Learn To Distinguish Types Of Men’s Trousers

Choose The Ideal Men's Coat

The variety of upper men's clothing for the cold season is probably not inferior to women's. Raincoats, coats, bomber jackets, leather, denim, quilted jackets, down jackets, and even fur coats - there's a lot to choose from, isn't it? But today, we will talk about a man's coat. This genuinely universal thing with a long history deserves some time to pay attention to.

The history of the coat began in the 18th century, and military clothing served as its prototype. The men's coat reached its peak of popularity shortly after the end of the First World War and has not lost its relevance since then. There are quite a few varieties of coats, and in this article, we will discuss the most popular ones. So, how to choose and how to wear a coat?

Man Style

Chesterfield

The progenitor of the classic coat, this model got its name from the Duke of Chesterfield, who was the first to modernize warm military clothing. The modern Chesterfield is a single-breasted black or dark gray coat, fastened with three buttons, sharp lapels, and a slit at the back. The length is about to the knees, the pockets are straight, patch, or inset with flaps. A bright detail is a contrasting color collar, most often black. Inexpensive models are velvet. It is combined only with strict suits and classic shoes, no jeans or sneakers.

Classic Coat

It can be single-breasted with a fastener of 3-4 buttons and double-breasted with 6-8 button models. It is characterized by a straight or slightly fitted cut and pointed lapels. The classic coat does not imply a bright color scheme. The most common colors are black, shades of gray, beige, and dark blue.

A classic black wool coat fits perfectly into a strict business style, worn with suits and classic shoes or boots.

Duffle Coat

A short black, dark blue or beige coat is a duffle coat close to the sports style. Its striking features are a hood and a fastener with elongated buttons, loops, and a checkered lining. Traditionally, a duffle coat involves bone or wooden buttons and loops made of leather or cord. This model is perfectly combined with dark jeans and massive boots. You can wear a large-knit sweater under the coat. Due to the length, the duffle coat is especially suitable for short men.

Trench Coat

It is also called the Barberry coat (named after the creator). The exclusive double-breasted coat has 6-button fastening, wide sleeves, and a slit in the lower part of the back. It can have a belt, whips on the cuffs of the sleeves, and epaulets on the shoulders. Initially, the trench coat was sewn exclusively from khaki fabric. There are black and dark blue models and even the traditional Barberry check.

This is a reasonably long model, below the knee so it will look great on tall men. It can be worn with a business suit and strict classic dark jeans. From shoes, we recommend monks and derbies. If you like canes and hats, you can safely complement the image with a trench coat.

Polo

A legacy of British golfers, this coat model is one of the most versatile. You’ll like a double-breasted coat of beige, black, or dark blue color, length above the knee, with patch pockets. This is a surprisingly harmonious combination of sporty comfort and relaxed elegant classics. Casual style lovers will undoubtedly appreciate this model.

How To Choose A Coat?

A few simple recommendations will help you choose your coat model:

·       broad shoulders - wide lapels. For men with a tiny physique, it is better to choose single-breasted models with narrow lapels;

·       a long coat is more suitable for tall people, and if your height is below average or you spend a lot of time behind the wheel, we recommend choosing shortened models;

·       the sleeve should reach the base of the thumb;

·       quality coats do not have horizontal seams.

The best fabrics for coats are cashmere, drape, and tweed. Of course, a cashmere coat will cost you a fortune, but with proper care, it will last for many years without losing its elegance. And in principle, you should not skimp on outerwear. It is a sign of status.
