I'll probably get a charcoal grey one to go with my usual wear (I have to wear an oxford and tie most days to work). I've seen plenty of perfectly normal looking people wearing, them, so I ask you: why do trenchcoats still have such a shit reputation when Columbine was like a million years ago and neckbeards constitute a fairly small minority of wearers?

Those are called topcoats not trench coats faggot
1) Don't buy anything on a black mannequin you autist good long coats cost like AT LEAST 300 bucks and that is in the very low range
2) TRENCH coats tend to be bad because of how out of place they are. They aren't a streetwear piece in modern day context. They go better with a biz-caz type of style.
3) They only work if you are tall and pretty /fit/ and have good skin tone and in general are attractive.
4) Don't buy a trench coat faggot

Because it's menswear, and as such, /fa/ now hates it. While it's true that a ton of neckbeards wear them, the majority of people wearing them are just normal professionals. Those people don't usually visit 4chan.

Just make sure your coat fits at the shoulders, has a decent taper, and leaves you enough room for a jacket underneath.

Heads up, a good one is going to be expensive. The $300 another anon said is a joke. A decent coat will cost over twice that.

The fact that his "effay friends" thinks trenchcoat on him = schoolshootercore makes me think he doesn't have the age/profession to wear one of these.

Not necessarily. I'm the anon that you replied to. My friends give me shit all the time for dressing professionally even though it's due to the nature of my work. Sometimes people you've known for about a decade have trouble seeing you in a new light. Also, my friends are really immature, so there's that.

But the one thing you hit on is totally true. An overcoat says a lot of things, the loudest being "I'm employed." You can't wear it a and not have a job.

No you fucking idiot. Within reasonable bounds (belt&suspenders), nothing MUST be worn with anything. Fashion isn't about rules, but like art or writing, it's good to learn the rules before you start fucking with them.
