Duffle Coat, is probably the most intimate coat of all. Being close to the people means that people will not consider wearing it being too exaggerated and artificial.
Duffle coat came out of Belgium and was carried forward by the British Navy, and then it was brought into daily wear by Ivy style. What Americans carried forward was basically casual and daily.
I think there are three styles of Duffle Coat, and I like the last one best.
Casual/Ivy
As long as you look particularly casual, that’s right, and we don’t need to emphasize how to match it.
Duffle Coat has a lot of colours, such as camel, navy blue, black and so on, but in this style, it is better to choose light and bright ones.
If you can put on shiny pants and shoes, that will be great.
Formal
In this category, there is no difference between Duffle Coat and other coats, such as Chester. Put on a suit and tie inside.
In fact, this adds leisure already, because Duffle Coat is more relaxed than those traditional coats.
This collocation is a cult. Obviously, there is a better choice of coats, but wearing them is the way to mix and match.
Military
What is the military style? Is the military style a basic principle? Original Duffle Coat in the British Navy era had an obvious feature, that is, the degree of looseness is much higher than the later version.
Everyone knows that the authentic entrance of the fisherman’s coat is Gloveral is the most well-known representive of Duffle Coat, The brand history is that the founder collected war materials and sold to public in peacetime, but later the stock was sold out.
After making it himself, it was revised little by little, and the clothes became more and more tight. On Gloverall official website, it recommends fit as the tighter the better! This will keep you warm. Tighter and more slim styles are indeed younger and more energetic, but the taste has changed.
In terms of collocation, sailors wear it, so do officers. Sailors wear sweaters inside, while officers don shirts and ties, so everything is ok.
How to make the style more intense? I think Burberry’s attempt was particularly good. Using striped decoration to remind everyone of the naval elements of this coat. At the same time, the degree of easing has also increased significantly.
