A striking example of classic outerwear is a gray coat, which at all times is popular and fits perfectly with every female type. Of course, if you know how to choose, with what to wear and follow fashion trends.
Models and styles
As soon as the designers do not change the gray coat, trying to create unique clothes with classic elements! Thanks to this zeal, you and I can choose a gray coat from a variety of options:
- sports models that need to be worn exclusively with sports shoes;
- with high waist, showing the beauty of the chest;
- military, removing all the rules and restrictions;
- long to the floor, similar to dresses;
- flare from the chest;
- with three-quarter sleeves or bat;
- with smell.
Separately want to note short models - they look great on almost any shape and are at ease regarding the issues of combining with other elements.
Coat with stand-up collar it will look even better if a discreet accessory is successfully chosen for it - even a light scarf will make a gray coat interesting and expressive.
Length
Under long gray coat it is not necessary to wear boots, it is better to choose shoes, shoes or ankle boots. As for clothes, under such a coat is better to wear tight clothes: skinny jeans, leggings, straight dresses, pencil skirts. Although with classic trousers you can achieve a harmonious combination.
Shades
We are accustomed to three variations of gray: classic gray, light and dark. But this is not all tones, which are based on gray. Even in the famous film it is mentioned about 50 shades of gray.
We will not consider such an amount, but the most interesting of them will be mentioned:
- gray with a silvery shade;
- practically white, slightly periwinkle;
- pearl color;
- pigeon gray;
- dark mouse, looking very noble;
- dark anthracite, which a little more and will become blue marengo;
- unusual quartz;
- the color of wet asphalt, which had become a classic.
When buying a gray coat, choose a variety of shades, because the standard gray is dull and not relevant this season.
Gray color itself is beautiful, deep and inviting, but designers try to dilute it in every possible way, to make it more interesting. Therefore, it is increasingly possible to see a gray coat with a different print in collections and in shops. It can be intricate and be the main element, and can also be simple and unobtrusive, to serve as a nice addition to the main color. A little retro style has not damaged even one thing.
Designers most often use a cage of various sizes, motley and herringbone.
Youth
For full
Who said that a gray coat should not be worn by full women? This is a big nonsense. Not only possible, but also definitely necessary. Only you need to choose dark shades of gray, which will add slimness and sophistication. You should choose free models to which you can add a wide belt.
Categorical "no" full girls should say thin belts and compact handbags, which will look at least strange.
Fashion trends
Coats with meek sleeves, which can be tight-fitting or loose, should be worn with long gloves - this look will look great and give off a casual luxury.
Wide sleeves of the well-known bat type persevere into all areas of fashion, and you can see them in a gray coat. Models in the best traditions of the classics began to decorate the most unusual details, taken from other styles.
Short pile on fur collars can be made in the same tone as the coat or be a contrast element. A particularly elegant look on the gray fabric fur, consisting of several colors that shimmer beautifully.
The coat with rounded shoulders is a novelty this season, and trench coats, coats in the form of capes, robes and ponchos have received a second life.
the cloth
For the production of gray coat can be used a wide range of materials, among which the most commonly chosen are drape, noble leather, soft cashmere, rich fur, playful velor and flannel.
When the goal is to create a feminine and romantic coat, then coupon or jacquard fabric is used.
If a winter coat is created in gray, then drape, leather or wool-based material is often chosen. The synthetic winterizer, which is indispensable for creating winter outerwear, is actively used. As before, the combination of leather and fur trim remains at a height.
How to choose?
As we said before, gray has a lot of shades that you need to be able to choose. It is necessary to be based on the type and features of each girl individually.
The presence of dark hair and pale skin is obliged to choose a coat with a rich, deep color. If the coat was chosen light, then necessarily in the image should be bright and expressive accessories.
The predominance of light shades in the female image requires the choice of a coat in light pastel gray tones.
Reddish or chestnut-colored hair and a blush on the cheeks indicate an autumn type of its owner, to which the gray color in its pure form fits very well.
With the color figured out, it's time to get to the style, which is selected depending on the type of figure:
A triangular shape (thin waist, narrow shoulders and wide hips) will look good in a coat with wide collars. This element is able to bring balance to the image.
Sand figure is a reason for pride, because it is considered ideal. With such a figure is allowed to choose any coat, in any case, it will look great.
The apple figure (narrow top and bottom, but a voluminous belly) leaves little choice regarding the coat. A girl with such a figure will need to choose from O-shaped models and military style. The figure, which in its outlines resembles a pear, requires emphasis on the waist and the presence in the coat of expressive, voluminous collars.
The square figure is deprived of the correct proportions and indicates the presence of excess weight. In this case, the coat should reach the knee, have a fitted top and a wide bottom.
What to wear?
Colour. Coat without accessories simply can not exist, it will be a crime against fashion. Mistakes in the choice of additional elements make everything, from young girls to the wise fashionable experience of ladies.
Although the fashion world is constantly changing, but the main rules remain the same, except that with the exception of the three-color rule. If the image is romantic or business in nature, then this rule should be strictly observed, but when casual style is considered, then you can forget about the three colors and experiment in your pleasure.
Accessories. The list of mandatory accessories includes the following items:
Scarf. It can be chosen in almost any color, with various ornaments, patterns and prints. Even a gray scarf can be matched to a gray coat, but it is necessary to achieve maximum contrast. The scarf must match the season and weather conditions.
Special popularity is noted in the category of scarves "a la rus", Arabic scarves, products with animalistic animal prints.
A long coat will not look good with a wide-brimmed hat, but with a beret it looks very good.
Belt or belt can be leather - it is a win-win option, which is necessarily present in the wardrobe of every fashionable woman. If you do not have it yet, then you urgently need to buy and wear under your gray coat. A bright belt will help to combine bright shoes and a gray coat into a single tandem.
A wide belt will highlight the waist, protect from the wind and transform any coat.
Shoes on modern fashionable requirements should not repeat the color of the bag, it is more important that the shoes match the color of the coat.
If we talk about colors, you can choose brown, red and black shoes. There may be controversy about brown, but the secret to creating a successful image is to choose the right shade of shoes.
Popular and suitable for a gray coat are sand shade, the combination of red and brown, camel color. Plunging headlong into the problem of choosing shoes, do not forget about tights. If your legs can not be called the standard of beauty, then tights are chosen strictly in tune with the shoes.
Stars in a gray coat
A gray coat is a frequent choice for many star women:
Jennifer Lopez was spotted wearing a gray coat and gray boots.
Emma Watson creates on the basis of a gray coat amazing and absolutely unique images that can be adopted.
Sarah Jessica Parker is probably an outcast fan of a gray coat, since there are several such cute little things in her wardrobe.
Stylish and fashionable images
What images did they choose for themselves and did they choose the right elements for outerwear?
Are you still afraid to combine gray coat with white color? Then pay your attention to the next lady who may be going on a date, to a restaurant or theater, or maybe just decided to conquer this world today. And she has every chance of it, because her image is perfectly matched. Playing shades, among which there is the color of milk chocolate, silver and ivory tint, would not be so charming without a gray coat, which serves as an excellent complement, and not the main element.
