Stylish women's quilted coat
Among the huge variety of types of outerwear, the fair sex is increasingly choosing a coat. This is not strange, because such a model is not only warm, but also stylish.
Textured lines give originality to the product. The coat models themselves can be completely different both in style and in color. What are the features of the now fashionable quilted coat, to whom it suits and what young ladies should know about fashion trends.
Peculiarities
A quilted coat, like other warm products, consists of three layers. The first layer is close to the body, can be made of fleece, wool, raincoat fabric or any other material and is called lining.
The second layer is a heater, on the quality of which the thermal insulation characteristics of the product depend.
The third layer is the outer one and it is the most original. A huge number of diagonal seams, crossed with each other, plays not only a decorative, but also a practical role, because this makes the product more durable, lighter and warmer.
Interestingly, the stitches can look completely different. Models in the style of Coco Chanel are distinguished by even diamond-shaped stitches, but there are also curly stitches that give the product elegance.The line can be both frequent and very rare, but the main role here is played by the fabric. If this is a harvester, then the lines give it a neater look, and if it is a regular smooth material, then refinement and unusualness.
Who will suit
There is an opinion that a quilted coat is ideal only for graceful and slender girls, but this is not entirely true. Of paramount importance in this case is the style of the coat and the accessories that come with it:
1. For short girls, it is better to choose a knee-length coat model with noticeable details in the neckline and preferably with a belt.
2. Girls with a curvaceous figure are ideally suited for flared pieces, which are complemented by a belt.
3. Straight-cut coats are contraindicated for young ladies of a rectangular silhouette, but flared ones are ideal.
4. For girls with broad shoulders, it is better to choose coats with slits that visually make the silhouette more proportional, as well as models with a closed neck.
But for owners of too lush bust, it is better to avoid voluminous sleeves, which can add extra to the silhouette.
fashion styles
Actual quilted styles of 2016-2017 amaze with a variety of colors, details and cuts. Modern designers are trying to sew quilted models by combining different materials and patterns.
Quilted styles are decorated with leather inserts, fur, denim, tweed, suede. They are made on buttons and snakes, with and without valves. Oversized quilted models have gained particular popularity now, which look like they do not fit the hostess in size, but this is not the whole list of popular styles.
Hooded
The best option for a harsh winter is a quilted jacket with a hood, and especially if it is trimmed with natural fur.The fact is that the stitch, which captures the layers of fabric, has an insulating effect from the cold, and the hood additionally warms the body. Some models of such coats come with a detachable hood. This makes the model more versatile. The hood in most cases is also made quilted.
Lung
Short quilted coats like jackets can be called light. These jackets can go without insulation and are ideal for the off-season. A universal model of this type can be called a knee-length jacket. The hood in such models is almost always absent. These jackets provide excellent wind protection. Often light coats are made of thin leather.
Fitted
Models with a fitted silhouette belt are chosen by girls most often, and all because they fit perfectly on almost any figure. In such a coat, the girl will always look feminine and sophisticated. A retro model that has now returned to the fashion scene again - fitted with a flared bottom. This season, military-style quilted fitted coats have become especially popular. Khaki print can be of different colors and allows you to experiment with the image.
insulated
A coat with good insulation often looks like a simple down jacket. If the insulated quilted coat also has a rather impressive length, it can perfectly protect from the cold even in the most severe frosts. Real fur trim on the cuffs and hood can transform any casual look into an incredibly chic one.
off-season
A quilted coat, designed specifically for the off-season, is usually always shortened and comes with a little insulation.Fur trim on such models is also rarely used, but they can diversify the appearance of the style with a combination of several types of fabric and stitch types. So, one part of the down jacket can be sewn from the harvester fabric, and the second part from a smoother and shinier material.
High collar
A quilted coat with a high collar is ideal for those who are not very fond of scarves. Such a model not only perfectly protects the neck from the cold, but also radically transforms the image, making it stylish and incredibly elegant. Fashion experts advise girls with short necks to choose models with high collars.
Cocoon
The quilted cocoon coat model is incredibly popular this season, and all because it is unusual. This model is distinguished by an unusual shape of the shoulder, long sleeves and low side pockets.
Materials and finishes
Quilted coats are unusually varied in their appearance, but they always use a certain type of synthetic material for their tailoring. It can be nylon, polyester or any other type of synthetic fabric. Batting, goose or duck down, as well as synthetic winterizer can serve as a warming filler. Often used and non-woven materials from fibers connected by weaving, called holofiber. But I would like to talk separately about the materials from which the coat is trimmed.
From raincoat fabric
Raincoat fabric is known for its water repellency, so it's not surprising that it serves as the perfect combination with other synthetic fabrics on coats.By itself, this fabric is nothing more than a thin cotton fabric and when combined with synthetic materials, it turns the coat into an ideal model for the beach season. Raincoat fabric can also be combined with natural fabrics such as linen, turning the quilted coat model into a stylish and fashionable spring trend.
Quilted fabric
The quilted fabric is two pieces of fabric stitched through, between which a heater like batting is placed. This model is a quilted coat in its classic sense. Interestingly, in addition to straight lines, quilted coat models may have curly lines. A rectangular, square and even round pattern can form on the canvas.
Bologna
Bologna is another water-repellent fabric perfect for coats. The acrylic-containing composition with which this material is processed gives the fabric airtight properties, which reduces its hygienic properties, but increases thermal insulation. Interestingly, bologna coats, despite their tightness, are light and are advised to be worn at a temperature of at least 5 C below zero. But from the wind, this material protects the body perfectly.
With mink
In the fashion season 2016 - 2017, coats with fur trim have gained particular popularity. If mink is used as a finishing material, the coat looks rich and warm. Most often, mink fur is dyed black, which is in harmony with any shades. But there are models with mink painted in brighter colors. Not only cuffs and hoods, but also collars can be trimmed with fur.
Faux fur
The most demanded option for a quilted coat, as it is the most budgetary. Finishing from this material is also chosen by those who fight for animal rights. The material itself is nothing more than a synthetic fiber that mimics natural. From the cold, it protects much worse than natural, but it looks pretty good.
Actual colors
In terms of colors, fashion experts decided not to limit the girls this season, so the designers slightly diversified the classic range of quilted coats. Now the models that were created mainly in black, gray and beige tones have become emerald green and metallic. Noble brown has become a salvation for those who are not used to standing out from the crowd. A snow-white shade is also in trend, which, despite its soiling, always transforms the image, making it more solemn and stylish. What other shade of coat is at the peak of popularity?
Blue
This shade is included in the category of classic, but is not as boring and banal as black. It is chosen mainly by restrained and conservative natures, who, although they really like the classics, are already a little fed up. Pair a blue quilted coat with a classic outfit for a classy and classy look. The advantage is that this shade is not easily soiled and has a rich color range. If desired, you can diversify the image by choosing a coat of azure or sky blue.
Red
A coat of a bright red hue can only be chosen by a lady who is confident in herself. In combination with a quilted texture, this shade looks even more vivid and impressive. Often, these models are complemented with trims made of fabrics of silver and golden color.
purple
A cold shade that only extraordinary natures tend to choose. This coat always looks attractive and blends perfectly with almost all elements of the winter wardrobe.
Length
With the length, fashion experts also do not limit, but every self-respecting fashionista should understand that the length of the coat should be chosen, not so much focusing on appearance, but on convenience. If you are an active person who is constantly on the move, choosing a long coat would be inappropriate, but a short one is just right. But the most trendy long is still the one that reaches the middle of the ankle. What is the difference between different types of models?
Long
Such a coat can reach the ankles or even be on the floor. Styles in addition to the original lines are not particularly different. Only small decorative elements in the form of fur or fabric trim may be allowed.
shortened
Such models usually do not reach the knee in length and are ideal for the off-season period. They will be the perfect addition to your everyday look because they are comfortable and practical. The cut may resemble quilted jackets or raincoats.
How and with what to wear
The quilted version of the coat can be called almost universal, because it goes well with many elements of the wardrobe. When choosing the perfect clothing combination, it is advised to focus on the style of the coat. A pencil skirt will look great with a straight cut model, and a flared barrel with a fitted model. Leather coats with stitching can be combined with cocktail dresses, and with classic styles - wide trousers. It is better to complement shortened models with leggings or classic jeans, but you can wear any sweaters under all quilted models.
Shoes and accessories
Shoes for quilted coat models should be selected with great care. Under a straight-cut coat, suede or leather boots are ideal, but high and wedges. More feminine and fitted models should be combined exclusively with shoes with heels. Shortened coat models can be complemented with low-speed shoes. A bag for a quilted coat will suit any shape, but the main thing is that it should be combined in texture with other elements of clothing.
Stylish images
Elegant and very original elements - quilted gloves and belts - will help to make the image truly stylish. The first element is almost always attached to the model, but the second one should be looked for separately. It is worth considering that it is not at all necessary to combine these elements by color, it is only important that they look harmonious in the overall combination.
Manufacturer analysis
Modern consumers have long noticed that the manufacturer plays a primary role in the quality and cost of clothing. Because of this, the choice of a quality product is often complicated, because, as practice shows, you can choose a quality model from a well-known brand and pay fabulous money for the “name”, or you can choose an equally high-quality model from a less well-known manufacturer and it will cost several times cheaper. Because of this, I would like to make a small review.
Joint production Russia-Italy
Quilted models of V.Art coats are bright representatives of joint cooperation. Demi-season models from this brand will cost girls an average of 3400 thousand rubles, and for more insulated ones you will have to pay from 6800 rubles. In the lineup there are mostly colorful coats and judging by the reviews, they are of very high quality.
Italy
For exclusive models of Italian quilted coats, which are sewn from high-quality expensive fabrics, young ladies will have to pay from 30 to 70 thousand rubles, and for more simplified ones - from 17 thousand rubles. Models from this manufacturer are always strict.
Finland
Finnish manufacturers use not very expensive, but high-quality fabrics to create coats, so you can pay about 12 thousand rubles for a good coat. The design of such coats is always very standard.
Germany
Outerwear of German quality is famous all over the world and quilted coats are no exception. For a warm model from a German manufacturer, you will have to pay at least 14 thousand rubles.
Turkey
Turkish manufacturers will delight fashionistas with colorful styles of quilted coats of acceptable quality, but they will have to pay at least 12,000 rubles for them.
