The jacket has long been one of the mandatory items not only for men, but also for women’s wardrobe. Most often it is used as an element of a business or evening dress.
Modern designers create many models of jackets for any occasion. They can be of different lengths, cut, made of different fabrics. Each new season at the peak of fashion there are more and more new models, but the classic jacket is relevant, regardless of fashion trends.
Models
Analogs of modern jackets appeared a few centuries ago. Many years have passed since then; fashion trends have changed more than once, but the jacket finally entered the men's wardrobe only at the end of the 19th century. Women's jacket came into vogue much later - in the second half of the XX century.
A classic jacket can be single-breasted or double-breasted. The difference is in the number of vertical slats with buttons. Single-breasted has one slat, double-breasted - two. Single-breasted jacket is the most popular model, it is perfect for everyday use.
Double-breasted jacket is considered an element of a more formal and strict style. It is often an obligatory part of a business trouser or skirt suit.
Jackets are sewn from different fabrics, most often it is costume fabric, tweed, wool, denim, leather, knitwear, corduroy, velvet.
The jacket can be of different lengths, but it is believed that the classic model should have a length to the middle or slightly below the thigh.
The classic model can have loose or slightly fitted fit. Direct fit allows you to hide figure flaws, and tight-fitting - to emphasize all its advantages.
Blazers with elbow pads are not only practical, but also very stylish models. Inserts are usually made of leather or other wear-resistant material and may have a close or contrasting shade.
The color scheme of classic models is traditional: black, blue, gray, brown, white. However, modern trends have allowed to significantly expand this line, adding shades of green, violet, lingonberry, sand and other colors.
As for prints, classic patterns for jackets are always the same: a cage, a strip, a goose foot.
