Sleeveless coat

I wanted to start with the fact that this new fashionable little thing so far is mainly fun on the catwalks and is not widely popular in our country, however, today, within half an hour, I met two girls in a sleeveless coat and they looked, I must say, very impressive. So, still uses it? And, obviously, deservedly.

The fashion industry does not stand still, stereotypes are actively breaking down, the boundaries of consciousness are being pushed, and a fashionable thing is appearing that until recently it would have been difficult to imagine in our wardrobe - a sleeveless coat that allows you to create unusual “ordinary looks”.

The main feature of a sleeveless coat is that it is, as it were, not quite a coat. But the tongue also doesn’t dare to call it an elongated sleeveless jacket or vest - it is still a rather elegant thing, even if sometimes with an emphasis on sports style.

Sometimes they try to call him a cape, but this is not entirely correct. Cape is almost a poncho, but tailored to the shoulder line, loose or in shape, usually without sleeves, but with slots for the hands. A coat without sleeves is a coat, elegant or piquant, strict or perky, athletic or military.

Despite the fact that the sleeveless coat has only recently left the catwalks for ordinary women, the number of models is surprising in its diversity:

• Coat vest. The English style, strict silhouette, to which the fact that this is still a coat, gives a special piquancy.

• Two details distinguish a sleeveless cardigan coat at once: it is collarless, like a real, but elongated cardigan, and sleeveless.

• Lightweight sleeveless coat.One of the favorite details of the wardrobe of the unsmiling wife of the famous football player, Victoria Beckham. In the summer it looks especially unbanal, but always very stylish.

• Sleeveless coat with slots for the hands. Just the same cape, which was mentioned above. Both men and women can wear.

• Coat without sleeves with a hood. As a variation of casual style or, when adding sneakers, a sporty look, but also a sporty accent, this one is also quite elegant.

A sleeveless coat can be, like a real coat, short (very much like a vest), medium length (this length accounts for most of the variety of such coats) and very long (which is especially suitable for tall girls).

• Summer models of sleeveless coats are sewn from cotton material, lace lined. Such a thing made of jacquard fabric is very beautiful.
• Warmer models are made of tweed, cashmere, wool.

• Especially stylish and unusual looks like a coat made entirely of leather or suede or with inserts from these materials.
• Interesting models with fur trim or made entirely of fur, natural or artificial.

The colors of the coat without sleeves do not differ from their "full" relatives - the same variety of colors. White and black - classic, beige and gray - elegance, very spectacular blue and green colors, shocking red coat of this style can not help but pay attention to its owner.

The main thing is to remember that a coat is outerwear, and this model, due to the lack of sleeves, obliges you to combine it with the rest of the clothes in both color and stylistic terms.

The season when you can wear a coat without sleeves is both long and short - on the one hand, especially in our country, it is often either too hot for him or too cold, on the other hand - he can be worn both in late spring and summer, and with the onset of autumn.

And for the ladies at the wheel, this period is extended for some more time - it is very convenient to drive a car in such a coat. Therefore, sleeveless coats are worn, figuratively speaking, when the frost is gone, but the heat has not come yet.

Choosing what to wear with such a coat model, it is necessary to proceed from the planned image and weather conditions.

• For casual style - straight cut, sleek design in conjunction with jeans of different styles, turtlenecks (light or warm, depending on the season). An interesting accessory will be short knitted gloves. With jeans or sneakers, a casual look can easily go sporty.
• For the office - the calm colors of strict but elegant coats with pencil skirts or skinny jeans and shoes with a steady heel.

• For romantic meetings - elegant fitted, bright colors coat without sleeves with light dresses of neutral tones and stilettos. If your dress has short sleeves, or your hands generally remain naked, then leather long gloves will be an excellent complement to the romantic look.

As with regular coats, a rule should work with a sleeveless coat: one thing should be voluminous. If your coat has a flared style, then choose narrow jeans, trousers or pencil skirts.

A handbag is also better to choose a small one. If you have chosen a fitted style, then your appearance in flared pants will be very effective.

Keep in mind that if your coat is decorated with a massive collar, then the shoes should balance your silhouette, which means that pumps are best left for lighter models and put on ankle boots or ankle boots.

• Christian Dior offers a combination of sleeveless coats of pure and rich colors with a-line dresses or slim elongated sweaters.

• Cropped and rather heavy-looking coats of two types of drap from Max Mara are complemented by a straight skirt made of golden lacquer fabric with reptile skin effect and closed shoes made of similar material. Hands remain bare.

• An unusual image from Givenchi designers is a velvet dark green coat with a small turn-down brocade collar, and to it - naughty short black gloves made of translucent black fabric.

• A very stylish model from Hermes is, in fact, a cardigan made of combination fabric with a very beautiful autumn color scheme (ocher, brown, dark green), with rounded floors, without a collar and fastener, with a red reptiloid belt.

• For women, the military's preferred style is a sloppy and rough coat of felt-like fabric from Isabel Marant.

• A checkered zipped overcoat with a white fluffy collar, worn over a thin checkered sweater, complemented by leather gloves, loose high-waisted trousers and flat-bottomed boots is an extremely cozy looking look from Rodarte.

• And again, unsurpassed Victoria Beckham - an ivory summer sleeveless coat with an elegant clasp on the side. Fashionable, recognizable style.

• A trapezoidal coat of gray-blue color with a wrap, a wide shawl collar, decorated with black lace, complemented by wide trousers with lapels of the same color and black gloves to the elbow - a somewhat unexpected, “pajama” version from Antonio Marras.

A summer coat without sleeves almost without a collar, but with large lapels of the shelves themselves, the color of coffee with milk looks extremely elegant with a light dress, a large clutch in tone and sandals.

Another summer option in which you will definitely not go unnoticed - a green coat without sleeves and a collar, medium length, with a spectacular geometric pattern, on a wide belt, perfectly combined with a long turquoise skirt of soft knitted fabric and a lace t-shirt with short sleeves of one colors with a skirt. In addition - a green fabric scarf, green ankle boots made from cut-out leather on a stiletto heel, large plastic bracelets, silver turquoise earrings and an elegant bag in white and turquoise colors.

No less elegant and sophisticated look, but cooler by the weather, you will have a black short coat with a detachable peplum skirt at the waistline and a black and white high-necked sweater. This also includes shabby blue skinny jeans and closed suede high-heeled shoes with ribbon lacing. A small bag made of perforated leather with a long strap, large jewelry and watches harmoniously complement the image of a confident lady.

A stylish option for a walk is a striped sleeveless coat, the style of which imitates a wraparound dress, a striped pencil skirt that also imitates an odor, a salmon-colored shirt blouse, stilettos with coral-white stains. Large stripe jewelry in the same strip, a long coral-colored watch, a small tablet bag and ... a bright red hat. Calm shocking - why not a name for a new style?

In already quite cold weather - a sweater with braids of warm sand color and a brown semi-fitted coat without sleeves and a collar, with wide tops of shelves in front with a belt of the same color just looks amazing with narrow jeans in blue, ankle boots made of ocher color material. You will be even more elegant if you take as an accessory a bag a tone darker than jeans and sunglasses in a horn-rimmed tortoise color.

A sleeveless coat is not a stranger to even a sporty style - a burgundy coat with a shawl collar and a wide belt, skinny jeans, matching sneakers and a bright sweater with a pattern. Accessories are a burgundy watch, black sunglasses and a medium-sized black bag.

And the outfit for the most daring - all in an orange-red palette: from sleeveless coats in the same style of Victoria Beckham and a skirt with a tropical floral pattern to orange sandals made of stiletto heels.
