The Perfect Overcoat

PARKA
 
High-performance jackets help you weather severe storms. Even if you're just trekking to Star bucks.


DOWN JACKET
 
The down jacket is back from the dead. Opt for the newer slim me down versions and you'll avoid any comparisons to the Michelin Man.

CHESTERFIELD COAT
 
An overcoat cut slim with a hem that hits the knee will keep you warm without-weighing you down.


CAMEL-HAIR COAT

Polished and masculine, the camel overcoat complements everything from suits to corduroy.


PEACOAT
 
The pea coat now comes in a variety of colors and fabrics. Stick with lean, shoulder-hugging versions in classic blue, gray, or black.

DENIM JACKET

Jean jackets have Ieached icon status in part because of their versatility.
You can even wear one with a shirt and tie.

MILITARY JACKET

Military style has applied to coats since men rode horses into battle. Army-inspired jackets are as stylish as they are utilitarian.


BARBOUR JACKET

When a parka is too casual and a camel coat too formal, the functional and classic Barbour jacket steps in.

 
TRENCH COAT

Another military design adapted to civilian use: The trench handles the
as well as the wet.

MACINTOSH

If the weather report says rainy but warm, the Mac is indispensable.


TOGGLE COAT

A collegiate staple, the toggle coat-without the hood-can be grown-up. Use this casual overcoat to smarten up weekend looks.
