Knitted coat

Every woman wants to be not just beautiful, but unique. Designers of fashion houses are constantly looking for new ideas that embody this desire.

Knitted coats can be summer and warm. Summer can be considered as an additional decorative element of summer attire. A warm coat is a demi-season option, it is great for off-season and warm winter, it looks like a long warm cardigan.

Unmistakably recognizable, appropriate in almost any situation, the two-color cardigan coat from Chanel. Today, this style is considered exquisite Parisian, and once Koko Chanel only stated that “a woman should be able to bend down to put on her shoes”, and created the first collection of models from knitted fabric, not considering the fact that she was considered a fabric for the poor.

Coat, knitted using quilting technique. The initial goal of any patchwork is not necessarily pursued - the economical use of fabric or, in this case, yarn, but in case you knit the coat yourself from the remnants of colored threads, achieving this goal will be a pleasant bonus. If the task is not to save money, but simply to create an original thing, then the fans of the “crazy patchwork” style will gladly accept you into their ranks and share a lot of new ideas.

If you like the style itself, then the coat in the style of boho will certainly attract your attention. Simple and elegant, careless and elegant, romantic and natural, innocent and bohemian-like imposing, such a coat will emphasize your individuality, and therefore, will allow you to be the center of attention.

This “rustic” style is characterized by convenience and simplicity, not at all deprived of attractiveness. A coat of natural yarn in natural shades - brown, red, white, gray, will give you not only comfort, but will also bring a drop of the Wild West to your image.

A variety of models of knitted coats can satisfy, perhaps, all tastes. The relevance of the silhouette - trapezoidal, straight or round, depends, first of all, on your desires and your own adequate assessment.

Guided by utilitarian considerations, you can choose a simple straight coat with or without a lining, depending on the time of year you are going to wear it. The choice of a double-breasted model, for example, with patch pockets, will decorate even the simplest version without losing functionality.

• Oversized coat - for confident women. Let it not be romantic at all and even seem to be borrowed from the men's wardrobe, but its accentuated carelessness will make you even more refined. It goes well with a wide cut of a kimono-type sleeve or a bat.

• Cocoon coat. Addition style overseas.Smooth lines and wide contours of a cocoon coat are back in fashion. A lowered armhole, a hem narrowed downwards, voluminous sleeves - a correctly chosen coat in this style, in spite of a rather voluminous silhouette, will not make you look fat. On the contrary, it will emphasize your fragility - the fragility and beauty of the butterfly wings that have not yet opened, to which this style owes its name.

• Sweater coat A cropped casual knit model that looks like an elongated cardigan.

• Poncho coat Effective style, extravagant cut, increased functionality and just a trendy stylish thing. Complemented by a belt and a hood, it will become not only a good protection from the cold, but also one of your favorite items of your warm wardrobe.

• Cape Coats, the style of which is often confused with the style of the poncho, in contrast to which the cap is tailored to the figure. In the cape you will be not only original, but also unusually elegant.

• Knitted coat with fur very quickly gained recognition in everyday life and ceased to be the prerogative of the podiums. Fur is good in itself, but as a trim for pockets, a hood or a collar of a knitted coat, it will add a touch of unobtrusive luxury to your look.

• Knitted coat without sleeves. The sleeveless version is not too widespread due to the climatic peculiarities in our country, but it has a place to be and is especially appreciated by autolady.

A great option for everyday wardrobe - a knitted coat for a cool summer, the perfect addition to an evening wardrobe for any season. Summer coats are different from the warm composition of yarn and knitting density.

When choosing a knitted coat, you can focus on different lengths, ranging from a jacket coat to a knitted coat that is floor-length, trendy this season, depending on where you are going to wear it and the characteristics of your figure.

However, when choosing a length, it should be borne in mind that such a plastic web, especially long and heavy, will necessarily be prone to stretching. If you like a rather long model, it is better to stay on the product with a lining, which will not allow it to stretch too much.

Depending on the style, knitted coats may have a shawl collar (classic feminine version), a stand-up collar (the same classic, but more strict), a large collar (trimmed with shaped yarn, down, fur, it focuses on your originality ) or be without a collar at all.

Classic colors (elegant beige, neutral gray, strict black) are out of fashion, which makes it easy to combine a knitted coat of such tones even with a strict business suit. To the place will also be coffee or ink shades, relevant, according to the designers, this season.

Sports style perfectly matches the whole range from green to blue. A double-breasted, short, crocheted coat of emerald color will greatly embellish your casual look in jeans and sneakers.

Caramel shades, rich blue, warm reds and, of course, sunny yellow of all shades (trend of 2016) or mixed tones of melange yarn of such non-standard element of your wardrobe will look especially cheerful in the warm season.

Knitted fabric with knitted patterns, whether it be jacquard, ethnic patterns or simply multicolored stripes will add to your image immediacy and originality.

The material from which the knitted coat is created can also be very diverse. This knitted knitwear for everyday comfort, which does not require special care, and fluffy types of yarn are cool “grass” for summer and weightless, but very warm and elegant modern silk mohair for a cooler season, which will require attention and care, but will reward you beauty and comfort. Products from a bled yarn look very impressive.

Pure wool yarn, including alpaca, angora, merino, have all the advantages of natural wool: they are warm, with proper care they do not roll and are not deformed, therefore they do not lose their good appearance for a long time. However, it should be borne in mind that, for example, a product made of alpaca, natural camel wool, is likely to be pricked, so you should choose a coat of this yarn only on the lining. Angora will please you with softness and comfort, but soon it will just peel off, as the rabbit's fluff crawls out even when mixing different fibers.

Knitted coats according to the knitting method are divided into two types: knitted by hand or on a knitting machine (individual or industrial version). Handmade products are knitted in various ways using tools: the most common ones are a hook (regular or Tunisian) and knitting needles, less well-known are a fork, a ruler (Peruvian knitting), tenerife, that is, a frame with pins (knitting individual motifs).

Coats can be knitted with motifs or straight weave using very different types of patterns. The simplest of them (it does not mean uninteresting or irrelevant at all) is the facial smoothness and shawl. Available for both manual and machine knitting, very good for coarse knitting coats, when attention is focused on the yarn itself.

For the evening version of the summer knitted coat with or without a lining, you can use a very different from the Aranian, but also the Irish technique of guipure lace or lace.

Knitted fabric obtained by machine, of course, can not boast such a variety of patterns, but it is always very smooth and pleasant. In addition, it is suitable for people who do not know how to knit themselves or do not really like hand made.

The coat does not have to be fully tied. The combination of fabric and knitted linen itself is very beautiful. The combined models look interesting and unbleached: a leather coat with a knitted collar and knitted sleeves, and the collar can also consist of two parts - the inner one from the top fabric, the outer one - knitted.

Knitted coat can be decorated initially or after purchase by its owner. Braid, sequins, fur, lace can be used to decorate such a product.

The characteristic flying silhouette of a short and maxi-length trendy fitted fitted knitted coat is suitable for girls who want to create a luxurious, feminine look. Young women, leading an active lifestyle, will like cardigans, coats, made in sporty style, complemented by a hood. Romantically tuned young ladies choose lace summer knitted coats.

A competently selected model of a knitted coat will help complete women to correct figure flaws and shift the accents to smooth feminine lines. Fluffy ladies most suitable loose coat trapezoid silhouette or coat-capes. Drawing is best to choose a smooth and vertical.

A woman who, as she believes, has a full waist and large hips, should pay attention to the shortened coat, the hem of which is decorated with tassels that draws the silhouette and makes it more slender. An asymmetrical coat, in which fullness is concealed due to the fact that one shelf comes to another, will be an interesting and not boring decision.

A pregnant woman needs special comfort and cozy sensations. Happy future moms are especially suited for soft knitted coats made of natural yarn of free style or with a high waist.

• The best option for all time was and remains the option of a combination of coat-pants. Different styles of coats, length from shortened to maxi + different styles of trousers, from classic to shorts + different shoes, from stilettos to boots with low heels = unlimited number of looks.
• Light fabrics of dresses and blouses, for example, chiffon, as practice shows, are perfectly combined with a coat with a heavy texture of knitting. The image turns out touchingly defenseless.
• Fancy texture yarn or coat with three-dimensional patterns require a combination with things of simple cut in order to avoid overloading.

• Warm knitted coats from Tracy Reese - in fact, cardigans - combine beauty and comfort, simplicity and elegance.
• D. Dolce and S. Gabbana were honored with Scandinavian patterns, with which they decorated their collection of knitted coats.
• Sonia Rykiel - romance in pink shades, which further emphasizes the undulating frame.

And in conclusion - a few words about the simple rules of care for a knitted coat, which will allow you to enjoy for a long time not the most standard, but one of the most original elements of your wardrobe.

• Knitted things in general, and knitted coats, in particular, should be viewed more often in order to detect pollution in time and get rid of them while they are fresh. From time to time such products need to be aired, but in no case under the direct rays of the sun. It is better if the closet in which your knitted coat is stored is not packed to capacity, such a thing needs to be “breathed”.
• Wash a knitted coat with caution, following the directions on the labels if it was bought in a store or on caring for a particular yarn, if you knit the coat yourself. It is not necessary to wash and, moreover, to dry such a thing in a washing machine. It is better to do it manually and dry it horizontally, without hanging. In some cases, it is best to use the services of dry cleaning.
