The freshness of autumn is already everywhere. This means that the question arises: where to go? Today we propose to talk about how to choose a universal basic coat from a huge assortment. Precisely the basic one, since you and I know how important beautiful and high-quality outerwear is.
Direct
The ideal basic coat is loose fit, straight, not fitted. This will not lose its relevance regardless of the trends of the season. It can be oversized or the most classic version. The main criterion for a basic coat is space, comfort, and it should be warm.
Midi length
The coat should definitely not be short. Length below the knee (possibly to the ankles) - the golden mean, looks status, expensive, elegant. Midi is the most advantageous option in terms of visual correction. However, remember that a coat to the middle of the calf muscle can shorten the legs a little and visually fill up, like ankle boots of the same height.
There is nothing wrong with the shortened version, but such a coat is impractical, wildly forgiven, more like a jacket. And this, as you already know, reduces the number of combinations.
Details and decor
- The coat can be with or without a belt, single-breasted or double-breasted - it's a matter of taste.
- Without unnecessary decor and intricate details (patch pockets, rough stitching, gold buttons and other frills). That is, a simple cut, like any basic thing.
- The presence of a hood is not for everybody. But keep in mind that this element is from a sporty style, not a basic one.
Colour
Color, texture and print - choose what you like. For example, if too bright and bold colors scare you, then give preference to neutral and classic colors (black, blue, white, camel, burgundy, gray). Achromatic colors are ideally combined with absolutely any shades.
Wear a coat with both classic wardrobe items and modern ones: with contrasting sweatshirts and chunky trainers.
Composition
In the store, when buying, be sure to check the composition of the coat and the lining. If the tag says "Reine Schurwolle" then this is a coat with a high wool content. This is a positive sign. Since a small addition of synthetic fibers indicates the practicality and high wear resistance of the coat.
If you see the inscription "Wool 100%" - think about whether it is worth making a purchase. This coat can be both fake and incredibly impractical. Good luck to all the choice and stick to simplicity and brevity, it will decorate you!
