With winter just around the corner, the mood for coats is slowly rising from the beginning of fall. Many people are already preparing thin coats like spring coats and winter coats.

What is the Best Coat for Autumn?

Autumn in Japan is generally defined as the period from September to November, when the hot and humid summer heat eases off, and although there are still days in September when the lingering summer heat remains, the mornings and evenings gradually become cooler, requiring a coat of clothing. October 1 is customarily considered to be the standard date for changing from summer to winter clothing, and late September, when daytime temperatures drop dramatically on rainy or cloudy days, is the best time to start wearing a coat. A thin, lightweight coat that can be worn over shirts, cut-and-sewns, knits, and other long-sleeved tops in place of a jacket, is easy to put on and take off, and can be carried under the arm without being bulky. A coat that is lighter and smarter than a jacket is sure to be an effective way to create an autumn look.

What are the best types of coats for fall?

A thin, unlined, single-piece coat is ideal for autumn. Of course, a spring coat can also be used as an autumn coat, or a three-season trench with a removable liner can be worn without the liner. Unlined cotton mod coats, nylon light coats, and outdoor-faced tech coats that are the epitome of modern gorpcore style are also strong options. While thick wool or padded coats may be uncomfortable to wear and look hot, wool coats are the best outerwear for fall if they are thin or unconstructed. If you want to create a sense of the season not only by the material but also by the color, we recommend coats in moist browns and deep reddish glossy colors that evoke the feeling of fall. For coats other than trench coats and stainless steel collars, which are usually in beige, choose darker colors or checkered patterns unique to autumn to differentiate them from spring coats, which are usually in soft and bright tones.

What are the three tips for a successful fall coat coordinate?

Autumn Coat Codes (1) “Wear a coat over a top in place of a jacket for a smart and stylish look.

Until December, when the temperature drops dramatically with the onset of full-blown winter, you can cope with the autumn temperature changes by adjusting your coat and innerwear. A smart coat that can be worn as a substitute for a jacket can be worn as the main item, creating a stylish styling that is completely different from the summer look. Of course, it is also important to use cotton or wool sweaters or cardigans, or to layer sweatshirts, sweatshirts, and shirts according to the temperature changes of the day. Especially on days when it is chilly even in the daytime and winter is in the air, it is a good idea to wear a coat over a jacket and enjoy the fashionable fall season by taking various layering approaches.

Autumn coat coordination tip 2: “Use an autumn coat with a relaxed silhouette, such as oversized, drop-shoulder or raglan sleeves, to create a sense of modernity and seasonality at the same time.

This is an elegance that resonates with the freedom to mix and match styles and the comfort of being free from style restrictions, and is in tune with the trend toward a jandarless era. As for fall coats, the relaxed silhouette and effortless mood of oversized, dropped shoulders and raglan sleeves are the key to a fashionable look, bringing a sense of the present and the season to your outfits. In particular, oversized coats, which enhance the ability to layer, provide ample space to creatively express items to be worn in and create depth with a variety of textures and tones. For a more trend-conscious look, pair with wide or flared pants or baggy jeans.

Autumn coat coordination tip (3): “Use monotone items to create a chic and sophisticated look.

For a chic and sophisticated fall coat styling, pairing with monotone items is a great way to achieve this look. By choosing a black or gray coat and combining it with a monotone coordinate, an urban and sophisticated styling can be completed. To differentiate from the usual monotone coordinates, it is interesting to use small accessories with a hint of color to break the harmony and refresh the impression.
