RUNWAY2YOURWAY: PEA-COAT-BOO






When you start to feel the chill of this upcoming autumn/winter weather, gentlemen you can turn your attention to the classic staple  the "PEA COAT".  This fashion staple has been seen on the fall 2010 runways of the world's top designers.  You can never go wrong with a  PEA COAT IMO!!! (in my opinion)

THE LOOK FOR LESS:

    The Pea Coat is always an essential piece for any man's wardrobe for this Fall/Winter and many more seasons to come.  I'm still obsessing over my American Eagle Wool Pea Coat that I had gotten two years ago on sale.  This must-coat is an ultimate timeless piece to have.  Here are a few in-a-bind Pea Coats inspired by the Fall 2010 runways:

Civil Society @Planet Funk: $44.63
Express Wool Pea Coat: $228.00
H&M Coat: $49.95
INC Mens Coat @Macy's: $89.00

Kenneth Cola Wool Pea Coat @Macy's: $139.00
Volcom Coat @Pacsun: $90.00

WORD TO THE WISE- TIPS on Wearing:

-Even though there are alot of cost effective options available, be aware Gents that you are going to have to invest in this piece.  It is truly worth the $$$!!!

- Look for  Pea Coats in neutral/classic colors like black, grey, brown, tan, beige, navy, etc.  This is an essential due to that it will allow you to use this coat for future fall/winter seasons to come.  If you decide to get a Peat Coat in a trendy color or print, you won't get as many wears as a classic solid tone.

-Also look for  Pea Coats made out of some type of Wool Blend, Heavy Cotton, or Tweed.  These materials will keep you warm during those chilly days.

-Ultimately WHY not wear a Pea Coat?  It adds a touch of class to any outfit from a casual everyday jean and sneaks combo to that dapper Frank Sinatra inspired two piece suit.
