The most suitable option for demi-season clothes is a short women's coat. In the passing season, the weather is very unstable, and often do not know what to wear. Short coats perfectly cope with this task. In cold weather, such an item of the upper wardrobe will reliably protect from a small wind and damp. And on a sunny day, a short coat will not let you overheat.
Also, this type of outerwear will allow you to demonstrate fashionable pants or skirt in all its glory.
Models
Whatever the diversity of women's short coats, they all boil down to the 6 most common styles. When choosing to focus on your body shape and wardrobe.
Smooth style. He is the most common. It can be single-breasted or double-breasted. Included may be a belt. An interesting coat model with shoulder straps and a stand-up collar. A product of this style may resemble a jacket.
Trapeze style model. This silhouette is often called A-shaped. It is indispensable for girls whose shoulders are much wider than the hips. Trapeze coat will give balance to your figure.
Mixed models look interesting: a voluminous coat with narrowed sleeves.
Coat bathrobe. This style has become another fashion trend in 2016. This model looks truly luxurious. This is proven by the designers of the successful Italian company Max Mara, who include a coat-robe in each of their collections.
Poncho. This coat model is a real must have for girls whose figure does not look perfect. Volumetric cut will hide many of the flaws of body. Also under the coat in the form of a poncho, you can safely wear a sweater of any density. Not every coat can boast such an advantage.
Such a model of a short coat with narrow trousers and boots without heels looks impressive.
Taper waistline. This model was created to highlight your strengths. She will highlight your waist. The coat with a fitted silhouette goes well with all the skirts, which adds even more femininity to the image.
Coat with a hood. This model is ideal for active girls. You can not worry about their hairstyle in the rain due to reliable protection of the hood. At the same time, he will perfectly complement your image and will not spoil the style, as an unsuccessfully selected cap can do.
Material
Much depends on the choice of material for the coat. How long will you wear it, and will you be comfortable? Therefore it is necessary to take seriously the choice of material. For demi-short coats there are not too many options. This is due to the fact that there are great demands on the material - it must be wearable and keep warm inside.
However, it should not be too warm. And also in no case any deformation of the material, including the appearance of pellets, is allowed.
The best quality material for a light overcoat is cashmere. Many people think that most products are made from it, but it is not. This material is quite rare and valuable. After all, it is not made from goat fur, but from undercoat.
Also, such material can be attributed to one of the most environmentally friendly and even in some sense “moral”. Because to get it, animals are not harmed and do not even cut their fur, and combed out. With one animal can only get a small scarf. Coat requires combing at least about a dozen goats. This explains the high price of the product.
Also, cashmere coat is not an option for every day.I think it would be a pity for every fashionista to wear such a tender, light and expensive product in the rain.
The most popular material for a coat is wool. There are lots of names and varieties. Most often they use purely sheared or 100% wool, since their price is not the most expensive.
The best option for making a coat would be wool. It includes drape, cloth, paltovy fabric. This option will be more expensive than wool products. You can often find a coat of suede or leather. They are durable and look very stylish. But the skin has more advantages than suede. The latter is difficult to clean and it is better not to wet it, which is very difficult to do in the transitional rainy season.
An affordable, massive option is tweed. This fabric has a woolen thread in its composition, so you will not freeze in a coat of tweed. A good choice of material for a demi-season short coat will be a raincoat fabric. It will reliably protect from rain and damp. But at the same time, in such a raincoat you will not be stuffy in sunny weather.
Fashion trends
The main trend in 2016 can rightly be called a cell. Designers introduce a variety of such a model with bright colors and different sizes of the pattern. You can also find a combination of cell and other prints.
Another trend this season is masculine style. Coat smooth silhouette muted tones perfectly highlight your femininity. Feel free to combine a strict men's coat with skirts and dresses.
Also a hit of this season can be called oversize coat. Especially stylish look models in the style of minimalism. Such a short coat will be the most convenient option in demi-season. The tendency towards military style has also affected coat fashion. Double-breasted models with large buttons in dark blue or khaki colors are the most sought after.
How to choose?
First of all, you should pay attention to the quality of the material. It should be durable, lightweight, but at the same time it could reliably protect from strong wind and damp. There are enough materials on the commodity market, the main thing is to find the one that you will like and not hit hard on the budget.
When choosing a style and color, you should focus not only on the appearance of the coat, but also try to compare with what you will wear it. Do you have suitable items in the wardrobe? And the rest - it all depends on the fitting. If the short coat will go to you, then it is already 80 percent of success.
What to wear?
It is impossible to say unequivocally what will be combined with a short coat, and what is not. Everything will depend on the style and color of your chosen product. But there are certain rules for some models.
Smooth model of the short coat matches perfectly with trousers or a skirt in a classic style. This option is suitable for people who want to look stylish, but do not like experiments.
Of course, the most fashionable way this season will be a combination of a coat-robe and sneakers. This set has already got all the women of fashion. But for those who still do not like a combination of classic and sporty style, you can safely wear a coat-robe with shoes with heels or with boots on a flat sole.
The fitted short coat looks great with dresses and all variations of skirts. A coat in the style of a poncho, on the contrary, is better to wear with tight pants.
Images
Such a bow is very popular now. The voluminous gray coats complement the black leather leggings. Conciseness and simplicity of the image is diluted by the large size of outerwear. This style is perfect shoes as a high heel, and on a flat sole.
Very unusual and interesting coat in the style of a jacket. Jeans and a bun on the head dilute the severity of the image, while a white shirt, buttoned to all buttons, echoes it.
A great example of how a military style can be feminine. Add to the voluminous coat of military color the treads in tone under the snake skin - and you will never look like a man for anything.
