Winter Mens Coats: The Right Choice

As the winter approaches, long mens coats have been becoming more and more popular. Primarily, its purpose is to keep the wearer warm despite the cold weather but nowadays, styles, designs and colors are also considered along with its functionality. As you feel the cold winter wind breeze through you, you may consider new mens coats to protect you from the cold.

There are several things a man must consider when buying mens coats. But one important p‌oint he has to remember is that coats are different from jackets. Jackets are shorter compared to coats as they usually rest on your hips and works very little in keeping you warm while coats end approximately between your thighs and knees. Also, jackets cannot be worn over your heavy sweaters while coats are usually worn over them. Coats are more preferred during winter since they are made from thicker and more natural fabric that keeps you cozy and comfortable. Below are some tips on how to choose the right winter mens coats.

1. The Right Fabric

For winter mens coats, wool and cashmere can keep you warm the best. Leather and fur works great as well. Cashmere coats usually cost a lot and are easily destroyed so I suggest you go for fur or wool-based fabrics for lasting wear.

2. The Right Fit

You are buying a winter coat to keep you comfortable despite the weather so making sure that you have the perfect fit is one of the keys to achieve the right comfort. When choosing mens coats I suggest that you go up one size so that you will have extra space for movement. The shoulder length should lie just at the edge of your shoulder blades to give you a better profile line. To achieve better fit you can try to sit down, walk, stretch, raise your arms and bend down while fitting.

3. The Right Style

A lot of fashionable styles are available in various stores which also comes with different prices. As a recommendation you can opt for the militaristic natural colors like brown, gray or navy as these can be easily matched with jeans and corduroy pants. If you are going for the casual mens coats look you can add longer drapes with your sleeves just a little longer the elbow length. Double-breasted coats give you a slim shape while button and belt accents can prevent you from looking boxy. But if you want your personality to really shine through you can have your coat custom-made.

No matter what choice you make just be sure to take care of you mens coats properly so when the next winter comes you'll still have them to keep the chills away.
