Views
In addition to the variety in the model range, there are also differences in the form and functional features of raincoats, which determine their relevance for certain conditions.
Demi-season
A raincoat designed for cool weather, but not suitable for severe cold weather, is called demi-season. As a rule, such a model has either a snap-on lining, or itself has a layer of padding polyester or some other insulating material.
Summer
Summer models of raincoats do not have any lining with insulation, and are most often sewn in the form of a single-layer product. The maximum that can be is a thin matter that covers the seams on the wrong side.
Winter
Winter raincoat models often have a warm fur lining or fleece layer, which makes the product incredibly warm and allows you to keep the heat inside. In addition, winter raincoats have a fur collar or fur ruffle on the hood as a decorative element.
Length
The length of raincoats can be varied, due to which the product will have its own peculiarity and a certain character.
For example, a short raincoat somewhat resembles a jacket and goes well only with a trouser bottom.
The classic model of the raincoat is mid-thigh length, which makes it suitable for combination with any bottom.
The elongated model, as a rule, reaches the knee, which allows you to wear a raincoat with short skirts or shorts, even in cool weather.
The midi length, that is, below the knee, to about the middle of the calf, is most often used when creating insulated models, such as a down-filled raincoat.
Floor-length raincoats are rather a decorative element of the wardrobe, since such a length is not very practical and functional.
Styles
The classic style of the cloak has already been mentioned more than once, but in addition to it there are many others, thanks to which the product has a characteristic appearance.
For example, Gothic-style cloaks have many decorative elements reminiscent of the gloomy pieces of clothing of yesteryear. Although such products look beautiful, they are specific and somewhat mournful, therefore in everyday life they are popular only among representatives of the corresponding subculture.
Not so long ago, the fashion for a retro style has returned to the world, which looks especially advantageous on raincoat models. A fluffy knee-length or midi bottom makes the piece incredibly feminine and looks like a chic dress.
The militari style has several characteristic elements, such as restraint in appearance, colors in swamp shades and shades of khaki, and no unnecessary decorative elements. Most often, a militari-style raincoat is a model of a raincoat - parka or a raincoat - a trench coat.
How to choose?
When choosing a raincoat, like any other product, the first step is to pay attention to the size, which should correspond to the parameters of the figure. Since too small a product will crush and wrinkle, and a large cloak will hang shapelessly on the body.

Cotton raincoats are called trench coats and, it is worth noting that such models are the most common. Lightweight polyester lining covers internal seams and prevents fabric fraying.
Knitted raincoat models are good for autumn, and models made using the felting technique will be relevant even at the beginning of winter.
Heaters
All sorts of insulation will be especially relevant with the onset of cold weather. Some raincoats have an inner warm layer, such as a synthetic winterizer, and do not need additional lining.
Some garments have a fur inner layer and may also have a fur or fleece lining. Do not forget about feather filling, which is used in the manufacture of down-padded coats.
