Black coat

A coat is an irreplaceable thing for autumn and winter. In order for it to always be in place and to suit literally everything, it is best to choose a black product.

Black is rightfully considered one of the basic colors, which means that you cannot do without it in your wardrobe. It is versatile, combined with all colors and shades. Moreover, depending on the desire and imagination, black clothes can both favorably distinguish from the crowd, and help to merge with it.

Black is always in place, whether it be a business meeting, a trip for milk or a party in the club. A black coat in combination with different clothes and accessories will allow you to create many looks at once: from gentle and romantic to rude and seductive. A nice bonus of this color is that it is always in fashion, as it is irreplaceable.

One of the great advantages of black is that it suits any piece. It will help to emphasize harmony or hide problem areas. And he has much more resistance to dirt and dust, which you have to deal with on a daily basis. In this regard, a black coat is much more practical than any light one.

Classic styles have straight silhouettes, strict lines, there is no hood for most of the models. Models can be either single-breasted or double-breasted. There are different options for the hem - tapered, straight, flared - and in general it is all a classic coat. The length ranges from short to maxi. Fitted trench coats and straight hooded duffle coats are also classics.

The military style has its own characteristics. It can have hoods and large pockets, themed patches and metal details. In general, the appearance of such a coat resembles a military frock coat.

Oversized coats are in fashion - free and most often formless. They seem to be several sizes larger than the hostess.Most often they have an unusual cut of sleeves, collars, and hoods. Although such a coat is considered youthful, it will be relevant for the wardrobe and for an older audience.

Designers are quite free to design modern coats. They can be combined, combine the features of various types, and many traditional characteristics have been revised and changed. Hence, there are many variations with sewing collars (from tiny to large stand-up collars or turning into hoods), sleeves (from elongated and flared to their complete absence. Sleeves can be made from another material, for example, fur or leather), using fasteners ( buttons, zippers, rivets, and in the case of a dressing gown, this is just a belt).

You can also classify coat models by season. Summer ones are made of lightweight fabrics, but in winter they will have lining and insulation. Even a quilted coat will look more elegant than a regular down jacket, so you should not exclude this option for the cold season.

Short (to the thigh or slightly below) include coats, jackets, capes and capes, duffle coats, some oversized and trench coats. The most common knee length, as it allows skirts to be worn even in cool and rainy days. Despite the fact that the maxi length (to the ankle and to the floor) is incredibly fashionable these days, such a coat is not very suitable for everyday wear.

Top styles are trapezoidal coat, oversized, sporty and military style. Quilted puffy coats occupy a special place. Also in trend are maxi lengths, three-quarter sleeves or their complete absence. On black coats, bright buttons made in silver or gold are often found.

The presence of a collar is important, so that it can be classic or high stand-up, asymmetrical. Models with long open collars to the waist look spectacular. They can be made of other material, decorated with brooches. Knitted collar is popular on sports models. Fur collars made of natural or artificial fur are especially common, not only in classic colors, but also unnaturally bright.

An oversized coat will be relevant, free and voluminous, it sometimes looks like a hoodie. The length is just below the hips, and of the additional elements are used belts, sewn-on pockets, hoods, large collars. With the right accessories, a baggy coat will look very stylish and bright on a young lady, even taking into account the black color of the product. Another popular style in youth fashion is the "cocoon", when the coat is wide at the waist and hips and then narrows.

As for materials, leather and faux fur come out on top here. The coat can be made of them completely or only partially, for example, sleeves.

Since the coat is designed for cool, windy and rainy weather, it should be warm. Therefore, the most often used woolen materials with the addition of viscose, nitron, nylon, mohair, acrylic. The higher the percentage of natural wool in the fabric, the better it protects from cold weather and the easier it is for the body to breathe.

The most common materials for sewing coats are: gabardine (hard and almost non-wrinkle, has a water-repellent property), diagonal (elastic and smooth), crepe (a viscous material, good for drapery), boucle (the material has a loose convex texture), tweed (dense , good for embroidery decoration), vigogne (soft and fleecy), cashmere (luxurious and soft, but expensive, prone to pilling), drape (dense and heavy, but popular), ratin and flacome (fluffy materials made from pure wool).

However, a coat does not always have to be made of thick fabrics.In the spring, warm autumn, and not rarely in summer, light materials are allowed, for example, cotton (moleskin, corduroy) and synthetic water-repellent (Bologna, raincoat fabric). Jacquard, brocade, leather and fur coats are very popular this year. These materials can be found only on certain elements of the product, for example, sleeves, collar, pockets, hood.
