The cloak itself is a unique thing that always remains relevant. Indeed, in each new season, designers offer new models of raincoats, but no one even thinks of abandoning them. What can we say for a classic cloak, which by definition must always remain relevant.

Materials

Classic cloaks are most often made of thin fabric, which has the properties of moisture and windproof. This material is even called like clothing that is sewn from it. At least it was before. With the advent of new materials and fashion trends, designers increasingly prefer other fabrics.

Among this range are several options:

  • Leather is great for creating cloaks in a classic style. This material is worn well, does not get wet, does not lose its relevance, and also has the ability to be combined with other clothes of various styles.
  • A raincoat will always be used to create raincoats and other materials will not be able to completely displace it. The composition of this fabric includes cotton and synthetic fibers, which are specially processed. As a result, the material becomes waterproof. A raincoat with a “memory” effect is widespread, the essence of which lies in the ability to knead during contraction and quickly smooth out.
  • Gabardine is worn for a long time, it is resistant to intensive use, it is easy to clean, it is not prone to wiping and perfectly keeps its shape.
  • Suede always has an expensive look, it looks gorgeous and easily blends in different looks. But this material easily gets wet, requires complex care, is expensive. A suede raincoat can be bought for special occasions, but for every day such a wardrobe item will not work.
  • Denim, especially dark, can also be used for sewing classic coats.
  • Velvet looks unusual, you can even say, aristocratic.
  • Cotton, in particular, mercerized. With the help of modern fiber processing, cotton acquires such properties that are necessary for outerwear. This material looks more expensive and noble, it becomes comfortable for use during the off-season.

Colors

In general, any color is acceptable for raincoats, here the designers do not limit themselves. But if the conversation is about classic cloaks, then you can select only a few options:

  • The black;
  • Gray;
  • Beige;
  • Blue.

Types of classic raincoats

The classic raincoat is a common name that combines several varieties of outerwear.

The Burberry Cloak first appeared in 1856. This clothing was presented by Thomas Barberry, who specialized in the production of sportswear. The Burberry raincoat was a gabardine trench coat that was used as a uniform by soldiers, detectives, spies.

After so much time, such a cloak is actively used in male and female fashion. These cloaks have a number of distinctive characteristics:

  • buttoned shoulder straps serve as an element of decor;
  • the lapel with buttons warms the chest and protects from the wind;
  • adjustable cuff;
  • use of breathable material;
  • fabric belt can be tied in front or behind;
  • Wool lining with removable design.

Trenchcoat is the progenitor of classic cloaks. It is so versatile that it can be worn with almost any clothing.

Trenchcoat can be compared with a little black dress, because it should also be in every woman's wardrobe.This coat is double-breasted, so girls with large breasts should be wary of such clothes. Yes, and buttons located in two rows at the top of the raincoat, will add a little volume.

The English classic cloak differs from its counterparts in the following number of features:

  • fitted silhouette, but not particularly narrow;
  • collar is small but closed;
  • masked buttons that hide behind two slats;
  • slotted pockets, which are often equipped with flaps or leaves;
  • shoulder straps are missing, and the presence of a belt is optional.

What to wear?

Getting acquainted with the classic cloaks, we could not avoid the issue of combining them with other clothes.

Cloaks in the classic version are perfectly combined with almost any clothing, but a detailed overview will not be superfluous.

  • Jeans and trousers can be selected any, being guided by the personal preferences and sense of style.
  • Dresses and skirts look good with raincoats that have a belt or belt. In this case, the raincoat should completely cover the clothes. It is unacceptable even a few centimeters of hem that will look out from under the raincoat.
  • With which shoes to wear classic cloaks - another topical issue that worries many fashionistas. First of all it is necessary to consider boots and shoes with a heel. This choice of shoes is especially relevant for long models. Options with a flat sole can be considered, but the combination of clothes and shoes in this case should be perfect.
  • Jewelry can be present in the image, but the cloak in this case should have the most restrained style. In a classic image you can add a watch or a bracelet, laconic earrings, a chain with a small pendant. The main thing - do not overdo it. It is not necessary to wear all the best and immediately.
  • The bag can be large and roomy or a small type of clutch.
