I was faced with a decision on an overcoat today, and thought that for fun, I'd ask your opinions.
Today I'm wearing grey slacks, a navy blue mock-turtle sweater and a black and white houndstooth sport coat. I needed an overcoat to go with them, but the weather isn't really cold today. My choices were either a full dress-length dark grey wool overcoat, or a double-breasted navy blue pea coat that's much shorter - about 2-3" longer than the sports coat.
I opted for the navy blue pea coat, because its length is more comfortable (and less overkill) for today's weather. However, I'm aware that it is a less formal coat.
Oh, and the hat is a medium grey Whippet.
Which coat would you have worn, and why?? [huh]
