Women's sports coat
It is very difficult for girls who are used to wearing the most comfortable and practical clothes to immediately refuse it. But things in a sporty style are always quite monotonous and practically do not allow you to play with the image. And young ladies are known for their changeable insistence, so it’s not at all strange if one day, a girl who always wore sports jackets wants to diversify her image with a coat.
Modern designers have taken care of the comfort of active lifestyle fans and created a coat in a sporty style. It sounds very unusual, but this model has a whole host of nice features.
Peculiarities
To date, there are four options for sports coats, each of which has its own characteristics:
- Duffle coat - a traditional coat of English tailoring in a sporty version, it has a free cut and a shortened length. From the classics there were only massive buttons with hinged eyelets and a hood. Beige, black and navy blue, which is usually seen in standard models, can be diluted with brighter shades in a sporty look.
- Pea coat - a sporty version of such a coat has been known to fashionable society since the 60s. Fitted at the hips for a relaxed fit, it features slanted pockets and embellished sleeves.
- Military - the classic coat model was originally a uniform for the military, therefore it is distinguished by rigor and conciseness. In the sports version of the military, double-breasted fasteners, shoulder straps and lapels still remain, but the collar may or may not be present.
- Downy - the winter version of a sports coat looks like a down jacket and can differ in both a free cut and a fitted one. On some models, decorative stitching may be present, which is the trend of the season.
It is worth considering that the coat itself is a rather capricious attire and, if chosen incorrectly, can expose the most unfavorable features of the figure.
Who will suit
A sports coat is a versatile option that is ideal for almost everyone. In the case of a duffle coat, a pea jacket and a military one, you need to remember that these are very strict models that look good only on a good figure. If the parameters exceed the ideal standards, you need to opt for models by the type of down jacket. Too thin persons can add volume in certain areas of the silhouette with the help of voluminous pockets and massive decorative elements.
Fashion trends
In the fashion season 2016-2017, designers decided to play with the shades and design of sports coats. The duffle coat in bright red, light green, swamp, brown, yellow, blue and pink is in fashion now. The most popular model is a double-breasted pea jacket with a turn-down collar and sewn-in flap pockets. The fashionable style of a military coat has several features: a loose or fitted cut, leather inserts, a stand-up collar, a belt with a massive buckle and, of course, an average length.They decided to make quilted down coats as original as possible and attach metal rivets at the junctions of the lines.
What to wear
Sports coats are good because they go well with almost all elements of the wardrobe. Flared and tight pants, warm sweaters and cardigans, cropped models of warm dresses and skirts - all this is appropriate in the case of this attire. A girl can indulge in the pleasure of wearing loose shirts under an unbuttoned sports model: duffle coat, military or pea jacket. A knitted hat, beret or hat can serve as a headdress.
And remember, in order not to seem shapeless in a coat, initially choose a model one size larger, on the basis that a lot of warm clothes will be worn underneath.
What shoes are suitable
Cropped duffle coat models can be combined with ankle boots, sneakers and sneakers. A pea jacket will look best in combination with high boots, and a military coat with classic ankle boots with heels. A downy coat is combined with any winter shoes, whether it is at least flat, even with heels or stilettos. It is interesting that the color of the shoes may not be combined with the shade of the coat at all, but it is important that the image is complemented by some detail in the same shade.
Remember that you should choose shoes based on the heaviness of the coat - the more decorative details, pockets and other elements on it, the more massive the shoes should be and vice versa.
Stylish images
Accessories will help to make an image with a sports coat stylish. A bag or a backpack, fashionable this season, will perfectly fit into a sporty look. Keep in mind that the shorter the coat, the larger the bag should be and vice versa.Leather long gloves will be in perfect harmony with the short sleeves of the coat. But the clutch can be grabbed only when the coat model reaches the middle of the lower leg.
