So ever since high school, I enjoy wearing coats as my own personal sense of style. I don't know if that's pathetic or not, but generally during fall to spring I'll rock a coat constantly. That includes inside buildings over friends houses, pretty much everywhere I can and sense I wear them all the time I don't like anything to warm.
I always have worn a variety of styles... The past "retired" jackets in my collection include:
A Fubu Jacket
An Urban Inspired jean jacket
An Ecko white fleece zip hoody that had a badass graffiti design on it of a hoodlum wielding a handgun.*
One that was black with neon pink tribal designs.
A fake-leather 50's jacket
A black long overcoat
And most recent: A beige raincoat.
The time has come for beige raincoat (I've lovingly referred to it as my "Detective" coat) to be banished to the depths of my closet and I need something new to replace it. I thought I'd ask you fine strangers on the internet a bit of fashion advice in my new search for a cool looking coat. I'm actually seriously considering looking into something "gothic", I suppose? I've never been a part of that particular scene, however I find a lot of that dress style visually interesting. Am I going to look overly pathetic rocking a gothic trench coat over what I can only describe as "normal" dress clothes (A collared shirt and blue jeans)?
Anyway, I need....
-A price I can afford (around 100 dollars USD is the max I'm willing to spend)
-A jacket that's visually pretty bold (Either something very very Urban/HipHop oriented or something very very goth/rock)
-Loose fitting (I'm tall and fat, so naturally I like loose clothing. All us fat guys do.)
-I'd prefer something long, like a trench coat but it doesn't have to be.
*Or if I could just find some place to rebuy that Ecko fleece, I loved that thing so much I wore it until it was thread bare. Sadly I can't even find anything similar to it by Ecko anymore
If anyone knows of any good online shops for this sort of thing, let me know.
