Look stylish in winter with men's coats
When winter is coming, you don't want to make the mistake of throwing on an old hoodie! Crisp, well-cut men's coats will keep you looking sophisticated and stylish wherever you're going. Remember that a coat is an investment piece; treated carefully, it should last you for several years. For that reason, go for classic styles. Winter coats are not the best place in your wardrobe to experiment with trends. Choose a simple, neutral colour that will look appropriate with most of your wardrobe. Hardy wool coats are always a good choice; they’ll keep you toasty and warm, and never go out of style. Generally, remember that short coats offer a more casual style, while longer coats often look more formal.
Classic coats that have stood the test of time
A pea coat is one of the most classic men’s coats you can go for. This double-breasted style originated in the navy and still has a certain nautical flair. You can play up its sailor background by choosing a pea coat in deep navy blue or go for a more modern touch with deep burgundy or olive green. Another style that will never go out of fashion is the trench coat; this is one of the best between-seasons coats. Choose classic black for a movie star look, or opt for camel – always the detective's choice! You can wear it belted when the weather's cold, or leave it open for a dramatic silhouette. For a casual look, it's hard to beat duffel coats, which looks great with jeans. However, this isn't really office-suitable. If you need your coat for workdays, it's better to stick to men’s overcoats instead.
Styling men's overcoats to look your best
If you're going to get just one coat, then choose a neutral colour that will go with most of the items in your wardrobe. Black is, of course, an absolute classic; navy blue offers an equally sophisticated alternative. Don't be afraid of lighter neutrals, though. Camel and beige coats are both good choices and will help lift your wardrobe if it mostly consists of dark colours. When styling men’s coats, don't forget your accessories. Keep your coat neutral, but choose a scarf that will add a hint of colour; you could even go for a print scarf in a plaid if you want a fun, youthful look. A sophisticated pair of leather gloves will finish your look for the perfect winter style.
