What used to be a boxy banker’s special has slimmed down in recent years, leaving behind a trim shell to throw over your finest suits or patched-up jeans. In a menswear world where the "versatile" label gets slapped on everything, a properly fitted topcoat, especially in a neutral color like gray, navy, black, or camel, is one piece that will live up to the hype.

And here’s what you’re looking for when picking one up: shoulders that sit where your actual shoulders do, a slim body that allows no more than a fist’s worth of space between your chest and the coat, and a length that hits above the knee, but below the thigh. There’s no place you cannot wear a topcoat. So get a topcoat. Find the best ones under $400 here.
