Maybe because they are a little tired of the classics - jackets, blazers, trench coats? Although how can you get tired of the classics - after all, it is these models that sit perfectly and are best suited for the practical life of the majority. But, as it often happens, what used to be considered a symbol of glamor and luxury, elegance and aristocracy, suddenly turns into a universal and affordable fashion hit. This also happens with a summer coat - next season it will most likely become for us a must-have, like in Russia in winter a fur coat made of natural fur.
And this summer, in the wardrobe of every fashionista, as a rule, there is not only an elegant lightweight cloak, but also a long summer jacket or several - for going out, for walking, for traveling to work. These long (sometimes on the floor) summer jackets are commonly called summer coat.
Sew it from a variety of fabrics - from velvet and brocade to light cotton. Lined and without. Sometimes a summer coat is more reminiscent of a home dressing gown, however, in combination with a well-chosen dress or top with trousers, it looks completely uncomfortable. Do you want to accurately hit the target? Sew twinset: summer coat and trousers or dress from the same fabric. Even better is the transparent fabric twinset.
Knitted coats in fashion is not the first season. But a coat of openwork fabrics or with guipure trim is new in the fashion world. The combination of patent leather and guipure with a large and bright pattern looks shocking.
Light coats with gold lurex look oriental luxuriously and are more suitable, of course, for going out.
Outrageous novelty for the summer: a coat of lightweight, sometimes transparent fabric (with or without lining) in combination with shorts, panties and a burgundy top. Although on the beach such an ensemble seems completely natural.
New for spring - wide accentuated trapezoidal coats without a belt knee-length and above.
Light coats or raincoats are great for spring and summer. in oriental style - without a collar, with wide, often three-quarter-length sleeves.
A classic blouse with knitted straps on the bottom and a knitted collar in an elongated version also turns into a fashionable summer coat.
Of the traditional classics, military-style raincoats are still in fashion this season. Double-breasted, with shoulder straps and fly-away coquettes, with straps with massive buckles. The most relevant length is up to the knee.
By the way, regarding lengths - This season it is fashionable to wear a cloak a little shorter than a dress or skirt. And cropped coats came into fashion - something in between a jacket and a coat to the knee. They are worn with a wide or narrow midi skirt or with shorts to the knees and ankle boots.
Still in fashion leather - usually lacquered, very shiny, not necessarily black. In fashion, a combination of different colors in one model, often in blocks, prints of predatory animals or reptiles. Suede - with shiny leather trim.
In fashion and style retro: cloaks of the 60-70s of the last century with a trapezoidal silhouette, ideal for both young and slender girls, and for magnificent fatties.
Details: sophisticated very wide, lapel-lapel collars. Oversize size combined with ankle-length and mega-pockets. Zipper from top to bottom instead of buttons. Contrast finish - contrasting in every sense: materials, color, style. Slanting fasteners. The uneven bottom edge of both the bottom of the coat itself and the sleeves and even collars, coquette and epaulettes. Finishing with unusual (seemingly unsuitable for each other) materials, as well as patchwork and curly stitch.
Featured accessories: primarily hats and caps.With their help, you can create an elegant look in a coat to the knee or midi, or mysteriously romantic - in a wide maxi coat. Lack of scarves and scarves on the neck. Clutches of different sizes to match the coat or contrasting color. Or large bags, including backpacks and buggies. Knee-high or above boots or leggings in combination with pumps or stiletto sandals.
