Introducing men’s coordinates of the now-popular long coats in a fashionable way!

The current outerwear trend is toward short jackets that can be easily balanced with wide or baggy pants, and long coats that extend below the knee. Long coats, in particular, are perfect for elevating an adult’s style to an elegant level. In this issue, we focus on ” long coats ” and introduce styling tips, international men’s coordinates for reference, and recommended items from popular brands!

Which of the two roots attracts you more?The cool style of long coats as revealed by the two original styles

It is no exaggeration to say that a long coat is a style statement just by wearing it, but in fact, if we trace its roots, we can find two major types of coats. It is fun to think about how to dress with these roots in mind. First, let’s take a look at the prototype of each coat and introduce some noteworthy outfits.

Derived from the frock coat...Dressy Long Coat Style!

The frock coat has its roots as formal wear and fashion in urban areas. At that time, it was worn at social gatherings and in the city to maintain dignity, and was treated more like a modern suit or jacket than a cloak. The Chesterfield coat was derived from this coat and is worn for business and formal occasions today.

Long coats to be worn with dress styles such as suits and jackets are aimed at the Chesterfield coat, with its curvy cut to show off the body line and smooth, shiny fabric Chester coats with a smooth and shiny texture are the perfect choice to match with dress styles such as suits and jacket shorts. It is also a good idea to consider custom-made coats from Azabu Tailor and other stores, as well as to decide on a bespoke coat such as the BEAMS special-order chester coat by Master Tailor Fumiya Hirano.

Derived from the great coat...Military-oriented long coat style!

The ” greatcoat ” is known as a very thick, large, and warm military overcoat that has been around since the 17th-18th century. It is characterized by its heavy wool fabric, large collar, double-breasted, and extra-long length from below the knees to the ankles. It is said to be the prototype for the modern “polo coat,” the “British Warm,” and other gussied-up, thick, long coats derived from military uniforms, and has a strong aspect as a “tool” to protect oneself from the cold on the battlefield or during transportation.

The long coat of the military school is different from the elegant dressy long coat, and has a masculine and rugged mood. It is a simple yet elegant look. If you want to give it a masculine look, it is a good idea to enhance the work-military element with denim and boots. If you want to create an intellectual impression, you can also go with black slacks and loafers as shown in the snapshot below.

Long Coat Wearing Point 1Black or dark gray is a good choice

If you feel the hurdle is too high in adopting a long coat, it is a good idea to choose black, charcoal gray or dark navy, which are as conservative as possible in terms of color. Long coats have an overwhelmingly large “fabric area,” and bright or expansive colors tend to give the impression that the wearer is being forced to wear it. On the other hand, darker, contracting tones can tighten the lines of the body and emphasize the vertical effect (“I-line”).

Long Coat Wearing Tips 2'Low gauze lines' with an 80's feel is the current The mood is now.

The low gauze line that was popular in the 50’s and late 80’s is the current mood. The low collar lowers the center of gravity, creating a unique “looseness” in a long coat that would otherwise be stiff and formal. This low center of gravity is a perfect match for the oversized silhouettes that are the trend these days, and is a clear indicator of a fashionable look.

Long Coat Wearing Points 3A coat with a large area is a

Long coats tend to look monotonous because they cover most of the body. Therefore, it is effective to use this large area of fabric as a “canvas” and accentuate it with tops and accessories, such as a brightly colored knit from the V-zone or the front opening, or a scarf or bag to add a splash of color. The coat itself provides a large backdrop, so even if you venture into slightly flashy colors and patterns in the innerwear and accessories, it will not fight with you, but rather be established as a sophisticated “adult’s playfulness.

Long Coat Wearing Points 4

In wearing a long coat, the choice of bottoms is key to the overall silhouette. The current trend is to use straight, slightly flared, or wide pants that smoothly connect the volume of the coat to the legs. By having bottoms that have ” just the right thickness ” to keep up with the weight of the upper body, the overall center of gravity is stabilized and a beautiful vertical line is completed. The trend is to wear shoes with a little volume on the feet and to cover the hem of the pants.
