The full-length woolen coats

#TeachingsTuesdays

Full-length coats are most preferred in the winter months. But based on the weather and the individual’s insulation preferences, men can choose to wear them a little early, i.e., during the late fall weeks. This ensures complete insulation from cold weather, gives a sophisticated look and style, and prepares the body for the upcoming winter. Also, this year, full-length woolen coats have made a comeback in style and fashion. So, keep one ready for yourself!

It lies in the balance, proportions, choice of colors, fabrics, accessories, fit, etc., and most importantly, the way you carry the outfit with confidence and attitude. Even an old suit can make you look dapper and impressive when worn the right way for the right occasion.

“You cannot climb the ladder of success dressed in the costume of failure.” —Zig Ziglar.

#MotivationalMondays

What a commendable thought by this American author! Through this quote, he means that success is attainable only with a good attitude, mindset, behavior, and most importantly, attire. If you wear the costume of failure—be it the wrong mindset, negativity, lack of confidence, or poor attire—your presentability and capability will be doubted or questioned. Consequently, you will not be able to climb more on the ladder of success.

Slacks vs Jeans: Which is the Better Option for Everyday Wear?

Men wear pants throughout the day. So, which pants should they wear every day? Slacks or jeans? Well, they ought to be selected with utmost care, a comfort level check, and a lot of factors into consideration. 

What are slacks and jeans?

Slacks are a particular type of trousers that generally feature a relaxed or looser fit, structure, or silhouette than dress pants. On the other hand, jeans are a particular type of denim trousers in particular. However, let’s understand both the pant types with respect to:

  • Fabric type
  • Style and fit
  • Suitable occasion
  • Color choices  

Based on the fabric type

Slacks are designed using lightweight fabrics like cotton, linen, cotton-blend, wool, flannel, etc. They are breathable and the texture is soft and smooth. Hence, they do not seem to harm the skin. 

Jeans are made of denim fabric, which is also a type of cotton. Like cotton, they are breathable and help absorb sweat from the skin. Overall, it gives a rugged look and feel. The texture can be soft or hard based on the denim used.   

Based on the style and fit

The different fits in slack pants include slim-fit, tapered, relaxed, straight, etc. And their style depends on the pair. When worn with dress shirts or suits, they fall under the formal style. Alternatively, when worn with sweatshirts or sports jackets, they fall under the casual style.

Jeans too have different fits, like slacks. But they are always considered casual, despite what pairs with them—shirt, tee, sweater, suit, etc. 

Based on the suitable occasion

From the style element, we apparently can understand that slacks work for formal, semi-formal, and smart casual occasions. Whereas the jeans are suitable only for casual occasions. 

Based on color choices

Slacks come in a wide range of colors—blue, white, brown, gray, forest green, tan, beige, graphite, khaki, black, navy, etc. As these are more suited for formal occasions, the majority of colors are either formal or neutral. 

Jeans are predominantly in blue denim. Based on the wash or bleach levels, the indigo hues might vary. Also, they are available in black and gray. In extremely rare cases, some men like other shades of jeans like maroon, yellow, or white.    

Which is better for every day?

Undoubtedly, both these pant types are men’s wardrobe staples. However, it depends on what type of style you follow, the work culture, or your profession. For a man in a white-collar job or a businessman, slacks are considered everyday wear, as they need to meet a lot of professionals and present themselves in formal or semi-formal attire. Yet, these men will also love to wear jeans for informal or casual events, parties, or gatherings—just that they wear slacks more than jeans on a daily basis.  

On the contrary, a blue-collar worker or a man in an unorganized sector prefers jeans for every day, as they needn’t necessarily meet business professionals. So, slacks are occasional or sometimes rare for these types of men. 

ConclusionIt is always recommended to consult a men’s clothing designer or an expert in leading men’s couture—they understand your everyday needs and suggest the right pants for you!
