The right type of outerwear is not only a practical investment, but also a great way to complete your look. Whether you’re invited to a wedding or formal networking event, make sure you follow these simple rules to look your best in a topcoat, trench coat or other type of outerwear.  

Ditch the jumbo jacket with a suit. Regardless of how good you look in a tailored dress suit, the wrong type of outerwear can ruin the look.  Never wear an oversized jacket with a nice dress suit. Avoid parkas and other puffy coats. Instead, we recommend a chic wool or cashmere topcoat during the winter months, and a classic tan or black raincoat in spring and summer months.

Invest in one classic black coat. A practical and flexible raincoat, every man should own one classic black coat. Select a three-quarter-length black raincoat and wear it over any formal or casual outfit such as a suit and dress pants or jeans. Remove the inner liner to wear your jacket year-round.

Consider the weather. When it comes to dressing warm during the winter months, bring out your wool or cashmere coats. During the spring and summer months, go ahead and show off your leather and suede jackets. Sport coats, nylon raincoats and traditional trench coats are all appropriate layering pieces year-round.

Take proper care of coats. To ensure that your coats remain wearable for years to come, hang them on sturdy hangers inside a garment bag. You can also place them in a plastic container with cedar balls. Taking proper care of your coat not only prolongs the life of the garment but also avoids unwanted odors.
