Autumn, winter and early days of spring is the time when a warm outerwear is essential. There are plenty of available models in shops and they are divided into two groups: jackets and coats. The first is believed to be a perfect choice for every day while the second is the irreplaceable offer for the special events.
A comfortable and warm men's jacket is a very important element of a styling during cold days. But, there is something better and more universal – a coat. Despite appearances, they fit not only to suits, blazers and shirts with a tie. From various kinds of coats, the most popular are chesterfields, trenches, pea and duffle coats, which blend all positive assets of a coat and a jacket.
The classic chesterfield coat is the most elegant design. It reaches the knee, it has got a single or a double-breasted fastening and open lapels. A pea coat is a shorter cut and is usually manufactured from thick and woolen fabrics. Moreover, it has got a characteristic double-breasted fastening and open lapels. Another model, a duffle coat is also short and it may contain a hood. The revelation which differs it from others is a wooden toggle fastening. The last one, a trench coat was popularised in the beginning of the XX century and can be easily recognised for its wide lapel collar, a double-fastening and an additional waist belt.
Seeking for the perfect coat also means matching it perfectly to the silhouette. Long coats are rather for tall men. Double-breasted perfectly complement a look of a slim man because they make the silhouette look wider. On the other hand, loose designs greatly shape the silhouette and hide all body imperfections. The appropriately chosen coat, regardless of a design, adds seriousness and elegance even to a casual styling. Moreover, such a coat may boost your look up and create a stylish image.
A man's coat may be successfully introduced to stylings all year long. It looks stunning in more elegant outfits, but you can also match it with a suit or an odd jacket and trousers set. Try it with a shirt and chino trousers or jeans. However, the coldest months require replacing a shirt with a jumper or a trendy turtleneck. This is a reliable solution to create a modern and minimalistic look.
In casual version, men's coats don't lose their charm and, additionally, provide the styling with chic and classy look. It's worth to try matching it with jeans and a trendy sweatshirt or a longsleeve. Another current trend, fresh out of designers' workshops, is to wear a coat with the legendary design - hoodie.
Remember about choosing accessories and shoes. This perfect men's coat, which will be our everyday partner, looks good not only with low shoes but also with boots and trendy sneakers in various colours.
The more individual character of a coat's styling is provided by a scarf, a woollen hat or a colourful cap, which additionally breaks the whole look magnificently. What about a suitcase? A classic suitcase is always a solid choice, but you can also reach for a comfy casual backpack made of denim or other fabric.
