Short coat - fashion trends 2021

A short coat is, according to the very meaning of the word, a shortened version of the coat. The usual length of a short coat is from mid-thigh and below, but not reaching the knee.

The types of fabrics from which a short coat can be sewn are extremely diverse:

Natural materials:

• wool - llama, alpaca, camel, cashmere, angora, mohair, vicunia;
• skin - goat, pork, calf, buffalo;
• fur - rabbit, goat, mink, muton, astragan, sheepskin, astrakhan fur, sable, lynx, ermine, weasel;
• fabric - broadcloth, tweed, jersey, drape, corduroy, velvet, denim.

Artificial materials:

• fabrics with the addition of synthetics, for example, raincoat fabric and boucle;
• artificial leather and suede;
• artificial fur.

The short coat can be light or with insulation, which can be:

Natural:

• wool;
• sheepskin;
• down or down with a feather (duck, goose, eider).

The advantages of natural heaters are that they, as a rule, retain heat well, high wear resistance, and environmental friendliness. The disadvantages include their low hypoallergenicity, care, sometimes causing difficulties, rather high cost.

Artificial:

• Sintepon is one of the cheapest insulation materials, consisting of polyester fibers connected to each other. It is short-lived, has a rather large weight, and quickly loses its shape.
• Holofiber is one of the better types of padding polyester, a non-woven fabric made of synthetic fibers in the form of balls and springs, between which a fairly large amount of air is formed, which determines good thermal insulation properties.Differs in greater lightness and durability.
• Isosoft is an improved modification of the holofiber.
• Fleece is an artificial fabric, often used as the main material for sewing clothes, and as a lining-insulation for outerwear; lightweight and warm.
• Thinsulate is a synthetic insulation, comparable in its thermal insulating properties to swan's down; lightweight, not creating a large volume, slightly susceptible to deformation; quite expensive.
• Dupont sorona is one of the most modern semi-synthetic insulation materials, elastic, non-hygroscopic, hypoallergenic.

The cut of a short coat can be as varied as the cut of a full coat:

• straight;
• fitted;
• flared;
• with straight floors;
• with rounded floors (tulip skirt);
• A-shaped silhouette;
• detachable along the waist line;
• detachable along the chest line (empire style);
• trapezoidal;
• with smell;
• asymmetric.

The style of the sleeves of a short coat may be familiar, but sometimes an unusual type of sleeve is the main highlight of this type of outerwear:

• set-in;
• deflated;
• one-piece (bat, kimono);
• raglan;
• empire style;
• straight;
• narrowed downward;
• flared down
• swing.

The sleeve length of a short coat can also vary:

• long;
• 7/8;
• 3/4;

Among young people this season, the cage, large and small, simple and complex, one-color and multi-colored, has gained particular popularity. For romantically inclined young ladies, a delicate pastel short coat in the Empire style is perfect. For girls who prefer military style, fashion designers offered super-fashionable duffle coats and pea jackets, despite their ostentatious brutality, and the cut, which does not emphasize the figure, with bright shiny buttons, demonstrates fragile feminine severity.

As before, for young girls, short coats in the boho style are relevant, the glamorous comfort of which helps them emphasize their bright individuality. Young sportswomen and just beauties who lead an active lifestyle choose short parkas and asymmetrical short coats for everyday street look. Young ladies who want to look more elegant at their first business meetings prefer the business style of short coats and cardigans.

If it is not always easy for a lady of a wide soul and size range to choose a fur coat or sheepskin coat, then when choosing a short coat, she should not have such problems. Now, finally, many firms have realized the fact that the beautiful representatives of the Russian population do not always find themselves in the frames from 40 to 44 sizes, and have quite decently expanded the range in which new models of short coats are sewn. Now ladies, even with an infrequent size 70, can not only buy the only product that fits in size, but choose the model that suits them.

Lush ladies, of course, should not choose too large a print or an overly short coat, so as not to aggravate the already considerable dimensions, however, a trapezoidal short coat two palms long above the knee can greatly adorn its owner, without restricting her movements. Large ladies who are not afraid of experiments should try on a short coat-poncho or the still unusual, but very fashionable style of a short coat-cape. There is no need to be afraid of an oversized short coat, because, despite its bulkiness, it may well hide even larger volumes of its mistress - perhaps she will not become a graceful deer, but quite an interesting stylish lady.

Looks great on a large woman with a coat-jacket complete with trousers, loose or classic straight ones. If a lady, in addition to curvaceous forms, has a pronounced waist, then a short dressing gown with a wide belt in combination with a pencil skirt and ankle boots will be a good style solution for her.

You can repeat as many as you like that 55 is retirement age, however, with the help of a stylish wardrobe, including fashionable short coats, and spring in the shower, a woman over 50 can look no worse, and sometimes even better, than women of a younger age. Of course, when choosing a short coat, it should be borne in mind that a shocking print or flashy color will most likely cause confusion and, perhaps, will bring you attention, but it is unlikely to be desired. What is good about age over 50 - you can afford to be elegant, and this will not add age, as sometimes happens in youth, but reduce it.

If the figure permits - a short coat-dressing gown with a wide belt. An active lady at the age will look great in a short coat parka.

Pregnancy is a waiting time. The expectant mother at this time should be in high spirits, which stylish outerwear can help her create. The styles of short coats suitable for a woman in such a happy position are quite diverse, the main thing is that they instill in a woman expecting a baby joy with beautiful colors (bright or pastel), carefully protect the figure, protecting it from the cold and wind (it is better to choose a short coat from eco-friendly natural materials) and did not hinder her movements - detachable under the breast, trapezoidal, parkas, ponchos.

Combining a short coat with various options for clothes and shoes is easy and fun:

• a funny youth street look can be chosen by wearing a loose checked coat, a sweater and a short skirt in combination with ankle boots that imitate riding boots;
• the same cage, but in an elegant short coat with a cut-off waist and a pleated skirt will look great in combination with skinny jeans, a turtleneck and high suede boots in one of the tones of the cage;
• always fashionable, but sometimes a little boring "chicken foot" will look much more fun in a fitted short coat with an English collar, if you wear a plain knitted dress with a narrow skirt-inlay under it, rough boots with knitted elements and fluffy headphones - "fusion" style to your services;
• a duffle coat or pea jacket is perfect for loose trousers and boots; as a headdress, you can choose an interesting beret or a molded hat, depending on whether you want to enhance a serious impression or dilute it;
• a trench coat will look great with a classic suit and loafers;
• An A-shaped short coat and a felt beret will help create the image of a Parisian woman, which will be emphasized by a pleated skirt, a long scarf and light boots with flat soles or small heels.
