The Camel Topcoat

Gap, $198

The trusty topcoat was once considered a more buttoned up piece of outerwear. But these days, the longer wool coat is being pulled on over any and everything in a man's closet—and for good reason. The clean lines and universally-flattering fit makes every man look taller and slimmer. While most guys would gravitate towards black or grey or navy, we suggest the classic camel shade. It's a go-with-everything neutral that has the power to instantly upgrade whatever you're wearing. On warm fall afternoons, toss it on over a T-shirt and jeans. Then, when the cold really sets in, add your favorite layering pieces and a wool beanie. Herewith, a few of the best options at any price.
