Compared to elegant long coats and basic half coats, so-called “short coats,” which are popular short overcoats such as duffle coats and P coats, are excellent outerwear that are light and easy to wear. Of course, short coats exist regardless of style, including trench coats, stainless coats, and Chester coats, and they demonstrate their potential not only for adjusting the balance of length in styling, but also for emphasizing the silhouette of the bottoms and the undercoat styling. In this issue, we focus on the ” short coat ” and introduce tips on how to wear it, men’s coordinates that can be used as a reference, and recommended items!

How long is a short coat?
Generally, the length of a short coat is from the belt below the waist to the hips. Of course, even overseas, overcoats are defined on many websites as “outerwear with sleeves that extend below the waist,” and overcoats with a length that roughly reaches the waist are referred to as short coats.
What is the difference between a short coat and a jacket?
A short coat was originally an overcoat (the outermost layer for outdoor use), whereas a jacket was once called an undercoat and was clearly classified by length. Short coats and jackets usually differ in length, with short coats generally perceived as slightly longer than jackets.

How do you make a short coat look stylish?
As the name suggests, short coats are characterized by their short length among coats. Because of the short length and the large visible area of the bottoms, how to balance the pants silhouette is an important key to making the coordinate look fashionable. Whether you choose tapered silhouettes for a smart look or wide pants for a looser silhouette, it is essential to achieve a good-looking, non-cluttered look regardless of the bottoms you choose. Please refer to the men’s corset snapshots introduced in the next section to find your ideal silhouette balance.
Here are some examples of short coat outfits!

Coordinate ⑦ “When it comes to short coats that don’t look too formal, duffle coats are a great option.
The duffle coat, with its toggle buttons and hood, is a typical short coat that creates a relaxed look. It is also known as the coat worn by Paddington the bear. While it is an item with a strong naval image, colors other than navy and black give it a warm and friendly impression. Therefore, the duffle coat is a strong choice if you are looking to differentiate yourself from stylish or sporty short coats.
