3rd Annual Winter Coat Update!

Elegant in his gray wool topcoat with a matching gray cashmere scarf to protect him against the rush of the wintry winds, our hottie sets a fashion statement with his expertly trimmed sideburns, smoother than smooth shave, and, of course, The New York Times. And he's the perfect man to feature in our annual Autumn fashion update on winter coats!

A friend of the HOTT Crew, renowned fashion designer Dries van Noten, has said it so well, "A man's coat is ever the one piece that will define his entire look."

And this year's mantra in winter coat selection is longer and fuller, namely an update of the versatile topcoat. Topcoats made with wool and cashmere blends, Herringbone and Glen Plaid designs, and featuring soft colors of tans, grays and blues instead of monochrome blacks.

Below are some samples of our HOTT Crews' favorite topcoats for 2014/2015!
Above left is one of our favorites, the Burberry Prorsum double breasted cashmere topcoat. It features a flattering fit and, being a British design, also features an amazing spread in gentle breezes. If Jane Austen's Darcy were alive today he'd wear this coat! And we own a lot of Burberry stock, so please, get out those charge cards and head to Burberry! 

Above right is another favorite, the Louis Vuitton wool and cashmere blend topcoat featuring broad geometric designs that give it a touch of edge and a warm classic feel.

We've also found that J Crew has gorgeous topcoats that feature the newest trends in colors and designs, and offer a very affordable option when looking for a top coat that will offer years of service. Above left is the Ludlow English wool topcoat with a herringbone pattern. Simply stunning! And above right is the Ludlow French wool that ramps up the fashion with its peaked lapels. Another stunner of a topcoat!

Our HOTT Crew strongly encourages men to invest now in a quality topcoat featuring these new trends. Mens winter coat styles run in phases of approximately 8 years (remember the leather jackets starting in the late '90's or the pea coats that were the rage up until last winter?) and investing in a topcoat now will keep you warm, handsome and stylish without having to change styles for many years to come.
