Layering Top Coats For Men Is The Latest Fashion Trend In Europe

It’s true. Top coats for men are one of the hottest new fashion looks on the runways. The Italians seem to be the catalyst for the new look. The new top coat look is wearing more than one top coat at a time. Sounds like bulky bull when you first read that, right? But it really works well when one of the top coats is a grey and burgundy plaid short top coat, and the coat underneath it is a burgundy quilted liner. The Italians call that layering because your suit jacket is underneath the burgundy liner. That’s the fashion version of a Jersey Mike’s #7 sub on white. I mean. What a great idea. But you can’t forget the wrap around scarf just like you can’t forget the mayo and mustard on your sub.
                                      
                                                          

The sub analogy sounds a little lame. So let’s just say the layering idea is an old way to bring top coats for men back in the limelight. Sure. They are always in the limelight every fall and winter, but anytime a new street fashion catches on, Italian top coat designers start to work their magic. MensItaly and other topcoat designers start sketching and brainstorming. New patterns come into play, and that’s just the beginning. Top coat designers play with colors. And coat linings rise from the sketches in true designers’ form, and a new topcoat is on the way to the runways.


Pockets might get larger or smaller, and coat collars get wider on some new styles and narrower on others. The top coat stitching changes when Italian designers want to give top coats for men a little more detailing. Fancy stitching looks better on solid color top coats. Plaid coats change when the Italian fabric makers add new plaids and other shapes to their line.


This is the year of the top coat, but you can bet next year will be another year full of new top coat designs and new ways to wear them. Designers don’t want men to drift back into the 20th century, and they don’t want to eat their subs without the mayo and mustard either.
