Mens pea coats
are very popular this season and a must-have in your wardrobe. The classic mid-length style
is adaptable to almost any fashion trend and is sure to make this winter coat a favourite for years to come. Pea
coats were originally produced in the 19th century as part of the uniform worn by naval sailors and have since been
adapted by fashion designers around the world to become one of the more fashionable coats worn by civilian men the
world over.
Modern designs have generally stayed true to the
classic style of the original navy pea coat and similarly, a heavy wool is the fabric most commonly used. But
as the popularity of this style of coat grows, lighter fabrics are now more commonly available which enables the
mens pea coat to be worn all the year around.
What is particularly attractive about pea coats
is that they are suited to all body shapes. With this in mind, however, there are still a few things that you
should consider before purchasing.
Tips for Buying Mens Pea Coats
1. Length
For the shorter men I would go with the traditional hip-length coat or even the
shorter waist length jackets which look great on younger men. For taller guys you can carry off the newer range of
long pea coats that are available. If you have a slim build then by all means go for a belted pea coat but if
not, discard the belt if it is included.
2. Fit
The fit should be tailored but not too bulky. You want your pea coat to show
your body shape when done up but without appearing too tight. It is wise if trying on coats out of season
that you allow a little spare room underneath for extra layers.
3. Color
Navy and black are the traditional colors but increasingly browns, greys and even
greens are becoming fashionable. For those of you who like to stand out from the crowd then consider the
range of plaid, tweed and herringbone fabrics that are available. For a dressed down more casual look then
the hooded pea coat is another great option.
4. Accessories
So you have decided on which mens pea coat is right for you. How about some
accessories to finish the look? Go for a winter cap or hat in a complementing fabric and definitely consider
a color co-ordinating scarf for that extra classy look. Leather shoes of course and your mission is
accomplished.
