Women's short coat

To look stylish and elegant even in the rainy off-season is the main task of any self-respecting lady. But the fact is that the solution of this problem becomes much more complicated with the onset of an unstable weather period, when you have to put on warm and very often shapeless things. Salvation in this situation can be a cropped coat.

Coats that are included in the category of shortened ones due to the fact that their floors do not even reach the knees are called by us a simple and already slightly forgotten word - a short coat. There is such a concept in English-speaking countries, where these clothes are simply called "car coat". Be that as it may, the prefix "semi" plays a paramount role here and refers exclusively to the length of the outfit. But styles and models can be completely different.

Later, this model began to be made without a double collar and used as outerwear, both for men and women. In the ladies' wardrobe, this type of coat is still present, although it is not as popular as other types.

But the short coats of the classic and trapezoidal silhouette are now considered the most in demand. Semi-fitted models are also popular, making the figure feminine and sophisticated. Last season, cropped cocoon coats came into fashion, which are still relevant today.

Such a small detail as a hood allows you to make a cropped coat many times warmer. In a coat with a hood, you can not be afraid to jump out into the street in the rain without an umbrella, especially if it is made of water-repellent material, and the hood itself is deep. And the image becomes much nicer and more refined with this small element. Often, the hood and collar of the product are sheathed with natural fur, making outerwear richer and more solid.

Almost all semi-fitted and fitted coat models are complemented with a belt. In the case of its shortened model, the belt plays a corrective role. So, girls with a rectangular silhouette can highlight the waist with a belt and make the figure much more harmonious.The belt can also become a kind of highlight of the image if it is tied in some original way or complemented by a massive buckle. With a belt, the look with a short coat always looks complete.

A short coat with a zipper is much less common than on more classic buttons. Often, sports coat models are complemented with just such a clasp. It is interesting that the snake can be sewn obliquely to the coat, and then the model will resemble the well-known jacket - leather jackets. A piece of fabric in the form of a strap can also hide the fastener. Coat models look quite original, in which the fastener contrasts in color with the shade of the product.

A short coat with a peplum can make even the most boyish figure feminine and seductive. The whole secret is in the pleated piece of fabric, which is sewn to the bottom of the short coat and visually adds volume to the hips. It is interesting that the splendor of the Basque can be different and should be chosen by the girl depending on thinness. The peplum can be multi-layered, complemented by ruffles and even noticeably contrast against the background of the overall shade of the product.

The style, which is very similar in cut to a classic jacket, is very often chosen by business and stylish young ladies. Such a model can be of different lengths, but the absence of a belt, a fitted or straight cut without the slightest hint of a flare and a false collar, which can be double-breasted or single-breasted, make it possible to call such a coat a jacket without the slightest doubt. The fasteners of such a coat, just like a jacket, can be double-breasted or single-breasted. The only difference is that the coat is much warmer and is often complemented by a fur collar.

But this model is designed for a warmer period. A round neckline will not protect your neck from the cold wind, but it will visually make it longer. For a more harmonious look, you can complement such a coat with a stylish scarf or collar. These short coats look best when they are distinguished by a trapezoidal cut.

Wearing things a few sizes larger is a fairly popular trend these days. In the case of outerwear, this trend does not lose its relevance. Short coats that hide the silhouette of the figure behind the abundance of size, but do not make it shapeless, are just as in demand as the more familiar, fitted models. It is worth considering that this style is suitable only for girls with insufficient weight. What other rules should girls know when choosing the right coat style?

In principle, any girl can look great in a short coat, the main thing is to choose the right style and length. In the selection process, you should focus on the features of the figure and growth:

1. For girls with a pear-shaped silhouette, it is important to focus on the shoulders to harmonize the image. A jacket-type short coat with fur collars, cropped models with ruffles, chest pockets, voluminous collars - collars and stands - an ideal option for them.
2. Ladies with an inverted triangle figure need an emphasis on the hips. That is why the peplum short coat models are created especially for them. Another good option is a coat with voluminous patch pockets around the hips. It is worth considering that the top of the coat in this case should be as concise as possible.
3. For girls of a rectangular silhouette, it is better to choose a short coat with a trapezoidal cut with a belt.Models with an asymmetrical hem will also look very harmonious. It is better to refuse the tight-fitting silhouette of the classic.
4. Absolutely any style is suitable for girls with an hourglass silhouette, but in this case it is better to pay attention to the length of the coat and your own height. It is better for petite young ladies to choose models just below the hips and a straight cut, and for stately girls - a coat to the knee or a little higher and fitted.

But fashion designers advise young ladies this season to pay attention only to certain coat models. Regarding the shades, we can say that it is better to choose light ones - lilac, pale blue, lemon, white, gray and pink, bright ones - burgundy and red, as well as dark ones - blue, light brown and purple. Lovers of the classic range can choose black and beige shades, and those who want to stand out from the crowd - emerald and khaki. The most popular patterns now are checkered, floral, striped and ethnic, but I would like to dwell on the styles in more detail.

This asymmetrical short coat will definitely set you apart from the crowd and add elegance. It is not for nothing that queens from the most ancient times loved to wear dresses with a train. Such a coat will also become an ideal figure corrector - it will help to hide massive hips without hiding slender legs.It is interesting that the hem of the coat can be straight, semicircular or even triangular, but it is this model that will be a real find for young ladies with a not quite standard silhouette.

The true purpose of such a style is only given out by a dense overcoat fabric. The length of such a short coat in most cases does not even reach the hips and the cut is more like a long-sleeved bolero or a stylish jacket. Quite often, such coat models are complemented by a belt. They are used more as a good windbreaker, which still does not protect from the cold in the colder autumn and winter seasons.

Such a short coat model is not suitable for a casual look. It was created for a special occasion and this is observed in everything from the delicate texture of the fabric to the romantic decor and pastel shade. This type of short coat is used as a cape on a wedding dress in the cold season. They are sewn mainly from cashmere, fur and viscose, since these materials are the softest to the touch. Decorative elements can be lace, silk or fur.

Outerwear in military style has now gained extraordinary popularity. A strict and concise cut, a complete lack of decor, thoughtfulness of small details - this is what distinguishes a military-style coat. Its length does not reach the knee, and the fasteners are double-breasted. But there are also several unique elements that are unique to this style - themed stripes in the form of shoulder straps and lapels on the sleeves, as an echo of the war. Often, such models are complemented by a rough leather strap or belt - twine.

Such a short coat can make your image as romantic and even naive as possible.This is because the hem of the short coat is formed with a wide ruffle, more like a skirt. The rest of the short coat may not differ much from the classic one, but it is this small detail that plays a primary role in the image. Typically, these coats are distinguished by delicate and romantic shades - white, beige, pink, peach.

Fashion is cyclical and changeable, so if today in fashion boutiques you find a model of clothing that yesterday was considered a relic of the past, do not be surprised. Fashion designers advise not to be particularly surprised this fall, because the short coat from the 60s is back on the fashion stage again. A straight and laconic cut that can sit slightly loose on the figure is the main feature of this style. The decor is minimal, the texture is dense, but pleasant, the silhouette is strict - these are distinctive elements that have become trendy again.

A shortened coat is beautiful in that it allows you not to hide slender legs from everyone's eyes. So when choosing a harmonious combination with a short coat, it is necessary to expose this particular part of the body in a favorable light. What elements of the wardrobe are better to complement a short coat?

Preferably skinny skinny or jeans, but you can also choose a classic model of trousers with an arrow. In this case, it is better to forget about trousers that are too wide and flared from the hip.

It can be any narrow skirt of a classic cut - a case or a pencil. It is desirable that the waist of such skirts be too high, otherwise the silhouette will not look very beautiful. A straight skirt to the floor will also be appropriate in an image with a short coat, especially if it is too short.

It is better that it is long enough and does not create the effect of a miniskirt, making the image vulgar.Any dress will fit under a too short short coat model, but you need to remember that it should be narrow, not flared.

They can be absolutely anything, but fashion experts advise in this case to follow one rule: the edges of a blouse or sweater should not peek out from under the coat. In extreme cases, it is better to tuck them into trousers or a skirt.

But shoes should be selected not so much under a short coat, but under those elements of clothing that are worn on the legs. It is worth considering right away that fashion designers are now not advised to wear high boots with jeans. With what is it better to combine a short coat this season?

They will fit perfectly into the image if you combine a short coat with classic trousers. It is better to complement the image with the same shoes in the case of a combination of a short coat with a floor-length skirt. It is important that the color of the shoes is harmoniously combined in shade with a coat or some small detail - a scarf, a bag.

Suitable only in combination with a short skirt or dress. Classic models of skirts can also be supplemented with boots. But boots look best in this combination. It is worth considering that the length of the short coat itself in this case does not matter.

The best option for a casual look with a pea coat and skinny jeans. These shoes also go well with leggings, but remember that sneakers can only be worn with sports short coats.

Your image will become truly fashionable when you complement it with the right headdress.

Berets, knitted hats and even caps go well with a short coat, if we are talking about military. Some women of fashion use scarves - collars as headwear, which is also appropriate.You can look quite stylish in a short coat if you tie a silk scarf around your head.
