this resolution, I need to be practical, and that means getting the right outerwear that’ll keep me dry and warm without weighing me down. Enter: the windbreaker.

Need convincing? Scroll on to see my top picks of the very best windbreakers.
