A long coat is the easiest way to take your outfit from zero to hero. Check out stylish outfit inspiration, and shop the best long coats to wear all season long.

There’s a few fashion staples that every guy can use to elevate an otherwise ho-hum outfit. A pair of sunglasses (especially useful when you’re hungover). The sneakers you keep totally pristine. A long coat.

A men’s jacket that extends to or past the knee makes anything you wear under it instantly elevated.

No matter the long coat you pull out of the closet, you really can’t go wrong. Wool overcoat? Sophisticated! Rain slicker? Sporty! Mac coat? A classic!

Don’t be surprised if paparazzi start popping out of bushes to take your photo because they think you’re someone famous.

Wear a quilted long coat

Your long jacket doesn’t have to be anything formal. Look for a quilted material if you want to stay warm but not look fussy.

Paired with white sneakers, this trousers and a beanie look is one you could absolutely pull off right now.

Dress down your long coat

See how the right coat can make even the most casual outfit — in this case, a hoodie and cargo pants? — look like something the lead character in a romcom would wear?

Wear a topcoat with sweatpants

Team SG’s litmus test for a good casual look? If you’d be happy to run into an ex while wearing it.

This sweats and a wool topcoat outfit, for instance, would definitely have her thinking second thoughts if you two ran into one another on a Sunday morning coffee run.

Opt for athleisure with men’s long coat outfits

A long coat made from performance material offers something a little different when it comes to a knee-grazing style.

Pick a color you love

You don’t have to stick to neutrals when it comes to men’s long coat outfits.

If you’re already covered off on coats in shades like tan, navy, and charcoal, why not go for a coat in a color that cheers you up? Dressing for the way you want to feel is especially important on those days it’s dark when you leave the house in the morning and when you get home again.

Dress like a superhero in hiding

Doesn’t this long coat outfit give Bruce Wayne on sabbatical?

A long wool topcoat, especially one in dramatic black, offers an air of seriousness (and mystery!) to any wearer.

Keep things loose (but not sloppy)

An oversize fit looks modern and stylish when done right.

How to nail the vibe? Make sure everything is well-tailored. Don’t let the shoulders on your jacket don’t jut out too far past your actual delts, and be sure your pants can stay up even without a belt involved.

Keep the rest of the look simple with a grey crewneck and your favorite sneakers.
