Step 1
Look at your lifestyle and work. Think about how much time you spend outside working or walking and whether your wardrobe is mostly suits or casual clothes.
-
Step 2
Investigate overcoat fabrics. Microfibers and other synthetics are warm, but so are natural fabrics made from wool.
-
Step 3
Choose a size that fits and looks good but allows for layers underneath. A man's wardrobe versatility increases greatly with an overcoat that works for the workday and the weekend.
-
Step 4
Go for a classic overcoat style. Unless you can afford a new one every year, select an item that works for a few seasons.
-
Step 5
Check for pockets. Pockets in a man's overcoat, inside and outside, are a must.
-
Step 6
Select a neutral, dark color. Especially in a winter climate, you want a color that doesn't show dirt so the overcoat is not always at the cleaners.
