How to wear a long coat easily?

After seeing so many combinations, I still have many doubts when it comes to how to wear clothes specially long coat.

In order to reduce your confusion as much as possible, in future matching articles, I will try to share some experiences with you on specific aspects such as color, style and version. I hope you will like it.

OK, this time let’s talk about how to wear long coats in autumn and winter.

First of all, the style of the coat doesn’t really matter.

The matching principles are all the same. As long as you master some basic techniques of wearing long coats, you can wear any long coat.

1. Control the overall proportion

If the size ratio is controlled well, 70% of the matching is completed.

1. Length

Skill is built on the right length.

In terms of style, long coats come in three lengths: medium-short, medium-long, and extra-long.

Although they are both called long coats, there are some differences in how they are worn.

• Medium to short (mid-hips)

Strictly speaking, this is not a long coat, the length is about this:

When choosing a coat of this length, it is best to keep it between the hips (pi) and gu, with a 2cm increase or decrease in length:

(Between the two red lines)

Although the styles are different, they all work in the same principle:

Suit jackets are basically this length:

Wearing a sweatshirt or T-shirt alone:

• Medium to long (mid-thigh to mid-knee)

Take the most common coat as an example.

Tall and thin people can imitate the length and wearing style of the father, the length of the coat is basically near the knee:

A large number of internet celebrities are simply imitating the styles of Korean magazines from two or three years ago.

In contrast, the Japanese clothing style is more worthy of reference:

For most people, it is best to keep the length 10cm~15cm above the knee, so that any body type can hold it:

(Between the two red lines)

The same goes for other coats of the same length:

• Extra long (knee to ankle)

The general length is controlled at 10~15cm below the knee, and when worn, it should be similar to the following:

This extra-long coat is very dependent on the model’s temperament and clothing design, so please do it according to your ability:

3. Sleeve length

The sleeves of long coats are generally longer, but should not exceed the base of the thumb (except for OVERSIZE):

(Slim sleeve length is between the two red lines)

Boys who are more thoughtful can imitate the way of wearing a suit, secretly revealing a little bit of the inner cuff (about 1cm).

4. Circumference

The circumference is mainly shoulder width and chest circumference.

It is impossible to take everyone’s body shape into consideration when designing the pattern of ready-made clothes. It is difficult to find a piece of clothing that is exactly the right size for you.

But this problem is not difficult to solve, we just need to grasp the key points:

If the sleeve length and length of the clothes are suitable, then the clothes should be slim-fitting if possible. If not, it is better to be loose than tight (too tight like Tony).

Wearing clothes a little loose is very popular at present:

Although the shoulder width and chest circumference are loose, the length and sleeve length are appropriate, so it looks very coordinated:

5. Control the length of the inner layer

If you button it up, the length of the inner layer doesn’t really matter. But if you don’t want to button it up, you still have to control the length of the inner layer.

The purpose of controlling the length of the inner wear is to control the proportion of the upper and lower body. You can understand it as the legs being longer than the upper body.

The ratio should be controlled between 46:46 and 55:55, which looks neater.

If the inner layer is too long, you can consider tucking the hem of the inner layer into the pants to show the waistline:

2. Common color combinations

I will only talk about items that everyone has, and will skip over less common colors and items this time.

1. Inner color

Wear black, white or grey, or wear the inner layer in a similar or identical color to the shoes:

2. Blue jeans

I’m not kidding, almost any color of long coat can be paired with blue jeans.

• Blue jeans + any color long coat

If you are a bit younger, you can wear canvas shoes and sneakers; if you are a bit tougher, you can wear boots; if you are mature, you can wear all kinds of leather shoes (high-top or low-top will do).

3. Various military-style long coats

Most of the popular men’s jackets on the market now are modified from military styles, such as N3B cotton jacket, MA1 jacket, Pea Coat, parka , etc.

Since military style itself is more masculine, it will be very harmonious when paired with tough items such as jeans or boots.

• Navy blue + dark blue + brown

Blue and brown are very classic menswear colors:

Leather shoes are more formal than work boots:

European and American street photography prefers leather shoes:

• Army green + blue + yellow

The most common combination of military green items is blue and yellow (adjacent colors).

Very hard items together give the overall feeling of being very straight and hard:

If you think work boots are too tough, you can pair them with canvas shoes or sneakers:

4. Black coat/down jacket/padded jacket

Do you have a black coat?

Although black coats are stain-resistant and do not need to be washed, and you can wear them in any color, there are still some tips to make them look good.

Here are some more practical ones:

• Black jacket + blue denim

The color combination of black on top and blue on bottom is surprisingly pleasing to the eye.

As for shoes, black or white is fine, and the inner color can be any color, black, white, gray, green, yellow, etc.:

It’s also pretty good to change to a blue jacket and black pants (the hat is really good):

Down jackets/padded jackets and coats are the same when paired together, but the feeling is very different:

• Black and white

Wearing all black with white shoes is fine, the jacket and pants are black, and the inner wear and shoes are white:

The same goes for blue and white:

• Black, White and Gray

The coat with a hoodie and white shoes is worth trying, and most fashion magazines and bloggers recommend it:

Okay, there were some more complicated color matching contents, but considering that you may not have such items, I will skip them this time and we can talk about them later.
