Light coat

The off-season, the sun reluctantly gives us warmth, the wind shows its very cool attitude, and that's when a light coat comes to our aid as an alternative to standard cardigans, insulated windbreakers and jackets.

A feature of a light coat is ... its lightness, and also emphasized femininity, even if the coat has a shapeless oversized cut or sporty style. The image created with the help of this outerwear is always graceful, flying.

• A tulip coat is a light coat imitating a wrap dress, usually with rounded shelves and an accentuated waist. Single or double breasted, with different types of collars, with decorative elements in the form of peplum or fur trim, these coats are the embodiment of femininity.

• Jacket coat - wide shoulders, long collar line, loose fit, as if a thing from someone else's shoulder. An interesting solution for girls who love not the masculine style itself, but themselves in masculine clothes.

• Kimono coat - for those who love oriental cut lines. The sleeve is short, long, exaggeratedly free. Such a coat does not always have a fastener; it often imitates a wraparound robe with a wide belt.

• Sleeveless coat sounds strange, looks unusual, but this particular coat model is rapidly becoming fashionable (including in the rather unfriendly climatic conditions of the off-season of our country) and is popular both among designers of fashion houses and among women outside the catwalk.

• Cape coat. Two more topical novelties of the season, which are often confused with each other, are a poncho coat and a cape coat. A poncho is a square, round or rectangular cape with a hole for the head. Cape differs from it in that it is cut taking into account the lines of the figure, in particular, the shoulders, and usually has slots for the arms.Poncho - informal and unusual clothing, the cape allows you to create a rather elegant and even sophisticated style.

• A coat with a fur collar is for those who cannot imagine their life without luxury. And even if it's almost not cold outside - a detachable collar made of natural or faux fur will comfortably lay on your shoulders and give you a feeling of comfort and chic.

• An oversized coat - a wide cut, a lowered shoulder line, voluminous sleeves, will emphasize the fragility of a thin figure and visually make a lady slimmer, dissatisfied with the extra, in her opinion, kilograms.

• A summer coat with or without lining is an indispensable option for an evening out in a cool summer. Elegant lace, made of airy fabrics, or jacquard, sewn to the figure or tightly fitted with a fluffy skirt, they make an effective impression and leave a pleasant "aftertaste".

• An ultra-light coat with a down filling - for those occasions when we so want warmth, but rather cold evenings do not want to indulge our desires. A light quilted down coat will keep you warm without compromising your graceful silhouette.

• Coat made of waterproof fabric. A coat is good for everyone, except for one thing - getting in it in the rain, you risk not only getting wet, which is also unpleasant, but also losing your favorite item of your wardrobe, because not all fabrics easily tolerate abundant moisture. A coat made of waterproof fabric is designed to solve this problem, in it you can look great and will be reliably protected from insidious bad weather.

• A sporty coat - for those who prefer a sporty style or simply lead an active lifestyle and appreciate the opportunity to look fit and stylish, but at the same time feel absolutely comfortable.

Every woman who chooses for herself a light coat, summer or intended for the off-season, can be sure that the choice of length will be unlimited. As for the relevance of this particular season, there is a quite confident tendency towards the priority of the midi length - approximately, to the middle of the lower leg.

The materials used to create a light coat are not limited to seasonal conditions and can be radically different in composition, color, density. Lightweight drape and delicate lace, waterproof fabric and suede, quilted fabric with light insulation and thin patent leather, dense exquisite jacquard and weightless chiffon on the lining are successfully used.

When deciding on the color of the coat you choose, rely on your own color type of appearance and taste.

In light coats of joyful spring (blue, light green, coral), cozy autumn (ocher, green, orange, burgundy, chocolate) colors, summer evening coats in metallic, aquamarine, classic white, black or beige colors, in a coat with interesting prints or intricate decor, you will always be interesting to yourself and others.

The classic straight cut of the coat will require from you the same strict trousers or a skirt with a blouse, which will suit oxfords, boots or shoes with steady heels.

If you decide to take a chance and put on a coat-jacket, then the logical completion of the image will be a mini-dress and chrome over-the-knee boots: to shock - to shock with taste.

Straight jeans and loafers, a short straight cut tweed dress, tight tights and ankle boots, skinny jeans, a sweater and platform shoes, sneakers and loose pants, an airy lace dress, the length of which, contrary to usual, can be much longer than the length of the coat and shoes itself - boats - with a coat of this style, everything will be appropriate, and, as they say, in the subject.

A collarless cropped sleeve raglan coat can be worn over a long sleeve sweater or long gloves. A mid-thigh coat length allows you to wear a mid-length skirt and ankle boots or closed-toe shoes. A hat with a wide brim is perfect for this outfit.

The trendy style of this season - a sleeveless coat - can be of a lightweight type. If you wear it, for example, with skinny leather pants, a turtleneck and strappy shoes, you can be sure that you will attract attention.

With a poncho, one- or two-layer, you can afford to be naughty and wear a lace mini-dress that will look out from under a poncho, loose tights or high-top knee-highs with a pattern and platform shoes. With a cape, skinny dark jeans with a bone length, a white shirt-cut blouse with a tie and loafers will look great.

Summer light coats mean wearing them with elegant dresses of various styles or elegant trouser suits. Hairpins to help you!
