Among the youth this season, the cage, large and small, simple and complex, monochromatic and multicolor, gained particular popularity. For romantically-minded young ladies, a delicate pastel of a short coat in an empire style is perfect. For girls who prefer the military style, fashion designers have offered trendy duffle coats and pea jackets, despite the ostentatious brutality, and cut, not focusing on the figure, with bright shiny buttons, demonstrate a fragile feminine severity.

If you pick up a fur coat or sheepskin coat for a lady of a wide soul and size range it is not always easy, then when choosing a short coat she should not have such problems. Now, finally, many firms have realized the fact that the beautiful representatives of the Russian population do not always fall within the range of sizes 40 to 44, and pretty decently expanded the range in which new models of short coats are sewn. Now ladies, even with infrequently encountered 70 sizes, can not just buy the only product that fits the size, but choose the model that suits them.

Lush ladies, of course, should not choose too large a print or too short pea coat so as not to aggravate the already considerable dimensions, however, a trapezoidal pea coat two palms long above the knee can very beautify its owner without restricting her movements. Large ladies who are not afraid of experiments should try on a half-coat poncho or a still unusual, but very fashionable half-cap style. There is no need to be afraid of a short oversized coat, because, despite its voluminousness, he may well hide even larger volumes of his mistress - she may not even become a graceful doe, but she will be a stylish and interesting lady.

Looks great on a large woman a short coat-jacket complete with trousers, loose or classic straight. If a lady, in addition to curvaceous, has a pronounced waist, then a peasant coat with a wide belt in combination with a pencil skirt and ankle boots will become a good stylistic solution for her.

You can repeat as much as you like that 55 is the retirement age, however, with the help of a stylish wardrobe, including fashionable short coats, and spring in the shower, a woman over 50 can look no worse, and sometimes better, for ladies of a younger age.

What is good for an age of 50 - you can allow yourself to be elegant, and this will not add age, as is sometimes the case in youth, but reduce it.

If the figure allows, a pea-gown over a wide belt. An active lady at the age will look great in a short coat parka.
