Perfect winter wear

Perfect winter wear

The cooler days are now upon us, and you might find it’s time to search for the perfect outerwear to complement your outfit, look no further it’s official, the overcoat is the staple wardrobe piece for Autumn/Winter 2022.

You might be wondering if the overcoat is just for formal occasions, but it’s actually an excellent buy providing fabulous cost-per-wear with its versatility for the colder months. The overcoat is designed for colder weather, utilising thick, heavy material, but it can be worn both formally and semi-formally, jeans may not be your first thought for under a classic overcoat, but by selecting a three-quarter length in a lighter shade, the effect can be quite striking.

For a more formal look, a single-or double-breasted overcoat can be worn over a suit, with or without a jacket depending on temperatures.

The term "overcoat" was designed to describe a warm piece to be worn over your entire outfit.

So what size is best? When trying-on your garment it’s important to remember that you will potentially have a suit underneath and this takes up space, it’s always better to go too big than too small. But as it’s a long-term investment, when fitting your overcoat, trial it with a variety of garments underneath to ensure it’s the correct fit for you. If you generally wear a size 44-inch chest then the overcoat will be sized accordingly, and a size 44 overcoat should be the right fit for you.

How to wear it: Leave the coat open for a more casual approach and closed for a more solemn occasion.
