In the wardrobe of every woman, there are always shoes in which it is convenient ... to sit. The same can be said of any other wardrobe item. So, have you rarely put on a new fashionable thing and stated that, as usual, beauty requires sacrifice, that is, of course, beautiful, but not very convenient? A coat-robe is a rare case of combining the possibility of creating a fashionable and original image with comfort.
Features
A distinctive feature of this extraordinary type of coat is the combination of the incompatible in one name. A dressing gown is the most comfortable, but, as a rule, it does not at all add to the housewife's elegance, first of all, home clothes (we are not talking about peignoirs and similar delights aimed at completely different purposes). It’s great if the dressing gown decorates its owner, but it is unlikely that a woman would come to mind to pay an official visit to it or go to work. For these cases, there is just a coat as one of the types of outerwear.
Coat-gown is a unique option to feel at home in society.
Models
Despite the rather limited design of the coat of this kind, it can be very diverse models:
- Warm. It is sewn of dense, but light and soft materials: wool, cashmere, lightweight drape. Very thick fabrics, as a rule, are not used, since when using them it can be difficult to avoid excess volume. Most often, for a winter coat-gown, an integral accessory is a belt - narrow, wide, or even very wide, from the same fabric or other material. It can be tied in a knot, bow, or fastened with a buckle.
When choosing this model for the cold season, it should be borne in mind that such a coat usually does not provide fasteners at all or is fastened with just a couple of buttons, so it can be cold in the conditions of the Russian winter.
- With fur trim. A spectacular option that can not only decorate a coat, but add a touch of glamor to your entire look. Natural or artificial fur can be located not only on the collar, but also on the cuffs, pockets, sometimes the hem is also trimmed with it. At fashion shows, you can see a coat-robe on a fur lining, the length of which is 15-20 centimeters longer than the length of the coat itself.
- Quilted. Despite the fact that the coat-coat provides a fairly loose cut, sewn from modern trendy quilted fabric, it will not add you unnecessary volume, but it will give you the opportunity to be super-fashionable and feel completely relaxed, it is so light and warm.
- With a hood. A great option for windy weather, when you can put on a hood that protects you and allows you to look beautiful at the same time. Leaning over your shoulders, the beautifully laid hood will be the highlight of your coat. The hood can also be trimmed with fur.
- Lung. Demi-season coat-robe is sewn of wool or cashmere. One of the most popular styles is a raglan coat, which can be worn either with a belt or wide open, like a cardigan.
- Without sleeves. Rapidly bursting onto the catwalks and a cat-like careful step making its way into the streets of our country, the model may also have the style of a coat-dressing gown. She already has an unusual appearance, so that she can afford to be extravagant to the end. In it, you will definitely attract attention.
- Summertime. The materials used are jeans, linen, cotton. Can be with or without lining. On a cool summer evening, wearing a coat of this style, you will become a bait for the eyes.
- Coat-dressing gown for special occasions involves sewing from satin, silk, lace. It can be decorated with embroidery or other decorative elements. Your appearance in a coat-coat made in the style of a Japanese kimono can become very effective.
Length
As always, choosing the length of a coat, whether it be a dressing gown or a coat of a different style, you should start, first of all, from your height. Tall girls can be allowed to wear a coat of any length, ladies of short stature will look better in a short coat coat about the middle of the thigh or in a coat of medium length.
Who is going to?
The answer to this question will be the phrase “unique case” familiar to this model - a coat of this style will suit absolutely everyone. Slender girls in a coat-coat will look even more fragile, and girls who are dissatisfied with their figure can wear this coat wide open and hide extra pounds in their opinion.
What to wear?
The most suitable clothing option for a coat coat with a wide or narrow belt is pants, narrow or wide, boots or closed shoes with a small heel. If you are going to wear a skirt with a blouse or a dress under it, then stop at these things of a straight or narrower cut. Finish this classic look will give, depending on the length of the coat, high-heeled ankle boots or high boots with a flat sole. You can wear a tunic and tight pants rolled up to the bone or leggings and platform shoes.
You will get a vivid look if you wear a black coat, bathrobe, striped flared trousers and high-heeled ankle boots.
Young slender girls can be invited to wear a short coat-gown of a trapezoidal silhouette with a belt that accentuates the waist. A mini dress or skirt and tall leather or suede boots are perfect for this coat.
A casual summer coat can be worn with white trousers and high sandals from wide platform straps.
An interesting and stylish solution (however, this is not surprising for a coat of this style) will be the choice of an even more incompatible combination of elegance and light hooliganism - a beige coat-coat, white blouse-shirt, and skinny blue ripped boyfriend jeans with white classic boats.
If you don’t have much hooliganism in the latter version, and it’s still not very cold outside, try on a gray cashmere coat-robe with leather sleeves along with a black dress and rough biker boots. Appropriate shocking is always in fashion.
