Try pairing your old peacoat with a chambray shirt, tie and cardigan, like I did here. And you can do it with just about anything. I’ve been wearing one since I was 15, and my grandfather and his Navy buddies wore them long before that. Some things will never go out of a style. Pair it with some skinny pants for a more modern look. Add some suspenders, but if you’re short, like I am, you’ll want to go with a thinner strap. Steer clear of crazy patterns and prints. If you’re worried about looking infantile, like me, I’d suggest going with a simple, solid color (like the gray one here). But this looks actually works really well for a company party or a holiday concert. I’m always hesitant to wear bow ties, for fear of looking like Jacob’s bar mitvah. This works especially well with a knit tie like this one from American Eagle. Once you get a jacket you love, you can pair it with literally anything, including a tie. The body should be tight, and the sleeves should not be at all baggy. You should be able to zip the jacket up, and it should hit just ABOVE the belt. But until I start making some bucks… I’ll continue to wear the hell out of this one. If I had my way, I’d own a Schott leather jacket like this one (I’m obsessed… Someday, I’ll get one). Mine is actually a Wilson’s Leather women’s small. I’m sure I’ve mentioned it a million times before, but a leather jacket that doesn’t fit well looks sloppy and super 80’s. It’s nothing fancy, but it fits perfectly.
#Dapper style how to
Stumped on how to pull off an outfit that’s dapper without trying too hard? Here are some of my suggestions. December is almost over, but the holiday parties are just revving up.
