How To Style & Combine an Overcoat - Gentleman's Gazette
About this video
The Gazette team provides comprehensive guidance on styling and coordinating overcoats with various outfits. They explain how to choose overcoats based on color, formality level, and fabric texture, then demonstrate multiple styling approaches for different overcoat types—from navy and tan to herringbone and bold colors—showing how to coordinate them with accessories like scarves, gloves, hats, and boots.
Key takeaways
- The Gazette team argues that overcoats should contrast with other wardrobe elements; if your accessories and pants are dark, choose a lighter overcoat, and vice versa
- The Gazette team recommends that formal business overcoats work best in gray, charcoal, or mixed tones, while casual overcoats suit shorter cuts and warmer colors like brown and tan
- The Gazette team emphasizes using accessories—particularly scarves, gloves, and hats—to create visual interest and tie outfits together; they argue against black gloves in favor of contrasting colors like gray or petrol blue
