A striking example of classic outerwear is a gray coat, which at all times is popular and fits perfectly with every female type. Of course, if you know how to choose, what to wear and follow fashion trends.
Models and styles
As soon as the gray coat is not changed, designers, striving to create unique clothes with classic elements! Thanks to this zeal, we can choose a gray coat from a variety of options:
- sports models that must be worn exclusively with sports shoes;
- high waisted demonstrating the beauty of the chest;
- the military, removing all the rules and restrictions;
- long to the floor, similar to dresses;
- flare from the chest;
- with sleeves "three quarters" or "bat";
- with smell.
Separately, I want to note short patterns - they look great on almost any figure and are relaxed about combining with other elements.
Coat with a stand-up collar It will look even better if a discreet accessory is successfully chosen for it - even a light scarf will make a gray coat interesting and expressive.
Length
Under long gray coat it is not necessary to wear boots; it is better to choose boots, shoes or ankle boots. As for clothes, it is better to wear tight-fitting clothes under such a coat: skinny jeans, leggings, straight dresses, pencil skirts. Although with classic trousers you can achieve a harmonious combination.
Shades
We are accustomed to three variations of gray: classic gray, light and dark. But this is far from all the tones based on gray. Even in the famous film, 50 shades of gray are mentioned.
We will not consider such an amount, but we will mention the most interesting of them:
- gray with a silver tint;
- almost white, slightly periwinkle;
- pearl color;
- pigeon gray;
- dark mouse, looking very noble;
- dark anthracite, which is a little more and will become blue Marengo;
- unusual quartz;
- the color of wet asphalt, which has become a classic.
Buying a gray coat, choose a variety of shades, because the standard gray color is boring and not relevant this season.
The gray color itself is beautiful, deep and alluring, but designers are trying in every way to dilute it, to make it more interesting. Therefore, more and more often you can see in collections and in stores a gray coat with various prints. It can be intricate and act as the main element, or it can also be simple and unobtrusive, serve as a pleasant addition to the main color. A bit of retro style hasn't hurt a single thing.
Designers more often than usual use a cage of various sizes, speck and Christmas tree.
Youth
For full
Who said gray women should not be worn by overweight women? This is a lot of stupidity. Not only possible, but also necessary. Only you need to choose dark shades of gray, which will add harmony and sophistication. It is worth choosing free models to which you can add a wide belt.
A categorical "no" full girls should say thin belts and compact handbags, which will look, at least, strange.
Fashion trends
A coat with short sleeves, which can be tight-fitting or loose, must be worn with long gloves - this image will look great and give off a casual luxury.
Wide sleeves of the type of a well-known bat persistently seep into all areas of fashion, and now you can see them in a gray coat. Models in the best traditions of the classics began to decorate with the most unusual details taken from other styles.
A short pile on fur collars can be made in the same tone as a coat or be a contrasting element.And the fur, consisting of several colors that beautifully shimmer, looks especially chic on a gray fabric.
Coats with rounded shoulders are new this season, and trench coats, coats in the form of cloaks, robes and a poncho got a second life.
the cloth
For the production of gray coats, a wide range of materials can be used, among which drap, noble leather, delicate cashmere, rich fur, playful velor and flannel are most often chosen.
When the goal is to create a feminine and romantic coat, then a coupon or jacquard fabric is used.
If you create a winter coat in gray, then often drape, leather or material created on the basis of wool is chosen. The synthetic winterizer is actively used, which is indispensable when creating winter outerwear. As before, the combination of leather and fur trim remains on top.
How to choose?
As we said earlier, gray color has a lot of shades that you need to be able to choose. It is necessary to be based on the type and characteristics of each girl individually.
The presence of dark hair and pale skin is obligated to choose a coat with a rich, deep color. If a light coat was chosen, then bright and expressive accessories must be present in the image.
The prevalence of light shades in the female image requires a choice of coats in light pastel gray tones.
Red or chestnut-colored hair and blush on the cheeks testify to the autumn type of its owner, to which gray color in its pure form is very suitable.
We figured out the color, it's time to take on the style, which is selected depending on the type of figure:
A triangular figure (thin waist, narrow shoulders and wide hips) will look good in a coat with wide collars. This element is able to balance the image.
The sand figure is an occasion for pride, since it is considered ideal. With such a figure, you can choose any coat, in any case it will look great.
The apple shape (narrow top and bottom, but a voluminous stomach) leaves little choice for a coat. A girl with such a figure will need to choose from O-shaped models and military style. A figure that resembles a pear in shape requires emphasis on the waist and the presence of expressive, voluminous collars in the coat.
A square figure is devoid of the correct proportions and indicates the presence of excess weight. In this case, the coat should reach the knee, have a fitted top and a wide bottom.
What to wear?
Color. A coat without accessories simply cannot exist; it will be a crime against fashion. Mistakes in the selection of additional elements make everything from young girls to wise fashionable ladies.
Although the fashion world is constantly changing, the main rules remain the same, except with the exception of the three-color rule. If the image is romantic or business-like, then this rule must be strictly observed, but when casual style is considered, then you can forget about the three colors and experiment with your own pleasure.
Accessories. The list of required accessories includes the following items:
Scarf. It can be chosen in almost any color, with various ornaments, patterns and prints. Even a gray scarf can be matched to a gray coat, but you must achieve maximum contrast. The scarf should be appropriate for the season and weather conditions.
Of particular popularity is noted in the category of “a la rus” scarves, Arab shawls, products with animalistic animal prints.
A long coat will not look good with a wide-brimmed hat, but with a beret it looks very good.
Belt or belt can be leather - this is a win-win option that is always present in the wardrobe of every fashionista. If you don’t have it yet, then urgently need to buy and put on your gray coat. To combine bright shoes and a gray coat in a single tandem will help the same bright belt.
A wide belt will highlight the waist, protect from the wind and transform any coat.
Shoes according to modern fashionable requirements should not repeat the color of the bag, it is more important that the shoes match the color of the coat.
If we talk about colors, then you can choose brown, red and black shoes. There may be controversy about brown, but the secret to creating a successful image is to choose the right shade for the shoe.
Popular and suitable for a gray coat are a sandy shade, a combination of red and brown, camel color. Having plunged headlong into the problem of choosing shoes, do not forget about tights. If your legs cannot be called a standard of beauty, then tights are selected strictly to match the shoes.
Stars in a gray coat
A gray coat is a frequent choice for many stellar women:
Jennifer Lopez was spotted in a gray coat and gray boots.
Emma Watson creates on the basis of a gray coat amazing and absolutely unique images that you can take on arms.
Sarah Jessica Parker is probably an outcast fan of a gray coat, as there are several such cute little things in her wardrobe.
Stylish and fashionable looks
What images did they choose for themselves and did they correctly select additional elements for outerwear?
Are you still afraid to combine a gray coat with white? Then pay your attention to the next lady, who may be going on a date, to a restaurant or theater, or maybe she just decided to conquer this world today. And she has every chance of it, because her image is perfectly matched. A game of shades, among which there is the color of milk chocolate, silver and a shade of ivory, would not be so captivating without a gray coat, which serves as an excellent addition, and not the main element.
