But beware, as the old saying goes, measure twice! Especially if you are not buying socksbut something much more expensive in your wardrobe, a coat . The coat must be comfortableand fit well to your body shape. It needs to be tried onproperly. The Internet allows you to choose quickly, but you don\’t want to risk having to change clothes for a long time because they don\’t fit.
It would be a shame to leave it hanging in the closet.
Length
You need to be aware of what you will wear under your coat and how long it will be. Do you like long sweaters? How long are your skirts and dresses? The coat should cover the longer length. It is not very elegant to have part of your evening wardrobe peeking out from under the coat. What type and height of shoes should go with the coat? Will they match the coat? Or do you go shopping for new shoes the next day?
Size
The correct size is one size up. I don\’t want to feel like I\’m barely breathing in a straitjacket to brag to my girlfriends that I\’m a size 38. Besides, gentlemen don\’t care about numbers. It\’s the overall impression that counts.
When trying on a coat, wear what you normally wear under it, and don\’t forget your sweater or jacket. If you can button the coat normally and move around without restrictions, it is the correct size. You wouldn\’t go to work or a meeting in the winter wearing just a T-shirt! Worst of all, you paid a lot of money for it, but you can\’t raise your arms to support yourself on a bus or tram, you can\’t hold your cell phone to your ear, you can\’t sit anywhere for a while, etc. …… It\’s to be a so-called “just walk or stand” model.
Important little things
Do you like to put your hands in your pockets? Do you have one on the coat you wear? The most comfortable ones are smartly cut and deep, not ones that only hold a handkerchief at most! It should also be able to hold gloves and a cell phone.
When it is windy or snowy, a model with a hood is a good choice.
When choosing a coat, you have to keep your wits about you and consider that you may be waiting at the bus stop in the morning for a connection in inclement weather, instead of walking warmly on the catwalk. That way, a well-chosen, comfortable coat will stay with us for longer than just one winter.
