When severe frosts subside and the first warm spring days come, each girl will probably want to change her winter outerwear to a lighter, more colorful version.
A coat will be a wonderful spring top, which can protect on cool days from the cold, as well as protect from the weather, making the image bright and attractive.
In general, a coat, as an element of the upper wardrobe, began to exist for a long time, being initially exclusively male attire.
From ancient times to this day, the classic model of a strict cut coat is an indispensable part of the military dress uniform, because a solid appearance combined with high functionality is the best option.
But this period of time did not last so long, and soon the coat became available for the women's wardrobe, representing a dense long cloak with a hood and openings for the hands.
A little later, the famous Couturiers contributed to the style and cut coat, so it has the appearance in which it appears before us, and to this day is popular.
Models and styles
World fashion trends do not cease to amaze with new increasingly stylish models almost weekly, thanks to which store windows are filled with stylish coats for every taste and color.
Coats take a different appearance due to the style and cut, which also allows you to choose a model depending on the physique and structure of the figure.
For example, the classic coat model has a straight cut, and can also be equipped with double sides and a folding collar.A classic coat is especially suitable for proponents of conservatism, as well as lovers of a classic office style.
A distinctive feature of quilted coat models is stitched material in the form of small squares, rectangles or rhombs. This model, although it looks sophisticated and elegant, but still has some playful elements.
Coats can also differ in the way of fastening, each of which is characterized by certain external or functional features.
For example, the smell model has a beautiful wide belt made of the same fabric. It can be tied in the shape of a bow, which will give the product a lighter, romantic look.
The zipper is a more functional and comfortable fastener that does not require any additional efforts from the wearer of the coat. Lightning is easy to use and especially good for people with an active lifestyle.
There is an option to fasten the coat with buttons. These can be ordinary round or square elements, matched to match the product. Or decorative buttons decorated with rhinestones and precious stones.
A button closure in the form of wolf fangs, the loops of which are made of cotton fabric as an independent element, is a distinctive feature of the coat model with a hood, which is called duffle coat.
The coat on the synthetic winterizer will be perfectly suited, by the way, in cold weather, since the lining of this material warms very well, and is also able to retain heat under clothing, while absorbing excess moisture.
Light coats can be made of thin cotton material, as a knitted model, as well as in the form of a single-layer product, but from a thicker fabric.
In addition, many coat models are equipped with a hood, which allows you to cover your head from strong winds, rain, or suddenly started snowing.
Styles
Depending on the era and time, a certain style was in the trend, but fashion trends are subject to change, and great demand requires several different styles on store windows so that everyone can choose a suitable coat model.
The classic style, as already mentioned, is characteristic of a business image or a working office outfit, since outerwear is an integral part along with it, as well as its first main characteristic.
In addition, the classic style is used to create uniforms for girls in military or public service.
The coat in retro style has the appearance characteristic of the corresponding period. The flared lower part is made in the form of a fluffy skirt, which makes the product incredibly feminine, and the tight-fitting top gives it restraint.
A coat, made in the style of a derby, which is characterized by straight lines and restrained silhouettes, will be a worthy replacement for the classic style. Riding clothes are also made in this style.
Coat models in a sports style go well with a trouser bottom, and are also popular among fashionistas who prefer the option of outdoor activities.
Coats in the military style and coats in the safari style have slightly similar features, since the cut and style of clothes for these styles are the same, and the color scheme is a distinctive feature. One of these styles is characterized by swamp shades, while the other is sandy.
The oversize style is characterized by the manufacture of products whose size visually looks larger than necessary. A coat in this style allows you to hide the imperfections of the figure under the clothes.
But it is worth being careful and not overdoing it, since such a coat can create an excess volume that visually adds a few pounds.
Sleeve
The sleeves of the coat can be of various cuts, lengths and sizes, but depending on them, the appearance of the product changes dramatically.
The coat can be equipped with a one-piece sleeve, which does not have a single shoulder seam, but is fastened only by a seam in the axillary region. Such a model is not suitable for everyone, since wrinkles may occur in some figures.
In addition to differences in the style and pattern of the sleeve, there is also a characteristic difference in length, which can also be varied.
The raglan sleeve has a characteristic, larger armpit, which makes it looser and visually more voluminous. This model is most popular among stout people, because the raglan sleeve does not squeeze the hand.
A bit like a raglan sleeve, a cut sleeve of a bat, the difference of which lies in an even deeper axillary neckline. Such a cut sleeve is named after this animal, since its style is a campaign on the wings of bats.
There are options for double sleeves sewn together. The upper part is a wider element of one type of fabric, and the lower part is made in the form of a narrowed sleeve from a completely different fabric.
A sleeve length of 3/4 or to the elbow is characteristic of lighter coat models, since it practically does not protect against the cold, but serves as a very stylish decorative element, especially in combination with elegant elongated gloves.
Long sleeves are characteristic of winterized winter models, since during the cold season it is very important to keep the body warm so as not to expose your health to the risk of colds.
Coat length
In addition to differences in the length of the sleeves, there are also differences in the length of the product itself. This or that length may be relevant depending on the situation or lifestyle of a person.
For example, short coats are popular among active girls who prefer a trouser bottom, since this is the option that most harmoniously combines with comfortable shoes with flat soles, some models of which are made in a sporty style.
There are options for the classic length to the middle of the linen, length to the knee, as well as the length of the midi - to the middle of the calf muscle. Each of these models looks very feminine and involves a combination with platform shoes, wedges or high heels.
Some coats reach their ankles in length and are most popular among warm outerwear. This length does not allow the wind to blow under the clothes, so the legs, like all other parts of the body, are always warm.
For full
For some period of time, when fashion houses were obsessed with the imposed standards of a female figure, the choice of coats and other clothes for overweight people was somewhat difficult, so I had to be content with what I had.
For women with a voluminous lower part, it is best to choose a model of a trapezoidal coat coat, the lower part of which expands and visually conceals the volumes. Such a model will not fit the lower body and unnecessarily focus on the shortcomings.
For girls with shortcomings in the form of a full tummy and puffy arms, a straight cut model with a raglan sleeve or a bat, as well as an oversize coat, is suitable. These coat models have a loose fit that will not squeeze the body and create an uncomfortable feeling.
For girls with a lush top, it is best to choose a retro-style coat with a lush bottom, in order to visually balance the figure, focusing on the waist with a fitted style.
Youth
Modern youth, as in the old days, tries to distinguish themselves by their appearance, often choosing the most fashionable coat models, which, unfortunately, are not always suitable for some situational conditions.
In order to always remain relevant and be in a trend, it is necessary to observe several elementary tips for choosing popular youth coats.
First of all, in the spring period, reviving retro-style coats that look like a romantic spring period become especially popular.
Coats in the classical style are absolutely always popular, because the classics are appropriate always and everywhere. With the right combination of other elements of clothing with a coat of classic cut, you can create a business image, as well as a weekend image.
Lately coat coats and duffle coat models have gained popularity, which to some extent have similar external features. These models are comfortable and convenient, as they are able to insulate the lining and free straight fit.
Color and print
At different times, a variety of shades were preferred, preferred for a particular season.
Black color has always been popular because it falls into the category of classic shades that are appropriate for almost any situation, as well as suitable for combination with any other colors.
Another color from the discharge of such shades is white, which looks no less stylish, but can be quite impractical. A white coat is more susceptible to dirt, so the product will be more susceptible to washing and wear resistance will decrease significantly.
This spring, the trend will be shades of burgundy, blue, yellow and brown. Products in these colors will be attractive and popular, as well as pleasing to the eye and suitable for spring.
Among prints, animalistic images resembling the skin of animals such as a leopard, tiger, cheetah or zebra are popular.
Floral drawings with the image of large buds or small inflorescences also look good.
the cloth
Fabric representations of products to a greater extent determine its appearance and stylistic affiliation. A certain fabric can give the product a sporty appearance, classic, sophisticated, romantic or even truly luxurious.
A coat made of genuine leather is the most durable due to the strength of this material. Since the skin does not get wet and does not let air through, the body will always be protected from strong wind and rain.
In addition, the product does not need dry cleaning, in case of contamination, it is only necessary to wipe it with a damp cloth.
Winter models of coats, referred to as down jackets, are made from Bologna and raincoat material stuffed with downy filler. The material of such a coat is impregnated with a specialized composition that does not allow moisture to pass, which makes the product more functional.
The rag coat has a slightly coarse texture, and also is a product of sufficient dense material. Without a lining, the product will be lightweight and not suitable for severe colds, but the insulated version is quite suitable for a sudden cooling snap.
Woolen coats made thanks to wet felting are very dense and warm, which leads to their wear resistance. Such coats were often used as a winter uniform for military personnel.
Decor
Coat buttons are often used as decorative elements on coats, decorated with large bright stones, which introduces an element of luxury into the image.
All kinds of chains, as well as beads or rhinestones, from which you can create some kind of ornament or simply attach in a chaotic manner, are suitable as a decorative element.
Fabric inserts made of lace or leather look no less stylish. Most often, the shoulder and elbow areas, as well as pockets, are decorated in this style.
Of course, the most common decorative element is beautiful belts and belts with unusual buckles that give the product a more elegant look.
Manufacturers
Many manufacturers are engaged in the creation of coats, but not every factory is able to offer a truly high-quality product with neatly made seams, carefully sewn buttons and a well-stitched lining.
When considering products on the basis of quality, Chinese manufacturers should be avoided, because the product is not always well and neatly stitched, as well as made of completely natural material. Often cheaper synthetic fakes are used, which is due to the tempting pricing policy.
The good quality of their goods is distinguished by Italian, Finnish and German manufacturers, whose factories carefully monitor the quality of the material, as well as the quality of the seams and small parts of the finished product.
Pleasantly surprised by the domestic manufacturer. The Russian fur factory “Kalyaev” is characterized by many positive reviews, since a very restrained pricing policy is in perfect harmony with the high quality of products, which allows any Russian lady to choose an excellent coat.
Fashion trends
The most popular this spring will be used by slightly sloppy oversize models, since for many years spacious clothes have occupied the top lines of popularity.
Coats of soft shades of bright colors, such as light lemon, light lilac, light menthol, light raspberry, will be stylish. Such colors will give the product a light, fresh spring look.
In addition, in the spring, bright elements will be especially popular in the form of various large accessories, such as scarves, hats, bags and gloves.
What to wear?
Creating a full-fledged outfit, the first thing to consider is the nature of the event to be visited.
Do not wear a long coat with wide or flared trousers, it is better to use a skinny model or leggings. Sneakers are also not applicable, but plain slip-on sneakers are quite suitable.
Longer coat models can be easily combined with skirts, shorts, and trousers, while adding an element of sexuality and audacity in the form of high-heeled shoes. But do not overdo it, the shoes should be elegant, otherwise the outfit can turn out to be vulgar.
Spectacular images
A very stylish and effective combination is obtained if you combine a black coat of classic length, made in the style of oversize and a bright orange checked scarf, which will become the highlight of the image. With this product, you can easily combine jeans - boyfriends and white high sneakers, which will give the image a casual style. And if the coat has a wide sleeve to the elbow or 3/4, you can wear a warm cashmere sweater with a long sleeve matching the scarf in color.
A stylish, juicy look will create a very successful combination of flared black trousers and a beige coat on one button made of thin suede. Under a coat, you should wear a white knitted sweater, which will make this image relevant for the work environment. And accessories in the form of a scarf and bag of bright color of ripe raspberry will give juiciness and brightness to the image.
