How to choose a coat - choose a coat for a figure

Look stylish and charming women can not prevent even the onset of cold weather. However, not all clothes are able to give their owner a truly beautiful female form, emphasize her dignity and completely hide the flaws. Take, for example, down jackets. Nobody will deny that the thing is comfortable, warm and unmarketable. Unfortunately, this is the end of her dignity. It is quite difficult to attract the attention of men in such clothes, because under such a down jacket one can not see anything at all, and it's not all that they are able to guess at all. Another thing - a coat. Correctly selected style, material and color can, within a few minutes( which will be required to try on a vintage specimen) to change the appearance of a woman, turning it into a real refined lady! It remains only to figure out how to choose a coat, so as not to miss the "goal".

Figure

To start( as with any other purchase), you need to determine the amount of money that you can spend to purchase a good coat. Do not forget to consider that this purchase can last at least a couple of years( with proper care and no changes in your figure).

The next step is choosing the style. Since all people are different, then the figures in the fair sex can rarely be called "standard".Therefore, the choice of a suitable style should be approached with all seriousness and it is better to go shopping with a friend( or friend) who is really able to see the best and suitable for you in the fitting clothes( since it is sometimes difficult to choose a coat by yourself, andthe seller's opinion is often based on the amount of interest that he will receive by selling you this thing).

Of course, there are also basic principles on which you can navigate in the selection.

With a wide waist with narrow shoulders and pelvis, it is worth paying attention to the fit options( to "designate" the figure), the length must be necessarily lower than the hips( wide part).It is not necessary to purchase a variant of a coat with a protruding trim( this will create the illusion of roundness of the figure), as well as with the shoulder pads. You can choose asymmetrical models( or single-breasted), but do not dangle around you, as if on a hanger.

With relatively narrow shoulders and wide, full-thighed hips, it is not necessary for the selected shape to focus on the lower part of its body. To do this, you will have to choose models that have wide collars, appliqués, large decorative buttons, fur trim, and wide sleeves( this will allow you to "balance" the silhouette).The coat should not be below the knee and it is necessary to emphasize the waist( for example, the strap).

With wide shoulders and narrow hips, all the "extra" elements in the coat should be in the lower part of the coat( these are folds, pleating and other "expanding" parts).Be sure to emphasize the waist.

If all the parameters( hips, waist, shoulders) are approximately the same, then the coat should help to give you missing female bends( or strengthen them), ie.slightly increase the top and bottom, visually reducing the middle. In the course will go overhead pockets, belts, flared to the bottom styles, asymmetric decoration, a variety of accessories, double-breasted models. The length can be both up to the hip, and to the knee. The fabric for the coat must be rigid, capable of "holding" the shape given in the sewing.

For a figure whose proportions are close to the usual 90-60-90( or any other figures having a "waist"), almost any style will suit. The main thing is that they give you femininity, necessarily emphasizing the narrowing of the figure in the waist.

Another nuance, which is recommended to pay attention - is growth. A small girl can try to start looking for a suitable style from those coats that have a length just below the knee. It's high to experiment with the length from the knee to the wide part of the thigh.

Fabrics

Today in the fashion natural fabrics. They are durable, durable, do not cause allergies, perfectly warm, but "breathe".In addition, woolen fabrics are slightly dirty and mildly wrinkled.

The coat can be made of:

• cashmere - a soft woolen fabric with diagonal hem, the "source" of which are Kashmiri goats( real high quality fabric is very expensive);the material is rather light, not marble and very warm;

• tweed - a motley soft, "loose" woolen fabric woven from a melange( consisting of many fine multi-colored yarns) yarn, which is a favorite "delicacy" of moths;of it is usually sewed light coats;

• boucle and velor - soft woolen fabrics that are not suitable for prolonged wear and easily lose their original appearance;

• matting - coarse and dense linen weave cloth in two or three strands.

• leather and suede - very strong beautiful natural materials( sometimes come across their artificial counterparts), capable of lasting 10 years or more, but only with high-quality dressing and the same seams( leather things that are boring during socks can be sewn into clothes forchild or an exclusive bag).

Color

Since it is impossible to choose a coat correctly without taking into account its coloring, before leaving for hunting, it is worth to devote a few minutes to the selection of a suitable color scheme for you( in this case, do not focus on the advertised fashion trends).In addition, it is worth considering that light colors will not only slightly fill, but, unfortunately, are almost completely unsuitable for trips in the subway or other public transport( where other people will "rub" against you).Dry cleaning, of course, can help out and clean the contaminated coat, but this is a serious "blow" on your wallet.

Remember that bright shades( black, red, yellow, blue) do not harmonize well with a face without make-up, and sometimes even can impart to it mourning or pallor. Deep saturated colors look more elegant than light ones. More quiet colors( pastel, beige, brown) are perfect for everyday life. When choosing such colors, special attention should be given to the right selection of the style, otherwise you are threatened with "getting lost" in the crowd around you."Revitalize" such shades can be various versions of trim and patch pockets, asymmetric details.

The knowledge of personal color type( one of four: spring, summer, autumn and winter) will help to choose the "own" color unerringly.

Try on a coat

So, how to choose the right coat? Once in the store and looking at several suitable models, in your opinion, you can go to the dressing room( do not forget to wear a sweater that you are going to wear in winter under your coat, otherwise with the onset of cold weather, buying may be small).Also, do not go shopping if you have not applied your usual make-up on your face and put hair in your hair( this will affect the color of the coat you choose).

After you have put on a coat of the appropriate size( without bubbles on your back and cutting underarms), carefully inspect your silhouette in the mirror and ask the opinion of the persons accompanying you. Then you should do a little "gymnastics" - sit down on a chair, walk around, pull out your hands and try to reduce them( take care not to tear the seam on your back if the coat is suddenly not enough).The sleeve should extend along the length to the middle of the palm. The width of the sleeve should not collect the sweater under the coat with ugly knees.

When choosing a coat, remember that this purchase is not for one season and, at the same time, not at all cheap.
