Grey overcoat outfit ideas for men.

An overcoat is one of the essentials every man must own, every man who doesn’t live in some land of eternal summer. A black topcoat is a must-have, camel and tan overcoats are so trendy and are a part of the fashion zeitgeist in the 2020s. But what about a grey topcoat?  Color grey, to quote Vogue magazine, is one of the neutrals that strikes a happy balance between white’s impracticality and black’s severity. Very close to the hearts of hotshot fashionistas, the color grey represents mystery, it exudes mystique and solemnity. A grey overcoat can immensely enrich your fall and winter repertoire both from style and functionality points of view. A bit smarter than the tan trench coats and camel topcoats and a slightly less dressy cousin of a black topcoat, the grey overcoat is a choice for you if you are looking to zhoosh up your autumn style. These 30 gray overcoat outfits will inspire and ignite your fashion sense, but moving on let’s have a quick glance at the basics.

Styling the grey coat:

Keeping things simple and straight is the best practice when it comes to styling the grey coat. It’s a coat that can be worn in every situation, formal or casual. The time-honored practice of topping your well-cared-for evening suit with a grey overcoat is a safe bet like always. A three-piece suit with a sky-blue shirt is a perfect match for a grey overcoat.

What goes with a grey overcoat?:

You can layer a tee, a turtleneck, a hoodie, or a sweatshirt under your grey overcoat in addition to a button-down shirt with or without a tie. When it comes to jeans, both blue and black colors will work. Light blue faded jeans, black knee-ripped jeans, or slim-fit chinos all work well for casual and streetwear outfits with grey coats. A grey coat can always be smartened up with the addition of button-down and formal pants.

The footwear game:

It’s a bit tricky(compared to the camel or black top outfits where you can easily match the buff/ brown or black boots and the coats, and because grey shoes are not that popular), and it will also depend on other pieces of your outfit. The time-honored sartorial tradition of matching the shoes with the belt is a good starting point. But what would you do when not wearing the belt? Matching the shoes with the pants, like black shoes with black pants is a no-brainer. White sneakers can be a choice when you are layering a white top, a white hoodie, or maybe a white turtleneck with a grey overcoat. It all boils down to using your staples wisely and matching a piece of your outfit with the shoes when considering footwear options.

Making a grey topcoat look better? 

  • Use shirts that are in shades of grey with a grey topcoat for a sophisticated look. 
  • Use accessories like bracelets and necklaces to elevate the overcoat, wrist watches and sunglasses are an equally effective way to spruce up your style.
  • Think of using layering pieces in shades that work well with the grey coat. Shades of grey, plain white, and black are the hues you should choose for your tops to layer with a grey overcoat. 
  • Invest in a pair of grey suede boots or grey sneakers to use at times, with a grey coat for an elevated smart casual look.

Taking care of it? 

Like every wool coat, a grey overcoat must be used very carefully during parties and gatherings, especially when you are using the lighter version of grey. Spills and splashes can irreparably damage your coat, likewise, it’s mandatory to save a grey wool overcoat from rain. Drycleaning is the safe bet, and if the label says you can wash it at home then hand wash and air clean, don’t use the drier, and last but not least, use cold water to wash it as warm water may shrink wool coats.
