Investing in a coat for winter – men’s fashion trends

Menswear — By admin on October 14, 2011 at 9:54 am

Buying a winter coat is a big investment, so you want one that is going to last, is on trend, but also a classic that will last more than one season.

If there is one classic look that will be bang on trend and a continuing favourite, it’s the pea coat. The 60s Mad Men style has been a huge trend in menswear and the pea coat is a definite classic look. Christopher Bailey at Burberry, for example, showcased the 60s trend with a modern twist in everything: bright colours, checks and camels. So for a new look go for a chic pea coat!

Another key look on the catwalks was military, with Chanel and Paul Smith all showing military style. Think colours like khaki, slate greys and navy blue with details like gold buttons, epaulettes and boxy cuts for military style. What’s more it is a really classic look that will see you through many seasons to come.

When it comes to patterns, tweed and checks were also really big on the catwalk. The outdoor, English country gent trend was huge on the catwalks and is perfect for autumn/winter, but add a modern twist as you don’t want to look like an extra from a period drama; instead go for a modern cut rather than a heritage style.

Of course a classic trench coat, overcoat, duffle or parka coat will never go out of style. The trench and overcoat were huge on the catwalks as the Mad Men look is still incredibly popular this autumn/winter.

For a more casual look try a duffle or a parka as these will once again channel that 60s look just with a mod twist. At ellos.co.uk they have a range of coats to choose from so if you want a new coat log on to find the right for you. In the Ellos catalogues buy now pay later is a great payment offer if you feel like treating yourself to one or a couple of mens coats, but you prefer to pay it off bit by bit, or all at once at a later date.
