Topcoats
The truth of the matter is that an elegant topcoat is just as much an integral part of a man’s wardrobe as his every day suits, his blazer and tuxedo. The long and short of it is that a trench coat just doesn’t do it. It can never set the tone or provide the warmth of a topcoat. Nor should a trench coat replace a topcoat even in warmer climates.
With the frequency of intercity and intercontinental travel, a man going from a warm climate to a cold one says a lot more about himself and his priorities if he is armed with a topcoat.
