Batwing sleeve coat
Previously, outerwear was made according to a single template and differed from each other in only a few details. The coat was as close as possible to the classics and women had no other choice but to form strict images on its basis. And it was not always convenient.
Now the situation with women's coats has changed dramatically, new directions have developed, bold decisions have been implemented, and a woman can choose outerwear of various styles for herself. One of the most daring, charming and controversial is the batwing sleeve coat.
Advantages
Many advantages are hidden in a coat with such a loose and wide sleeves. We have combined them into one list:
- Femininity that focuses on the beauty of the silhouette and the gracefulness of its lines.
- The ability to express your individuality and retain the hallmarks of romanticism in any way.
- Soft enveloping of the figure, the flaws of which are hidden behind airy folds, which allows even puffy women to choose such a coat for themselves.
- Extraordinary style, which is based on the combination of wide sleeves and a fitted cut.
- The ability to use draperies, prints, embroidery and other patterns, which allows you to create unique coats.
- The embodiment of the oversize style, which includes wide things, as if taken from someone else's shoulder. This style is based on relaxedness, freedom, the absence of tightening, tight-fitting elements.
Models
The batwing coat offers endless spaces for designers who can play with colors, styles, cuts and décor to create unique pieces. Which ones? Let's see:
- Knitted coat with free sleeves has a certain appeal, a kind of luxury.The owner of such a coat will feel comfort and coziness in any weather, which is especially important in the autumn and winter seasons. You can even knit such a coat with your own hands: there are enough schemes and step-by-step instructions. Sleight of hand, perseverance and the desire to create an exclusive coat will allow you to achieve a delightful result.
- This season there is an increased popularity of hoods, which designers manage to add to every coat, be it a classic model or a coat with such loose sleeves. Hood easily transforms from a practical element that will warm and keep the hairstyle in its original form, into a decorative component of a coat. To do this, you just need to add fur for the edging.
- Belt Is another element that is often found in modern coats. Models with a bat sleeve are no exception, because designers suggest highlighting the waist with a belt.
Length
The most common length for a wide-sleeved coat is at hip, knee and waist. Designers do not risk creating long styles, because in this case the coat loses its sophistication, and the border between the wide top and narrow bottom turns out to be blurred.
It is recommended to wear short clothes in the form of a skirt or dress under a medium-length coat. Longer models that reach the knee, but do not cover it, look harmoniously with straight trousers, long skirts.
Textile
The most popular types of material used to create free-sleeved coats are woolen fabrics, textiles, yarns and cashmere. They stand out favorably against the background of other coat models made of natural material, which is painted in the most unusual and rather bright shades. For autumn, you can choose a coat of any gamut that suits your color type and fits perfectly into your usual wardrobe.
If the coat is created by knitting, then wool is necessarily used, but not in its pure form, but with the addition of synthetic materials, which will make the coat more durable and practical.
What to wear with?
Such an unusual style in outerwear requires the same extraordinary approach to the selection of the rest of the clothes to form a complete image. There are a few basic rules to follow for the owner of a bat-sleeved coat:
- If a woman has a large physique, then a coat with wide sleeves should be combined with an attached skirt. For miniature young ladies, such a coat must be worn with shoes with heels. After all, a coat with a wide top already conceals a few centimeters of growth, and when using heels, this negative effect will be neutralized.
- If the coat looks more like a poncho in its style, then the use of a voluminous scarf or shawl will play the opposite role and will not bring the desired effect, the image will turn out to be squat and bulky.
- A spring coat, which is endowed with elegance and consists exclusively of thin material, will look most advantageous with tights of an unusual color and expressive ankle boots.
- Owners of a winter coat with a bat sleeve style, which is additionally decorated with fur, should take a closer look at high boots and a warm winter skirt.
- Ugg boots, rough boots and simple shoes with a low speed should not be considered as affordable shoes. In such a combination, the femininity and elegance inherent in the coat will be completely destroyed, and the image will turn out to be ridiculous and too voluminous. There is also a taboo on tight pants, frayed jeans and leggings.
- Along with a coat of this style, there must certainly be a bag or clutch, various jewelry, but no frills. There are no special restrictions regarding headwear, except for a sporty style. It is also permissible to pick up scarves and capes.
Spectacular images
As an example of a well-chosen image, we can consider two models at once, which clearly demonstrate how to select additional elements in accordance with the color of the coat.
The milky model, in which the classic style is maintained, is matched with discreet wardrobe items: high leather gloves, a short skirt with a small print, beige boots and black tights. Although the shoes were chosen at a low stroke, this did not prevent from obtaining a laconic image. Attention is drawn to the collar-collar, which serves as both a decorative and a practical element.
The second look is based on the same coat model, but in coral color. Again we see high gloves and a skirt, however, already in beige tones. A clutch bag complements this look.
A coat with a fur collar will become a decoration of any girl. Such clothes are so self-sufficient that there is simply no need for any additions. The waistline is highlighted with a wide belt, and the interesting color of the coat is beautifully set off with black trousers and a top. It remains to add a confident gait and a sense of one's own irresistibility - the image is complete and it is magnificent.
