In earlier historical periods, the coat, in the form in which it appears before us at the present time, was part of the men's wardrobe, representing a product of a straight cut with a double-breasted fold-down collar and buttons.
The female model was made in the form of an ordinary long cape with a hood, which perfectly protected from the cold, but absolutely did not give room for movement and free actions.
But, as you know, fashionable couturiers never stop at any one model, but try to improve their collections more and more.
This trend did not pass by the coat, which is why this breadth of the product line is due to this. Many models allow girls to choose the right coat.
Hide the flaws of the figure and emphasize the merits, focus on stylistic features, highlight the belonging to any informal group - there is a coat for any occasion.
Some models look more rude and strict, while others, on the contrary, are very feminine and tender.
One of these models is a coat-dress, emphasizing the feminine beginning of its owner.
Features
Features of the coat-dress model become apparent at first glance at the product - a flared bottom and a tight-fitting top make the coat visually similar to the dress.
Such models are referred to the retro style, since a few decades ago there were such styles in fashion that incredibly successfully emphasize the waist line and perfectly hide flaws in the lower part of the figure.
You need to look at things realistically and understand that for girls with a too voluminous upper part, namely overly full arms and belly, it is better to avoid this coat model, since it will only make an unnecessary emphasis on shortcomings.
But for girls with voluminous hips and "surpluses" on the lower part of the tummy, this coat will be a great option.
Models
Coat dress, it would seem, in itself is one of the models of this product and is presented in some one style.
But this is a mistake, since the coat of this model also has several differences in style and cut.
The most common option for a coat dress is a model with a flared fluffy skirt, which most closely resembles the appearance of a feminine dress in retro style.
A trapezoidal cut coat is also a kind of dress coat, especially if this model is combined with an elegant belt tied at the waist.
A coat cut as a kimono without a collar is also one of the models of the coat-dress. This product is sewn not only without a collar, it also has no fastener and is worn by smell.
Coat-dress with a pleated skirt looks like a product in the style of a school uniform, emphasizing the femininity and sophistication of the taste of its owner.
The coat can also be distinguished by a collar, which can be a double-breasted folding collar, a stand-up collar or even be completely absent, representing a model with a rounded neckline.
Another distinctive feature of various models is the length of the product, as if mini - to the middle of the thigh, standard length to the knee, midi - reaching the middle of the calf or even maxi.
the cloth
A diverse coat fabric, which has a characteristic appearance and structure, gives the product a specific appearance, as well as corresponding properties.
Cashmere coat It has a very soft structure due to the tenderness of the cashmere fiber. This product looks very elegant and very pleasant to the touch. A sintepon lining makes the coat suitable even for cold weather.
Draped dress coat most common option. The material has a coarser structure, cashmere weeks, but has less functional qualities. Since the fibers are not woven so tightly and in a cold wind it will not be relevant.
Gabardine Coat Dress has a characteristic hazel grouse on the front side, which is obtained as a result of a special fiber plexus. The product is also very warm, but still unsuitable for severe frosts.
Coat dress made of thick cotton fabric is an autumn - spring model designed for light coolness. Such a coat is most often represented by the famous model, called a trench coat.
Raincoat coat is a lightweight cloak. Down jackets are made from the same material, but among the model range of these products there are practically no down jackets in the form of dresses.
Color
Coat colors can surprise, attracting a lot of enthusiastic looks. Some shades are popular beyond time and circumstances.
One of them is the black color, which, in combination with this coat model, best emphasizes the dignity of the figure, visually hiding the extra pounds.
Dark green, gray, beige and brown coats are also quite popular. Calm restrained shades are characteristic for girls with a calm character, as well as for ladies in age.
For lighter models, coat-dresses are characterized by such shades as lemon, light lemon, light lilac, light or ordinary shade of menthol color.
The color of Marsala, bright red and non-standard mustard become the choice of bright, creative girls who like to show their inner “I” through their wardrobe.
As for the prints, it is impossible not to mention the stylish cage and elegant strip, which often give the product a more informal, and in some cases overly business, appearance.
No less stylish, but lighter and more playful are floral prints, images of various ornaments, as well as animalistic colors.
Brands
Many brands are developing models of coats, and dress coats are clearly the “trump card” of any collection.
Brands such as Versace, Chanel, Gucci are the most famous manufacturers of the most stylish coat dresses. Some of them are characterized by harsher forms, and some are characterized by an unprecedented femininity.
Among domestic manufacturers, one can distinguish the Kalyaev fur factory, whose products are oriented towards typical domestic representatives.
And coat-dresses from Ekaterina Smolina make a splash at all in a mine of domestic fashion, striking potential customers with high quality material and stylish models.
What to wear?
A coat with a wide bottom looks best with skirts whose length does not exceed the length of the product itself. Thanks to this, the coat itself, in combination with dense insulated tights, looks like a warm winter dress.
A narrower hem, as well as a trapezoidal style, is best combined with tight-fitting trousers and high-heeled shoes. So the image is interesting and very fashionable.
Coat dresses, in principle, are best combined with high-heeled shoes or with high boots with flat soles. Other shoe options may not seem appropriate, and sports-style shoes can make the look untidy and tasteless.
This coat model can be easily supplemented with various feminine accessories, for example, light elegant stoles and knitted scarves. The fur boa will become a stylish accessory, and handbags of different models will help complete the look.
