Greetings!
The temperature has dropped which means it’s time to break
out your outerwear. The fall is a great
time for coats because of the many options you can choose from. You can go with a classic look or you can try
something with edge, and still have the appeal of a gentleman. The fall allows you to put on layers and
create something daring yet fashionable. Here are a few coats which I think should be a staple in your fall
wardrobe.
The top coat is a classic but ever-transcending coat. The top coat has gone from the oversize coat
you’d see on your dad to a tailored fit that shows a gentleman’s sense of
style! A tailored top coat comes in
different colors and cuts to give you a variety of options, while making you
feel comfortable. One thing I love about
these top coats is that you can add layers underneath to show your own
personality! If there is one coat you
should have, make sure it is a classic, tailored top coat.
The bomber jacket is another classic which should make way
into your closet. Think Tom Cruise Top
Gun but slimmed down. The bomber jacket
was made famous by pilots but now has a street appeal that catches eyes. The bomber jacket presents an edgy look, but
can still be worn in an eloquent way.
When you’re going for a calm and relaxing day, try a canvas
military jacket. This jacket is fun as
it shows a relaxing side but still presents class. The military jacket can be worn during any
time of the day or even at night if you’re out with the fellas. Try adding different layers to this jacket or
even a scarf to present a different element.
The last coats I want to mention are not exactly coats, but
outerwear which are great for the fall.
One is the zip hoodie. The
zip hoodie is comfortable, simple, and allows you to be flexible. It looks great with a t-shirt, jeans, and
boots. This look is very laid back and
leaves you comfortable in this fall weather.
The last is the cardigan. A
cardigan is not a coat per say, but it can be used as outerwear to add that
certain class to your outfit. The fall
weather allows you to wear a cardigan without covering it with another
coat. A cardigan is classy and can be
worn to just about any occasion!
Gentlemen, the fall presents us with an opportunity to think
outside-the-box and show off what you’re wearing. You do not just want to throw on any coat as
that coat may throw off your whole outfit.
Wear your coat with a purpose!
And gentlemen, remember to make sure you are comfortable even though you are putting on layers. One of the worst
things you could do is throw on an exquisite outfit and look uncomfortable in
fit. Trust me; your vibe will rub off on
whoever meets or sees you. Lastly, remember
to stay in a “Gentleman’s frame of mind.”
Until next time…
A Gentleman’s Mentality,
