Mens Wool Topcoats Have English Elegance In Their DNA

There is a lot of confusion in the air when it comes to dissecting the differences between an overcoat and a topcoat. American men like to call an overcoat a topcoat even though that’s a fashion blunder. An overcoat is a coat worn over another coat, so you don’t freeze your family jewels off. A topcoat is a coat you wear instead of a sports coat or a suit coat. And a topcoat is also a coat that can go over a suit. But you have to be careful what that topcoat looks like if you are going to wear it with your two-button light grey slim fit suit. Sure it’s easy to find mens wool topcoats that can work with a suit, but if that wool coat is too short, your style score goes straight to fashion hell. If you wear a wool topcoat with a suit, make sure the coat hits the bottom of your knees. In fact, the topcoat should be a little longer than that if you want to be on fleak. 

                                                       

Wearing a topcoat that has English elegance in its DNA can be a little tricky if you are wearing an ugly Christmas sweater and a pair of jeans that look like they went through the washing and drying cycle nonstop for a year. You know the jeans. Those fashion worn-in jeans don’t always make your topcoat choice proud. You might want to pull out that cognac brown leather topcoat you found on the MensItaly site, and give it a go with your fashionable shabby jeans. The leather topcoat hits your jeans well below the knees, and that will work for the fashion police you run into at the holiday casual party. 


The topcoat choices are endless on sites like the MensItaly website. But the good news is, the mens wool topcoats on the MensItaly site all come from Italy. That means your topcoat feel is soft, and it doesn’t itch like the American topcoats you wore in grade school. That’s the kind of catalyst you need when you buy wool topcoats. Itchy wool has bad juju in this age of soft and comfortable everything.
