I hate to admit it, but like 70% of males ages 18-30 in the winter I wear a black pea coat. The trend was beginning to happen when I got mine 5 or 6 years ago, but now it’s exploded. If you work in a city with a concentrated number of young professionals you know exactly what I’m talking about.
The reason for this article is to point out 2 styles of this fashion to avoid so that you don’t look like a douchebag for the rest of your life. That’s right, I’m TCM’s fashion police today, bitch.
1. Wearing a baseball hat with a pea coat. Seriously? Come on. Would you wear a suit and put a baseball hat on? Of course not, you’d like unbelievably retarded. Don’t do it with a pea coat than. You will be labeled as a BRO for life, albeit one that is trying to moonlight as an executive, but a BRO nevertheless. Don’t do it.
2. Don’t wear a hoody underneath it, unless it’s the kind that’s hoodless and the coat is buttoned. If your going somewhere in the winter where you won’t be outside for a long period of time, you will likely be fine wearing a hoody. If you are going to be outside for pro longed periods of time, buy a better and warmer jacket that is actually made to stop the coldness from creeping into your body. Don’t make yourself look like an idiot by wearing something nice and something junky at the same time. Your probably the same type of person that rocks the Miami Vice style blazer with a t-shirt under it or gets married in a tux and ripped jeans.
It’s not asking too much. But these 2 simple steps should allow you to shed your douchey ways and coexist normally, with the rest of us.
