French jacket

French - a double-breasted fitted jacket with a turn-down or stand-up collar, large patch pockets on the chest and hips and an adjustable cuff width. The French jacket was invented and successfully distributed in the army by the British General John French, in whose honor it was named.

French is a classic men's jacket. If the jacket is chosen correctly, it hides minor figure flaws, emphasizing its harmony. One caveat - men with a short neck should be careful when choosing a jacket with a stand-up collar, but it is better to refuse it. The collar is one of the highlights of a French jacket. With the help of an additional button, the soft collar rose, protecting the neck from the cold, but not interfering with its movements.

Having decided on the length of the shoulder, fasten the jacket on one of the buttons. At the same time, the outer floor of the jacket should cover the inner one where the buttons are not fastened. If this effect cannot be achieved, it is worth looking at a larger model. Buttons should be easy to fasten. When buttoned, the jacket should be even, without wrinkles or folds.

The French jacket has undergone many modifications in the 20th, and already in the 21st century, and today it can complement any image - solemn, official business and even casual, depending on the material, color, style and combination with other clothes. The jacket looks most successful with trousers of the same shade, jeans, collarless shirts, t-shirts, sneakers and shoes.

Since emancipation began its victorious march around the world, women have won not only seats in the Duma, but also various details of clothing from men. A French jacket is a vivid confirmation of this.

Women's jacket models have undergone even more significant changes than men's. When moving from a men's wardrobe to a women's wardrobe, the jacket was adapted to the female figure - shortened, made already in the shoulders and created an emphasis on the waist. Designers skillfully set off the tenderness and sexuality of the female image with "rough" military clothing.

This spring, couturiers have focused on materials - classic glossy leather or leather with fine embossing, suede, cashmere or fine wool. Vivienne Westwood was not afraid to use even velvet in her collection, giving the image a discreet chic. Various variations of lengths are also considered: from the classic "to the middle of the thigh" to elongated models and raincoats.

The color also helps to emphasize the femininity of the image: in addition to the classic gray for a French jacket, deep and rich shades of jackets are in fashion. A deep burgundy leather jacket is the hit of the season. For women of short stature, a wonderful solution is a jacket with ¾ sleeves. This is not only surprisingly convenient, but also allows you to visually adjust the figure - "shorten" the arms and focus on the lower part.

The uniqueness of the jacket is that, depending on the effect you want to achieve, it can be combined with almost anything.

Perfect for any style - a black jacket jacket. It looks flawless with a light colorful dress and classic trousers. An interesting combination with shorts designed in the same style with a jacket. When choosing shoes, stop at feminine heels or daring lace-up boots.

Unusually popular in the summer and autumn of 2016 is a light casual denim raincoat. If you want to look stylish in a denim raincoat, don't be afraid to experiment. What you should pay attention to:

1. Choose bright colors.
2. Add inserts from different materials (for example, leather "patches" on the elbows)
3. Accentuate your waist with an interesting belt.
4. Don't forget the short sleeves.
5. Do-it-yourself embroidery or applique will make your raincoat a real work of art.

Perhaps all these rules are suitable not only for a denim raincoat, but also for any jacket-jacket. The most important thing is to find your individual image and don't be afraid to show it to the world.
