What can I wear with a black coat?

If you don't know what to wear, put on a black ... coat. You can argue as much as you like about what black is - "the color of lack of color" or a color that has absorbed all other colors, but such a coat will always be appropriate in your wardrobe, because you cannot find it more versatile and more modern.

A black coat, like any other, can be:

Short. Suitable for young and older women. Depending on the style, it will help to stretch the silhouette or hide the extra pounds.

Mid-Knee Length... Looks great on women of any age and complexion, the main thing is to choose your style.

Long... Suitable for women of tall stature, however, it should be borne in mind that a long black coat can behave insidiously and add years to its young owner, but an older lady, on the contrary, will help emphasize elegance and sophistication.

Depending on the season, the choice is huge:

• For spring or autumn - wool, knitwear, jersey, velvet, velor, tapestry, gabardine, leather.
• For a black summer coat - corduroy, lace lined, jacquard fabric, metallic printed satin.
• Winter will require heavy drape, cashmere, tweed. Such coats are often sewn with insulation.

Black is very grateful in terms of combining with other colors:

Black and red. Eternal intrigue, passion, flamenco.

Black and white. Color combination of aesthetes.

Black and pink. Harmony and, oddly enough, freshness.

Black and blue. Austere, but at the same time (if blue is a beautiful deep) not boring at all.

Black and beige. Elegance for every day.

Black and brown. Do not rush to immediately build associations with the Soviet school uniform (by the way, it had its merits). Just choose a light to medium brown, such as cappuccino.

Black and yellow. Bright, bold and a little harsh, because in nature this combination is associated with danger.

Black and orange. A joyful combination.

Black and gray. Free, but at the same time complete and laconic image.

Black and green. A balanced combination of colors, black in this combination mutes the cheerfulness of green, and green, in turn, prevents black from becoming frankly dull and gloomy.

Classic straight black coat - double-breasted or single-breasted, with a stand-up collar or English collar. It depends only on you whether you prefer a total black look or complement it with stylish accessories - a scarf, gloves, a hat - in contrasting colors.

Black hooded coat - medium length duffle coat with zip from top to bottom and hood with bright lining. Boots with flat soles, short gloves in the color of the lining are uncommon classics.

A flared black coat with an English fur collar up to the waistline and decor at the waist will emphasize your excellent figure. A wide-brimmed black felt hat is very suitable for this style, which will add an alluring mystery to your image.

Black and white coat - in a large or small cage, in a houndstooth, "zebra pattern", with different prints. Very original models with one white hollow, and the second black. An interesting solution is a white coat with large black patch pockets, a collar and cuffs made of black fabric. There can be many styles. The only caveat is that the more complex the print or decor, the easier the cut of the coat itself should be.

A black coat without a collar is a great option to use a scarf, fabric, knitted or fur.

A winter black coat is a rather heavy thing, and the season does not make us too happy with joyful shades, so give yourself and those around you the opportunity for interesting combinations of your black coat with accessories, shoes and a hat, perhaps not even of the same color, but in the same color scheme ...

Straight black coat. You can safely wear jeans under it (even boyfriend jeans are suitable for a cropped coat), straight trousers or a classic business suit, a pencil skirt with a blouse or turtleneck sweater, dresses with a straight or tapered hem.

It is better if all things are in the same color scheme or no more than three different colors that go well with black so that the whole image does not look too colorful. One of the most stylish options is a white sheath dress worn under a black coat.

A black military-style coat (looks spectacular with gold buttons) should be combined with the hard lines of the silhouette, which means jeans and straight trousers.

A fitted black coat with a flared skirt. Bright dresses with a flared skirt will look great with this style. It is important to keep track of the length of the dress, it should not look out from under the coat. You can try a look with skinny jeans. The main thing, when choosing such a style, do not wear shapeless or voluminous clothes, save them for other coat models.

A black tulip coat with a classic suit (with a skirt or trousers - your choice) - romance and grace.

A black vintage coat with cropped sleeves will demand the femininity of the whole look: dress, gloves, hats.

A black cape coat should be combined with a slim bottom to create a very elegant style.

A dress made of metallic fabric is very suitable for a summer black lace coat or a coat made of printed satin. Metallic shoes and a clutch will help complement the look.

If your coat has a fur collar, then only a shawl, stole can be used as a scarf, or the scarf itself should be made of fabric. In the absence of fur on the collar of the coat, and especially if the coat has no collar at all, you may need a beautiful scarf.

Beautiful draperies from scarves-stoles look spectacular on a coat of a strict and laconic straight silhouette.

A long scarf made of thick yarn with fringes tied over a long black coat will give you a slightly casual look, which will make the whole look not boring.

A knitted scarf can be tucked in rolls around your neck over your collarless black coat. A voluminous scarf-collar, snood or tube scarf, which can be thrown over your head in cold weather, will very much revive and complement such a coat.

A fur boa will accentuate the graceful silhouette of a black flared coat. With a shortened version of a coat of this style, lightweight thin-woven, silk, chiffon and even gauze scarves of bright colors and prints will also look appropriate, which will create a very elegant and playful image.

For a black cape coat with a small collar, you can choose a lovely yellow patterned fabric scarf.

Few can afford to wear a coat without a headdress (especially in a country with harsh climatic conditions. A coat is a warm outer garment (with the exception of a summer coat, of course), therefore, when choosing it, be careful about choosing a hat, hat, beret for comfort and completeness of the image.

Hat. The classic version, suitable for almost any coat style, can create interesting duets:

• a fedora hat with a contrasting ribbon (it is also sometimes called a gangster hat) and a long straight coat - a daring look;
• a hat with short brims or completely without brim and a shortened version of a straight cut coat - a strict but stylish option;
• a hat with a wide brim and a flared coat - romance and glamor, vintage and femininity itself.

Beret suits everyone. The only secret is what it is and how to wear it:

A knitted voluminous beret with a large openwork knit (made of yarn or fur) goes well with a straight long coat and will give you not only style, but also comfort. Suitable for women and girls with a round face, provided that they will not push it over their forehead, but move it back.

A soft felt beret and a flared coat will help you create a true French look, and at the same time smooth out the angular lines of a square face by sliding the beret to the side and covering half of your forehead.

A leather beret with a visor will add spice and charm, it will look good with a black short coat.

As well as beret, the hat suits everyone. The main thing is to find your style:

Round and elongated hats with pom-poms are companions of a short straight coat or a coat with a hood. Sports hats, knitted from fine yarn or sewn from fine knitwear, are also suitable.

A cap-cap is perfect for a black military-style coat.

You will look very feminine in a short or long black winter flared coat and a fur Kuban hat.

A turban hat and an oversized black coat are unusual, but effective.

And again, one should start from the style of the coat itself:

The longer the coat, the shorter the length of the shoes, that is, it is better to choose ankle boots, ankle boots, boots or low shoes for a long coat, and long boots are needed for short versions.

Designers of fashion houses have convincingly proved that from now on, combinations are allowed not only of a coat + boots (ankle boots, boots, ankle boots), but also a coat + shoes, and even ... coat + sandals. Of course, the latter should have a closed heel, wide straps and a massive platform. They are worn with tight tights to match the shoes, over which leggings are sometimes worn to balance the silhouette of a short coat and shoes (sandals).

Sneakers or even sneakers with a short straight-cut coat or a duffle coat have also ceased to be something outrageous, but still not everyone decides on such a combination.

Refuse to give up positions and the combination of boots + miniskirt (or shorts) with a short or long straight coat.
