Is it legal to wear a coat in winter? What to wear with a coat: photos of fashionable images How to choose trousers to match a coat

The coat is considered a classic in the men's wardrobe. An elegant coat visually enlarges your shoulders and makes your figure more toned and slender. The silhouette of a man in a coat is laconic and neat, and the original style attracts attention, emphasizing the dignity of the male figure. The coat can be worn both for formal occasions and for work or a walk.

What and how to wear it with

Fashion designers have created a large number of universal styles of men's coats. It is not surprising that men of all ages choose this type of outerwear. The variety of textures and types of fabrics is quite large, from tweed and wool to velor and leather. Under the coat they wear a pair of trousers, a sweater, and jeans. The main thing is that your clothes are in harmony in style with the chosen coat.

The coat is chosen based on the following principles: you should like it, have a sleeve length up to the middle of your palm, and the width of the lapels should correspond to the width of your shoulders.

By style

The main styles of men's coats are double-breasted, single-breasted duffle coat, classic Chesterfield coat, short cover coat and their modifications.

Pea coat

The peacoat, which came into fashion from naval uniforms, took root in men's casual clothing due to its versatility, and then became fashionable. Dense wool material protects from wind and bad weather. The two-row, visible button closure ensures a close-fitting fit, while wide lapels add warmth to the chest.

The pea coat model can be worn both in autumn and winter. A jumper-sweatshirt and jeans will go perfectly with it. Classic-style trousers are usually combined with a checkered shirt and vest. Choosing shoes to go with a pea coat is also easy. These can be either shoes or boots, or sneakers with dark soles.

Double-breasted and single-breasted

If you are a lover of traditions or are not sure of your preferences, it is best to opt for a classic coat. The classic coat is distinguished by a strict cut and a straight silhouette. Color, as a rule, does not go beyond calm black and gray tones.

Traditional English-style coats are made from tweed. Tweed has a texture that decorates the classic coat style and looks noble and elegant. A tweed coat will look rich in a duet with a knitted sweater and dark jeans. But in choosing a scarf, you can take some liberties. For example, wear a catchy scarf in a checkered pattern - orange and blue, brown or green.

For a business meeting, wear a dark or gray suit with a shirt and tie. A set consisting of a jumper, shirt and trousers is also worn under a double-breasted coat. The image created by this ensemble is less restrained, rather democratic.

The range of clothing items that can be combined with a classic coat is wide. But sports-style items are not included in this list, and such an ensemble looks ridiculous.

Length

Long

Classic coat models are sewn to the knee. It is important to maintain all proportions so that a man’s figure looks perfect. Long coats with a belt look good only on men with an athletic build and tall stature. For those whose height is below 175 cm, it is preferable to choose models of medium length.

A short

Short coats are preferred by men of all ages. Since every man loves to move actively, short models are produced not only for autumn, but also for winter. For coats from a series of peacoats or jacket models, a darker bottom in combination with high ankle boots or boots with massive soles would be a good choice.

Colors

Black

A respectable man strives to purchase, first of all, a black coat. There is an opinion that a black coat suits almost everyone. Therefore, this color has gained great popularity among both mature men and young guys.

This statement is true. A black coat is extremely elegant because the black color outlines the entire figure as one. To look fresh and smart in such a coat, it is best to leave it as the only item in black. The remaining items in the set should be chosen in pastel and lighter colors.

Gray

A gray coat is no less versatile than a black one. A light gray coat can rightfully be called elegant and spectacular. A gray coat with a length slightly below the knee looks especially harmonious, and a neutral tone allows you to choose brighter things to match the coat. You can wear tight-fitting trousers and sports trousers under casual street coat styles.

Blue

A navy blue coat does not go out of fashion for many seasons in a row. This is a classic color designed to highlight the face and create an elegant look. A man in a blue coat can afford to wear classic patent leather shoes, a bright scarf and beautiful suede gloves. For a blue coat, compared to a black coat, the range of tones close to it is wide enough so that you can choose trousers and a jacket that match the color. Short blue carpet coats are among the most popular models of men's coats.

Beige

The beige coat was called “camel”, as its color was originally associated with camel hair. The beige and brownish tones make the coat stand out in the crowd. Beige coats have become prominent representatives of the casual style, since the beige color has many shades, including the lightest and brightest. To pair with a beige coat, you need discreet accessories and shoes in the darkest shades.

Accessories

When it gets cool outside, you have to think about what hat to wear along with your coat. Many men like to wear a stylish hat or cap at this time of year. A good solution would be to choose a black or gray hat made of velor or felt. A cap under the coat needs to be made of leather or wool.

For colder seasons, such as late autumn or winter, the fashion industry offers an impressive selection of knitted hats. Many males prefer sets consisting of a hat and scarf in discreet tones: black, brown, blue, all shades of gray and beige.

If the coat is non-classical, in a casual style, a brighter hat will go with it. The main thing is that there is only one such item in the ensemble. The scarf in this case should match the tone of the coat.

A fur hat is designed for the coldest winter days. The choice of fur depends on your taste and style of coat. As for color, it is best to match it with the color of the coat, choosing a black or dark hat with matching fur.

Which shoes to choose

The obvious fact is that the viewer's eye is first drawn to your shoes. Shoes should not only be clean and modern, but also match your coat. For autumn models, black shoes and boots will easily create a uniform set in style.

Can an insulated coat replace a down jacket? What lies inside a truly warm thing? How to choose and where to buy the right coat? After all, how to properly care for it so that it lasts for a long time?

We talked to the founders of two Moscow outerwear brands, Sofia Zharova and Dina Lubentsova (ButterMilkGarments), and learned all about insulation. Let’s immediately make a reservation that SofiaZharova’s items cost twice as much as ButterMilkGarments – the brands operate in different segments, use different materials and technologies, but approach quality issues equally responsibly.

Can an insulated coat replace a down jacket or parka?

The most versatile and comfortable clothing for late autumn and winter is, of course, a parka. This is an insulated coat made of jacket or raincoat fabric, usually with a hood. The parka is wearable, lightweight, protects well from the wind, is not afraid of moisture and dirt, practically does not deform and is easier to care for than a classic coat or fur coat. In addition, it is easy to combine with almost any clothing - be it a formal suit or an evening dress.

A high-quality winter coat can be an excellent alternative to both down jackets and parkas. Gone are the days when winter coats were heavy and bulky, like sheepskin coats and fur coats. Modern insulation makes it possible to make a truly warm winter coat that will be beautiful and light. To my taste, it beats the traditional fur coat for financial, practical, and ethical reasons, not to mention the fact that it looks more modern. Yes, coats are heavier than parkas, more expensive, and cannot be washed, but the beauty and variety of textures compensate for these features.


What is the difference between a winter coat and a demi-season coat?

Sofia Zharova, founder of the Sofia Zharova brand

Most demi-season coats do not provide insulation; the ability to keep you warm in cold weather depends on the properties of the main fabric. Such coats are usually designed for above-zero temperatures (up to +5C°). In Moscow they are worn in September-October. Already in November, the thermometer fluctuates around zero, periodically dropping below. For most European countries, this is winter, but for us it is a reason to wear an insulated demi-season coat. This can be worn down to -5C°. A winter coat should be windproof and insulated enough to withstand frosts, on average from -5C° to -15C°.

For classic coats, we use fabrics made from natural fibers as the main material. They are more expensive than synthetic and blended ones, but their advantages - beauty, warmth, tactile properties and ability to recover - are undeniable.

In all insulated coat models made from classic materials (wool, cashmere, alpaca, mohair), we use a thin membrane immediately after the coat layer - this is a special breathable fabric with water-repellent impregnation that protects against wind and excess moisture during heavy snowfalls. No matter how much you insulate your coat, if it is blown, everything will be useless.

We use Slimtex as our main winter insulation. This is a modern technological insulation based on microfiber, very effective in terms of thickness and thermal insulation. The insulating properties of such insulation with a thickness of 2.5 mm correspond to a layer of padding polyester 3 cm thick. It does not deform and does not require quilting, which means it allows you to create thin and light insulated coats or parkas, focusing only on the lines of the style. It turns out to be an interesting alternative to almost any down jacket - after all, they are all quilted with a diamond or stripe pattern, and are much more voluminous. Slimtex does not lose its properties during washing and dry cleaning, and solves the problem with the ubiquitous feathers that come out. Coats with such insulation can easily withstand temperatures down to -15C°.

Another favorite of mine is the Rot-Weiss sheep down insulation from Kufner (also known as sherstepon or wool). This is a mesh made of viscose fibers through which sheep wool is threaded - reminiscent of a thin Orenburg down scarf. This insulation is completely weightless, very flexible and adds absolutely no volume. We put it together with the thinnest membrane in insulated demi-season models, perfect for cold autumn or warm winter (down to -8C), we use it to insulate the sleeves of classic winter coats, and also in addition to Slimtex in winter models designed for deep frosts down to - 25C° – for additional comfort.


Dina Lubentsova, founder of the brandButterMilkGarments

I choose a fabric blend with a significant percentage of wool for coats and cotton for parkas. Natural fabric “breathes”, unlike inexpensive synthetics. Often a membrane is used to create air exchange, but it significantly increases the final cost of the product. Fabric impregnated with WR and coated with PU on the reverse is often sufficient. The same goes for coats: wool warms better than inexpensive synthetics, and the use of technologically advanced artificial fabrics requires an above-average price category. The cost of ButterMilk Garments items is comparable to the mass market - we try to optimize costs and balance the price-quality ratio.

We put a special insulation on the winter coat; it is quite thin and comes from the Orenburg shawl. Composition: 70% wool, 30% acrylic. This is a proven option over the years. Taking into account the wool top, such a coat can be worn down to -15C°, and if you put on a vest or a thin down jacket, it can cope with lower temperatures. It is important to understand that the indication of temperatures is conditional, the exact figure depends on the individual characteristics of the climate, the chosen shoes, hat, scarf, and, ultimately, on how long you stand at the bus stop or run with bags from Auchan.

What to look for when choosing a coat and other winter outerwear?

Sofia Zharova, founder of the Sofia Zharova brand

When choosing any outerwear, attention should be paid to the quality of materials, method of insulation and fit.

Planting is a matter of taste. It is better to choose models that fit quite loosely, but not bulky. Consider the features of a winter wardrobe, when clothes acquire additional volume. Even a thin cashmere jumper is thicker than a light dress, let alone cozy cardigans, sweatshirts and jackets. My favorites for winter are cocoons and Y-line coats with a dropped shoulder. Your favorite sweater will fit freely inside, and the outside will not feel “stuffed.”

The upper material should be pleasant both to look and to the touch. It is very easy to check for deformation - just rub the material in an inconspicuous place, as if you were washing out a stain, and then smooth this area (if the fabric is piled, then along the pile). High-quality pile restores its shape, which means it will be easy for you to care for your coat with a clothes brush. If the creases do not go away, then during wearing, care will arise, and the coat will most likely look untidy. Pills may appear on lint-free draperies - this is normal for wool, the main thing is how they behave. If they are easily removed, like fluff, everything is fine, if the peeling occurs “in the body” of the fabric or is difficult to remove, pulling fibers along with it, it is worth thinking about the rationality of the purchase.


The quality of the lining also plays a role. Lining made from artificial fibers is more durable and is less likely to be wiped, but it breathes less well and accumulates static electricity much more. In our coats we use a lining made of natural viscose, because the body constantly breathes, and in winter static is simply poured into the air. To increase wearability, I choose the most dense linings with a satin texture, which are usually used for fur coats. But with active wear, after a couple of seasons, such a lining may become thinner.

Insulation is a separate issue. It is advisable that the type of insulation and its brand be known (indicated on the label and on the manufacturer’s website, and a sample is included in the set of tags). In this case, you can always check information about the properties of insulation online. Manufacturers conduct tests of their products, you can familiarize yourself with the technical data for a specific insulation. The phrase “insulated coat” or “good Finnish insulation” says nothing about the real properties of the product. Remember that coats made from classic coat fabrics and faux fur are breathable - ask how this issue is resolved. There must be either a membrane or another special technology, otherwise insulation will not work in windy weather.

It's good when the coat has a belt. In cold weather you will appreciate the extra fit; just the word “belt yourself” makes you feel warmer. Nobody canceled winter clothes under a coat, as well as warm scarves, gloves, and shoes. Blood circulation connects all parts of the human body together, and if you have cold shoes or gloves, you will still feel cold, no matter how warm your coat is. Take care of yourself, cherish and wrap yourself! The energy that the body spends on additional heating can be used much more rationally.

Dina Lubentsova, founder stamps ButterMilkGarments

It is worth paying attention not only to the presence or absence of insulation, but also to the thickness of the fabric itself; the standard for winter is from 500 grams. This parameter is never indicated, but you can tactilely feel the difference by comparing several coats. Look at the composition - mixed fabric is better than natural, it will last longer, wrinkle and peel less. A high collar will cover most of your face, and a double-breasted wrap will provide better protection from the wind.

How to properly care for a coat so that it lasts a long time?

1.Coats, like shoes, need to be allowed to rest. Ideally, don’t wear the same coat two days in a row. If this is not possible, arrange for him the most comfortable rest for the night. The coat should dry properly and “breathe”. Even if it's dry outside, your coat will still pick up moisture from your body's evaporation. When wet, coat fabric, when dried, will take the shape that you give it (like hair when styling). Therefore, use a special hanger for storing outerwear. These hangers have voluminous crossbars that thicken towards the edge of the shoulder. The width of the crossbar of a good hanger at the edges will be at least 5cm. Choose the correct length of the wings - for sizes up to and including M, 39 cm is usually enough; for L-XL, hangers with a length of 40-41 cm are suitable. If you don’t have one, buy one; restoring a deformed coat will be more expensive. After hanging the coat on the hanger, distribute it carefully: straighten the collar, check that there is enough space in the closet for the full length of the coat, straighten the lapels, straighten the floors, leave space for things hanging nearby. Even overnight, coats made from natural fabrics “sag” and regain their shape.

2. Clean with a coat roller; if the fabric has lint, it is better to use a special brush with a velor coating. This brush removes not only dust and dirt, but also pile creases.

3. In case of serious contamination, the coat should be dry-cleaned - it is strictly forbidden to wash the coat, otherwise it will “shrink” and turn into a child’s coat.

4. If you need to straighten minor creases, use a steam generator or the “steam boost” function, which most modern irons have. Steam the crumpled area on the floor without touching the sole of the iron to the surface of the coat, comb the pile with a brush and let the coat cool for a couple of hours on a hanger. At the beginning and end of the season, it makes sense to use a professional ironing service (usually in dry cleaners and studios) - using industrial equipment, it is possible to completely restore almost any shape defects that have appeared.

5.Try not to carry a heavy bag or backpack on your shoulder or forearm. If you still use a backpack, choose smooth textures; porous ones will “wipe” or roll up the coat fabric very quickly.

Where to buy a coat?

We have collected more than 50 coats of Russian brands - from very light to the most insulated -.

Modern fashion trends increasingly show a mixture of seemingly incompatible styles and images. Dresses and skirts no longer require high heels; they can be worn with sneakers, loafers and slip-ons. And an autumn coat, as it turns out, looks good in combination with jeans.

But in practice, combining “things from different operas” is not as easy as it seems. The variety of new models and styles on the catwalks raises many questions among fashionistas. How to make a fashionable look look harmonious, appropriate and not cause laughter behind your back? Let's turn to stylists for help.

From ancient times

Black classic

Of course, when choosing a coat, its color is important, which can also be influenced by fashion. Bright fuchsia or canary yellow will perfectly brighten up the gray autumn days. But, as you know, fashion is cyclical, and classics are immortal. In this case, a black coat acts as a classic.

Black color is universal, it can be combined with any other, and besides, it is non-marking. A black coat with jeans is a great option for city everyday life. Any jeans will go with a black coat, the main thing is to take into account the style of both.

Shoes and bright accents in the form of a bag, headdress, scarf or bright shawl will help diversify the look. Moreover, you can do this as often as you want, and every time the image will look fresh, although the base - a black coat and jeans - remains the same.

Light jeans with a coat

It is generally accepted that light-colored jeans are more suitable for the summer season. But do not forget about them for a long time during the cold season. Try combining light jeans with a coat - and your look will not go unnoticed. But you should remember that it is better for girls of luxurious shapes not to wear jeans in light shades.

White or light beige jeans should not be worn with a black coat; with such jeans it is better to opt for any light shade of outerwear. This way the image will look more harmonious, complete and light. The only exception is light blue jeans and a black coat.

But that is not all. You should also consider shoes when pairing a coat with light jeans. Black stilettos are unlikely to go well with light jeans, but black boots with a black bag and a black scarf will create a harmonious look.

Don't be afraid to combine a formal coat and affordable jeans. If you choose and think through everything correctly, then jeans will look harmonious with any coat. All you have to do is choose according to your taste and the weather outside.

Don't forget about accessories to complete the look. A bag, clutch, backpack, various stoles and scarves, belts, belts, hats, as well as appropriate shoes - it is important to take into account absolutely everything to make your appearance perfect. But it is important to remember that the brighter your coat or the more decorated it is (beads, appliqués, sequins), the fewer accessories you need to complement it.

Good afternoon, spring is coming, and today we will talk about HOW and WHAT you can and should wear different, different coats in the spring. I have already described which coats are fashionable this spring season in the article. I also told and showed in photographs how to do it correctly. And today we will talk about how to properly, stylishly and beautifully present yourself in a coat. We will analyze everything in great detail - for each piece of advice I have selected an evidence base in the form heaps of photos with the best examples of style.

At first we'll consider different STYLES…

  • fitted coat and straight cut coat
  • flared coat and poncho coat
  • collarless coat in Coco style and coat with fur collar
  • "overcoat" style in military style
  • cocoon coat with an oversized cut,

After we'll consider coats of different LENGTHS… That is

  • what to wear with short coat-jacket(classic and oversized coat)
  • what to combine a coat with to mid-thigh(photo examples of style)
  • how to wear classic knee length coat with trousers and skirts
  • and a long coat that is fashionable this season (midi and maxi).

So that everyone who is looking and searching can find all the answers to questions at once in one place - what and how to wear with a coat. Besides... if you haven’t bought yourself a coat yet, then this article will definitely help you understand EXACTLY WHAT kind of coat you want to buy.

So, let’s dive into the laws of the style of the coat genre.

And we start by understanding with coats of different lengths (from the shortest to the longest).

COAT LENGTH

rules for choosing clothes for coats of different lengths

Short COAT-JACKET

(what to wear with this season)

Short coat (coat that reveals the buttocks) – worn with trousers (narrow and wide), with shorts, jeans, and dresses.

If the coat is very short - that is, it ends just below the waist and almost looks like a small jacket or blazer - then all types of clothing that allow a jacket can also allow this coat into their style set.

A short coat-jacket can be fitted with beautiful finishing elements (pockets, double rows of buttons, drapery along the fastener line, etc.).

It looks beautiful if the edge of a tunic or blouse peeks out from under the edge of a short coat. And if the coat is cut like a mini-jacket, then a tunic just begs to go under it

It’s beautiful to wear this coat-jacket wide open (even double-breasted). Fashionable wide-cut models made of thick drape look especially stylish.

The laconic cut of a short coat can be complicated with additional accessories - a scarf, or a narrow neck scarf-tie.



How to wear skirts with a short coat. There is one rule for skirts and dresses peeking out from under a short coat - it can be formulated as follows:

  • E If the cut of the coat is widened towards the bottom, then the skirt should be full.
  • If the cut of the coat is straight– then the hem of a dress or skirt can be straight. So that harmony is not disturbed.

Only very smart stylists can disrupt harmony. And then, as a rule, their “violation” looks so harmonious that it immediately ceases to be a violation and becomes new rule of harmony.

The most varied footwear under the coat-jacket is also allowed - over the knee boots, boots, ankle boots, shoes.

How to Wear Pants With a Short Coat. A pea coat (a coat that covers the buttocks) can be worn with skinny jeans or trousers (for example, chinos, which are fashionable this season).

Coat UP TO THE MIDDLE OF THE THIGH

(how to wear with shoes and ankle boots).

A coat with a mid-thigh length can and should be worn WITH SHOES. The short length in itself makes the style of the coat lighter - and therefore light shoes are allowed to pair with the coat. Especially if the color of the coat is also light, light.


Always evaluate the visual “heaviness” of the coat. and for this weight, choose shoes of the same “heaviness” as the coat.

The “visual weight” of a coat consists of the following factors: firstly, length; secondly, large elements (collars, lapels, draperies, pockets); thirdly, color (heavy dark colors go worse with light shoes).

If the coat is dark, then light elements of the top (scarf, light bag, blouse, etc.) will help balance it out (toward “lightening”).

You can also visually make the lower part heavier (due to dark trousers, thick tights, a bag that is lower in the hands, and not at the top on the shoulder) - and then the whole image as a whole is balanced (the weight of the bottom and the weight of the top are equalized).

And further… such a long coat also allows SPORTS SHOES. But only if the STYLE is also minimalist and close to a business jacket.

Classic length coat KNEE Length
(style rules for this season).

Classic length coat - knee-length – can be worn with a skirt, trousers and jeans. The style of the coat itself will tell you what goes with it (we will look at the styles a little lower in this same article).
I just want to draw your attention to the fact that The dimensions of the coat should be balanced by the dimensions of the shoes. That is, the more massive the coat looks, the more massive your shoes should be.

Massiveness on the coat is created due to large cut elements(collars, patch pockets) or large design elements(for example, large tartan).


Although the model wide oversized coat, despite its powerful cut dimensions, allows for narrow shoes with thin heels. Here everything needs to be decided individually, your height plays a role, and the color of the coat itself and the clothes under the coat, and accessories - just look in the mirror and ask yourself if there is any preponderance and disharmony here.

Color also affects the visual size of the coat.- dark coats look visually heavier than light coats - and thin legs in tights under a coat as dark as a cloud do not look good - ankle boots, ankle boots and boots are better, and if shoes, then massive ones and paired with trousers or jeans.

But even if you have a dark coat, you can still wear it with shoes if you add a light element to the neck area - for example, a voluminous scarf in a light check.

What to wear with a LONG coat.

A long coat (with a length below the knee, to the middle of the shin and below) is usually worn with boots in cold weather, and part of the top of the boots generously hides the hem of the coat.

But boots at this length are not necessary - ankle boots will do the job perfectly here, in addition to thick leggings, tights, or skinny jeans.

You can also wear a dress with a hem flush with the hem of the coat under such a long coat.

This coat can be worn with shoes (left photo below) - but only if you know how to do it. Subtlety is needed here. The absence of unnecessary finishing details on the coat, the softness of the fabric (so that the coat does not stand like an ax but gracefully flows around you), and shoes should be thick enough (preferably on a platform) to support this coat.

A long coat looks good with classic trousers, semi-sports trousers, and chinos, which are fashionable this season.

This long coat with skinny jeans is also fashionable.

COAT STYLES

style examples for different coat models.

What to wear with STRAIGHT FIT coat.

A straight coat is a classic style. This is the design base from which you can create a touching, fragile image of a woman. Men's straight cut lines only emphasize femininity the one that is wrapped in such an ascetic-straightforward shell.
The length can be different - below the knee, knee-length, to mid-thigh.

Even the most masculine cut lines of a straight coat look good on graceful female figures.

As you can see in the photo below, the STRAIGHT cut of the coat can be worn with anything.

Do you see? And with ankle boots, and with shoes, and with socks, and with knee socks.

A straight coat can be worn just like that (buttoned/unbuttoned) or belted with a belt - fit it unbuttoned, especially under an elegant dress.

Classic FIT coat silhouette.

A fitted silhouette is what is most often looked for when choosing a coat. It is chosen even by those whose life circumstances have stolen their waist. And this is not their style at all - for overweight women or pregnant women, we recommend choosing completely different styles (they will be discussed below, this is a straight style with an oversized cut or a rounded cocoon style).

A fitted coat can be worn with skinny jeans and trousers, with a skirt (tapered or fluffy) - with ankle boots, boots, shoes.

You can further emphasize the waist in a coat with a wide belt or a thin belt. It will turn out beautifully if the coat is left unbuttoned.

How to wear a COCOON COAT

(wide and large OVERSIZED silhouette)

Cocoon coat(or OVERSIZED coat) is a “puffy” coat style...loose at the shoulders and slightly tapering at the bottom. With its outline, the oversized coat resembles a slightly wrinkled letter “o”.
Oversize coat- this is a model that visually seems 2-3 sizes too large - a coat from someone else's big shoulder. But this is the trend of the season and you need to boldly choose such styles and patiently explain to your grandmother that this is your size. and what is so fashionable to wear today.

A cocoon coat can be worn with skinny skinny jeans... under ankle boots or shoes. If you have chosen shoes... then leave the coat unbuttoned... and try to pull the sleeve up to elbow level.


Suitable for a cocoon coat and feminine boots, ankle boots, shoes... and men's style shoes, like low shoes with laces.

This particular style of coat (with an oversized cut) is ideal for overweight women.
You can verify this if you look at the photographs from the article.

What to wear with a coat WITHOUT A COLLAR.

Coat without collar— created specifically to reveal a beautiful woman’s neck... This style revolution invented by Coco Chanel... she believed that pearls and other jewelry could and should be worn with a coat. Modern fashion has omitted the bright spillikins, replacing them with peeking lace collars or knitted knee socks. It is also welcome to drape the neckline with scarves...

They fit this coat without a collar like ankle boots with tights... and so Wellingtons…

You can add here any style elements... the main thing is that these elements support each other... Like, for example, the hat, bags and heavy boots in the right photo below are held together.

Well, if we return to Coco Chanel... then the development of her idea of ​​​​a luxurious woman was this collection of coats presented below....

GLAMOR COAT models (without collar)

Business style lines suitable for a straight-cut coat... A jacket version of a coat with a fur collar can be wear according to the rules of a regular jacket...

HOW to wear an OVERCOAT (military style).

Army coat design a - not everyone dares to buy... It often seems that it is not clear what it can be worn with... In fact, a double-breasted overcoat provides many opportunities for beauty.

Firstly, in the buttoned version it creates a beautiful fitted silhouette– and two rows of buttons resemble a uniform, adding piquancy to your look – a woman in uniform has always turned on the male imagination. So why not use it.

It's simple ideal for little women– a super-short coat worn over mini-shorts – will allow long legs in beautiful tights to start right under the hem of the coat (see photo below)… this will lengthen your legs and elevate your entire figure.

This overcoat can be worn with skinny jeans, skinny trousers. Also, military style does not exclude a skirt or dress under a coat.

And if you add such a skirt-overcoat look high boots and a cap– it can turn out to be a generally luxurious image... Just leave your hair down, so that the image contains only a playful hint of a uniform... and not a complete transformation into a soldier’s lady with a tough military bearing.

What to wear with a coat with SHORT sleeves.

So... now let's deal with short sleeves... As we can see in the photo below - coats of any style can have short sleeves(bell coat (left photo)… straight coat without a collar (middle photo)… cocoon coat (gray coat on the right in the photo below)

A coat with short sleeves - in the classic version, worn with long gloves up to the elbows. But this is optional. You can simply wear a blouse underneath - and let the sleeves of the blouse peek out from the sleeves of the coat - there is nothing wrong with that.

The main thing is that your sleeves are STYLISTICALLY JUSTIFIED by other elements of the image.

The easiest way- this is when the sleeves of a blouse match the color of the coat... Just went to the store and bought a special blouse... A calm option - just for those who wouldn't dare to play with a fashionable construction set?– as in the example with a gray coat and a red and black jumper from the photo above.

But the classics of the genre are still high gloves up to the elbow...

But this is not at all necessary - blouse sleeves may be a different color... the main thing is that this color is not too alien for the whole image ... that is, something should justify this color ... a hat, shoes or bag.

A-line coat

(high-waisted, underbust style).

A-line coat... or a flowing coat... or a cliche coat...(as people don’t call this style of coat with a high waist and flaring downwards like a bell.

What to wear with COAT-PONCHO of different styles.

Cape coat - looks beautiful on tall women... If you are of short stature, then it is better to wear shoes with platforms and choose either a not very fluffy poncho model, or a not very long one (slightly covering the buttocks) - then a poncho coat will look proportionate even on a short person.

The "cape" style usually resembles a poncho with slits for the arms... or has short, wide tailed sleeves.

This poncho coat can have simple, sleek cut(as in the photo below).

Or the cape coat can be tailored with drapery elements – with numerous lush soft folds

Or the style of the coat can be maximum close in cut to the classic poncho... the same triangular shape and vertical slits for the hands. Then such a coat should be worn with long elbow-length gloves... or with a long-sleeve blouse.

With the onset of the first autumn cold, many are thinking about choosing a suitable coat for the new season. A coat is not a purchase that is made spontaneously. A coat should be chosen taking into account many different factors: material, cut, style, fit, etc. Because this is not just a purchase, but an investment in your wardrobe. The coat must “work” and recoup the investment in it by 200%. And taking into account our geographical latitude, the climate will provide many opportunities for the coat to work as it should.
Here are some coat buying tips to help you get the most out of this outerwear item.

Fabrics/materials

A lot depends on how often you plan to wear your coat. If you intend to wrap yourself in it with the onset of the first cold weather and not get out until spring, then, first of all, you need to take into account wear resistance. The strongest and most durable are wool, tweed, and cashmere. Accordingly, the greater the percentage of these materials in the coat, the more practical it is. Trendy velor and velvet are beautiful, but absolutely impractical, they quickly wear out and lose their original appearance. Leather and suede coats should be chosen from trusted places, since low-quality leather and suede wear out within a short period of time, become thinner, and then tear. It’s hardly worth looking at synthetics, since they don’t heat up.

Warm materials: cashmere, tweed, wool.

Style

Next you need to think about where you will wear the chosen coat. You also travel by car or public transport. If you need a universal coat that you will wear “both in feast and in peace,” choose a medium length. A short coat (short coat), which in its front resembles an elongated jacket, will not protect you from the cold. And a floor-length coat is not practical for those who walk a lot. The optimal length is approximately to the knee and slightly above/below.

Long coat

Basic coat models are a wrap coat in the Max Mara style, an oval cocoon coat and a straight/semi-straight coat. It's safe to say that one of these coats will suit you 100%. And if the main criterion for you is versatility, feel free to try on one of these coat models. Such coats are out of fashion and timeless. Fashion houses make them every year. In addition, they can be combined with anything, harmoniously complementing any look.

Cut

Particular attention should be paid to the quality of the cut of the coat. The quality of a coat can be assessed by the neatness and precision of the seams. Good seams are recognized by the fineness of the thread and the frequency of stitches. World fashion houses, in addition to seams made on a sewing machine, often use hand stitches. Make sure that all seams are hidden under the lining of the coat.
The bottom of the coat should be folded at least 3 cm, and the sleeves - at least 2 cm. If the coat has fur inserts and no seams are visible on them, then they are connected to each other using glue, and there is a risk that they may separate.
The inner pockets of the coat should be able to fully accommodate your hands; otherwise, the coat may not fit correctly at the waist.
Whatever coat you choose, the most advantageous sleeve cut is considered semi-raglan. It is very comfortable and allows you to wear not only tonic shirts, but also bulky sweaters under your coat. Such a sleeve will be loyal to you if you gain a size or two, and will allow you to wear this coat. A set-in sleeve is more demanding in this regard.

Fit

Most likely, you already know that when you go to try on a coat, you should be careful to put on a warm sweater. This trick not only allows you to assess the degree of comfort of the material, but also helps you avoid making a mistake with the size. This way you can choose a coat that doesn't bunch in the chest, pinch in the armpits, or form a bubble at the back.
What else you should pay attention to:

Coat length

A long coat fits better on tall women. If you're petite, consider knee length or just below mid-thigh.

Single or double breasted

A double-breasted coat looks bulkier. Therefore, slim girls should wear it. It is not suitable for those who have large breasts and excess weight around the waist (figure types: “triangle with the base up”, “stable rectangle”, “oval”). A double-breasted coat is often worn buttoned up.
A single-breasted coat can be tied with a belt at the back, on the back, so as not to create an additional horizontal line at the waist. This coat can also be worn unbuttoned.

Collar and lapels

Large lapels suit tall girls or those who have a pronounced dramatic type of appearance. If you are petite or average height and have a discreet appearance, choose a coat with the smallest possible collar and lapels.

Pockets

Beware of coats with patch pockets. These pockets create additional horizontal lines that cross your body - creating an expansive effect. Pockets in the hip area will make them appear larger. Therefore, avoid them if you have a base-down triangle body type. Pockets in the waist area are contraindicated for women with an oval, firm rectangle, or base-up triangle body type.

And don’t forget that a coat can “tell” a lot about you, because it is the first and last thing that others see on you. Therefore, when choosing a coat, be guided not only by common sense and intuition, but also by our advice. And then you will wear your chosen coat with pleasure and feel as comfortable as possible. Have a stylish autumn!
