There is nothing that can complete the look of mens suits quite like the perfect topcoat. On the other hand, the lack of a proper coat (such as wearing a sporty winter coat meant to be worn with jeans) can really take away from the polished look you are trying to present. In order to complete your look and have the confidence a well dressed gentleman deserves, a topcoat should be added to your winter wardrobe.
Types of Men’s Topcoats
Topcoats, just like mens suits, come in a variety of styles. They can be manufactured from wool, cashmere, or a combination of both. The finest of these fabrics come from Italy. If you are looking for quality, then Italian wool cashmere is the height in high-quality fashion. Italian wool will be more of an investment, but well worth the price.
These three-quarter coats come in a variety of colours including:
- Black
- Navy
- Grey
- Beige/Camel
Other differences include:
- Classic three button, single breasted topcoat
- Six button, double breasted topcoat
Of course, these differences refer to the number of buttons on the front of the topcoat. The three button version is the most popular style and allows for easy use or removal. No one wants to be stuck undoing numerous buttons when a client is waiting or when arriving at a special social event. Remove your topcoat from your mens suits with the ease of and sophistication of a world-class businessman by wearing a three button topcoat.
Style
Don’t join in the debate between old style and new style. Those interested in sophistication are drawn to the style developed at the turn of the century. This involves the V-shape and notches in the collar of the topcoat, which is the perfect combination of elements to blend old world style, class, sophistication and professionalism.
Essential Elements
All topcoats should be fully lined to ensure protection from the elements. Those intended for use with mens suits need to have a wide, crisp shoulder and a deep V-shaped collar. If you are stepping out in one of your best mens suits or a tuxedo, this is the style of topcoat that should be in your closet. If you are using your topcoat for casual or spring, then you can wear beige. For suits it is advised to stick with black, grey and navy colours.
Utilize your inner pockets for your wallet and other important elements. Your outer pockets are more for show because your hands should be kept warm by your matching gloves.
Fashion rule number one in regards to outerwear: You can wear anything under a topcoat, but wearing mens suits with a parka or just any jacket off the rack is a major fashion faux pas. There is no way to dress up a parka. Impress your girl or your boss by adding a high-quality topcoat added to your wardrobe. It’s a wise investment and due to its classic style, you’ll be able to use it for years to come.
