Tips To Choose A Long Coat

I thought it would be a smart thing to start with a Tom Ford long coat photo. Because this coat make you want to have one like this even though you don't like long coats at all!

I like long coats on men - especially for formal outfit - if they don't look like Blade, the vampire slayer :) 
So... How long is too long?

(In this post you can also find great long coats from the best designers, and also great ones under £ 150. Scroll down to see the suggestions)

BASICS:

• First rule is: Make sure that your long coat is at mid-thigh. It shouldn’t touch the ground. Especially if you’re a short guy. In fact if you are shorter than average try the ones that are on the level of just under your hips.
• Second rule: This is the only outfit that I don't recommend you to go colourful. Patterns are ok but not a bright solid colour!

A top trend for this season, the long coat is not to be chosen lightly. For the ideal length with details that make all the difference, The MenLookTribune revisits the most important points to keep in mind.

For Autumn-Winter 2013, it will literally invade the podiums of the major clothing stores: the long coat, which brings chic and nobility, but in reverse, finds itself as one of the top favorites of men’s fashion trends for the season. Ideal to cover you in the coldest temperatures, it remains a large investment – if not a primordial one – for this winter. But durable usage means choosing a coat with attention to the tiniest details for fear of needing to change it after one month.

THE LENGTH

The long coat of the contemporary man doesn’t touch the ground – far from it – the majority will wear the long coat at mid-thigh. At this length, the shortest of us won’t have any risk of seeing their silhouette minimized, and the tallest will see their silhouette enhanced without much effort.

WHICH FABRIC ?

A long coat means warmth, but also lets the body breathe: to fulfill these conditions, natural materials like wool and cashmere are supposed to be the best possible options. For those who are more sensitive, add to the mix a collar or fur lining, ideal for remaining warm, or even add a quilted vest under your long coat.

THE DETAILS THAT MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE

Once the length and fabric conditions are met, the choices still remain vast: in order to differentiate, the brands don’t lack imagination in creating the long coat unique to their genre, distinguishing themselves with subtle details which make all the difference. A few of the accents really hit the mark: the oversized collared coat, the twin fabric coat, and the camel remain the main victors of the season.

Looks That You Can't Go Wrong With!

Inspirational Street Looks (Picked For You)

If you are confused about the new trends or just figure out what to wear, here are some Inspirational Styles that you can't go wrong with!

• Chinos are not very different from jeans. They look their best when worn with a blazer or waistcoat.
• Casual shirts are the best choices to have a casual smart look which works for both weekdays and weekends. Make sure they fit you in the neck and sleeves. According to fashionbeans editor; you should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between your neck and collar and when you turn your head the collar should stay still.
• When it comes to sport jackets or blazers, they must fit your body PERFECTLY. It’s a common knowledge to try on the size below what you normally go for.

From LEFT ---> RIGHT

1. Tucci Bewley & Ritch Mens Mocha Burgundy Chinos £60 £30 
2. New Mens Superdry Commodity Blazer Jacket  £74.99 £44.99 
3. Uniforms For The Dedicated Midlake Blue Flecked Fleece Jacket £143.65 
4. Original Penguin Penguin Men's Nathaniel Beanie £20 
5. Men's Paul Smith London Speck print slim fit shirt £145.00 - House of Fraser 
6. Howick Men's Amplefourth Printed shirt £49.00 - House of Fraser
7. Paul Smith Men's Tapered Burgundy Twill Chinos £119 £84 
8. Richard James Beanie Bobble Hat £145 

• For knit jumpers or cardigans, make sure that they aren’t so tight nor too chunky for a slim look. It should be not tight to layer a piece underneath but are cut slim through the sides. For me; round neck pullovers are always preferable than turtle necks. 
• Bomber jackets are on-trend this year and they are perfect pick for a weekend look.
• Beanies and scarves… The statements accessories for men. You can never go wrong with that in winter. Just make sure they are huge and chunky. :)

From LEFT ---> RIGHT

8.  Trussardi Contrast panel bomber jacket £740 

This photo (look) is one of the greatest example to show the importance of an accessory for men. The scarf... I can only see the scarf here. LOVED IT! WANT IT for myself too... It's unisex. Statement scarves guys... Statement scarves...

How to Pull Off a Great Pair of Colourful Socks Successfully

Thank God that it has been a while since men don’t wear only grey, black, or navy colours but started to fit themselves in more colourful style. But there are still some men who can’t let the classic colours go. For those I recommend colourful accessories and socks!

(In general nobody gives the attention to socks that they deserve yet they’re central to overall comfort in several ways) 

My fetish for shoes (I can’t help it. I’m a woman. It’s in my DNA) made me passionate for socks too. Believe me; when you sit down and show off your ankles in winter, socks are as important as a tie, bracelet or even a jacket! So stop wearing the boring and start wearing the fun!

Happy socks for feet! 

Today I am going to tackle the subject of men’s colourful socks; giving you tips and looks of how to pull off a great pair of colourful socks successfully.
Socks may sound like a small detail but they can serve to pull an outfit together. Plus; details in your style reflect your character, remember?

The key is...

• Prints and patterns are this season’s big thing so why not use it for socks! The key is; don’t match the pattern of your socks to a pattern already in the rest of your look. For example, if you’re wearing a printed shirt, cardigan or trousers go with plain socks. You can still wear a colourful socks but without a print. Use the printed/ patterned socks only when you are in a solid-coloured look. 

• If you’re wearing navy, it’s perfect time to wear a pair of orange striped socks! (Yellow hues are acceptable too)

• Contrast or compliment your socks to fit with your tie, bracelet or an any accessory. Contrast with the trousers are more acceptable. 

More Happy Socks...

The rules regardless of colours 

1. Your socks should match one another and not have holes or visible stains. 
2. Your socks must match your pants but shouldn’t be in the same colour. Mind the word “match”. 
3. White socks are to be worn only when doing physical activities. (If you are not Michael Jackson)
4. If we can see both sock and flesh, then I’m afraid the socks are just too short.

More Happy Socks...

Some things are meant to stand out

• Your business/formal outfit doesn't have to be boring! Add some fun to your look with your socks!

L O O K OF THE D A Y by Marc, Christopher, and John! :)

Here is a “Look of the day” for students or freelancers and “Weekend Look” for those who are at the office during the weekday.

1. Jeans, Marc Jacobs. Marc knows the fashion! I already LOVE his women’s collections, and I also do LOVE his men’s collections. To be honest, his men’s collections are better than women’s sometimes. When it comes to jeans, let’s be adventurous and leave Diesel aside for a while, huh?

2. Jumper, Christopher Shannon. Knitwear is already a trend that we know. If you look for a ‘statement knit’ here it is! It’s cool, simple, and perfect!

3. Boots, John Varvatos. When it comes to shoes/boots women know better! So hear what I say here… If you want to buy shoes/boots remember that there isn't any cool style with cheap shoes.

Fashion consultant, cycling enthusiast and designer – Lorenzo Martone knows a thing or two about combining style and practicality. Since launching Martone Cycling (known for their distinctive red bike chain), Lorenzo has assisted in the rebirth of sports luxe with Karl Lagerfeld and Olivier Theyskens both big fans of his bicycles. Here, he shares with Harvey Nichols his three current must-haves to get him from day to day.

1. Doberman printed bomber jacket, Givenchy – I am so in love with my dog Mia that I designed the logo of mycycling brand around her face. I love anything dog-related, especially when it’s Givenchy!

2. Leather Gloves, Paul Smith Accessories – Given that I refuse to let the changing seasons stop me from cycling, a good pair of leather gloves is essential to avoid arriving to work with frozen hands.

3. Neroli Potofino EDP, Tom Ford – I try to get away for some sun whenever I can during the winter, but even when I’m in the middle of a New York snowstorm this Tom Ford fragrance always reminds me of summer in the Mediterranean.
