How many times when leaving home did you regret that your cloak does not have a hood?

Women's raincoat with a hood is:

  • beautiful and stylish (subject to the correct cut of the hood itself);
  • functionally and conveniently (if your hands are busy, or there is no umbrella with you, or suddenly it becomes too cool and uncomfortable);
  • necessary (if the weather does not allow you to demonstrate your beautiful hairstyle, which another headdress can irreparably ruin);
  • relevant and fashionable (raincoats with hoods are always in fashion);
  • intriguing (you read novels about a mysterious stranger, whose faces can not be seen under the hood?).

Models

Trench or trench coat

The most stylish and respectable waterproof raincoat. It was created at the beginning of the 20th century and literally means "trench coat".

Initially, this most recognizable characteristic style of a cloak, double-breasted, on a yoke, with a turn-down collar, shoulder straps, with a slit in the back - did not include a hood, but it was not for nothing that Evelina Khromchenko, a recognized fashion expert, said: “The trench will endure everything! Even sneakers. "

And indeed, a trench coat, with or without a hood, is always in fashion, and always out of fashion. The hood revives him and gives him a somewhat less austere and prim look.

Raincoat

A raincoat made of special synthetic material. Of the pluses - most often cheaper cost than fabric models. It is very convenient to take such a raincoat with you on a trip instead of a heavy umbrella, which, moreover, will occupy your hands and not protect your legs.

Of the minuses - as a rule, they do not let air through. True, some models of raincoats have rain holes for ventilation. Such a model can hardly be called stylish, but modern designers are trying to give it elegance.

Trench coat

The most common raincoat pattern, made from a dense and durable material such as gabardine.There is or was in the wardrobe of almost any woman.

Duster Cloak

Initially, the duster coat was a light long-field summer raincoat. Now it’s just a light summer coat. It looks very beautiful over a summer dress in slightly rainy and windy weather. At the same time, the hood carries not only a utilitarian function, but also creates a playful, flirty image.

Raincoat

A hybrid of parkas, that is, a warm jacket with a hood, and anorak - a light windproof jacket worn over the head. Not as warm as a parka, but with buttons or with a zipper, which is more convenient than anorak.

Sports hooded raincoat

For practical and energetic people.

Insulated cloak

It is especially good at the beginning and end of winter, when it is too hot in a fur coat or coat. The hood of this model, with or without fur trim, is especially relevant, as is a waterproof coating.

Length

Depending on the situation, the length of the cloak may be different:

  • Do you value comfort and freedom of movement? For active people - short raincoats from a knee and above. The hood will allow you to free your hands and protect you from the weather.
  • Want to showcase beautiful legs and look elegant at the same time? Your length is up to the knee. The emphasis on the beautiful hood emphasizes the elegance and lightness of the lines.
  • Need reliable wind and rain protection? In a correctly selected long coat with a hood, you will feel comfortable and confident. In addition, such a style will help to stretch the silhouette and make you slimmer. By the way, this is also a classic cloak, which was supposed to be ankle length.

Color

Modern designers use a wide color palette of fabrics. You can choose a raincoat model of any color or with any print that suits your style:

  • black and white - a win-win timeless classic;
  • calm pastel colors - blue, white, beige - elegant and noble;
  • bright colors - red, yellow, green - will emphasize your individuality and originality;
  • prints imitating reptile skin, or leopard prints for courageous and confident ladies who love effects.

Material

Based on the functionality of the cloak, its material should be dense and waterproof. The same trench coats were sewn from woolen or cotton fabric with waterproof impregnation, and raincoats were made from synthetic fabrics, which, of course, was extremely practical, but not too elegant.

Modern women, when choosing a raincoat, are guided not only and not so much by the practicality of the model as by its beauty and style, therefore velveteen, cashmere, wool, gabardine, and jeans are valued. For summer models, linen and cotton fabrics are still relevant.

Leather raincoats never go out of fashion, however, you should be careful when choosing these models, since being out of fashion does not mean looking like an anachronism. And a heavy leather hood will not always adorn the owner of such a cloak.

For special occasions, raincoats are sewn from luxurious fabrics: velvet, satin, silk. Raincoats are decorated with embroidery, beads and rhinestones, which looks mysterious and attractive if a sense of proportion is respected. A hood of such a model, gracefully thrown over the head, will add intrigue to its mistress. Feel yourself a participant in the Venetian carnival!

What to wear

When deciding what to wear with a raincoat, you need to start, first of all, from its style, fabric and length.

  • A short trench coat of almost any color and almost any fabric will suit jeans. The choice of shoes is also yours, it can be both on the heel, preferably straight square, or without. One remark - jeans should be straight or narrowed.
  • For dresses, choose a cloak that covers its hem. The belt of such a cloak, straight or flared, accentuates your waist. From shoes, both shoes and boots will be appropriate. If you wear heels, then in this case it will only improve your look.
  • A pencil skirt, blouse or turtleneck sweater, a light neck scarf and a raincoat - what can be more stylish and versatile at the same time? Add shoes or high heel boots - and you're ready to go.
  • Evening Dress? Or maybe even a wedding? Well, of course, a velvet or lace cloak. Stilettos, a drop of perfume. Eternal femininity, eternal mystery.
