Jackets - fashion trends 2020

The jacket, which is now a completely familiar element of the women's wardrobe, has become so relatively recently - only at the beginning of the last century. Up to this point, a shortened wool jacket with a narrow sleeve was the prerogative of men, and the fair sex was supposed to wear a variety of raincoats and capes as light outerwear.

Initially, only classic men's models of jackets were available to girls, but with the development of fashion, elegant jackets intended exclusively for a female figure began to appear. This clothing is called a jacket. One of the most famous models of jackets was a straight short crew-neck jacket, invented by Coco Chanel.

Today we will tell you about the most popular trends in the fashion world regarding jackets. You will learn a lot of interesting things about the varieties of jackets, as well as how and with what it is recommended to wear this piece of clothing.

The concepts of "jacket" and "jacket" are often confused, calling one another. At first glance, it seems that these garments are absolutely identical, but in fact, the difference, although not critical, exists between them. Here are a few key differences:

• The word “jacket” applies only to women's clothing, and “jacket” can be called both male and female thing.
• A jacket is a type of jacket. A jacket is a broader concept than a jacket.
• The jacket belongs to the business style of clothing, and the jacket can be part of everyday wardrobe.
• Jacket and jacket vary in cut and silhouette. The jacket is long enough, straight or slightly fitted. It always has a full sleeve and a lapel collar. A jacket is a shortened version of a jacket.It can be wide, fitted or tight. The length of the sleeve at the jacket can vary, as well as the presence or absence of a collar, pockets, fasteners and other details.

If you are puzzled by the purchase of a jacket, then you must have come across a huge variety of choices. Among so many options, it’s easy to get confused, so we suggest you get acquainted with the most popular and interesting models of jackets.

Bolero - This is a shortened blouse or jacket. It can have a short or long sleeve, fastens with one or two buttons or no fasteners at all. Bolero covers only the upper back and chest, so it performs a function almost exclusively decorative.

Collarless jacket Is an invention of women's fashion. Such models look very elegant and original. Often jackets without a collar are worn as cardigans, that is, without buttoning. The shape of the cutout can be any: round, triangular or even square. The most popular model of a women's jacket without a collar is the Chanel jacket.

Short sleeve jacket - Another modification of the jacket, invented for girls. Such jackets emphasize graceful wrists, moreover, they are very comfortable in the warm season. They go well with t-shirts, tops and other lightweight sleeveless clothes. Jackets with ½ or рукав sleeves look great with long gloves.

One-piece sleeve jacket It looks very unusual. Similar models are also called “bat”, as the sleeves merging with the body of the jacket create a silhouette resembling wide wings. Jackets with a one-piece sleeve are often chosen by girls with curvaceous shapes, because such a solution allows you to hide the fullness in the shoulders and arms.

Jacket with embroidery, like any other thing with a beautiful decor, it is able to distinguish you from the crowd. Embroidery on the product can be very modest and inconspicuous, and can cover its entire surface. The most interesting are models embroidered with exotic ethnic ornaments or bright floral patterns.

Peplum jacket. A peplum is an element of clothing that can make a figure more feminine and give it a seductive shape. Such a model is able to compensate for narrow hips or to balance wide shoulders, and also emphasize the waistline. Peplum jackets go well with tight-fitting skirts, dresses, and tight trousers.

Wrap jacket It looks very elegant, but at the same time not as formal as a jacket with a regular clasp. Such patterns are usually sewn from soft, well-draped fabrics. Knitted or crocheted lace jackets are also popular.

When choosing a jacket, it is very important to determine which style suits your type of figure. The lineup is represented by jackets of different cuts and silhouettes:

Straight jacket - This is a universal option that suits almost everyone, if you choose the right length. Owners of luxurious hips should stay on jackets with a length below the middle of the thigh. Shortened models to the waist look better on slender, fairly tall girls.

Fitted jacket - This is a real classic. This style, like the previous one, goes to the owners of various types of shapes, so if you like the model that emphasizes the waist, you can buy it without hesitation.

Fitted jacket - This is a rather rare variety of women's jackets, which is not very popular among modern fashionistas. Fitting models are usually sewn from thick knitwear, but this is not the most suitable material for outerwear.

Flared jacket - This is an original, flirty model that perfectly enlivens a strict business image. Models with a wide Basque can also be attributed to this variety of jackets. Its main advantage is that it can both mask wide hips, and vice versa, create the appearance of volume in this area.

Wide jacket - This is a kind of outerwear free cut. Some of these models look like shapeless and dimensionless, but there are also quite beautiful, interesting options. One wants to wrap oneself in a wide jacket made of warm wool fabric to hide from the weather.

The choice of material from which your jacket will be sewn depends primarily on the weather season. Some products will warm you in the cold, others will protect you from coolness during the off-season, and others will save you from the heat on a hot summer day.

• Mohair - fluffy wool, soft and silky to the touch. Jackets made of mohair are very comfortable, but quite voluminous.
• Tweed - warm wool material with a small inclusion of synthetic fibers. Tweed has a relief pattern, so such jackets look very interesting.
• Boucle - Another woolen embossed fabric that Coco Chanel loved to use for sewing jackets. This material attracts attention with an unusual wavy knotted pattern.

• Velveteen - This is a cotton-based fabric with a pleasant to the touch fleecy surface. From velveteen, soft casual jackets are usually sewn.
• Knitwear - This is a material that is suitable for light, summer models of jackets. Knitwear has a mixed composition, so it is not as demanding in care as natural fabrics.
• Linen - A fabric perfect for thin jackets designed for the hottest weather. Flax freshens the body and gives coolness, but at the same time it wrinkles very much.
• Cotton - one of the most affordable and comfortable to wear materials. Cotton fabrics absorb moisture well, it is not hot in them, and they do not require careful handling.
