Women's Business Clothes: Overcoats

Video Transcript

"To complete the business look, you'll need a nice overcoat. Now, of course, it is going to be cold, when you get out from work. It is going to be six, seven or eight o'clock at night. So, I have on the light version and Patricia has on the dark version. I am obsessed with pea-coats and I love them. This is the New York-style in me. This is a beautiful white pea-coat. Also, I love the belt because it gives you that waistline. It gives that sense that, "I still feel thin, after I come out of the office". It is very classic and you can wear this over absolutely any color suit. It could be brown. It could be black or it could be gray. Now, Patricia loves dark colors. She has dark hair, so this brown coat looks absolutely beautiful on her. It has the fur trim, which I absolutely love, because it just makes you feel like you're wealthy. It says, ?We need to get that promotion". At least, I think that we need that promotion. Also, this is a classic button style. It has the three buttons going straight down the middle. She has the buttons and I have the belt. So, it is a different look. This is wool shearling, so it is for colder weather. It's for, you know, when you are in New York or you are in cold places, this will probably be the way to go. If you are in California and you?re have more of a light climate, you might want to wear the pea-coat. The pockets are key, also, because you may want to put your hands in your pockets, if you don't have gloves. It is a great coat. If you want to carry your briefcase, you can hang it onto your arm. Either way, you can get an overcoat, like Patricia's or you can get a pea-coat, like mine. Just make sure that you have a suit jacket jacket with you. The length of the suit jacket is important, too, because usually they come down about three-quarters. Now if you have a jacket/coat that is too short, your blazer underneath is going to stick out from under the coat. So, you want to make sure that the coat covers the suit."
