A jacket is a thing outside of time and fashion. It can be safely attributed to the list of basic things that should be in the wardrobe of every fashionista. It has long become universal, like a small black dress or pumps.
A kosuha is for everyone, you just need to learn how to wear it and combine it with other things from your wardrobe.
A bit of history
The first jacket, which at that time was exclusively a motorcycle jacket, appeared in the late 20s. Then, for the first time, a zipper appeared on a leather jacket.
“Jacket” is the Russian-language name of the world famous jacket, which in English sounds like “perfecto”. It was given by the creator of the item, Irwin Shot, in honor of the brand of his favorite cigarettes.
Jackets of this brand are still used by pilots, military, police and representatives of various subcultures. Nevertheless, she was and remains a motorcycle jacket.
Kosuha gained popularity in the 50s, after the famous role of Marlon Brando in the movie "Savage". Since then, it has become an integral attribute of musicians, bikers and simply stylish young people.
Today, designers of luxury brands and the ordinary mass market sew jackets of various colors and cuts. Now they can be found in the assortment of men's, women's and even children's fashion.
Kosuha has long ceased to be an informal jacket, moving into the category of comfortable and stylish clothes for every day.
Features
Jacket-jacket is distinguished by a special cut. She has a narrowed waist line, a wide shoulder line, and the zipper is sewn obliquely. Thanks to this feature, it got its name.
The classic model is characterized by very strong and thick leather, which is used for sewing.
Thanks to the belt at the waist, you can adjust the size, and the zippers on the sleeves allow you to freely wear leather motorcycle gloves with long bells.
All this allows the kosukha to fulfill its direct role - protecting motorcyclists from falls. Thanks to the sewn-in elbow pads and shoulder pads, she really helps a lot from bumps.
Modern jackets that are designed for everyday wear, differ from the original models.
Often they are sewn from leatherette or even various fabrics that do not have such protective properties. On the other hand, such a jacket plays the role of a stylish element in the image, and it is called upon to protect it only from the wind and bad weather.
Materials
A classic leather jacket is sewn of high-quality durable leather. But today, such a voluminous and heavy thing is needed only by professional bikers.
If you choose a jacket for everyday wear, you will have enough thin skin, suede or leatherette.
Today, it is often possible to meet black leather jackets from various fabrics. The most common denim, which in its functions is closest to the skin. But cotton, linen, polyester, tweed, thick suit fabric, knitwear and even silk are also used.
Genuine leather models
Despite the popularity of various materials that are used for sewing jackets, genuine leather does not give up its position.
When sewing a classic jacket, cow leather is used, the thickest and most durable. It is necessary to create biker jackets.
Shaped jackets are often sewn from soft and thin sheep skin. It is not very durable, but it is very light and pleasant to wear.
Pigskin is most often used for sewing fake jackets, Chinese copies of well-known brands. Sometimes it can be confused with calfskin, but the properties of this material are also not very durable, so the jacket will not last you long.
Designer leather jackets are made of goat or deerskin. They are very soft and thin, but incredibly durable. The most expensive designer brands use horse or bison leather for tailoring. The latter is considered the most durable and soft at the same time, however, the price of such a product is not available to everyone.
When choosing a jacket made of genuine leather, you should remember that the better and more durable it is, the longer it will last in a sock, delighting you with its quality and excellent appearance.
Color schemes
A black leather jacket is a classic that is relevant at all times. It is easiest to combine with other things from your wardrobe, regardless of their style. True, this is its only drawback.
Due to its widespread popularity, black jackets sometimes look too boring and primitive. Therefore, if you want to stand out from the crowd, and not merge with it, pay attention to the rest of the color scheme.
For example, a light and stylish look will help to create a white leather jacket. It suits young girls who want to emphasize their fragility and grace, and older women, giving them freshness and youthfulness.
You can wear a white jacket, not only with trousers, but also with dresses, business suits, high-heeled shoes.
The brown jacket looks very noble and stylish. Cognac-chocolate color scheme is suitable for those who are tired of black.
She goes well with clothes in the style of country and hippies, so she will become a constant companion of fans of concerts, travel and festivals.
But at the same time, she will easily fit into the everyday or business image, unobtrusively complementing your outfit.
If you want the brown leather jacket to be as versatile as the black one, avoid the abundance of decorative elements: fringe, spikes, rhinestones and other things. So it will be much easier to combine with clothes of any style.
Unusual colors and shades are very popular today, ranging from lilac and pink to mint and egg.
If you want to add brightness to your wardrobe, you can purchase a colored jacket.However, remember that combining it with other things from your closet will be much more difficult.
For example, a blue jacket will perfectly fit into a romantic look with a white, silver or nude dress. And red will complement black total-look. It makes sense to buy a colored leather jacket if you already have a model in classic black.
Are they fit complete?
The advantage of a jacket is its versatility. It suits women with absolutely any type of figure, so girls with forms should not be afraid to enter it into their wardrobe.
They look especially interesting on full jackets; they help visually smooth out some of the figure flaws. Asymmetric zipper makes the silhouette slimmer, sleeves with zippers help to achieve the effect of thin hands, and a comfortable fold on the back does not hinder movements, allowing you to move easily and comfortably.
Especially good looking jackets look on girls with a figure of "pear" and "hourglass", adding volume to the shoulders and emphasizing the waist line, thereby balancing the figure.
If your figure is an “apple”, wear it open so that the elongated shelves visually slim you and hide your tummy.
What to wear?
The jacket can be successfully combined with any things that you find in your closet, the most important thing is to do it right.
Wear it with skirts, dresses, jeans, trousers, leggings, t-shirts, shirts, blues and sweaters.
Biker jacket will be equally appropriate to look with a business suit, a cocktail dress and boyfriend jeans.
In the cold season, girls with a good figure can create multilayer sets that will not only look stylish, but will definitely not let you freeze. For example, a classic coat or a fur coat can be thrown on top of a jacket.
And if you have a sleeveless jacket, put it on top. Experiment by creating trendy and unusual looks.
Do not forget that the jackets came to us from the men's wardrobe, so they look especially charming with delicate female things. A sheath dress or a dress with a tutu skirt will help to create a feminine and elegant look.
If you want to add brutality to the image, wear it with other leather things. It can be skinny pants or a pencil skirt.
In order not to look like a stern biker, make friends with each other using a neutral shirt or light-colored T-shirt.
