Much like the perfect pair of blue jeans and the essential white T-shirt, the peacoat is an iconic staple of menswear that, quite literally, never goes out of style. Sure, the length of the hemlines and fabrication might change from season to season, but you are pretty much guaranteed to collect the compliments anytime that you’re wearing this essential piece of outerwear.
Like most modern-day fashion essentials, the peacoat was born out of utilitarian necessity, in this case; protecting Dutch and British sailors from the harsh elements of navy life in the 1800s. Historically, the silhouette was form-fitting with flared hips and made with a thick wool blend, to offer protection from the elements while also allowing for ease of movement, a necessity for life at sea. A wide, double-breasted collar and large anchor-imbued buttons were also standard. For the most part, these design elements remain the same to this day, giving the peacoat hard-to-come-by longevity, coveted by well-dressed guys everywhere.
To help you make the most out of your coat game, we present 10 of the most stylish peacoats for men. From classic black and grey styles to options with bold and contemporary patterns, these styles will quickly become your favorite final layer for classy dressing this winter and early spring.
