With winter finally here, it's time to start talking about coats. A man can have many staple coats in his wardrobe, including the necessary black wool topcoat, camel coat, and even a robe coat. But I'm here to talk about something perhaps more daring: the houndstooth coat.

Houndstooth is a pattern that can easily go wrong, but when it's done right it is oh so good. As a black-and-white broken plaid, Houndstooth can read more modern and less classic than a traditional plaid. The mod style of the coat can really up the cool factor of an otherwise simple look. 

Here, I paired a lightweight houndstooth robe coat from ASOS with an all-black outfit and easy slides. Sadly this exact coat is sold out, so I've linked some similar styles below!

Would you try a houndstooth coat? Let me know in the comments!
