Double-breasted coat is always in fashion

Today there are many styles of women's coats: some of them go out of fashion and become relevant again, and some are always in demand as classics. The coat model that is rightfully timeless in the fashion world is the double-breasted one, and for good reason.

The fact is that this style has become known since the First World War and was originally created exclusively for male soldiers.

A coat that perfectly protects against cold and piercing wind due to its deep smell was also chosen by women, but much later - already in the 20th century.

The first model of a women's coat was made in Ulster from coarse fabric and had a detachable hood. It was sewn according to the military style, which is now commonly called military, and was distinguished by the absence of decor. Modern styles of double-breasted coats are much richer in decor, appearance, and cut.

A double-breasted coat is usually called a coat that has a wide flap in the front with buttons or buttons located on it in two rows.

Interestingly, in most modern models, only the last row of fasteners is functioning, while the second row plays a decorative role. But if you wish, you can also find models in which both rows of buttons are working. You can fasten such a coat both on one side and on the other side. The collar in such models is usually laid on.

Unlike a double-breasted coat, a single-breasted coat has a narrow flap and one row of fasteners that can be sewn in the form of buttons or buttons. These coats are fastened, respectively, only on one side.

In the traditional version, a single-breasted coat has only three buttons, while in a double-breasted coat, the number of fasteners in one row can reach up to five or even ten pieces. There are also models of single-breasted coats with valves, when a number of fasteners are completely covered with a piece of fabric.

The main advantage of a double-breasted coat is that it is always relevant and looks expensive. A girl who has chosen a coat of this cut always emphasizes her elegance and convinces everyone of her taste. A coat of such a plan would be appropriate, both in everyday and in a business image.

Regardless of which coat model will be chosen by the young lady, the presence of a large number of large buttons will bring some zest and originality to her image.

Experts advise choosing double-breasted coats exclusively for thin young ladies, and this is due to the fact that a wide placket with two rows of buttons visually adds volume to the silhouette.

But even if your figure is far from model standards, you can afford to wear this style if you choose the right model:

1. On girls with massive hips, a double-breasted coat model in the form of a cocoon with a massive collar will look good. A free cut will allow you to visually balance the parameters of the silhouette, and divert attention from shortcomings.
2. Young ladies with a rectangular silhouette can choose such a model, but only if it is complemented by a peplum and noticeable decorative elements.
3. Girls with short legs in relation to the body can choose a slightly flared model of a double-breasted coat that is mid-thigh long.

Fashion season 2016 - 2017 is marked by a variety of double-breasted models of women's coats.

• Classic shades of black, brown, sand and beige are diluted with purple, pink, red, blue and lilac tones.

• There are also such styles in which several variants of fabrics and colors are combined at once. The most popular combination is black with white and brown with black.

• The monotony of the model can be diluted with checkered, striped and abstract patterns, but each new model has unique features.

A coat of this kind is distinguished by a shortened length and a slightly fitted silhouette. In terms of cut, the model of such a double-breasted coat is more reminiscent of a military overcoat, which became especially in demand in the post-war years.

The stand-up collar and the stiffness of the texture are another distinguishing feature of the military.Usually such coats are sewn from coarse wool and are complemented by large metal buttons of a golden hue.

Large sewn-in pockets that are placed at chest level or on the sides are an indispensable part of a military-style coat.

A double-breasted coat with a classic cut is the most versatile and in demand in fashion circles. From above, such coats are always slightly fitted, and the lower part of the product has a flared shape.

These double-breasted coats are ideal for the cold season, especially if they are made from warm materials like virgin wool. The hoods of double-breasted coats are always quite deep, so they perfectly protect the ears from the frosty wind.

The fitted style of a double-breasted coat is always complemented by one important detail - a belt. It can be wide or narrow, have a massive buckle or be tied in a knot, but it always allows you to make the figure more sophisticated and feminine. If the model of a fitted double-breasted coat is classic, then the skirt will be straight, and if not, it may be flared.

Most often, double-breasted coat models come with a collar, but there are models without a collar at all. This coat model is ideal for a warm off-season and often comes with short sleeves.

To give the image more harmony, coats are complemented by silk scarves.Most often, such a model has a straight or slightly fitted cut, but there are also styles with a flared skirt.

In terms of length, fashion designers decided not to limit themselves this season, so in modern stores you can find completely different double-breasted coats in this sense. The longest models can reach the middle of the ankles, while the shorter ones do not reach the knee. Such a variety allows girls to choose the length that is ideal for themselves.

Double-breasted coats up to the middle of the thigh and above are chosen by young and active ladies who are used to always being on the move and do not need additional warming.

Also, shortened coat models are preferred by girls who drive a car on their own - for them this model is more practical.

Coats below the knee length are preferred by respectable ladies who are accustomed to a measured lifestyle and freeze in the cold season.

A double-breasted coat is good because it goes well with different things.

• A leather wide belt with a buckle will be an ideal complement to a brutal look with a model in military style.
• To give an image of severity, you can choose a classic coat model and complement it with a business suit or a sheath dress.
• A flared skirt or dress, as well as a thin belt and a stylish scarf, will help complete the feminine look.

When choosing shoes suitable for the image, you should focus on the features of the cut of the coat.

• If it is distinguished by the severity and conciseness of a military style, it is better to complement the image with soldier's boots or ankle boots with a free top.
• The elegance of a classic coat is best emphasized by shoes - pumps with heels or ankle boots.
• The femininity of the image can be emphasized with low-speed shoes.

A headdress for a double-breasted coat should be chosen carefully, because usually such a model is not complemented by it. The best choice would be a beret or a loose-fitting hat.

1. A truly stylish look in military style will help to make a shoulder bag, which will add some zest to the overall picture.
2. The severity of the classic style will be emphasized by a handbag.
3. A clutch will bring femininity.
