Choosing a comfortable and stylish coat
30.09.2020
Autumn coolness makes women think about buying new outerwear. I want to update my wardrobe and keep up with fashion. What thing to choose so that it allows you to remain feminine, warm well and is comfortable? We offer to buy a coat. This is not a trendy thing, but a classic, the creation of which takes into account current trends. Such an acquisition is rarely done spontaneously, only when the model really sits beautifully on the figure. How to choose a coat that will become a basic and favorite thing, we will tell further.
Dozens of nuances
Fashion experts tell you how to choose the right coat. They recommend considering not only trends. When choosing a coat for a client, a stylist takes into account her body type, style, features of the basic things and shoes that she wears in everyday life. The climate of the place of residence plays a role. If weather conditions are ignored, chances are good to buy a position that is too warm or cold. For example, residents of the South of Ukraine should pay attention to a light coat made of gabardine, crepe, raincoat, velveteen, and women from the western and northern parts of the country - positions with woolen fibers. The latter coats, in most cases, are heavier and denser.
We set a purchase goal
Before you go shopping, determine the purpose of the future new thing. Coat models for every day, for work, leisure and special occasions are radically different from each other. This applies to materials, cut, cut and other parameters. You can choose the "classic", then the coat will suit any outfit, except when baggy and sportswear prevails in the closet.
Is it possible to judge the quality of the material and the product in general by the price? Yes, there are budget and premium fabrics - real cashmere, for example, is expensive. Without knowing how to choose a quality coat, look at the cost and brand name. Well-known companies will not risk their reputation, they use good materials for sewing clothes. However, the brand's popularity increases the price tag.
Among the products from little-known companies, there are also good things. For a successful purchase, look at the composition of the fabric, the quality of tailoring and lining. If a cashmere coat is offered at a ridiculous price, it is worth considering. After several weeks of wearing on such a product, most likely, a lot of pellets will appear, and after a month it will become unsuitable for "publication".
Material is an important selection criterion
If you need a coat for every day, choose an item made of durable fabric. These include boucle, tweed, drape and ratin. They are strong enough, durable and comfortable. How warm the new thing will be will determine the composition of the fabric. Look at the percentage of wool fibers - the more, the warmer the coat. There are soft and prickly products, light and heavy. We recommend trying on woolen models and evaluating tactilely how comfortable they are. They are not suitable for a warm autumn, it will be too hot in them.
During the off-season, positions made from eco- and genuine leather, suede and its artificial substitute are relevant for many years. These materials are practical, wear out after 3-5 years, and fit any look. The main thing when buying them is to look at the style so that it does not go out of fashion.
For special occasions, we recommend choosing a coat made of velvet, velor, cashmere. They are not entirely practical, but they look status and impressive. Wear them carefully and dry clean them if necessary. Improper home care will permanently ruin the item.
Style and fit
Choose a versatile casual or classic mid-length coat for every day. It is convenient for public transport and cars. If you often travel by car, it is better to buy an actual short coat. The long version is not the most practical one, we recommend it to lovers of hiking.
Basic models:
- The smell.
- Direct.
- Oval or cocoon.
Many basic positions come with a belt that makes it easy to accentuate the waist and highlight the hips. One of the three models will definitely fit, the main thing is not to miscalculate with the size. The basic position is out of fashion, the best option at any time.
Immediately before buying, evaluate the quality of the cut and the accuracy. The seams should be even and uniform and the stitches frequent. See how the coat is tucked up at the bottom and on the sleeves. In the first case, the allowance should be at least 3 cm, in the second - at least 2 cm. Fur collars or inserts are not always sewn - if the lines are not visible, then they are glued and after a while they will fall off.
Important: when trying on, put your hands in your pockets. Too high their location already indicates that the coat does not fit in height, will not sit on the figure.
Be demanding when choosing outerwear, buy only when nothing bothers you.
