Coats and Jackets



Don't forget to put these tropes on, or you'll Catch Your Death of Cold.

Oh sure, most coats in Real Life and fiction are worn for warmth and other kinds of protection, but just as often in fiction, they can be used to say something about a character, or add a slight touch of style to a scene. Whether it's a leather jacket, a trench coat, a suave blazer, or a fur coat, these garments can fulfill a lot of tropes.

These tropes can overlap with various other tropes, like Costume Porn, Bling of War, Rule of Glamorous, Rule of Cool.
