Women's hooded raincoat
How many times, leaving the house, have you regretted that your raincoat had no hood?
Women's hooded raincoat is:
- beautiful and stylish (provided that the hood itself is cut correctly);
- functional and convenient (if your hands are busy, or if you don't have an umbrella with you, or if it suddenly becomes too cool and uncomfortable);
- necessary (if the weather does not allow you to demonstrate your beautiful hairstyle, which another headdress can irreparably ruin);
- actual and fashionable (raincoats with hoods are always in fashion);
- intriguingly (have you read novels about a mysterious stranger whose face you can't see under the hood?).
Models
Trench coat or trench coat
The most stylish and respectable waterproof raincoat. Created at the beginning of the 20th century and literally means "trench coat".
Initially, this most recognizable characteristic style of the cloak, double-breasted, on a yoke, with a turn-down collar, shoulder straps, with a slit in the back, did not provide for a hood, but it was not for nothing that Evelina Khromchenko, a recognized fashion expert, said: “The trench coat will endure everything! Even sneakers. "
Indeed, a trench coat, with or without a hood, is always in fashion, and always out of fashion. The hood revives him and gives him a somewhat less austere and prim look.
Raincoat
A raincoat made of special synthetic material. Of the advantages - most often a cheaper cost than fabric models. It is very convenient to take such a raincoat with you on a trip instead of a heavy umbrella, which, moreover, will occupy your hands and will not protect your legs.
Of the minuses - as a rule, they do not allow air to pass through. True, some models of raincoats have ventilation holes. Such a model can hardly be called stylish, but modern designers are trying to give it elegance as well.
Cloak-coat
The most common type of raincoat, made from a dense and durable material such as gabardine.There is or was in the wardrobe of almost any woman.
Dust cloak
The anther cloak was originally a light long-brimmed summer cloak. Now it is just a light summer raincoat. Looks very nice over a summer dress in slightly rainy and windy weather. At the same time, the hood has not only a utilitarian function, but also creates a playful, flirty image.
Raincoat parka
A hybrid of a parka, that is, a warm jacket with a hood, and an anorak, a lightweight windproof jacket that is worn over the head. Not as warm as a parka, but with buttons or zippers, which is more comfortable than an anorak.
Hooded track jacket
For practical and energetic people.
Warm raincoat
It is especially good at the beginning and at the end of winter, when it is too hot in a fur coat or coat. The hood of such a model, with or without fur trim, is especially relevant, as is the waterproof coating.
Length
Depending on the situation, the length of the raincoat may be different:
- Do you value comfort and freedom of movement? For active people - short raincoats from the knee and above. The hood will keep your hands free and protect you from the elements.
- Want to showcase your beautiful legs and still look elegant? Your length is up to the knee. The accent on the beautiful hood will emphasize the elegance and lightness of the lines.
- Looking for reliable protection from wind and rain? You will feel comfortable and confident in a properly fitted long trench coat with a hood. In addition, this style will help to stretch the silhouette and make you slimmer. By the way, this is also a classic raincoat, which was supposed to be ankle-length.
Colour
Modern designers use a wide color palette of fabrics. You can choose a raincoat model of any color or with any print that suits your style:
- black and white - a win-win timeless classic;
- calm pastel colors - blue, white, beige - are elegant and noble;
- bright colors - red, yellow, green - will emphasize your individuality and originality;
- prints imitating the skin of reptiles, or leopard - for bold and confident ladies who love effects.
Material
Based on the functionality of the raincoat, its material should be dense and waterproof. The same trench coats were sewn of woolen or cotton fabric with waterproof impregnation, and raincoats were made of synthetic fabrics, which, of course, is extremely practical, but not too elegant.
When choosing a raincoat, modern women are guided not only and not so much by the practicality of the model as by its beauty and style, therefore corduroy, cashmere, wool, gabardine, and jeans are valued. For summer models, linen and cotton fabrics are still relevant.
Leather raincoats never go out of fashion, however, the choice of these models should be approached with caution, since being out of fashion does not mean looking anachronistic. And a heavy leather hood will not always adorn the owner of such a raincoat.
For special occasions, raincoats are made of luxurious fabrics: velvet, satin, silk. Cloaks are decorated with embroidery, beads and rhinestones, which looks mysterious and attractive if a sense of proportion is observed. The hood of such a model, gracefully draped over the head, will add intrigue to its mistress. Feel like a participant in the Venetian carnival!
What to wear with
When deciding what to wear a raincoat with, you need to proceed, first of all, from its style, fabric and length.
- A short raincoat of almost any color and from almost any fabric is suitable for jeans. The choice of shoes is also yours, it can be both with heels, preferably straight square, or without. One note - jeans should be straight or tapered.
- For dresses, choose a raincoat that covers the hem. The belt of such a raincoat, whether straight or flared, will accentuate your waist. From footwear, both shoes and boots will be appropriate. If you wear heels, then in this case it will only improve your image.
- A pencil skirt, a blouse or a turtleneck sweater, a light scarf and a raincoat - what could be more stylish and at the same time more versatile? Add shoes or boots with heels and you are ready to go.
- Evening Dress? Or maybe even a wedding one? Well, of course, a velvet or lace cloak. Stiletto heels, a drop of perfume. Eternal femininity, eternal mystery.
