How To Wear an Overcoat Casually || Gent's Lounge Lookbook 2019

[@stephen1991]

I've been wearing overcoats casually for years, not only do I like the look, but judging from the compliments I get, so do others. I've three for formal wear with suits and four more casual ones for over a sweater, vest, or shirt. I agree that camel and navy are easy neutral colors, but I have a light gray lightweight overcoat that goes with about everything. Some I've had twenty years or more and still look contemporary. Keep up the good work guys.

[@gentslounge]

Thanks Stephen!

[@jamesmontoban1338]

Do you size down for the overcoats that you wear casually as well?

[@stephen1991]

@@jamesmontoban1338 I do, the more formal ones are a size up from my normal jacket size so to fit more comfortably, the “everyday” ones are in my regular size, as I’ll wear them with just a sweater, vest, or shirt under them.

[@jamesmontoban1338]

@@stephen1991 man, thanks for the info Definitely will take that into consideration. I'm new to wearing overcoat but I love the look. I'll probably have to get 2 sizes of the same overcoats, one size up for suits and one for casual wear.

[@JW-vx6zc]

These are timeless classic outfits guys !! perfect fit on you two as well.

[@tenob905]

Watching this vid make me want an overcoat. Both coats look fire

[@gentslounge]

You’ll have it for a long time!

[@jackross876]

I have the stiff formal kind, but I love the casual look. I'm definitely going to be looking for one on winter clearance.

[@gentslounge]

🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@tronnc17]

I took his advice on sizing down, and it worked out perfectly. Thank you.

[@TheFujiwuji]

You guys have a great vibe, really appreciate your videos.

[@gentslounge]

Thank you!

[@qarhsi]

it's really awesome when the two of you come together to shoot the video. reminds me of the old gents lounge. i understand that blake has other priorities so george runs the channel more from his end, but definitely more pleasing to watch you both together. cheers!

[@kevwilliams1]

Hi guys, great video My overcoat arrived and i sized down. When I put it on its slightly too small for me as it won’t close shut. Is that an issue in your opinion? It looks good with a scarf like you wore in this video. Does the overcoat have be able to close though in your opinion pls. Thanks

[@robertcook5049]

I just bought my first overcoat and planning on buying a new one every year for at least 5 years

[@SoydeCubaCompay]

so, What is a Coat then ?

[@chmutube]

Miss your vídeos guys.

[@gentslounge]

We miss it too

[@Hassan-se3vx]

I have overcoat navy color. I am not fit and I brown what do you suggest as a shirt or something to wear ?

[@eastcoastgaming8652]

Have a charcoal gray driver over coat already, but that Camo color is fire! Another great video, thanks guys.

[@gentslounge]

[@oneflicksla]

What are your thoughts on overcoats with baggie streetwear jeans??

[@Judge_RR]

Blake, you did a very good job in this video.

[@debabratanath2731]

Hi ....I always get confuse while buying long coat since I prefer a fitted clothes even a coat .what all I should keep in mind .Does it have any disparity between man &women

[@dhanushgirish8651]

Great video, I love my classic overcoat but I really want to get one which is also water resistant (hate the puffer look), any recommendations?

[@Sci-Fi_Fan296]

Thanks for the tips guys. Appreciate the info. Keep up the good work.

[@umarrasmi5016]

Can you wear an overcoat in summer ?

[@Timpala44]

What color of overcoat would you suggest for someone who always wears black suits and mostly black and gray sweaters and pants?

[@onix840]

Hey man you think a black coat match with black timberland boots?

[@SirWallton]

I really love overcoats . When summer is turning into fall I really look forward to bring out the coats. I bought a camel coat on sale and a pattern charcoal colored coat a size down. Love them both

[@gentslounge]

Awesome!

[@mursenary4]

Digging it gents. Love my camel overcoat over a full black outfit. Black jeans, black sweater, black leather chelseas.

[@gentslounge]

Perfect

[@sidullah858]

I'm a huge fan now of the overcoat 👍

[@mayankgarg1258]

Thanks for making this cool video!

[@gentslounge]

Glad you liked it!

[@rustcohle3803]

I'm short but I'm still gonna wear a trench man, especially when it's cold or rains. It fits slightly above the knee, and has all flaps you can imagine, storm break on the back and stuff. Good coat, not water proof but it works

[@thehamburgergod5543]

Same, im short and bought a coat that will reach my knee

[@gentslounge]

If you feel good in it that’s all that matters.

[@jaimerivera1898]

I'm 5'10 in shoes, can i wear a db overcoat?

[@unicaalae]

Great Video guys, quick question. What would you advise on the length of the coat. Above the knee or upto the knee on a camel coat?

[@gentslounge]

Above will make you look taller. Below will keep you warmer.

[@soulbruva3000]

What do you think about camel overcoats with hoodies? do they fit together?

yes its actually a nice street look if played nice. Just avoid thick hoodies, opt for something light and make sure the shoes match (converse, vans etc)

[@smasher981]

yes

[@TheBooban]

Hope you both travel somewhere snowy for winter content. My coat is like Blakes btw. But mine is better.

[@gentslounge]

Lol why is it better?

[@TheBooban]

Gent's Lounge 1:51 look at. Slow mo. Look at the arm. The shoulder material. The crease. The width of the sleeve at the wrist. The model the tailor used for that coat had orangutan arms.

[@TheBooban]

Gent's Lounge and just 3 buttons?

[@michaelstratton6701]

I have a long over coat, what's your take on that,dark grey, I like it

[@boxerdo8810]

Great vid guys! Can I wear this to college? (as in UK; Highschool) with a black back pack, but got; adidas letters on it? Or I've got hand pack same color same brand letters lol

[@IhmePaskaa]

how would you style down a black coat?

[@1iosanta]

Hi there.. Was wondering can you dress down well fitted..bouble breasted Light grey or black as well?

[@mortgagedavid]

I agree with the more fitted advice, but i went with baggy so that I can wear with thicker hoodies, im putting comfort first

[@gentslounge]

Whatever works! Baggy is more popular right now anyway.

[@OKOK-hm2is]

I have bigger size for wearing with suits and blazers and a smaller one to wear with thin sweaters when weather is warmer. So both sizes can have their time to shine)

[@chrispembry551]

What about a budget option of suits ....and looks to go with them ......? I’m in the uk ..and love trying to look stylish on a budget ....thanks for the great con tent guys ...keep it up ....

[@jbrio77]

I want that camel coat. Simple design, but so hard to find. I like the stitching on the collar, chest pocket. What material is that made out of? I can’t make out if that is wool.

[@nicmay2000]

I love your style guys and great content. you look good

[@gentslounge]

Thank you!

[@nicmay2000]

very refreshing. and helps me gift-give to the gentlemen

[@KishoreG2396]

How do you sit down with an overcoat? I'm a college student and I'm not sure if I should be sitting down while wearing the coat or if I should take it off first

[@baze3SC]

Unlike blazer which you shouldn't remove unless you absolutely have to (you should only unbutton it) it's best to drape your overcoat over the back of the chair or simply ask where you can hang it.

[@varun009]

I have climate control, so I tend to just lounge around in some Woolen pants I had made with an elasticated waistband, and a t shirt. Going out for a short trip when it's really cold is the perfect time to use an overcoat for me since it's a single layer I can don and shed quickly and that will keep me warm. I hate having to dress up ajd down going in and out of the house. I used to do the same with a parka, but realized this was better. I'd recommend anyone in a cold area to get a bridge coat. It's literally just a long peacoat. I had one made of a 28oz wool fabric in Hong Kong, but schott makes one as well. Probably more expensive, but it's the most vwesitile winter piece I have. I got mine in black just to ease marching.

[@BossBoomBox]

I've just gotten an East German Greatcoat that is grey, and very long. I'm trying to find a way to make it casual but it's not going too well 🤣

[@gentslounge]

Dark denim and some good boots would be a good place to start.

[@viewmann200]

I love, love, LOVE overcoats my fourth one just came in today now I have a camel, dark blue, black and red

[@c.s1393]

Where did you get the red one?!!

[@rajbirsingh929]

it was very informative

They do

[@bubbie23jw]

Just got one from JCREW yesterday for $100 with all my discount I got the camel color fits like a dream thanks guys! I have a multi color one from polo I’ve had for 3 yrs never worn 🤦🏽‍♂️

That’s awesome!

[@nohax8184]

Can someone answer ? can i wear a overcoat like that in the spring , summer ? i mean it would be around 18-22 celsius degrees

[@gentslounge]

Spring maybe. Summer unlikely.

[@jaok9283]

Im looking to buy an overcoat, but im thinking would it be good to wear it with designer sneakers such at the all black valentino rockrunner? Im trying to put together a few outfits...

[@gentslounge]

We would agree!

Question: The formal overcoats that you gentleman showed from Indochino....do the same rules apply when purchasing those overcoats? Will the prices be lower if I wait to purchase at the end of season, or are Indochino. Prices the same all day everyday 24/7 365?

Above the knee for sure.

[@jf4259]

Guys! I am currently looking for an overcoat and I have a great question for you. I noticed that you never recommended black as a color. I notice on pintrest lots of the style guys use black (as well as your other recommendations). My question is, for streetwear/casual, doesn't black work better than navy? Shouldn't black be in your list? Think about it

[@gentslounge]

Up to you. My wardrobe is very much navy grey and other neutrals. Black is great too. I just think a camel coat with an all black outfit would look better and for an expensive piece like an overcoat I want something that works the best for the rest of my wardrobe.

[@jf4259]

@@gentslounge I totally agree with your point of view here. Camel seems to work with everything, black- almost everything. I bought this navy one yesterday, but I don't like how it looks with black pants. So I think I will go with camel... or black. Lol. Anyways, thanks!!

Ever consider a pocket square in your overcoat? Why/why not?

[@gentslounge]

Sure! It can add a fun pop to the look but I wouldn’t double up if you’re wearing a suit underneath your overcoat and already have a pocket square in the suit,

[@roger8654]

My camel coat is my least favorite coat. I prefer my ruby one or blue one

[@nestorjrabalos1998]

You’re confused between an overcoat and a suit. Overcoats are supposed to be an outer cover, unlike suits that come right after the long sleeve shirt. Therefore there should be enough space in its arms so when you’re wearing suits, it won’t be squeezing tight. Otherwise it doesn’t serve the purpose. But you seem to be showing what look like a slimfit overcoat here. It’s your taste anyway, but a slimfit overcoat looks a bit odd. Reminds me of a limousine Ferrari 360 modena (basically a sports car stretched to be a limousine) I saw one time.

[@mycaminspo]

What do you guys think about shorter guys wearing these coats?

[@gentslounge]

Just make sure they don’t go past your knee and fit properly.

[@Walzax]

[@jaredbrown8137]

My 5 year old watched this with me and she said about Blake that he, “is a really good looking boy.” Don’t know if that means she can pick out good style or likes older men already 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@michaeldy1139]

As i live in the VERY TROPICAL Philippines....overcoats are not a good option. :(

[@gentslounge]

True.

[@kantokuu]

This might be a late reply but i also live in the Philippines, 5'10 skinny guy and have a camel overcoat that is just above my knees and a oversized black overcoat 3 inches below the knee, and for me the best option for wearing an overcoat is between months of October to February where typically a rainy and colder season of our country so dont hesitate buying one just wear it on the appropriate time and weather.

[@ayang315]

Aye. Short guys need not apply. 😢 Love the look!

[@gentslounge]

Not true! Just make sure it falls above your knee!

[@ayang315]

Gent's Lounge that’s the thing. They don’t make these things short enough that they’d fall above my knees. At least none that I’ve been able to find. 😞
