Test drive: wool coat with wrap. A fashionable coat without buttons will conquer any fashionista.

The content of the article

Fashion designers have come up with a variety of coat models, but most of them fit perfectly only on practically ideal figure. However, a wrap coat can safely be called universal, as it can flatter almost any silhouette.

This style can be found on fashion shows Damir Doma, Hugo Boss, Sportmax and Tome, as well as other brands. Today “Modnaya” will tell you about the features of this style and what it should be worn with.

Peculiarities

A distinctive feature of this style is the belt, V-shaped neckline and complete absence of buttons. This style is very similar in its cut to Japanese traditional clothing - kimono. This model is often called a coat-robe.

A wrap coat is very practical because you don’t have to fasten a lot of buttons. Another advantage is the V-shaped neckline, which will make your look more sophisticated and elongated.

How to choose?

Wrap coat suitable for women with any type of figure. In such models, the belt will always be at the waist, making the silhouette more sophisticated. For young ladies with a protruding tummy, such a coat will help hide it.

This coat is also suitable short girls, especially if it is decorated with an interesting print. For busty young ladies, this style will help emphasize this main advantage with the help of a neckline.

Wrap coats can be different, so girls with different types figures should take this into account when choosing a suitable model.

For girls with wide hips, flared styles and knee-length models are more suitable.

For those with small breasts, models with large belts are suitable, which will divert attention from this problem.

However, such a coat is not suitable for broad-shouldered, thin girls, since its neckline will only draw attention to the problem area.

Popular styles

Coats with fur trim will be especially popular this season, which is why fashion designers also complement wrap coats with such trim.

Also at the peak of popularity is a coat with ¾ sleeves, as it can be worn with long sleeves in the warm season or with long gloves in winter.

Double-breasted models look great with a belt. In this case, the belt can be either the same color as the coat or a contrasting color.

The most popular models this season will be the following:

No buttons. Often, a wrap coat has a button in the collar area that will keep it wrapped, but the classic wrap coat model does not have buttons. Often this model is complemented with a wide belt, but this coat can be worn without a belt at all.

To add variety to your look, you can easily tie a belt around your waist for a more relaxed look.
You can also use a metal belt or a belt with an interesting buckle, which can give you an original look.

No lining. A wrap coat may have a lining or may not have one at all. The unlined model is lighter and suitable for the off-season period. Often such models are complemented with a thin belt, but they can be worn even unbuttoned. These coats are most often plain, but you can also find printed models.

With a belt. A belt is necessarily present in every model of a wrap coat, so fashion designers, with the help of this detail, can add a zest to each model of such a coat. For example, a milky coat can be complemented with a brown belt and trim of the same color or complemented with brown fur.

With a hood. A coat with a hood is the most practical, because in it you will feel confident even in changeable weather. The hood can protect your head from the rain and your ears from the wind. The lined hood will also keep you warm in the cold.

No collar. This model of wrap coat is the most original, because its cut is larger than a cardigan or an elongated cape. This model is ideal for girls who want to draw attention to their silhouette or those who don’t have much long neck. For the cold season, such a coat is not very suitable, since it will not be able to protect the neck and chin from the wind.

Materials

Nowadays, coat manufacturers use a variety of materials to make them. The most popular are cashmere, tweed, drape, viscose and wool. Looks exclusive knitted models wrap coat. Even leather is sometimes used to make coats, however, only for finishing.

I have always liked the way wrap coats (aka coat-robes) look from the outside. Stylish, elegant, but at the same time a little casually chic - in general, a completely universal thing. If you want, wear it with pumps and heeled ankle boots, or with the ubiquitous sneakers and white Converse, and those who like to mix femininity with a drop of rock and roll can wear this coat with choppers. In addition, I was always interested in “implanting” such a coat into our not at all European winter and check its viability. So when Pepen asked me to test out a wool winter wrap coat, I had to agree.

This is what the coat looks like in the Pepen lookbook

About the brand. Pepen is one of the most feminine brands. Its designers use only natural Italian fabrics, focusing on perfect fit, laconic shapes and spectacular color scheme. IN latest collections Pepen you can find a lot of different coats for every taste, both autumn and winter. And honestly, I want to buy each of them ☺

Wool coat - Pepen, RUB 18,990.

Advantages and disadvantages. To be honest, I didn’t find a single negative during the test drive (which, by the way, lasted not two weeks, as usual, but almost a month and a half). When choosing a coat for the experiment, I was a little upset that the collection did not have a coat of my favorite black color, but later I realized that this was for the better. The brand's designers have chosen a really beautiful palette for the coat - each color is beautiful on its own. I chose a coat with a moss-green scent, which suited my eye color and color type in general perfectly.

As soon as I started wearing the tested coat, I had to practically fend off compliments addressed to it and questions about where to buy the same one. But in our case, it was more important to check not so much the beauty as the “frost resistance” of a woolen wrap coat. And here it showed itself in all its glory (no joke).

And like this wool coat with a wrap it looks in everyday life: with skinny jeans and a midi skirt

When I started testing the coat, it was the beginning of December - the temperature rarely dropped below 0...-5 degrees. So I have repeatedly found it too warm (and sometimes too hot - just go into the subway or other room). But immediately after the New Year it became noticeably colder, however, to my surprise, my coat did not become any less warm. It warmed conscientiously even at -15 (provided there was a cashmere sweater underneath). I think that in this wrap coat you can safely go outside even at -20, if you additionally insulate yourself by wearing a thin

Good afternoon, spring is coming, and today we will talk about HOW and WHAT you can and should wear different, different coats in the spring. I have already described which coats are fashionable this spring season in the article. I also told and showed in photographs how to do it correctly. And today we will talk about how to properly, stylishly and beautifully present yourself in a coat. We will analyze everything in great detail - for each piece of advice I have selected an evidence base in the form heaps of photos with the most best examples style.

So that everyone who is looking and searching can find all the answers to questions at once in one place - what and how to wear with a coat. Besides... if you haven’t bought yourself a coat yet, then this article will definitely help you understand EXACTLY WHAT kind of coat you want to buy.

So, let’s dive into the laws of the style of the coat genre.

And we start by understanding with coat different lengths(from shortest to longest).

COAT LENGTH

rules for choosing clothes for coats of different lengths

Short COAT-JACKET

(what to wear with this season)

Short coat (coat that reveals the buttocks) – worn with trousers (narrow and wide), with shorts, jeans, and dresses.

If the coat is very short - that is, it ends just below the waist and almost looks like a small jacket or blazer - then all types of clothing that allow a jacket can also allow this coat into their style set.

A short coat-jacket can be fitted with beautiful finishing elements (pockets, double rows of buttons, drapery along the fastener line, etc.).

Looks beautiful from under the edge short coat the edge of a tunic or blouse peeks out. And if the coat is cut like a mini-jacket, then a tunic just begs to go under it

It’s beautiful to wear this coat-jacket wide open (even double-breasted). Look especially stylish fashion models wide cut made of thick drape.

The laconic cut of a short coat can be complicated with additional accessories - a scarf, or a narrow neck scarf-tie.

How to wear skirts with a short coat. There is one rule for skirts and dresses peeking out from under a short coat - it can be formulated as follows:

E If the cut of the coat is widened towards the bottom, then the skirt should be full.
If the cut of the coat is straight– then the hem of a dress or skirt can be straight. So that harmony is not disturbed.

Only very smart stylists can disrupt harmony. And then, as a rule, their “violation” looks so harmonious that it immediately ceases to be a violation and becomes new rule of harmony.

The most varied footwear under the coat-jacket is also allowed - over the knee boots, boots, ankle boots, shoes.

How to Wear Pants With a Short Coat. A pea coat (a coat that covers the buttocks) can be worn with skinny jeans or trousers (for example, chinos, which are fashionable this season).

Coat UP TO THE MIDDLE OF THE THIGH

(how to wear with shoes and ankle boots).

A coat with a mid-thigh length can and should be worn WITH SHOES. The short length in itself makes the style of the coat lighter - and therefore light shoes are allowed to pair with the coat. Especially if the color of the coat is also light, light.

Always evaluate the visual “heaviness” of the coat. and for this weight, choose shoes of the same “heaviness” as the coat.

The “visual weight” of a coat consists of the following factors: firstly, length; secondly, large elements (collars, lapels, draperies, pockets); thirdly, color (heavy dark colors go worse with light shoes).

If the coat is dark, then light elements of the top (scarf, light bag, blouse, etc.) will help balance it out (toward “lightening”).

You can also visually make the lower part heavier (due to dark trousers, thick tights, a bag that is lower in the hands, and not at the top on the shoulder) - and then the whole image as a whole is balanced (the weight of the bottom and the weight of the top are equalized).

And further… such a long coat also allows SPORTS SHOES. But only if the STYLE is also minimalist and close to a business jacket.

Classic length coat KNEE Length
(style rules for this season).

Classic length coat - knee-length – can be worn with a skirt, trousers and jeans. The style of the coat itself will tell you what goes with it (we will look at the styles a little lower in this same article).
I just want to draw your attention to the fact that The dimensions of the coat should be balanced by the dimensions of the shoes. That is, the more massive the coat looks, the more massive your shoes should be.

Massiveness on the coat is created due to large cut elements(collars, patch pockets) or large design elements(for example, large tartan).

Although the model wide oversized coat, despite its powerful cut dimensions, allows for narrow shoes with thin heels. Here everything needs to be decided individually, your height plays a role, and the color of the coat itself and the clothes under the coat, and accessories - just look in the mirror and ask yourself if there is any preponderance and disharmony here.

Color also affects the visual size of the coat.- dark coats look visually heavier than light coats - and thin legs in tights under a coat as dark as a cloud do not look good - ankle boots, ankle boots and boots are better, and if shoes, then massive ones and paired with trousers or jeans.

But even if you have a dark coat, you can still wear it with shoes if you add a light element to the neck area - for example, a voluminous scarf in a light check.

What to wear with a LONG coat.

A long coat (with a length below the knee, to the middle of the shin and below) is usually worn with boots in cold weather, and part of the top of the boots generously hides the hem of the coat.

But boots at this length are not necessary - ankle boots will do the job perfectly here, in addition to thick leggings, tights, or skinny jeans.

You can also wear a dress with a hem flush with the hem of the coat under such a long coat.

This coat can be worn with shoes (left photo below) - but only if you know how to do it. Subtlety is needed here. The absence of unnecessary finishing details on the coat, the softness of the fabric (so that the coat does not stand like an ax but gracefully flows around you), and shoes should be thick enough (preferably on a platform) to support this coat.

A long coat looks good with classic trousers, semi-sports trousers, and chinos, which are fashionable this season.

This long coat with skinny jeans is also fashionable.

COAT STYLES

style examples for different coat models.

What to wear with STRAIGHT FIT coat.

A straight coat is a classic style. This is the design base from which you can create a touching, fragile image of a woman. Men's straight cut lines only emphasize femininity the one that is wrapped in such an ascetic-straightforward shell.
The length can be different - below the knee, knee-length, to mid-thigh.

Even the most masculine cut lines of a straight coat look good on graceful female figures.

As you can see in the photo below, the STRAIGHT cut of the coat can be worn with anything.

Do you see? And with ankle boots, and with shoes, and with socks, and with knee socks.

A straight coat can be worn just like that (buttoned/unbuttoned) or belted with a belt - fit it unbuttoned, especially under an elegant dress.

Classic FIT coat silhouette.

A fitted silhouette is what is most often looked for when choosing a coat. It is chosen even by those whose life circumstances have stolen their waist. And this is absolutely not their style - for overweight women or pregnant women, we recommend choosing completely different styles (they will be discussed below; these are a straight style with an oversized cut or a rounded cocoon style).

A fitted coat can be worn with skinny jeans and trousers, with a skirt (tapered or fluffy) - with ankle boots, boots, shoes.

You can further emphasize the waist in a coat with a wide belt or a thin belt. It will turn out beautifully if the coat is left unbuttoned.

How to wear a COCOON COAT

(wide and large OVERSIZED silhouette)

Cocoon coat(or OVERSIZED coat) is a “puffy” coat style...loose at the shoulders and slightly tapering at the bottom. With its outline, the oversized coat resembles a slightly wrinkled letter “o”.
Oversize coat- this is a model that visually seems 2-3 sizes too large - a coat from someone else's big shoulder. But this is the trend of the season and you need to boldly choose such styles and patiently explain to your grandmother that this is your size. and what is so fashionable to wear today.

A cocoon coat can be worn with skinny skinny jeans... under ankle boots or shoes. If you have chosen shoes... then leave the coat unbuttoned... and try to pull the sleeve up to elbow level.

Suitable for a cocoon coat and feminine boots, ankle boots, shoes... and men's style shoes, like low shoes with laces.

This particular style of coat (with an oversized cut) is ideal for overweight women.
You can verify this if you look at the photographs from the article.

What to wear with a coat WITHOUT A COLLAR.

Coat without collar— created specifically to reveal a beautiful woman’s neck... This style revolution invented by Coco Chanel... she believed that pearls and other jewelry could and should be worn with a coat. Modern fashion has omitted the bright spillikins, replacing them with peeking lace collars or knitted knee socks. It is also welcome to drape the neckline with scarves...

They fit this coat without a collar like ankle boots with tights... and so Wellingtons…

You can add here any style elements... the main thing is that these elements support each other... Like, for example, the hat, bags and heavy boots in the right photo below are held together.

Well, if we return to Coco Chanel... then the development of her idea luxury woman became this collection of coats presented below….

HOW to wear an OVERCOAT (military style).

Army coat design and - not everyone dares to buy... It often seems that it is not clear what it can be worn with...

In fact, a double-breasted overcoat offers many opportunities for beauty.

Firstly, in the buttoned version it creates a beautiful fitted silhouette– and two rows of buttons resemble a uniform, adding piquancy to your look – a woman in uniform has always turned on the male imagination. So why not use it.

It's simple ideal for little women– a super-short coat worn over mini-shorts – will allow long legs in beautiful tights to start right under the hem of the coat (see photo below)… this will lengthen your legs and elevate your entire figure.

This overcoat can be worn with skinny jeans, skinny trousers. Also, military style does not exclude a skirt or dress under a coat.

And if you add such a skirt-overcoat look high boots and a cap– it can turn out to be a generally luxurious image... Just leave your hair down, so that the image contains only a playful hint of a uniform... and not complete transformation into a soldier's lady with a tough military bearing.

What to wear with a coat with SHORT sleeves.

So... now let's deal with short sleeves... As we can see in the photo below - coats of any style can have short sleeves(bell coat (left photo)… straight coat without a collar (middle photo)… cocoon coat (gray coat on the right in the photo below)

Coat with short sleeves – in classic version worn with long gloves reaching to the elbows. But this is optional. You can simply wear a blouse underneath - and let the sleeves of the blouse peek out from the sleeves of the coat - there is nothing wrong with that.

The main thing is that your sleeves are STYLISTICALLY JUSTIFIED by other elements of the image.

The easiest way- this is when the sleeves of a blouse match the color of the coat... Just went to the store and bought a special blouse... A calm option - just for those who wouldn't dare to play with a fashionable construction set?– as in the example with a gray coat and a red and black jumper from the photo above.

But the classics of the genre are still high gloves up to the elbow...

But this is not at all necessary - blouse sleeves may be a different color... the main thing is that this color is not too alien for the whole image ... that is, something should justify this color ... a hat, shoes or bag.

A-line coat

(high-waisted, underbust style).

A-line coat... or a flowing coat... or a cliche coat...(as people don’t call this style of coat with a high waist and flaring downwards like a bell.

This coat is perfect for for graceful short women... for young girls (the style emphasizes their youth... turns them into pretty little girls - This is the “Lolita” style we get.

Ideal choice for a growing tummy– if you are planning a pregnancy, then this model will come in handy.

You can wear a trapeze coat like with narrow ones trousers, skinny jeans, tights and shorts, same with curvy ones skirts, with the same high-waisted dresses - with leggings and tunics

What to wear with COAT-PONCHO of different styles.

Cape coat - looks beautiful on tall women... If you are of short stature, then it is better to wear shoes with platforms and choose either a not very fluffy poncho model, or a not very long one (slightly covering the buttocks) - then a poncho coat will look proportionate even on a short person.

The "cape" style usually resembles a poncho with slits for the arms... or has short, wide tailed sleeves.

This poncho coat can have simple, sleek cut(as in the photo below).

Or the cape coat can be tailored with drapery elements – with numerous lush soft folds

Or the style of the coat can be maximum close in cut to the classic poncho... the same triangular shape and vertical slits for the hands. Then such a coat should be worn with long elbow-length gloves... or with a long-sleeved blouse.

These cape coats can be worn both with boots... and with shoes... The main thing is to choose an image that would justify your choice of shoes.

Coat WITH SMELL - how to choose the right one.

Wrap coat (wrap coat) - can be of any style... both fitted... and close to the “overcoat” style (with two rows of buttons) and also have drapery elements ( gray photo below).

You also need to choose a wrap coat wisely - some models can visually enlarge already large breasts... other models, on the contrary, will practically hide small breasts.

The flaps (flaps) of a wrap-up coat can be fixed with slotted loops and buttons... or with hidden internal buttons and belt or strap.

You need to wear a wrap coat according to the same rules of length and style - which I have already voiced:

Olga Klishevskaya – especially for the site

Few, few and very few of our people risked forking out for oval loose coats this season. They hang in stores, yes. On the streets - I saw it a couple of times throughout the winter, although it wasn’t particularly cold until January, you’ll agree.
Although it is understandable. Beautiful? Still would! But you’ll understand how to wear it: the sleeves are neither this nor that, there are no buttons, there will be air blowing from all sides, and we’re probably not 16 anymore, so we don’t have to be afraid of cystitis. Right, better than spring wait - it's not so scary.
Spring is just around the corner. There are also old and new coats hanging - all the same: beautiful, without buttons and puffy. There is nowhere to pull.
Let's think about how to wear it.

Here are beautiful originals for spring from Nina Ricci and Osman. They walked down the catwalk in perfect and completely everyday outfits. But due to our weather and our finances, it will only be possible to go to the theater in May.

Democratic brands, to their credit, have made allowances for the everyday problems of their consumers. In Mango, as well as in Belarusian Lakbi and Valentina Filimonova, for example, there were such things - with a decent percentage of wool. But you still can’t wear them wide open every day through the March snowdrifts and April winds.

Yes, Vicki Beckham walks around very stylishly in something warm, swinging with her own hand, even without stilettos. Kim Kardashan and a whole bunch of other fashion bloggers are there too. But where are the snowdrifts? :)

This kind of view - with gusts of wind - is much more “relatable”. And at the same time, it’s easier to understand that a vest coat is good, but we’ll have to upgrade it a little.

The option that suggests itself is to wrap the coat and belt it. It would be really cool if you could get a metal belt. I also like the result with a thin belt or leather cord, even better - in a few turns or if you tie it with a bow.

By the way, this will also save the situation for the figures hourglass and triangles, which stylists strongly recommend avoiding shapeless clothes and emphasizing the presence of the waist in every possible way. Those who are not interested in the classical canons will still enjoy the warmth, at least. Miroslava Duma has warmed up too :)

For those who are alien to bows and other delicacies, here are a couple of stylish, tougher options - with a harsh knot and a man's belt (just don't go to extremes if you're a meter with a cap like me vertically challenged and generally miniature).

The only ones for whom the option of a belt at the waist is completely out of the question are the circle figure and the expectant mothers close to them. For them and for everyone who, in principle, cannot stomach fitted items, you can choose between a belt under the chest (and this is, perhaps, even more relevant than a classic fit) and hidden buttons or buttons from the inside of the coat (labor lessons 5th grade, yes, but what to do - then?) The only disadvantage of this option is that you can’t really run away with the length: below the hip, but above the knee - that’s it. Overall great for short, tapered trousers.

Well. I went for turquoise. Looks like a bit of a problem has been solved.

What can't designers come up with? At first we were amazed by neon colors, huge heels, tight leather pants, and now we are not surprised even by coats without buttons. This fashionable style variation is outerwear any styles, the buttons are missing or replaced with a zipper, brooch, belt. Wide and loose-fitting coats look interesting and unusual in the photo. This is one of the latest fashion trends!

Fashion experts say that coats without buttons came to us not so long ago. This model will transform you, add new notes to your image and make your appearance charming. It is outerwear without a collar and buttons that makes the lines softer and the silhouette more relaxed. In addition, you can tighten your clothes with a belt in a way that is comfortable for you, while highlighting your hourglass figure.

Various styles, colors and shapes

Designers suggest buying outerwear for several seasons at once. Fashion houses such as Victoria Beckham and Mulberry present to your attention options for loose-fitting flared coats. A coat from the MAX MARA brand in brown and sand shades can be used in any combinations and variations.

A minimalist straight-cut long coat without buttons will make your look more formal and sophisticated. Some recent years Double-breasted men's models remain popular, as do impeccable straight silhouettes with stand-up collars.

Designers recommend wearing a long coat to the office. You can wear it over a business suit or skirt with high boots made of faux leather and leather. In everyday looks, demi-season and winter coat Pair with skinny jeans and trousers.

For warm spring The ideal solution would be models with lace, which you can see in the collections of Louis Vuitton and Dolce Gabbana. Sometimes models use one brooch or zipper instead of a button. This creates an effect of completeness and grace. In the warmer months, you can wear shortened versions of the coat with ¾ sleeves, without buttons or with one brooch at the top, with holes like Louis Vuitton or with a wide belt like Gabbana.

The wrap coat deserves special attention. It is very comfortable to use. If you want to look feminine and romantic, give preference to delicate lace, embroidery and bows instead of buttons. These stylish and eye-catching models will create doll-like and vibrant looks.

Fashion designers offer coats made from the most non-standard materials, such as satin, guipure, jacquard and silk. But traditional leather, tweed, fine wool and cashmere are also relevant. You will find coats decorated with sequins and stones in the collections of Prada, and Burberry will surprise you with beautiful embroidery.
