Wrap coat - the leader of fashion shows
Fashion designers have developed many styles of coats, but most of them fit well only on a figure that is close to ideal. And only a wrap coat can be called a universal option, because this model can favorably emphasize the merits of any silhouette.
This season, this style has also taken a leading position in fashion shows. Hugo Boss, Damir Doma, Tome, Sportmax - this is an incomplete list of brands that presented elegant wrap coats in their new collections. What are the features of the fashionable style today and what modern fashionistas should know about.
Peculiarities
The main distinguishing features of the wrap coat have always been the belt, the absence of buttons and the V-shaped neckline. In terms of cut, this style is very much like traditional Japanese clothing - kimono. Often such a model is simply called a coat-robe.
A wrap coat is distinguished among others by its practicality, because here you do not have to fasten a large number of buttons. Another advantage is that due to the V-shaped neckline, the silhouette visually looks more elongated and refined.
Who is suitable and how to choose
It is because of this small feature that even young ladies with the most unusual figure can wear a wrap coat. The belt in such models is always tightened at the waist, making the silhouette more refined, and if the girl has a noticeable tummy, it hides perfectly.
This model is also suitable for short girls, especially if you choose a coat with a catchy print. Girls with large breasts will be able to emphasize their main dignity with the help of a neckline. But a wrap coat can also be different and there are some features that girls should consider when choosing this style:
1. People with lush hips should opt for flared models and knee-length styles.
2. Models with massive belts are suitable for girls with small breasts, which will distract attention from the bulky top.
But who should refuse this model is the fragile and broad-shouldered young ladies. The fact is that the V-shaped neckline will only draw attention to the problem area.
Popular styles
This season there is a special demand for coats with fur trim, so the designers decided that the wrap coat should not be deprived in this sense. The style with ¾ sleeves is at the peak of popularity, which is in the hands of girls, because it can be supplemented with both a long-sleeve jacket in demi-season and high gloves in colder seasons.
Double-breasted models do not leave the fashion scene and, in combination with a belt, look very elegant and feminine. It is interesting that the belt of such coats can be either identical in color with the product, or contrast against its background. What models are still popular?
No buttons
It is not uncommon for wrap-around coats to have a small button at the collar to keep it wrapped up, but the classic model always comes without buttons. It is interesting that such a model often comes with a wide belt. You can wear such a coat even without a belt, which will be appropriate in a warmer period.
For a change, you can only lightly tie a belt at the waist to create a more relaxed look. If the belt is metal or with some original buckle, the look will immediately take on an extraordinary look.
Unlined
The wrap coat model can go both lined and unlined. The second option is lighter and suitable for an unpredictable off-season. Such models often come with a thin belt and can be worn even when unbuttoned. The coats of that plan are mostly plain, but there are also models with a pattern.
With belt
The belt is an integral part of the wrap coat, but with the help of this detail, designers can bring some zest to each individual model. For example, when a milk-colored coat is complemented by a brown belt and has the same color trim along the edges of the collar, or the belt just goes fur, as an addition to the same collar.
Hooded
The model with a hood is the most practical, because it allows you to feel confident even in the most unpredictable weather conditions. It is the hood that will help protect your head from the rain, and your ears from the wind. If the hood is lined, it can also become an excellent warming detail in winter.
Collarless
This coat model is the most original, as the cut looks more like an elongated cape or cardigan.This option is ideal for girls with a not very long neck, as well as persons who want to focus on the features of their silhouette. It is worth considering that such a model is not very suitable for a cold autumn and even more so winter period, because it does not protect the chin line and neck from the wind at all.
materials
Modern manufacturers use a wide variety of fabrics for sewing coats. The most popular materials are cashmere, drape, tweed, wool and viscose. A touch of exclusivity is added to the fashion range by knitted wrap coats. Even leather can be used for tailoring, but only as a finish. But in the fashion season 2016-2017, designers are advised to pay attention to the next coat model.
from loden
A subspecies of woolen fabric made by felting is called loden. Outwardly, this material looks like a durable cloth and is ideal for sewing coats. The main feature of this material is that it has incredible softness with extraordinary strength. Interestingly, this material is also water-repellent, which is why it is often compared to felt. The windproofness of this material also makes it a valuable raw material for sewing coats.
Actual colors
The latest collections of eminent designers were mainly presented in purple, gray, pink and red colors. Fashion designers diluted the monotony of models with interesting prints, including floral, geometric and checkered ones. More extraordinary styles were distinguished by multi-colored striped patterns.
Length
Regarding the length, we can say that the wrap coat can be different in this regard.There are also completely shortened models to the middle of the thigh, which are most relevant in the off-season, and below-the-knee styles that make the look elegant, and elongated models that are warm and even long.
How and with what to wear
According to experts, a wrap coat can be combined with the basic elements of the wardrobe. It is ideal for regular jeans, dress pants and cropped pants. This model can be combined with knitted blouses and tight-fitting sweaters. This model will look good with dresses. Since such coat models are rarely supplemented with decorative elements, diversity can be added to the image by tying a belt in an original way.
Shoes and accessories
Elongated boots are best suited under a wrap coat. In the warm season, you can complement the look with classic pumps to match the coat. But it is better to refuse sports shoes in this case. In combination with a coat - a kimono harmoniously looks like a small handbag or clutch.
Stylish images
Truly stylish ladies complement the model of a wrap coat with scarves made of the same material and the same gloves. Even a stylish hat can serve as a headdress.
