    That looks awful. You can wear a coat but it’s gotta be classy at least. Burberry makes good looking trenches for rainy weather.

      What if it isn’t for rainy weather, what if you just want something a little longer than a suit jacket and don’t care for blazers and the like

      It does look awful, but it’s based on a character that was always supposed to look barely acceptably dressed, grungy, dirty, only holding it together by his charm. A sort of 1980s sleazecore, I guess. Loved Hellblazer comics growing up.

    It’s fine if you’re wearing it as outerwear, but you need to take it off when you’re indoors. If you’re sitting at your desk or standing around a conference room wearing a trench coat, that’s pretty cringe.

      You might make it work.

      Get a smoking jacket, it might look incredibly casual in a Hugh Hefner sense. Not exactly work wear, but nobody uses smoking jackets anymore so can define a new use for it.

      Especially these days where people can be casual at work, why not a little more upscale casual. Every day is a cocktail party kinda casual.

            do you think the buttoning is inappropriate?

            I mean the one on the left, I didn’t mean that weird coat on the right.
            The ropes to button it look /fashion/ but I was asking if it is too inappropriate for a dinner jacket.

            Do people really dress for dinner anymore? Aren’t those old rules passé and made for a different time?

            Traditionally a smoking jacket is never used except in complete leasure activities like having a morning drink and cigarette by the pool or whatever. There is a reason why Hugh Hefner constantly wore one everywhere as a fashion statement.

            But nobody uses it at all these days except people who larp. But they are stylish and brings a little fun to a shirt and tie. I think it could work in other situations.

            It just requires a bit of a confident "yeah I’m using a smoking jacket as a dinner jacket, what about it" attitude. If you can vibe it out then it can be cool I think.

            Yes, in most evening events you can choose wether to wear a suit or a dinner jacket, rules aren’t as strict.
            >yeah I’m using a smoking jacket as a dinner jacket, what about it
            most people today don’t know the difference, in continental Europe we use "smoking" for both attires so unless you are going to an event where people are educated about menswear technically it shouldn’t be a issue.

      deckard coat is a weird bird. in that it’s costumey as heck but, really, not that much more costumey than a regular trenchcoat already is.

    If you’re wearing a tie then you’re wearing a suit. Nobody wears a tie casually nowadays. If something demands a tie it’s going to demand a real suit. This is just hard boiled detective larp

    it is only done in humid, hot environments where rain is imminent, like the american south

    otherwise, you would wear a jacket and a raincoat or you wouldn’t wear a coat at all

    tl;dr
    Clothing serves a purpose.
    Carrying an umbrella around with you everywhere isn’t /fashion/ unless rain is imminent

      Which only works in a dimly lit apartment with louvered blinds in the american south on a hot, humid night when someone has just been murdered and you’re called out of bed to come and investigate so you hurriedly throw on the clothing you had on before you hecked the blonde but you can’t find the jacket because you left it in the cab when she was blowing you and so you just put on the raincoat and grab your spiral notebook and fountain pen and race to the scene still drunk from the night before but sober enough to realize you’re gonna need a pot of coffee to figure this caper out!
