When the severe frosts subside and the first warm spring days come, every girl will surely want to change her winter outerwear for a lighter, more colorful option.
A beautiful spring top will be a coat that can protect you on cold days from the cold, as well as protect it from the weather, making the image bright and attractive.
In general, a coat, as an element of the upper wardrobe, began its existence a long time ago, being initially exclusively a man's dress.
For a long time and to this day, the classic model of a coat of strict cut is an indispensable part of a military dress uniform, because a solid appearance in combination with high functionality is the best option.
But this period of time did not last too long, and soon the coat became available for the women's wardrobe, representing a dense long cloak with a hood and openings for hands.
A little later, the famous Couturiers contributed to the style and cut of the coat, thanks to which it has a look in which it appears to us, and to this day it is popular.
Models and styles
World fashion trends never cease to amaze with new, more and more stylish models almost weekly, thanks to which shop windows are filled with stylish coats for every taste and color.
Coats take on a different appearance due to the cut and cut, which also makes it possible to select a model depending on the build and the shape of the figure.
For example, the classic coat model has a straight cut, and can also be equipped with double sides and a fold-over collar. The classic coat is especially well suited to conservatives, as well as lovers of classic office style.
A distinctive feature of quilted coat patterns is stitched material in the form of small squares, rectangles or rhombuses. Although this model looks sophisticated and elegant, it still has some playful elements.
Coats may also differ in the way of fasteners, each of which is characterized by certain external or functional features.
For example, the model on the smell has a beautiful wide belt made of the same fabric. It can be tied in the form of a bow, which will give the product a lighter, more romantic look.
The zipper is a more functional and convenient clasp that does not require any additional effort from the owner of the coat. Lightning is easy to use and especially good for people leading an active lifestyle.
There is a coat fastener option for buttons. These can be ordinary round or square elements, matched to the product. Or decorative buttons decorated with rhinestones and precious stones.
The buttonhole clasp in the form of wolf tusks, the eyelets of which are made of cotton fabric as an independent element, is a distinctive feature of the coat model with a hood, which is called a duffle coat.
The coat on the padding polyester will be, by the way, in cold weather, because the lining of this material warms very well, and is also able to trap heat under clothing, while absorbing excess moisture.
Light coats can be made of thin cotton material, as a knitted model, as well as in the form of a single-layer product, but from a more dense fabric.
In addition, many models of the coat are equipped with a hood, which allows you to cover your head from strong wind, rain or sudden snowfall.
Styles
Depending on the epoch and time, a certain style was in the trend, but fashion trends are subject to change, and high demand requires the presence of several different styles in shop windows so that everyone can choose a suitable coat model.
The classic style, as already mentioned, is characteristic of a business image or office work attire, since outerwear is an integral part of the dress as well as its first main characteristic.
In addition, the classic style is used to create a uniform for girls in military or public service.
Coat in retro style has the appearance characteristic of the corresponding period. Flared lower part is made in the form of a fluffy skirt, which makes the product incredibly feminine, and the fitting top gives it restraint.
A worthy replacement for the classic style will be a coat, made in the style of the derby, which is characterized by straight lines and restrained silhouettes. This style also features riding clothes.
Coats in sporty style are well combined with a trouser bottom, and are also popular among fashionistas who prefer the option of outdoor activities.
Slightly similar features between each other have a coat in the style of a military and a coat in the style of a safari, since the cut and style of clothing in these styles match, and a distinctive feature is the color range. For one of these styles, swamp shades are characteristic, and for the other - sandy.
The oversized style is characterized by the manufacture of products, the size of which visually looks larger than necessary. Coats in this style allows you to hide figure flaws under clothing.
But it is worth being careful and not overdoing it, since such a coat can create excessive volume, which will visually add a few kilograms.
Sleeve
The sleeves of a coat can be of varied cut, length and size, but depending on them, the appearance of the product varies dramatically.
The coat can be equipped with a one-piece sleeve that does not have a single shoulder seam, and is fastened only with a seam in the axillary region. Such a model is not suitable for everyone, since folds may occur on some of the figures.
In addition to differences in the style and pattern of the sleeve, there is also a characteristic difference in length, which can also be varied.
The raglan sleeve has a characteristic, more enlarged axilla, which makes it looser and visually more voluminous. This model is most popular among obese people, because the raglan sleeve does not squeeze the hand.
Slightly similar to the raglan sleeve, the bat sleeve is cut, the difference of which lies in an even deeper axillary cut. Such a cut of the sleeves is named after this animal, since its style is a hike on the wings of bats.
There are variants of double sleeves sewn together. The upper part is a wider element of one type of fabric, and the lower part is made in the form of a narrowed sleeve of a completely different fabric.
Sleeve length 3/4 or elbow length is characteristic of lighter models of coats, since it practically does not protect against cold, but serves as a very stylish decorative element, especially in combination with elegant elongated gloves.
Long sleeves are typical for winterized models, since during the cold season it is very important to keep the body warm so as not to put your health at risk for colds.
Coat length
In addition to differences in the length of the sleeves, there are also differences in the length of the product itself. This or that length may be relevant depending on the situation or lifestyle of a person.
For example, short coats are popular with active girls who prefer a trouser bottom, since this is the most harmonious combination with comfortable shoes on a flat sole, some models of which are made in a sporty style.
There are variants of the classic length to the middle of linen, length to the knee, and midi length to the middle of the gastrocnemius muscle. Each of these models looks very feminine and involves a combination with shoes on the platform, wedge heels or high heels.
Some coats in their length reach the ankle and are most popular among the warm outerwear. This length does not allow the wind to blow under the clothes, so the legs, like all other parts of the body, are always warm.
For full
For a certain period of time when fashion houses were obsessed with the imposed standards of a female figure, the choice of coats and other clothes for overweight people was somewhat difficult, so they had to be content with what they had.
For women with a volumetric lower part, it is best to choose a model of a trapezoid cut coat, the lower part of which expands and visually conceals volumes. Such a model will not fit the lower body and unduly focus attention on the shortcomings.
For girls with flaws in the form of a full tummy and plump handles, a model of direct cut with a raglan sleeve or a bat, as well as an oversized coat will suit. These coat models have a free cut that will not squeeze the body and create uncomfortable sensations.
Girls who have a lush top, it is best to choose a coat in retro style with a lush bottom, in order to visually balance the figure, with an emphasis on the waist with a fitted style.
