what's a good alternative to a peacoat that isn't so lame and LARPy looking? Overcoats are similar in silhouette, but still seem too formal. Thoughts?

Just wear a damn overcoat. You are probably old enough to finally wear suits.

single breasted options like that aren't too naffe; maybe a duffle coat

it means those around me are way too casually dressed for me to not look out of place and overdone in an overcoat

You don't know what you want. Said coats are overcoats.

peacoats are pretty common where I live, among adults. unless you are a teen it wont look larpy, it is just a basic garment and maybe just slightly slightly more formal than the average dude, nothing noteworthy. personally I dont like the puffed up look that peacoats sometimes bring, and would probably choose something a bit more sleek, a singlebreasted coat with not as wide lapels, for everyday wear that is.

>> No.14704689

Buy the most traditional St. James peacoat. Make sure you get the right size and you can pretty much wear it with everything except a hoodie, which you shouldn't do anyway so yea

overcoats and greatcoats only work if you're not short. if you have thin ass legs they'll look weird sticking out if you have on skinny jeans or pants. peacoats are honestly the best option if you're small and weak, as most people are, they make the shoulders look broad and they're not long enough to give the "school shooter" look trench coats can give. also parkas and anoraks look good on just about everyone, if even a peacoat is too bold for you a black anorak will let you walk around unnoticed but still stylish

I'm like 5'8." I'm a fan of parkas but they seem to have a sort of nylon look which I'm not a fan of. Thanks for the tips anon, I'll look into them

A barn coat would be a more casual look.

if you're too scared of looking "too formal," get a coat with raglan sleeves. Also overcoats are not too formal for every day. Maybe if you live in bum fuck lumber jack village where everyone wears flannels and sherpa denim jackets. >>14705109

I have a feeling you would consider dressing nicely = larping, which is not the case. We can't help if you're being self-conscious and trying not to stand out.

Dressing nicely = larping is the general mindset of people up until they graduate from university. Our cultural decline led to this kind of thinking.

there is a difference between dressing to look nice and dressing nicely in a manner that looks too formal/rigid/by the book.
you don't want to look like some model in a mens fashion magazine.
peacoats fall into this category of looking like some normie who thinks he is dressing well, sure you can go for that if you want to look go to other normies
