Winter Coat Guide: Everything You Should Know

Winter is just around the corner and if you live in a snowy climate, you’ll likely be on the lookout for a new winter coat. These days, there are so many choices. Do you want a pea coat for a dressier occasion or a puffer jacket for more warmth? To help answer questions like this, here’s what you should know about your coat wardrobe:

How many winter coats do you need?

If you’re sporting the same winter jacket over and over again, it’s time to add a few to your closet. Fashion experts say every guy should have four coats to make it through winter. Which ones are best? With these four coats at your disposal, you’ll be able to cover just about every occasion:

  • Peacoats

Originally designed for sailors in the 1800s, peacoats are now a staple in every guy’s winter wardrobe. They’re casual, yet they can be dressed up for a more formal occasion.

  • Puffer jacket

If you’re ever in snow, you need a puffer jacket. These kinds of coats, which are filled with down feathers that tend to “puff out,” are warm and functional for chilly days.

  • Bomber jacket

A bomber jacket is yet another piece of clothing that was borrowed from the military; this time from pilots. The coats have a roomy fit in the body with tapered cuffs on the sleeves and offer a classic, casual look. It’s a great choice for a date or a dinner out with friends.

  • Wool overcoat

For those who work in a fairly dressy office setting, a wool overcoat is a good idea. This coat stretches down to the knees, has pockets for utility, and closes at the waist with buttons. It’s a warm choice, especially since it covers your butt, yet it has a dressy vibe too.
