Gray coat
A striking example of classic outerwear is the gray coat, which is popular at all times and is perfect for every female type. Of course, if you know how to choose what to wear and follow fashion trends.
Models and styles
As soon as designers do not change a gray coat, they strive to create unique clothes with elements of classics! Thanks to this zeal, you and I can choose a gray coat from many options:
- sports models that must be worn exclusively with sports shoes;
- high-waisted, showing the beauty of the chest;
- military, removing all rules and restrictions;
- long to the floor, similar to dresses;
- flares from the chest;
- with sleeves "three-quarters" or "bat";
- with smell.
Separately, I would like to note short models - they look great on almost any figure and are at ease about combining with other elements.
Stand-up collar coat it will look even better if a discreet accessory is successfully matched to it - even a light scarf will make a gray coat interesting and expressive.
Length
Under long gray coat it is not necessary to wear boots, it is better to choose boots, shoes or ankle boots. As for clothes, it is better to wear tight-fitting clothes under such a coat: skinny jeans, leggings, straight dresses, pencil skirts. Although it is possible to achieve a harmonious combination with classic trousers.
Shades
We are used to three variations of gray: classic gray, light and dark. But these are not all tones based on gray. Even the famous film mentions 50 shades of gray.
We will not consider such a number, but we will mention the most interesting of them:
- gray with a silvery tint;
- almost white, slightly periwinkle;
- pearl color;
- pigeon gray;
- dark mouse, looking very noble;
- dark anthracite, which will turn a little more marengo blue;
- unusual quartz;
- the color of wet asphalt that has become a classic.
When buying a gray coat, choose a variety of shades, because the standard gray color is boring and not relevant this season.
The gray color itself is beautiful, deep and alluring, but designers are trying in every possible way to dilute it, to make it more interesting. Therefore, more and more often you can see a gray coat with a different print in collections and in stores. It can be intricate and act as the main element, but it can also be simple and unobtrusive, serve as a pleasant addition to the main color. A bit of retro styling hasn't hurt a single piece yet.
Designers more often than usual use a cage of various sizes, speck and herringbone.
Youth
For full
Who said that a gray coat should not be worn by overweight women? This is a great nonsense. It is not only possible, but also absolutely necessary. Only you need to choose dark shades of gray, which will add harmony and sophistication. It is worth choosing free models, to which you can add a wide belt.
A categorical "no" fat girls should say to thin belts and compact handbags, which will look at least strange.
Fashion trends
A coat with meek sleeves, which can be tight or loose, should be worn with long gloves - this look will look great and reflect casual luxury.
Wide sleeves, like the well-known bat, persistently seep into all areas of fashion, and now they can be found in a gray coat. Models in the best traditions of the classics began to be decorated with the most unusual details taken from other styles.
Short pile on fur collars can be made in the same tone as the coat or be a contrasting element.Fur looks especially gorgeous on a gray fabric, consisting of several colors that shimmer beautifully.
A coat with rounded shoulders is a novelty this season, and trench coats, coats in the form of capes, mantles and ponchos have received a second life.
Textile
A wide range of materials can be used for the production of a gray coat, among which drape, noble leather, delicate cashmere, rich fur, playful velor and flannel are most often chosen.
When the goal is to create a feminine and romantic coat, coupon or jacquard fabric is used.
If a winter coat is created in gray, then drape, leather or a material created on the basis of wool is often chosen. The synthetic winterizer is actively used, which is indispensable when creating winter outerwear. As before, the combination of leather and fur trim remains at its best.
How to choose?
As we said before, gray has a ton of shades that you need to be able to choose. It is necessary to be based on the type and characteristics of each girl separately.
Having dark hair and pale skin requires choosing a coat with a rich, deep color. If a light coat was chosen, then bright and expressive accessories must be present in the image.
The predominance of light shades in a woman's image requires the choice of a coat in light pastel gray tones.
Red or chestnut hair and blush on the cheeks indicate the autumn type of its owner, to which gray in its pure form is very suitable.
We figured out the color, it's time to get down to the style that is selected depending on the type of figure:
A triangular shape (thin waist, narrow shoulders and wide hips) will look good in a coat with wide collars. This element is able to bring balance to the image.
The sand figure is a reason for pride, as it is considered ideal. With such a figure, it is allowed to choose any coat, in any case it will look great.
The apple-shaped figure (narrow top and bottom, but a voluminous belly) leaves little choice regarding the coat. A girl with such a figure will need to choose from O-shaped models and military style. The shape, which in its outlines resembles a pear, requires emphasis on the waist and the presence of expressive, voluminous collars in the coat.
A square figure is deprived of the correct proportions and indicates the presence of excess weight. In this case, the coat should reach to the knee, have a fitted top and a wide bottom.
What to wear with?
Colour... A coat without accessories simply cannot exist, it would be a crime against fashion. Mistakes in the choice of additional elements are done by everyone, from young girls to sophisticated fashionable experience ladies.
Although the fashion world is constantly changing, the main rules remain the same, with the exception of the rule of three colors. If the image is of a romantic or business nature, then this rule should be strictly observed, but when a casual style is considered, then you can forget about the three colors and experiment for your own pleasure.
Accessories... The list of required accessories includes the following items:
Scarf. It can be chosen in almost any color, with a variety of ornaments, patterns and prints. Even a gray scarf can be matched with a gray coat, but it is necessary to achieve maximum contrast. The scarf must be suitable for the season and weather conditions.
Particular popularity is noted in the category of scarves "a la rus", Arabian shawls, products with animalistic animal prints.
A long coat won't look good with a wide-brimmed hat, but it looks pretty good with a beret.
Belt or belt may be leather - this is a win-win option that is sure to be present in the wardrobe of every fashionista. If you do not have it yet, then you urgently need to buy and wear it under your gray coat. The same bright belt will help to combine bright shoes and a gray coat in a single tandem.
The wide belt will highlight the waist, protect from the wind and transform any coat.
According to modern fashion requirements, shoes should not repeat the color of the bag, it is more important that the shoes match the color of the coat.
If we talk about colors, then you can choose brown, red and black shoes. Brown can be controversial, but the secret to creating a successful look is choosing the right shoe shade.
Popular and suitable for a gray coat are a sandy shade, a combination of red and brown, camel color. Having plunged headlong into the problem of choosing shoes, do not forget about tights. If your legs cannot be called the standard of beauty, then tights are selected strictly to match the shoes.
Stars in a gray coat
A gray coat is a frequent choice for many celebrity women:

Sarah Jessica Parker is probably an outcast fan of the gray coat, since there are several such cute things in her wardrobe.
Stylish and fashionable looks
What images did they choose for themselves and did they choose the right additional elements for outerwear?
Are you still afraid to pair a gray coat with a white one? Then turn your attention to the next lady, who may be going on a date, to a restaurant or a theater, or maybe she just decided to conquer this world today. And she has every chance of this, since her image is matched perfectly. The play of shades, which include milk chocolate, silver and ivory, would not be so captivating without the gray coat, which serves as a great addition, rather than a main element.
