In this economy, we have to take in consideration that everyone can’t afford to make purchases at some of the most expensive retail stores. Instead, we are forced to shop for reasonably priced clothes of good quality. So, if you like getting the most bang for your buck, you should get to know our  friend Elijah. A man known for his dapper style and immaculate taste, Elijah can find a deal from a mile away.

Giving us both dressy and casual, Elijah decided to step outside in one of his favorite outerwear essentials, the full length topcoat.

Quick question, what exactly is a topcoat? Think pea coat, but much longer.

Now, a good winter coat can be hard to come by these days, especially if you’re looking in all the wrong places. Needless to say, Elijah purchased this reasonably priced topcoat from J.Crew. A store  known for being a little expensive, J.Crew offers a variety of reasonably priced items on their sale rack. Go check them out!

Finding a coat is one thing, but putting together a great outfit underneath is another. When styling a topcoat, warmth, comfort, and price are the key. Consider a casual option with a sweater, jeans, and boots. That should definitely keep you warm this winter. If you’re feeling a little adventurous, try mixing some sport and street styles together with a sweatshirt, chinos, and sneakers. Also, don’t spend two much money on these garments. you should able to put an entire outfit together for less than $50.

With Elijah’s black overcoat, he decided to layer a denim button-up shirt under a striped sweater. The sweater and button-down combo were dressed it down with a pair of chinos and desert boots. In addition, he had this to say about his outfit, “I like this look personally because its dressy casual. It has so much versatility that comes along with it.  It’s professional enough for the office during the day,, but casual enough to wear to happy hour after work with the office team!”

Yes, Elijah! We love this versatile look as well. Keep up the great work, and we can’t wait to catch up with you again. Make sure you stay out of those expensive stores, and dive into the sale racks.

Thanks for reading!
