Topman Fall Outerwear: Dress, Semi-dress, & Casual
Topman can get a little weird. Maybe not as bad as ASOS can get, but they’re British based, their models can look a little underfed, and they sometimes take odd risks with classics.
Where they seem to stray the least is in outerwear. The prices are reasonable, and if you’re looking forward to putting on a new coat or jacket this fall, now’s a good time to invest. Here’s three of their better options that depending on the pick you could pair with your most expensive suit, or work-boots and a flannel shirt…
.
Pick #1 – The Black Wool Mix Overcoat – $160.00
Long enough to cover your suit jacket, and black so it’ll go with everything, Topman’s black wool overcoat is a safe but far from boring choice. It’s single breasted so you’ll look a little leaner, and the epaulets define the shoulders. Nicely priced at just $160. Wear it with everything.
Pick #2 – The Navy Wool Mix Peacoat – $160.00
The classic color for a peacoat is Navy, and if you’re willing to wear blue on the top and bottom this’ll go just fine with dark denim. 60% wool, all the right details, and like the overcoat, $160. Cropped short so not a good for wearing with a suit.
Pick #3 – The Navy Four Pocket Heritage Jacket – $120.00
Makes you want to put on some work gloves and rake up the yard. The Topman Heritage line gets serious points for working in classic details like matte snaps and corduroy collars. Coated Cotton.
I know its still somewhat “in” right now, but I just think that the first two would look so much cleaner without the epaulets. Especially the overcoat. The peacoat I can understand them being on. But that just killed it for me.
I agree with Jason. No epaulets :/
i also said this on a previous post regarding shirts that have too many epaulets, get rid of them, they look dumb on normal clothes.
Shirts, polos, and sweaters, I’m a no for epaulets. But on jackets and coats, they aren’t a deal breaker (for me). Check it out: The epaulet expansion started to really spread way back last fall.
I just bought the express double breasted military cardigan with the epaulets. I’m not a huge fan of them and I hate that all of express’ button down short sleeve shirts are that way. However, I didn’t think that it looked too bad on this particular sweater.
