By Gabi Meyers | Last Updated: Feb 27, 2024 | 6 min read Do you still have the workwear jacket your grandfather used to wear around the house? The one that seemed to be resistant to everything life threw at it, made of sturdy canvas with plenty of roomy patch pockets? That coat is a chore coat, my friend, and in 2024 it deserves a place in your closet. Get an article of outerwear with the potential to become a family heirloom instead of settling for the cheap, fast-fashion jackets. There is a chore coat out there just waiting to be the most durable item in your wardrobe, from well-known workwear brands to fresh interpretations of the timeless design. More than just a jacket, it is an investment that will last you many seasons and could even be passed down to your grandchildren in the future. In this guide: What is a chore coat? These jackets were initially made for French laborers and were constructed with lightweight functionality and durability. These days, they go beyond their origins in workwear and fit right in with daily attire. The chore coat lends a touch of rugged charm to any ensemble, whether you wear it with a t-shirt for weekend errands or layered over an oxford button-down for a casual Friday. It is ideal for fall, but it is also substantial enough to wear over any carefree summer ensembles you have not quite let go of. A chore jacket is the perfect piece to change up your everyday chinos and button-down uniform or if you are looking for a casual yet stylish coat to wear with jeans. What colors does a chore jacket come in? Chore coats in blue or navy and various tones of tan have been common in recent years. However, there are a lot more colors available now than there were previously due to the style of coat's explosive rise in popularity. You will see exactly what I mean when you scroll down to the #SGapproved shopping recommendations at the bottom of the post. What material is a chore coat made of? Chore coats are usually made of sturdy cotton or a cotton blend (cotton linen, cotton seersucker, etc.). But since they have become so well-liked, designers have begun to use more inventive fabrics—like corduroy—instead of the more conventional ones. What should I wear with a chore coat? A chore coat can be styled similarly to a denim jacket, field jacket, or Harrington jacket. In other words, casually. Don jeans and a chore jacket. Put it on with pants. either in a boot or a sneaker. This staple item of workwear is not meant to be handled with much care. Below is how to wear a chore coat: Look 1: sneakers and a beanie Can’t you see yourself wearing this on a weekend or to a casual office? Yeah, I can see that for you, too. Look 2: Workwear pants with a hoodie A monochrome look that’s kept from veering into boring territory thanks to the combinations of layers, textures, and those pop of color red socks. Look 3: bright blue with wide-leg trousers Wide-leg pants aren’t for everyone, but if you’re looking to try the trend, this chore jacket outfit is a great place to start. Look 4: denim chore coat Ready to try something different with denim up top? Opt for a chore coat made from the material. Sure, a trucker jacket style will always be in style, but this twist is fun and fresh for 2024. Look 5: olive green chore coat The neutrals combine to make for an easy-to-wear, sophisticated off-duty outfit.

Você não precisa usar camisa e gravata só com paletó ou blazer, a dupla serve muito bem para dar upgrade no look com jaqueta ou casaco. Neste caso temos um chore coat, casaco usado no workwear americano que tem sido a aposta de muitas marcas como peça desejo masculina. Seu colarinho é similar ao da jaqueta trucker, mas ele é mais longo e possui dois bolsos grandes abertos na altura do quadril e um ou dois menores no peito. Para o verão já tivemos chore coats mais leves, alguns até de linho para os dias da estação que são mais amenos e dá para arriscar uma peça sobreposta sem passar calor. #modamasculina #mensfashion #menswear #chorecoat #gravata #casual #camisas #cool https://www.instagram.com/p/CHOnwQejU6L/?igshid=18b79pu8umxll
