Many conclude that a wool coat does not warm enough, partially because most men do not wear heavy suits or blazers under their overcoats. But this Shanghaier poses a new question: Why not just put one stylish coat on top of another one? Cardigan over sweater, blazer over hoody, tee-shirt over sweater – these choices that might have once been considered overly casual have all been done stylishly. Now is the time for some coat on coat action.
