Women's youth coat - trends in 2022
Modern youth strives to look extraordinary and original, so they usually do not choose classic models of outerwear. She prefers stylish, but practical things that are combined with all the elements of the wardrobe and allow you to feel free during active movements.
Designers take this fact into account and replenish their collections with interesting models of youth coats every season. Their main feature is the absence of frills in the decor and thoughtfulness in the cut elements. It is interesting that only new generation coats differ in such characteristics, but if you look into history, you can see a completely different picture.
A bit of history
The first models of women's coats appeared in the distant 18th century and only rider girls preferred to wear them. These were redingots, more like elongated jackets with a double collar and a through fastener.
Until the middle of the 19th century, the coats looked more like cropped capes and jackets, because the dresses of that time were distinguished by a too flared skirt and girls simply could not wear anything more authentic. When the skirts took on a more narrowed look, long coats called ulster and a pea jacket, sewn in the style of men, came into fashion.
In the 20th century, coat styles took on a more feminine and modern look, and in fashionable use, now-famous words began to be used, denoting a cut - fitted, straight and trapezoidal. In the same period, shortened coat models for youth appeared - kimonos.
During the First World War, not now unknown military-style trench coats came into fashion, but after the end of the war - elongated straight and fitted models. Then they were still baggy.
At the age of 30, asymmetrical cut coats become especially popular, but already those that emphasize the sophistication and grace of the figure. Sleeves are shortened to ¾ length. During the Second World War, women wear classic hooded duffle coats, and when the war ends, fitted coats with a flared skirt.
At the age of 50, young people striving to stand out from the crowd begin to wear cocoon coats and square coats. In the 60s, the style of the coat was shortened to the maximum possible limits at that time, and in the 70s coats became popular - capes like a poncho.
In the 80s, women's coats become quite bulky, they are distinguished by wide shoulders, which are given additional volume with the help of shoulder pads. In the 90s, negligence comes into fashion, and coats gradually fade into the background.
Today, coats are back in fashion and their range is so diverse that a young lady of any age can find a model to her liking. But what models can now be called youth?

Popular styles and models
Three types of coat models are now considered the most popular among young people: trapezoidal, fitted and baggy. Young ladies who are used to shocking the public often choose oversized and masculine models.An obligatory element of any youth model are pockets, which can be located in the chest or hips. Elegant coat models of this type are complemented by spectacular cuts. What other models can be considered modern?
Hooded
It is these coats that are the most comfortable, and therefore are chosen by young people most often. The hood allows you to feel comfortable in any weather, because with its help you can easily cover your head from rain or snow. Such a detail is especially relevant for girls who do not like to carry heavy umbrellas with them for fear that it will rain. In addition, the hood is often trimmed with fur to warm the model and give it more sophistication, and if desired, it can be easily unfastened, turning it into a lighter garment.
On a synthetic winterizer
This coat model is suitable for the cold period, and is chosen by young people because of its practicality. The synthetic winterizer, unlike natural fur, does not stray, weighs little, and against this background it also has excellent thermal insulation properties. In addition, a coat on a synthetic winterizer is completely unpretentious in care.
direct
Coats of a straight cut are most often chosen by young ladies who can boast of the ideal proportions of the silhouette. Due to the fact that this clothing fits the silhouette well, all the advantages of the figure are put on display. One of the most popular options for a coat of this cut is military.
Length
Modern youth take the length of their clothes very seriously. Everything that goes far beyond the knee is considered terribly old-fashioned and out of date. Moreover, such an opinion does not disappear even when it comes to not light skirts and dresses, but insulated outerwear.That is why modern designers prefer to create youth coats in two variations.
Long
This is a coat, the floors of which slightly go over the knee or reach its middle. The skirt of such models can be flared and look more like a dress in cut. There are also models with a straight skirt, as in the version of the cocoon coat. Styles with a too tight skirt are complemented by slits to make the model more comfortable and add charm to the image.
A short
A coat that reaches the hip in length, its middle or does not reach the knee is classified as short. This length allows you to best emphasize the slender legs of the young lady and should be chosen only in situations where the girl really has something to brag about. Coats of the shortest length can be used as windbreakers.
materials
Coats that combine several types of fabric at once are considered the most fashionable among young people. It can be leather and suede, fur and textiles, wool and knitwear. Models for teenagers can be complemented with fabric applications, beads, an abundance of buttons or various kinds of stripes. Knitted coat models are sewn mainly from wool yarn with the addition of synthetic fibers. When using one or another material for sewing a coat, designers are guided primarily by the purpose of the coat.
Varieties
According to the level of warmth, all types of coats can be divided into four types: winter, autumn, spring and demi-season. An obligatory element of a winter coat is fur trim and high-quality insulation. Autumn models are usually made of water-repellent fabrics, they must be supplemented with a hood and light insulation. Spring models are made without insulation at all.Demi-season ones are usually made of lightweight materials and supplemented with a membrane that allows the body to maintain optimal temperature conditions.
Colors
Usually, young people gravitate toward bright and colorful shades, but this season, designers are advised to opt for discreet and concise colors. The pastel range is the most relevant, so peach, beige and caramel tones are held in high esteem. For young ladies who cannot live without an abundance of colors, emerald, scarlet, yellow, orange and turquoise colors are appropriate. Gold gamma will be the best choice during the rainy autumn. Classic shades will always be fashionable, so if despite your youth you are a conservative, choose them.
What to wear
Designers advise choosing clothes for a coat, taking into account its shade. For outerwear in light shades, bright jeans, classic skirts and ankle boots are ideal. Under the darker shades of the coat, it is better to choose a dress that will be in harmony with the shade of tights and ankle boots. Coats of warm shades can be complemented with a skirt or trousers in dark colors, and shades of cold tones will have to be supplemented with scarves and shawls.
Beautiful and stylish images
The best addition to the youth image will be the right bag. With short coat models, a backpack is best combined, and with more elongated ones, a shapeless bag-bag. Please note that combining this accessory with shoes is now considered bad form. It is better to complement the image with a stylish scarf or hat to match the coat. Sunglasses will become a stylish accessory in sunny weather, regardless of the season.
