- This video will help you build a minimal outerwear collection that's ready for any season and occasion, no matter how old you are or where you live.
Huge thank you to Geologie for sponsoring this video! I've been using Geologie regularly for a long time, and my skin looks better than ever.

How many pieces of outerwear do you really need? 10? 5? Maybe just 1 or 2? Obviously, this depends on where you live. If you’re in southern California and don’t travel much, a couple of lightweight jackets might suffice.
On the other hand, if you live in New York City and travel frequently, you probably need a more substantial coat collection. In this guide, we’ll try to determine the bare minimum number of outerwear pieces you really need to be covered (pun intended) for every season and occasion.
Remember: minimalism is not a competition. It’s not about owning the fewest number of things. It’s about not owning things you don’t actually need. So, in this case, we’re trying to whittle our outerwear collection down to the pieces that actually get worn regularly.

Outerwear is kind of my weak spot in terms of minimalistic lifestyle. I see myself in each category you mentioned and own about 15 pieces 😅
YOU SIR ARE A LIFE SAVER!!!
I have a similar body type and recently I came across your YT channel that helped me make tremendous improvements on my style.
Not only have I gotten better at picking the right sizes and shades of clothing but I also gained a lot of body confidence.
Thank you for all your Styling insights for shorter men, your efforts are bringing changes to the world!
Dude! I love how you broke it down into 4 categories. I hope to see you break styles down in future videos. Very helpful!
This is the video I have been looking for several years! Thank you, Modest Man
Amazing editing! Thank you, Brock
Your uploads are really useful Brock, pls keep them coming? I wonder how you're not at a mil subs already!
Great video, as always. Additional Tipp: we (“get the most bank for buck community”) sometimes try to max out the functionality part of clothing too much. We want the warmes jacket, the most undestroyable boot. But you don’t need an arctic expedition or Mount Everest proof jacket if you live somewhere where it snows a couple of times a year! Diminishing returns are real and you can achieve 80% of the result with 20% of the effort/price.
i. love. outerwear. besides warmth, it gives your attire depth. especially in the winter, i don't want to be wearing the same coat with everything as that's boring and it's all people see of your outfit when it's cold out. so i tend to have lots of fall/winter coats. from street, to preppy, to outdoorsy, i love having a variety. the same applies to my footwear. my wallet, on the other hand feels differently 😊
very great content, I respect your honesty nobody is perfect.
My outerwear collection :
1. Leather jacket
2. Bomber jacket
3. Vest
4. Puffer jacket
5. Blazer
I got
A double breasted overcoat
A single breasted light overcoat
A single breasted Trenchcoat
Two double breasted Trenchcoats
A waxed cotton jacket
A puffer jacket
A leather jacket
A skiing winter jacket
A wool sport coat
Three single breasted black suit jackets
A double breasted suit jacket
A beige suit jacket
A morning coat
A double breasted tuxedo jacket
Probably forgot something.
This is exactly my style!! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
This video was epic! Fellow east coaster here. More vids like this! Very informative. This was so well executed as well. Thank you sir
Indeed, meaningful content!
Looking sharp as always. Thanks for sharing
Overcoats = knee length for me for proper warmth to do their job. Windchill this morning was -15c so used my 23 year old puffer. Good video hitting the nail on the head
Function over form, my friend!
I really love the piece at 7:04. so classy and classic.
Too bad i live in a tropical country that is pretty much summer temperature year round. I never get to enjoy layering my clothing since i would get a heat stroke if i wore more than one layer.
Where is that?
You get to wear the greatest piece of outer wear: the aloha shirt
I suggest moving lol
@@milekrizman probably anywhere near the equator
I envy people that don't have to layer lol
Loved the comedy thrown in there 😂
Great stuff as always 👍
Thank you!
I'm no longer the unfashionable dweeb I was three years ago thanks to your channel. Thanks, bro.
Ive always recommended building a functional wardrobe with signature pieces. I may have a $9 tee shirt from target, 30 lee’s jeans from kohls and some vision court nikes but my MadMen edition Top Coat has survived for 8 years now cause of the investment.
Nice collection! Maybe you could add a trench coat and do a review on that in the future? Trench coats are a classic and a must have in any man's wardrobe. I like the look and the military style details.
The avid adventurer part is awesome, spot on haha
Hey! Been watching your videos for the past 2 years and realized I never dropped a comment. Love your content dude and keep up the good work!
Holy shmokies I dig your videos but I've never seen such long ad reads. Thank you for the time stamps
Love my peacoat. So versatile
Amazing! Love your video! Can you make a video about Costco’s clothing if possible? That’s the store I go to a lot.
Love the minimalist selections!!! The parka is something I can use, especially with Minnesota's below freezing temperatures!?! Do you have any recommendations for parkas? Thank you so very much, super Mr. Brock!!!!! :D
I have extremely warm and long parka from Didricksen. It has lambs wool lining and a collar that covers half of my face when fully zipped. It gets really cold in Finland.
I want to say my experience being a minimalist for 1 year
IT IS AWFULLY BORING AFTER SOMEPOINT!
I have heard that many youtubers tell it is like a uniform. It saves time...Its TRUE!
But, but...
That little time is really not worth it. It ain't much!
So my opinion is, JUST BUY AS MANY CLOTHES AS YOU LIKE AND WEAR EM'.
Enjoy! :)
Don't be weighed down by MINIMALISM
I have so many coats and jackets it is clear I have a problem. Good video
I sensed a bit of frustration and disgust in the entire vide. I feel you've just had enough of people trying to over complicate this despite it been super easy. Great video mate.
The question was how to upgrade wardrobe and bad things when newbies try in wardrobe, thanks bro to ur videos, I aced the answers
Hello there!
My request to you is about the socks types & which ones could go with what wear types?
Thank you! Can you do an update on current chinos? There are so many new brands and fabrics now, I can’t keep up
I have a section that is called “things that are navy...” great video!! Btw what pants/chinos are you wearing in this vid?
Hey man, fantastic video. Firat time I watched your content and really enjoyed it. Just got a question though, how tall you are?
Thoroughly enjoyed this, Brock. I just moved back to South Florida from the living in the DC area for over a year and realized that I've accumulated a bit of outerwear that may not suit for sub tropical climates. Should I condense the outerwear pieces or hold onto them? I have about eight pieces altogether ranging from fleece liners to a down jacket.
I’d probably pack them away in a storage bin just in case you move or travel. I like the plastic under-the-bed containers for clothing storage 👌🏼
Enjoy both Brock's video and blog post. Topcoat from mainstream brands still are too long for modest men. Brock, could you do a video/post for 2021 about choices of topcoat for short men? I only find Peter manning topcoat can fit short men, and some car coat from Bonobos fit short men pretty well (car coat tend to have shorter length, so much less cost for alternation). Cheer to your style
Hey, great video. What jacket are you wearing in the video presentation? The navy blue one with the collar. Im looking everywhere but can't find that style. Please let me know!
Bit of an off topic question. What do you think of the outdoor enthusiast style that is becoming more popular these days? The button ups, fitted out wear, fitted pants like the pieces included in the avid adventurer styling.
Brock, can you recommend any topcoats/overcoats (model or brand) that fit men at the 5'6" height off the rack? Do you tend to get these jackets tailored in any way, shape or form?
Hi, Brock. I usually wear a XS in shirts, t-shirts etc and am 5'6, 128lbs.
For outerwear, like the topcoat & peacoat, would you recommend to go XS, or size up to a S for layering purposes?
Hey Brock, I've been using Geologie for the past month and I like the result but I feel like they need to include an exfoliator, btw my coat closet is exploding lol
8:30 shoot, I didn't know this is a comedy channel. :D
But keep going. I like it.
almost time for a pompadour episode....work that do man!!! (seriously, you got the locks...)
Being 5.1 I feel restricted to jackets rather than coats. Always wanted to try a topcoat, but anything even fitted feels to long past the jacket waist line. I have these smart bomber jackets, material wise feels more and looks more like short blazers. Perfect for out out. my favourite everyday wear is leather jackets only bomber or racer (slim and not too box shape). I tried the biker jacket but it all ways looks over kill on me. I think in the uk we are a little bit more lucky as xxs is a thing. A good cheat for longer jackets is hoodie under it, for causal not smart. :-)
Great!!!!!! I love that overcoat that you show with the zipper where did u bought it I want it
It’s from Banana Republic but like 10 years old!
Hey man new to your videos I enjoy them. Maybe if you could give some style tips to us big dudes?
I thought I was done with coats - I have 3 dressy coats and 2 casual coats. And a 6th coat that I will never wear (I think it's a north face jacket, actually) because it was a gift and not my style
Anywho, it turns out I grew out of black coats. I like that jacket at 7:07 and will probably pick one or two up the next time I'm able to go shopping. Since coats don't usually come cheap this is something to consider if it is your first or second - have different colored coats and jackets so that you don't end up looking the same every single day
Still haven't figured out what to wear in the fall though. I dislike just about every single coat and jacket that is appropriate for rainy weather. AHHHH
Where did you get your raincoat from 7:33? Looks super cool!
Besides sweaters
1- brown leather jacket
2- black leather jacket
3- navy pea coat
4- grey over coat
5- brown parka
6- black parka
7- black shell jacket
8- brown rain jacket
9- beige mac jacket
10- denim jacket
If my slim fit shirt size is between 18-20 inches pit-to-pit, how much do you recommend sizing up measurement-wise for something like a peacoat or car coat that I intend to layer with? I'm thinking at least 21 inches, but maybe as much as 23 inches? How do yours compare?
Brock, what do you think of maroon color? I really like that color but still get confused how to match it in my daily outfit. I see that you rarely talk about this color. Would you please give me some insights?
I have all of these so I guess I love it all and cant decide? 😂
Hey mate, whats the grey shirt you are wearing at 7:05 ? Thanks!
Any experience on the buck Mason leather bomber jacket?
I liked this brock. You were really funny when you were describing the lifestyle. Volvo station wagon, going to lacrosse, with Landon. A little accurate, was that you?
Haha that was not me, but I knew the type from high school. I was in the jazz band, wore baggy jeans and skipped class regularly 😏
Where can I find that wool topcoat with the zip underneath?
Hi Brock, where is the jacket you're wearing in the far right of the thumbnail from?
My current collection
Grey top coat
Tan harrington jacket
Navy field jacket
Black down jacket
Hi. I really love your top coat but I cant find it in your link. Can you send me the brand or the exact link? I did already have your beckett simonon boot. Thanks
Did I miss the grey jacket in the far right off the thumbnail photo? Anybody know where it’s from?
Where did you get that top coat with the inner lining
supporting you from the beginning big bro 😃💖
I appreciate you 🙏
@@BrockMcGoff 🙏🙏💖💖💖
I always like your tips and the clothing you wear I’m not about that streetwear
Brazil is a very hot country to live in. It is summer through 365 days. And I live in Rio de Janeiro, it is hotter than Recife or Fortaleza. I really like minimalist outfit and all those dark colours, but I really do not know how to adapt it to a Brazilian ever hot weather.
The jeans around the 7 minute mark what are those?
Did I miss the Asket overshirt?
Carhartt has a fantastic Parka, tho its a little pricey. 250? I think... but cant beat the warmth/quality and price.
When you live in FL. What is cold?
anyone know the name of the patagonia wind breaker?
What's the third in the thumbnail called?
I'm a dumb bitch in Southern California and have 2 peacoats and 8 parkas, 4 sherpa jackets, 2 trench jackets, a sherpa denim trucker, a faux fur corduroy trucker, 6 shells and so many sweaters on top of all that. I have a problem!
Hmm, I'm tall and thin... wondering if I can pull off wearing a long pea trench coat. Never worn anything of that style.
Brand of each jacket covered in video?
Im surprised you didnt included cardigan in this list
Can I get an ID on the navy bomber jacket?
I need some criticism for my outerwear collection:
Winter
1 Down Parka
1 Wool Coat
1 N1 Deck Jacket
Fall/Spring
1 Duck Canvas Coat
1 Dressy Raincoat
1 Denim Jacket
1 Corduroy Jacket
Summer
1 Linen Field Coat
1 Linen Car Coat
1 Cotton Ripstop Bomber
Outdoors
1 Ski Jacket
1 Camo Coat
1 Down jacket
I have a feeling it's way too many. Which ones should I eliminate?
Have you worn all of them in the past year?
@@BrockMcGoffSome are once or twice a year for outdoor activities.
The rest, yes, but not that much with the pandemic.
Where did you bought your topcoat?
Banana Republic, but it's many years old (they don't make it anymore).
Which wool top coat do you have or recommend?
I have one custom sized overcoat form Suitsupply and one old one from Banana Republic (had the sleeves shortened). Both are great!
Yeah I’m going to need the EXACT model of the top coat. Pictures, measurements, page cache, the whole nine yards.
t-shirt and jeans... I rarely get cold so I never get to wear my nice jackets 🥲
Parka & top coat = the duffle coat.
Wicked hilarious, except my friend, Landon, is a little pissed right now!
Nice video. But none of these brands make pieces for short men unde 5'5''.
When talking about fashion in general, it helps to be slender. I’m a big boy who enjoys fashion and the latest trends, but it doesn’t seem like the industry was meant for big boys and girls.
Following Trends gets Expensive
I'm not trying to be offensive, but try to lose weight. I was also fat 2 years ago, but I've lost over 70 pounds, now I'm in a healthy weight. There is no need to starve yourself, just eat a little less, cut back on your sugar and alcohol intake, that will probably be enough. Also workout if you can, being muscular is also a very nice trait.
I’m five four inches what is my size please
Formal collection video ....
Bruh Modern Minimalist was my exact Outerwear collection LOL
ppl dont show love to peacoats anymore. its always overcoats/topcoats. idk what changed
My outerwear collection:
1. Oversized black zip up hoodie
2. Athletic black zip up hoodie
3. Gray zip up hoodie
4. Navy zip up hoodie
5. Anime vibe waterproof parka w hood I got a Porter Robinson music festival.
Yea I think I found the right video.
Zip up hoodies are pretty versatile tho, can wear it in 90f weather or freezing, just as long as it doesn't rain too hard.
Ok Bro,i prefer wearing formal to ........
I feel called out by your New York comment. Because that is my style. I describe my style as, when you work in downtown Manhattan in the morning but have to visit the homies in the south Bronx by the evening.
Jacket brand at 5:12 please ?
Alpha Industries N3B parka 👍🏼
I searched Modest. Not skinny jeans. Why did this show up
Dude if you live in the real southern California you don't need a jacket till November. There's no spring and summer or fall and winter it's just summer 80 percent of the year and 20 percent winter.
Don't get it twisted I'm a huge fan of your channel
Lol u definitely don’t need so many jackets. One or two light And a down.
I LOVE the look of a double breasted peacoat, or a nice car coat…but no matter what fabric, color, cut, etc. every time i throw one on, I look like absolute crap. :(
Has anyone ever told you you sound just like Rand Paul?
