The most suitable clothing option for the demi-season is a short women's coat. In the transition season, the weather is very unstable, and often do not know what to wear. The short coat will perfectly cope with such a task. In cold weather, such a wardrobe item will reliably protect against light wind and dampness. And on a sunny day, a short coat will not let you overheat.
Also, this type of outerwear will allow you to demonstrate fashionable trousers or a skirt in all its glory.
Models
Whatever the diversity of women's short coats, they all come down to the 6 most common styles. When choosing, it is worthwhile to focus on your figure and wardrobe.
Flat style. He is the most common. It can be single-breasted or double-breasted. The kit may include a belt. An interesting model is a coat with epaulets and a stand-up collar. The product of this style may resemble a pea jacket.
Trapeze style model. This silhouette is often called A-shaped. It is indispensable for girls whose shoulders are much wider than hips. A trapeze coat will add balance to your figure.
Mixed models look interesting: a voluminous coat with narrowed sleeves.
Coat robe. This style has become another fashion trend in 2016. This model looks truly luxurious. This is proved by the designers of the successful Italian company Max Mara, including a coat coat in every collection.
Poncho. This coat model is a real must have for girls whose figure does not look perfect. Volumetric cut will hide many of the flaws of the build. Also, under a poncho-shaped coat, you can safely wear a sweater of any density. Not every coat boasts such a merit.
Such a short coat model with narrow trousers and boots without a heel looks spectacular.
Slim-fit style. This model is created to emphasize your advantages. She will highlight your waist. The coat with a fitted silhouette goes well with all the skirts, which adds more femininity to the look.
Short coat with a hood. This model is ideal for active girls. You can not worry about your hairstyle during the rain thanks to the reliable protection of the hood. At the same time, it will perfectly complement your image and will not spoil the style, as an unsuitable hat can do this.
Material
A lot depends on the choice of coat material. How long will you wear it, and will you be comfortable? Therefore, it is worth taking the choice of material seriously. For demi-season short coats, there are not many options. This is due to the fact that great demands are placed on the material - it must be a sock and keep warm inside.
However, it should not be too warm. And also, in no case is any deformation of the material allowed, including the appearance of spools.
The highest quality material for a demi-season coat is cashmere. Many people think that most of the products are sewn from it, but this is not so. This material is quite rare and valuable. After all, it is made not of goat fur, but of undercoat.
Also, such material can be attributed to one of the most environmentally friendly and even, in a sense, “moral”. Because the animals are not harmed to get it and their hair is not even cut, but combed out. Only one small scarf can be obtained from one animal. For a coat it is required to comb out at least about a dozen goats. This explains the high price of the product.
Also, you can not call a cashmere coat an option for every day. I think every fashionista will be sorry to wear such a delicate, light and expensive product in the rain.
The most popular material for a coat is wool. Names and varieties of her mass. Most often they use purely sheared or 100% wool, as their price is not the most expensive.
The best option for making a coat would be woolen fabric. It includes drape, cloth, coat coat. This option will already be more expensive than wool products. Often you can find a coat of suede or leather. They are durable and look very stylish. But leather has more advantages than suede. The latter is difficult to clean and it is better not to wet it, which is very difficult to do during the transition rainy season.
An affordable, massive option is tweed. This fabric has a woolen thread, so you will definitely not freeze in a tweed coat. A good option for a demi-season short coat is a cloak. It reliably protects from rain and damp. But at the same time, in such a raincoat you will not be stuffy in sunny weather.
Fashion trends
The main trend in 2016 can rightfully be called a cell. Designers introduce variety into such a model with the help of bright colors and different sizes of the pattern. You can also find a combination of cells and other prints.
Another trend of this season is men's style. A coat of even silhouette of muted tones perfectly emphasizes your femininity. Feel free to combine a strict men's coat with skirts and dresses.
Also an oversize coat can be called a hit of this season. Models in the style of minimalism look especially stylish. This short coat will be the most convenient option in the demi-season. The trend in the military style has also affected the fashion for the coat. Double-breasted models with large buttons in dark blue or khaki are the most popular.
How to choose?
First of all, pay attention to the quality of the material. It should be durable, lightweight, but at the same time could reliably protect from strong winds and dampness. There are enough materials on the goods market, the main thing is to find one that you like and will not hit the budget very much.
When choosing a style and color, you should focus not only on the appearance of the coat, but also try to compare what you will wear it with.Do you have the right things in your wardrobe? And the rest - it all depends on the fitting. If the short coat will suit you, then this is already 80 percent success.
What to wear?
It is impossible to say unequivocally what will be combined with a short coat and what will not. Everything will depend on the style and color of the product you choose. But there are certain rules for some models.
Smooth model of a short coat is ideally combined with trousers or a skirt in a classic style. This option is suitable for people who want to look stylish, but do not like experiments.
Of course, the most fashionable image of this season will be a combination of a coat-coat and sneakers. All women of fashion have already acquired such a kit. But for those who still do not like the combination of classics and sporty style, you can safely wear a coat-dressing gown with shoes with heels or with boots on a flat sole.
The fitted short coat looks great with dresses and all kinds of skirts. A poncho-style coat, on the contrary, is best worn with tight trousers.
The images
Such a bow is now very popular. A voluminous gray pea coat is perfectly complemented by black leather leggings. The conciseness and simplicity of the image is diluted by the large size of outerwear. Shoes with high heels and flat soles are perfect for this style.
Very unusual and interesting coat in the style of a jacket. Jeans and a wisp on the head dilute the severity of the image, while a white shirt, buttoned on all the buttons, echoes it.
A great example of how military style can be feminine. Add to the voluminous coat the color of military boots in tone under the snake skin - and you will never look like a man.
