project peacoat

I love my lady readers (girl power!), but this one’s for the guys!

The reader request above serves as the inspiration this man candy post…

Since I wear pea-coats in a different, less masculine way, I started by getting inspired by some stylish men! (and don’t worry ladies, they aren’t too shabby to look at either!)

Post inspiration, I was able to come up with a few different ways to wear the classic peacoat!

Pop in Plaid:

This first look spices up the winter weather with the perfect pops of colorful pattern.

Casual Cool:

This second look is all about layering! Pull a peacoat on over an open jacket thats layered over another cardigan! The key is to keep this layered look simple by using a monochromatic color pallet like grey on grey on grey and let the contrasting peacoat make the statement.

East Coast Easy:

Pair a sweater vest that matches your peacoat over a contrasting neutral button up for an timeless look. This options combines brown with light blue and khaki to keep the look easy yet interesting.

Boys in Basics:

Take a lesson from these movie hearth-throbs (edward? ew… team jacob! who am I kidding, twilight blows…) and play with the basics. Pull your peacoat on over your simplest tee and jeans but add some edge by slightly popping your coat collar as shown below.
