Is this coat too formal looking?

Hey I was just wondering what you guys think about this coat, does it look formal or casual? https://www.uniqlo.com/uk/en/products/E471723-000/00?colorDisplayCode=68&sizeDisplayCode=005 And do you have any recommendations to coats like this that look casual and can be worn with everyday clothes

You can easily dress a coat like that down. Really depends on what sort of lifestyle you live though - "formal" and "casual" are extremely context dependent. Hard to say without any idea of what sort of life you're living or style you're into If you're in high school or something I could see it being too formal of a coat, but if you're an adult who does more than goes to football games it should be fine

Yeah im an adult, I'd mostly use it on dates and just going out on a cold day to the bar/coffee shop

Agree with rawbert-oh, pretty flexible coat based on what you wear with it if you have more formal stuff under it it'll look more formal, if you're pretty casual, say jeans, sneakers, hoodie as an exmaple, it'll look more casual

Only thing I would look out for is the material mix on the coat. If you're looking for something warm for winter you might be disappointed And might be worth perusing used/vintage options for wool pieces

That makes sense thanks Any good brands I can look for?

Honestly around that same price range I feel like vintage / surplus stores are a good bet. You can probably find something cheaper that's 100% wool with a cool cut and try it on in person to make sure the fit works. They've been making coats in these styles for ages so there are tons of them No specific brand recs otherwise, sorry - but maybe someone else can help give you some to look for

in terms of vintage brands, pendleton, j.crew, ralph lauren and its diffusion lines (polo ralph lauren, chaps by ralph lauren [that exact name, not just "chaps"]) and many military overcoats all fit the bill all four you've chosen can be suitably formal or casual, though my personal opinion is favoring the uniqlo jackets

Would you say the uniqlo ones wouldnt last too long considering its a wool blend?

I think longevity isnt the issue as much as Uniqlo coats are way outclassed at that price point You can ask the seller for measurements

they are down at the bottom it says 48chest which might fit me but i guess ill risk the return postage oh i see, i might go down to some vintage shops tomorrow see what i can find Only thing Im worried about is i dont want to get something too formal i have a bad eye for casual vs formal

there's more wiggle room with big coats than like, suits or something in terms of formality

I got this coat for my winter trip to Japan later this year Uniqlo said a Large would fit "tight" and the arms would be "too short"
