There are no trifles in solemn images, each element is as important as the dress itself. And even more so when it comes to the cape for the evening image. Modern women of fashion are incredibly lucky, because the choice of clothes and capes to them is indecently large, which allows you to get out in every possible way, sorting out the color and style.
Kinds
Capes are a generalized concept, which implies a large family of beautiful and different-shaped elements for an evening look, designed to cover or warm the shoulders and arms.
Bolero
The bolero is presented in the form of a shortened jacket with sleeves of various lengths and all kinds of fasteners. Fashion for this element of evening dress came from Spain.
Bolero is made of any materials. Recently, lace models or decorated with swan's down have become popular.
A short cape refreshes and complements any style of dress, but serves as the best complement to a direct evening dress.
It is better to choose a bolero from the same fabric from which the dress is made. Or at least stick to one color range.
Knitted Cape
Can be presented knitted cape in the form of a scarf, a wide scarf or stole. Openwork knitting is used to create an elegant knitted cape, which can additionally be decorated with fringe around the edge.
Neckpiece
The boa is the name of a fur or feather scarf that is wrapped around the neck or thrown over the shoulder. It is more a decorative item of clothing and best of all combined with evening models in modern style.
Coats and coats
There is no better material for a winter cloak than fur. Short fur coats, vests, and mantles have the most amazing effect, making any look amazing and expensive.
The fur coat in the evening female image is similar to a short fur coat, it is made in the shape of a trapeze and has wide sleeves. It is usually fastened or tied around the neck. For the winter celebration, it is often the manto that is chosen that will warm well and perfectly complement the image.
Palatine
Palatines have long been known to the world. As soon as fashion designers do not “mock” this thing, making it from a variety of materials and introducing draperies. For an evening look, you can choose fur options or models made of expensive fabric.
Cape
The air drape is an excellent flaw concealer. She will cover her shoulders and hide her curvy hips. At the same time, a short length drape accentuates the slim waist.
Jacket
An excellent substitute for a fur vest for those girls who, not to the detriment of sophistication, prefer elegance, has been found in evening fashion.
Atypical direction in the form of an evening dress in the floor and a restrained elegant jacket is observed in many collections of famous designers.
Two options are popular:
- Classic jacket, slightly elongated with flap lapels;
- short jacket with voluminous sleeves due to clasping at the shoulder.
They stand out a little from the overall range, however, the evening dress becomes much more interesting.
If the jacket in the tone of the dress allows the girl to look discreet on the official part and bright, as soon as it is removed, then the mixing of styles is suitable for informal parties.
Selection rules
- Before you go to the store, think carefully about what you would like to purchase. It is not a sin to get confused from a wide range and not to buy at all what will suit your chosen dress.And what's next? Select a new dress under the cape?
- The choice of cape is largely determined by weather conditions and the nature of the event. For the celebration, which is held during the cold season, you can choose capes of fur or down. But if the weather is warm or you are collecting in a country with a warm climate, then the capes should be made of light fabric or lace.
- The combination of styles and styles between the dress and cape should be respected at the highest level. Do not forget about the main responsibility that is placed on the cape - to emphasize the elegance of the image, and not to become its main element.
- The price issue is often fundamental in determining the choice of a woman. If financial capabilities allow you to purchase natural furs, then you need to buy them. This element of the wardrobe will be worn for a long time and always remain in fashion. With not so great opportunities, you should pay attention to faux fur or noble fabrics. Designers began to create so spectacular capes that even at low cost, they look very presentable.
Lace capes look very feminine and add notes of tenderness and fragility in the image.
Examples of the use of capes
The use of a wide cape with a wide skirt is allowed only for women of tall stature. With small stature, such a combination of styles will only press the figure to the ground.
And if the body shape is pompous, then the similarity to the kolobok will be noted by each guest of the gala evening. Fur capes or boas will not add harmony to a full figure. Only mink belongs to the exceptions, because it fits almost everything and always.
If the dress has the form of a case, then concise capes will look good with it. They may be egg-shaped, straight or rectangular. The main condition and a mandatory rule - the cape should continue the silhouette of the dress and serve as an addition to the image, and not an independent element.
The choice of cape color is completely determined by the way. The surest option is to stick to the same color.
In the formation of the evening image possible combination of contrasting colors:
- black dress with a red or white cape;
- green outfit with a gold element;
- blue dress with silver.
It is right to choose and wear a beautiful cape with an evening dress - this is the art that every woman should master.
I try to buy a bolero or a cape for almost every evening dress, because the holidays are delayed for a long time, and even in the summer night it's cool.
