Quilted coats for men: 3 looks for that all-important first date

Quilted coats for men, with their “male protector” image and snuggle factor, make a lasting impression on the ladies. Depending on the style, they can convey a casual, sporty chic, or respectable image. And when a chivalrous gent feels the urge to offer a shivering lady something warm to throw over her shoulders, a quilted coat is a real winner. When planning what you’re going to wear, bear in mind that first impressions are all-important! Here come 3 trendy looks for successful dates:

1. Classic seduction

If you want to create the impression on your first date of being style-conscious and respectable, it’s best to opt for a more traditional version of the coat with a classic quilt pattern (squares or vertical stitching). Wear it over cloth pants or black jeans and a well-ironed men’s shirt. For a really convincing look, combine the coat with a plain-colored knitted sweater (possibly featuring a cable design and in subdued colors, such as beige or dark gray) or with a jersey jacket. To loosen up the look, we recommend classy leather sneakers. A refined, but irresistible men’s fragrance rounds off the overall impression to perfection.

2. Sporty seduction

If you’ve got a sporty location in mind for your date, it’s important to choose an outfit to match. Feel free to opt for a coat in a strong color if you’re off to the ice rink. A shortish quilted coat for men offers the necessary freedom of movement in the leg. On sporty dates, jeans featuring a cool wash pattern are a great choice. Team them up with a loose-fitting casual shirt or print shirt … then you can really get your skates on!

3. Seduction of a different kind

These winter coats are also suitable for wearing with quite unconventional outfits. A blend of elegance and stylishness in full-denim or in colors like black or navy works well; another alternative is a color-blocking outfit consisting of chinos and a casual shirt. For this look, the quilted coat can feature quirky or irregular stitching, large pockets and a showy collar or hood. If you intend to wear a hoodie under the coat, make sure the quilted coat also has a hood so that the fabric doesn’t pile up around the collar (the hoods can be pushed inside one another). A casual beanie in a striking color makes a nice accessory.

Tip from the date doctor: On your first date, please don’t carry any strange odds and ends around in your coat pockets, such as bottle caps or dog fouling bags. Otherwise, your lady friend might get a nasty surprise when she slips her slender hands into your coat pockets for warmth. It’s always best to be prepared and carry some hand warmers around with you!
