Light coat

Off-season, the sun reluctantly gives us warmth, the wind shows its very cool attitude, and then a light coat comes to the rescue as an alternative to standard cardigans, warm jackets and jackets.

A feature of a light coat is ... its lightness, and yet emphasized femininity, even if the coat has a shapeless oversize cut or sporty style. The image created with the help of this outerwear is always elegant, flying.

• Tulip coat - a light coat that imitates a dress with a smell, usually with rounded shelves and accentuated waist. Single or double-breasted, with various types of collars, with decorative elements in the form of a peplum or fur trim, these coats are the embodiment of femininity.

• Coat jacket - broad shoulders, a long collar line, loose fit, as if a thing from someone else's shoulder. An interesting solution for girls who love not the masculine style itself, but themselves in men's things.

• A kimono coat is for those who like oriental cut lines. The sleeve is short, long, exaggeratedly loose. Such a coat does not always have a fastener; often it imitates a dressing gown with a smell and a wide belt.

• Sleeveless coat - it sounds strange, it looks unusual, but this particular coat model is rapidly becoming fashionable (including in the rather unfriendly climatic conditions of the off-season of our country) and is popular among fashion house designers and women outside the catwalk.

• Cape Coat. Two other current news of the season, which are often confused with each other - a coat-poncho and coat-cape. A poncho is a square, round, or rectangular wrap with a hole for the head. Cape differs from it in that it takes into account the lines of the figure, in particular, the shoulders, and usually has slots for the hands.Poncho is an informal and unusual clothes, cape allows you to create a fairly elegant and even sophisticated style.

• A coat with a fur collar is for those who cannot imagine their life without luxury. And let it be almost cold outside - a detachable collar made of natural or artificial fur will comfortably lie on your shoulders and give you a feeling of comfort and chic.

• An oversized coat - a wide cut, a lowered shoulder line, voluminous sleeves, emphasize the fragility of a thin figure and visually make a lady slimmer, unhappy, in her opinion, with kilograms.

• A summer coat with or without lining is an indispensable option for an evening out in the cool summer. Elegant lace, made of airy fabrics, or jacquard, sewn in shape or tight-fitting with a full skirt, they make a spectacular impression and leave a pleasant “aftertaste”.

• An ultra-lightweight coat with down filling - for those cases when we so want warmth and rather cold evenings do not want to indulge our desires. A lightweight quilted overcoat will easily warm you, and your graceful silhouette will not suffer at all.

• Coat made of waterproof fabric. The coat is good for everyone, except for one thing - if you fall into it in the rain, you risk not only getting wet, which is also unpleasant, but also losing your favorite item in your wardrobe, because not all fabrics easily tolerate abundant moisture. A coat of waterproof fabric is designed to solve this problem, in it you can look great and will be reliably protected from insidious weather.

• A sports-type coat is for those who prefer a sporty style or simply lead an active lifestyle and appreciate the opportunity to look smart and stylish, but at the same time feel absolutely comfortable.

Every woman who chooses a light coat for herself, summer or designed for the off-season, can be sure that the choice of length will be unlimited. As for the relevance of this particular season, there is a fairly confident tendency to prioritize the length of the midi - approximately to the middle of the lower leg.

The materials used to create a light coat are not limited to seasonal conditions and can be radically different in composition, color, density. Successfully used lightweight drape and delicate lace, waterproof fabric and suede, quilted fabric with light insulation and thin patent leather, dense elegant jacquard and weightless chiffon on the lining.

Determining the color of the coat to be chosen, rely on your own color type of appearance and taste.

In light coats are joyful spring (blue, light green, coral), cozy autumn (ocher, green, orange, burgundy, chocolate) scales, summer evening coats are metallic, aqua, classic white, black or beige, in a coat with interesting prints or intricate decor you will always be interesting to yourself and others.

A classic straight fit coat will require you to wear the same strict trousers or blouse skirts that fit oxfords, boots and steady-heeled shoes.

If you decide to take a chance and put on a coat-jacket, then the mini-dress and chrome boots-boots will become the logical conclusion of the image: to shock - to shock with style.

Straight jeans and loafers, a straight tweed short dress, tight tights and ankle boots, tight jeans, a sweater and platform shoes, sneakers and loose pants, an airy lace dress, the length of which, as usual, can be significantly longer than the length of the coat and shoes - boats - with a coat of this style everything will be appropriate, and, as they say, in the subject.

A raglan coat with a shortened sleeve without a collar can be worn on a sweater with a long sleeve or long gloves can be selected for it. The length of the coat to the middle of the thigh will allow you to wear a medium-length skirt and ankle boots or closed shoes. A hat with a wide brim is perfect for this.

The super-fashionable style of this season - a sleeveless coat - can be of a lightweight type. If you wear it, for example, with narrow leather trousers, a turtleneck and shoes with a strap, you can be sure that you will attract attention.

With a poncho, one- or two-layer, you can allow yourself to be mischievous and put on a lace mini dress that will look out from under the poncho, loose tights or high knee-highs with a pattern and platform shoes. Skinny dark jeans with a bone length, a white shirtless blouse with a tie and loafers will look great with a cape.

Summer light coats involve wearing them with elegant dresses of various styles or elegant trouser suits. Studs to help you!
