If the coat is a traditional long product, then the short coat is shortened. The short coat is usually no longer than the middle of the thighs, it opens up a view of the buttocks, otherwise there are no differences.

In addition, in modern coats not only buttons, but also rivets, as well as zippers are used. For example, a jacket-jacket, a jacket jacket, a jacket jacket can be zipped, and a bomber jacket can be zipped or riveted.

The seasonality of the coat affects whether it will be thin or dense, with insulation or not, as well as how waterproof the material is. Many options can be in small details, such as pockets (overhead, welt, pockets in the seam), cutouts (rectangular, round, v-shaped or without them), the presence of a collar, lapels and a hood, the use of decorative elements in the cut ( shuttlecocks, basca, belt).

For full girls, a trapezoid coat is suitable, as it perfectly hides all the flaws due to its flared top.

The material from which the coat is made also matters. In priority tweed, drape with pile and fabric, made under the scrawl. It is necessary to abandon heavy materials, as in a coat of them you can look more heavy. Moderate length - to the knee or to the calf, but not to the floor.

Suit classic dark gray and brown colors, rich green, blue, burgundy. As for the decor, it should be less on those parts of the figure that you want to hide.

One of the main trends was and will remain an oversize coat, and it is best if it has long sleeves, large collars, wide lapels. Do not be afraid that the product, in fact, a couple of sizes larger than required, because oversizes are ideal for daily images.

Out of time there is a black coat, especially in combination with classic models. But this season there will be white, pastel shades, and also, on the contrary, bright trends: fuchsia, orange, purple.

Among the prints, the leaders are the cage (any color combination and size, the order of alternation), an animal motif in unnatural colors (for example, purple leopard spots), floral ornament and ethnic themes.

Wool materials are dense, natural (it happens with the addition of artificial fibers) and with good thermal insulation. These include: gabardine, diagonal, crepe, boucle, tweed, vigon, cashmere, drape, ratin, flakome, beaver, bike, velor, cloth, jersey; felt, loden, felt (felted wool).

Lighter coats are sewn from cotton fabrics: moleskin, corduroy, velvet. Non-natural fabrics for coats: bologna, polyester, raincoat fabric, fleece. Mixed composition in materials such as jacquard, plush, openwork.

Coats are also sewn from non-traditional materials for this outerwear: sheepskin, fur and leather (artificial and natural). There are knitted demi-season coats of thick yarn, mohair, grass (fleecy yarn).

To insulate the coat is used lining, and the top lining. In lighter models, only the lining, which is sewn of polyester, nylon, viscose. The strongest are polyester and kapron.

The most popular heat insulation material is a synthetic winterizer, but not the best one. This is a hard, compared with other material, besides, it will only be heated with sufficient thickness for this.

Sintepuh is a synthetic polyester fluff impregnated with silicone. It is voluminous and thick, but soft, light and environmentally friendly. Unlike natural down does not roll down after washing.

Hollofiber - non-woven material consisting of polyester fibers. It is very warm and does not crease, light, soft, rather thin. Thinsulate is a warm material, despite the small volume and thickness.

It is the easiest and thinnest of insulation, unpretentious and dries quickly. Therefore, along with sintepuh and holofiber, it is currently the most used material for the substrate.

The most common colors for coats are black, gray, beige and white. They do not go out of fashion and are used to create both business and youth images.

In addition to the basic colors, mustard, ocher, orange, golden brown, and blue are also common. From time to time, bright or, conversely, pastel colors become fashionable: lilac, mint, emerald, fuchsia, pink, metallic.

Often you can see two-tone coat, for example, black and white, red and black, purple and yellow.

Print - one of the ways to decorate the material. The most used motifs are geometry (cage, stripes, complex shapes, goose foot), flowers (large and detailed, or small patterns with petals).

As a decor for outerwear, all kinds of stripes, prints, as well as other materials are used.

With the help of embroidery and appliqués, you can lay out whole ornaments and bright patterns. Stones, beads, metal parts, buttons emphasize one or another style of the product, draw attention to the part of the coat to which they are sewn.

Sometimes the decoration is the coat details themselves, for example, leather sleeves or leather inserts on them look very stylish and bold. Fur is in fashion, so it is often found on the collar, pockets, hood, cuffs and hem.

Coat - quite an expensive thing, especially if purchased in a branded store. In order not to get into prosak and not be disappointed with the purchase, you should be careful when choosing.

Coats that include more than ninety percent of natural material are never very bright. Such material is poorly subjected to staining. However, natural beige and golden, chocolate, white and black colors look very beautiful, so do not be upset.

Wool blend coats are widespread, in which up to ninety percent of natural fibers, and all other synthetic. They are cheaper, but if the wool is less than seventy percent, then with the advent of cold weather such a coat will not warm.

There are coats and completely made of synthetic fabrics. They retain heat poorly, so they are more suitable for spring and early autumn. But it is suitable in the event that there is an allergy to wool.

For a coat to last as long as possible, it must have tight, well-ironed seams. Of them should not stick thread. The same applies to the seams of the lining. Thin stitches can crumble and then the coat will break apart, so be sure to measure your coat, move your arms in it.

In addition, the coat should sit well on the shoulder line and in no case squeeze them. Pay attention to the length of the sleeves, they must be up to the knuckles above the fingers. This is due to the fact that when the coat is worn daily, you will need a reserve for the elbow bend and shrinkage of the coat as a whole.

It is worth paying attention not only to fabric, but also fasteners. They should be tightly sewn and not fall off even at the stage of purchase. If inside the buttons are duplicated with small buttons, then this is for the better.

Such a technique will not allow the material to quickly deform from daily wear. If the coat is with a zipper, you should definitely fasten it and check that the buckle does not jam anywhere.

With the figure “triangle” (shoulders and waist narrow, hips wide), one should choose fitted coats with flared bottom. To add "volume" of the upper part, you can buy a model with a large collar, ruffles or decor.

If the figure is “apple” (narrow shoulders and hips, the waist is not necessarily wide, but it looks disproportionate), then you should choose a coat with an offset waistline, asymmetrical or single-breasted models.

When the figure is a "rectangle" (about the same width of shoulders, waist, hips), it is worth wearing a coat with belts, patch pockets, voluminous appliqués, as they give more smooth lines to the silhouette.

Everyone is more fortunate for those who have an hourglass figure (approximately the same width of shoulders and hips, thin waist), because they can wear any model of coat.

For girls of short stature, it is preferable to make a choice in the direction of shortened or midi coats. High-top coat should be worn to visually separate the figure and focus on the waist.

Bulky, wide coats look best with tight-fitting things, such as jeans, pants, leggings, leggings (if the coat is sporty), pencil skirts, and shorts. If the style is straight, then the lines of clothing should be the same, for example, straight dresses, skirts, wide trousers.

Flared coats can be worn with flared skirts and dresses. Under the coat, depending on the weather, not only thin blouses, blouses, tops, but also warm thick sweaters, shirts, and jackets are allowed.

Many details (large collar, lapels, hoods, patch pockets), dark color - make the product heavier. From this factor depends on the choice of accessories. For example, if the collar is already large, then the scarf should be selected thin and worn under a coat, not outside.

Shoes should be matched to the overall style. We are talking about boots, shoes, shoes, boots, boots. Depends on the model and style whether to use shoes with a heel or on a flat sole, on a platform or a thin stiletto.

The height of the shoe also depends on the length of the coat. The thicker the coat, the more stable and rougher the shoes should be. Some styles, for example, overlays, can be safely worn with sneakers, sneakers, even sneakers.
