With the onset of autumn and the subsequent cold weather, each woman of fashion tends to wrap herself in warm outer clothing, choosing a model that is not only warm and comfortable, but also stylish. An excellent choice can be a coat, since this product combines many functional qualities.
Several centuries ago, women's coats were a long product with a hood, but without sleeves, made of warm cashmere fabric. Nowadays, this model, having undergone some changes in its style, has again found popularity in the fashion world.
A long coat is in unprecedented demand, which is not surprising, because this product has a lot of advantages.
Models
The model range of long coats is not very different products of different cut and style, since the main differences lie only in small details.
With fur
Fur decors, which can be made in different ways, look very impressive and rich.
Fur collar gives the product sophistication and a certain charm, which are typical for clothes in retro style. And fur pockets - a very unusual decor.
With belt
Often, having no fasteners, the coat is equipped with a beautiful fabric belt, which is made of the same material as the product itself.
The belt visually divides the figure in half, dividing the emphasis on the waist, which will definitely look good. Such a model is perfect for both slim girls and full ladies.
Warm
Winter and light overcoat, as a rule, is equipped with insulated lining, made of dense warm material, such as sintepon, fleece, wool fiber or even natural fur with a small pile.
Lung
Lightweight models do not have such a lining, but can not be made completely without it. A layer of thin fabric, hemmed from the inside is necessary from an aesthetic point of view to hide all internal seams.
Overseas
In addition, long coats can be wide, in overlays, narrow straight or fitted with flared bottom.
Fashion trends 2016 - 2017
This year is famous for the fashion for long coats, since the era of mini clothing has been left far behind and restraint and chastity have entered the fashion again.
In frosty periods, you want to wrap yourself in outerwear, as if in a soft blanket and feel most comfortable. An oversized coat will be the perfect choice for this, as this model is the most comfortable due to its free fit.
Coats with a variety of decor, interesting prints and all kinds of fur ruffles are in demand.
And also, along with these trends, minimalism is quite common - plain coats with minimal eye-catching details are unprecedentedly popular.
the cloth
Coats are made from a variety of materials, the main advantage of which is a dense structure with thermal properties and high wear resistance.
Coat fabrics are selected according to the seasons, since warm products are relevant only in extreme cold, and light ones are perfect for a little coolness.
From the raincoat fabric
Cloak fabric is often used to make light coats. The product can be equipped with a thin lining or made in a single layer, but in this case it is necessary to see that all the seams are neatly stitched and overlaid.
From cotton
Thick cotton fabric is very often used to make trench coats. This material often has a special moisture-resistant impregnation, which perfectly protects the product from getting wet in rainy weather.
Knitted
A knitted coat is also quite light, since even thick yarn will not protect against strong wind, but will be a wonderful addition to the image with a dress made of light, flowing fabric.
From wool
A coat made from woolen fabrics like gabardine or boucle is rather thick and durable. Often, the product is equipped with sinteponovoy or fleece lining, which makes the coat more warm, because these materials are well warmed and retain heat.
Fabrics such as vigon and beaver have a similar fiber structure. A short standing pile on a thick, stiff wool fabric, obtained by combing, looks quite good and is also quite warm.
Cashmere
The cashmere coat looks luxurious and expensive, and the matte, smooth structure of the material is very soft and pleasant to the touch.
From alpaca
The alpaca coat, homemade mountain llama wool, looks like velvet, but has one significant drawback: in places of greatest friction, the fabric can lose its original appearance.
Bologna
The coat made of Bolonian material, which is usually called a down jacket, has a swan down stuffing, due to which it will be an excellent choice of outerwear for hard frosts.
Colour
Choosing a coat of a certain color, you should take into account fashion trends to create the most successful image that combines many qualities.
This season, incredibly popular soft, delicate shades that emphasize the femininity and elegance of girlish nature.
Light-menthol, delicate cream, fascinating light-lilac, as well as milky, ivory and champagne will be an excellent choice, indicating the sophistication of the stylistic taste of the owner of such a product.
Dark deep shades emphasizing the subtle features of the face and fascinating eye color are also in fashion. Colors such as marengo, merlot, almandine, crimson, pistachio and silky are the most popular.
Classic shades such as dark green, brown, navy blue, beige, black and white are also successful, but with light shades there may be some difficulties.
The white color is not very practical, as it is very easily soiled, and some stains may be difficult to remove.
With a beige color things are a little better, but still it is worth treating such a coat carefully and avoid heavy pollution.
How to choose?
Choosing a coat, you should pay attention to many, including small, details, talking about the quality of the product.
For example, it is worth carefully studying the fabric, by probing. Since many unscrupulous sellers often give out synthetic material for natural, people who do not know this overpay, buying a product that is not worth it.
- Synthetics are bad because they are less durable. Synthetic fibers that mimic woolen fabric often roll under friction. Also, synthetics can cause an allergic reaction that is not safe for health.
- The second, no less important factor that you should pay attention to when buying a coat is seams.
- The product must be carefully stitched, and the excess threads are cut without damaging the seam itself, in order to prevent its further destruction.
- If there is fur on the product, you should pay attention to its quality, since fur can be both natural and synthetic artificial. Although artificial fur is a more budget and financially advantageous material, everything does not have such high quality and durability as natural, which should be chosen.
- Neatly sewn lining and carefully stitched hem are also a sign of high-quality manufacturing of the product.
- It is worth carefully examine the fastener and buttons, which may also be a marriage.
What to wear?
The issue of combining a long coat with other products is of concern to many girls, since this product is the most capricious and demanding in its use.
A long coat is impossible to wear with anything and be sure that the product will hide the entire outfit underneath. On the contrary, a long coat more than others needs a competent combination with other attributes of a wardrobe.
This model of the coat allows you to wear trousers flared and wide models, because under the long coat itself they will not be so visible and will not seem out of place.
Skirts of various lengths, shorts, leggings and all kinds of tight-fitting trousers go well with a long coat.
As for shoes, the choice of it is quite wide, but not every model is suitable for combination with a coat.
The most advantageous, of course, look shoe boots, shoes and boots with high heels, making the image more spectacular, sophisticated, and the silhouette more elongated and stately.
But not always heels would be appropriate, for example, on a day off, many would prefer flat shoes or small wedges.
Coat straight cut, without a belt looks good with sports models of shoes such as slip-on sneakers, espadrilles, elegant sneakers and sneakers. So the image will look everyday and without excesses.
An excellent way out of the situation in cold weather will be boots with a flat sole. It is better to choose an elongated model - to the knee, because it looks like it looks the most impressive and beautiful.
Do not forget about the accessories, which should also go well with a coat.
Perfectly suited for small handbags on a long strap, beautiful scarves and stylish gloves, which should be chosen depending on the length of the sleeve.
Spectacular images
Incredibly stylish looks image created from seemingly quite simple things. Gray skinny jeans with a high waist, black long-sleeved V-neck, a long red oversight overcoat with one button, with rolled up sleeves - a pledge of an interesting, stylish look. A perfect complement and unusual detail will be purple heels with heels.
The image with light elements of sports style also looks quite impressive, and playing on contrasts makes the outfit a winning one. Black jeans with ripped knees, a black cashmere pullover, and a long white trench coat are a great choice for a weekend look. And small details such as black and white sneakers and a medium-sized black rectangular clutch will be a great addition.
The image created from a combination of a light pink skirt just below the knee, black socks and light-colored sneakers with a thick sole, looks quite elegant, but very unusual. The highlight of the look is that both the top of the cappuccino hue and the long gray coat are made of the same wool fabric and differ only in color. Complementing the image of a white bag, as well as rolling up the sleeves, you can give a slightly sloppy, cheeky look alongside.
