If you are a fashion conscious man then one of the most important things on your personal agenda for this winter is certain to be getting yourself a coat that keeps you warm and looks amazing all at once.
The safest option, but not one that is boring in any way, is to go for a pea coat. With this in mind, we have looked at some top tips that will help you to find the perfect pea coat this winter, whether you are a man buying for yourself or a woman trying to make sure your man is dripping in winter style.
Why a Pea Coat?
The big thing about winter pea coats is that they are perfect for wearing with anything. Fashion, or should that be spending money on new clothes for each new season, is always better and easier to deal with when you can buy one item and use it for multiple purposes.
A pea coat certainly ticks that particular box. Whether you are wearing it to the office or down the pub with jeans and plimsolls on, a pea coat is going to look amazing.
Match Your Style
Many people think that all pea coats are the same, so when they decide to buy one it is as easy as just going into the store and picking up the first thing they see. However, pea coats aren’t all the same at all, and we do not want you to fall victim to this assumption.
Some pea coats are very casual and relaxed, some are the epitome of high fashion and will have belts and buckle detail, others are 100% formal and have office written all over them, while others are military style and look great. You then have to consider whether you want a traditional pea coat or you want to go for more of a Mac style that is waterproof.
By far the best approach to take here is to buy the things that match closest to your own personal style, even if you are buying something for the office. Why buy a corporate looking pea coat and look like everyone else? Buy what you like, and it will instantly lift your appearance and confidence.
What to Consider
The last thing you want is an ill-fitting pea coat when you are trying to disprove the myth that warmth and style cannot be bedfellows. When buying a coat for the winter, think about what else you’ll be wearing with it. Is your tailored jacket going to be underneath the coat? Do you prefer layering up beneath a shirt? Do you wear thick knits in the winter?
Asking yourself these questions are important, and if you do not consider them you can easily find yourself with a jacket that looks too small once you have everything else on. If buying clothes online is your favoured option, it is often a good idea to try a jacket on in a store as you would wear it, on the way home from work or when out with friends, so you know exactly what size you need.
Master these pointers, and you’ll find yourself with the best possible pea coat in your wardrobe this winter.
