Men’s overcoats for smart winter wear
An overcoat is the finishing touch to tailoring, covering a suit or a jumper with a long, clean line. Compare men’s overcoats in black, navy, charcoal and camel, in single-breasted and double-breasted cuts. Follow the link to the retailer that sells the style you like, and check the length, fabric and lining on the product page. Details such as a concealed button placket, a notch lapel and a back vent give an overcoat its refined line, so look at these features on each product page.
Choosing a wool overcoat for men
A wool overcoat is warm, hard-wearing and drapes well. Look for a cashmere blend if you want extra softness, a full lining that slides over a jacket, and well-finished buttonholes. A black overcoat for men is the most versatile, suiting work and evening alike. The length typically sits at or just above the knee. For a more compact alternative, see overcoats. Navy and charcoal are more forgiving of dirt than lighter shades, while camel is a classic choice for those who like a softer tone against dark suits.
Wearing a mens long winter overcoat
A long winter overcoat looks best when the rest of the outfit is simple: a fine knit, tailored trousers and leather shoes. A grey or navy scarf adds warmth and a bit of contrast. Casual wearers can pair it with jeans and boots for a smart weekend look. If you want the same elegance for her, take a look at women’s overcoats. Leather gloves, a wool scarf and polished shoes add a finishing touch, and a lightweight knit underneath keeps you warm without making the coat tight.
Sizing and looking after an overcoat
Try to fit the overcoat over the thickest layer you plan to wear, such as a blazer. The shoulder seams should sit on the edge of your shoulders and the sleeves should show a little cuff. Brush off dust after wear, spot clean small marks and use a wooden hanger. Dry clean only when truly needed, since over-cleaning can wear the wool. Always empty the pockets before storing it, and use a breathable garment bag over the summer so moths and dust cannot settle in the fabric.
