I only thought about black as it seems to most 'office suitable' with my black shoes
i have a navy suit and a charcoal grey suit.
i do think a grey looks quite nice but i thought a black coat would go better with both suits

i looked at a car coat but im not too keen on the lack of design

is a pea coat too much for 'to work/office' wear?


Any other recommended styles of coats for 'to work' wear?

How much does that really matter as long as you don't come in wearing a bright orange sweatshirt?

If it looks formal-ish, then you're fine right? You're not wearing this thing during the day at work.

I think peacoat's look fine with a suit but the fit might be challenging.

I love barrel coats, but not with a suit. With a suit I would wear a long coat.

What kind of collar does this topcoat have? That is, what is the technical name for this style of collar?

Today I wore a tie over a sweater on purpose. Yes, I said it.

I'll have to post a picture later to see what y'all think, but I actually thought it worked because of the color scheme.

No need to post the picture. It didn't work.

Speaking if things that don't work. Lately I've seen a couple fellows around town sporting pocket squares in their shirt pockets. Please tell me this isn't a thing.

It's a thing. It's just not a good thing.

But at least it's better than saggin'. That's a thing, too. A thing to be avoided.

so besides a peacoat, is there any other suitable style coats that look stylish?

I'm pretty critical of how I dress and try not to look ridiculous without intending to. Although I totally forgot to wear a tie this morning...
In any event, I wore this with tortoise shell glasses.

Pass or fail?

Nantucket Reds in November, cuffs, collar, and tie outside sweater?

Is this a real question?

My two cents. I really don't like the tie over the sweater as a stand alone look, when I saw it with the jacket it looked better. Now to be honest I believe it looked better because it looked like a green shirt with a white collar. At closer range I am afraid I did not find it appealing...not repulsive but none the less not the best look.

 

[Veremund]

That looks ridiculous. Just laughable.

Thoughts on the Carmina captoes (simpson last). Is it necessary to size down by .5 from AE park/5 ave (5-last)

are they worth it for $300?
