What to wear under a coat. How to choose the perfect coat: stylist's advice
Can an insulated coat replace a down jacket? What lies inside a truly warm thing? How to choose and where to buy the right coat? After all, how to properly care for it so that it lasts for a long time?
We talked to the founders of two Moscow outerwear brands, Sofia Zharova and Dina Lubentsova (ButterMilkGarments), and learned all about insulation. Let’s immediately make a reservation that SofiaZharova’s items cost twice as much as ButterMilkGarments – the brands operate in different segments, use different materials and technologies, but approach quality issues equally responsibly.

Can an insulated coat replace a down jacket or parka?
The most versatile and comfortable clothing for late autumn and winter is, of course, a parka. This is an insulated coat made of jacket or raincoat fabric, usually with a hood. The parka is wearable, lightweight, protects well from the wind, is not afraid of moisture and dirt, practically does not deform and is easier to care for than a classic coat or fur coat. In addition, it is easy to combine with almost any clothing - be it a formal suit or an evening dress.
A high-quality winter coat can be an excellent alternative to both down jackets and parkas. Gone are the days when winter coats were heavy and bulky, like sheepskin coats and fur coats. Modern insulation makes it possible to make a truly warm winter coat that will be beautiful and light. To my taste, it beats the traditional fur coat for financial, practical, and ethical reasons, not to mention the fact that it looks more modern. Yes, coats are heavier than parkas, more expensive, and cannot be washed, but the beauty and variety of textures compensate for these features.
What is the difference between a winter coat and a demi-season coat?
Sofia Zharova, founder of the Sofia Zharova brand
Most demi-season coats do not provide insulation; the ability to keep you warm in cold weather depends on the properties of the main fabric. Such coats are usually designed for above-zero temperatures (up to +5C°). In Moscow they are worn in September-October. Already in November, the thermometer fluctuates around zero, periodically dropping below. For most European countries, this is winter, but for us it is a reason to wear an insulated demi-season coat. This can be worn down to -5C°. A winter coat should be windproof and insulated enough to withstand frosts, on average from -5C° to -15C°.
For classic coats, we use fabrics made from natural fibers as the main material. They are more expensive than synthetic and blended ones, but their advantages - beauty, warmth, tactile properties and ability to recover - are undeniable.
In all insulated coat models made from classic materials (wool, cashmere, alpaca, mohair), we use a thin membrane immediately after the coat layer - this is a special breathable fabric with water-repellent impregnation that protects against wind and excess moisture during heavy snowfalls. No matter how much you insulate your coat, if it is blown, everything will be useless.
We use Slimtex as our main winter insulation. This is a modern technological insulation based on microfiber, very effective in terms of thickness and thermal insulation. The insulating properties of such insulation with a thickness of 2.5 mm correspond to a layer of padding polyester 3 cm thick. It does not deform and does not require quilting, which means it allows you to create thin and light insulated coats or parkas, focusing only on the lines of the style. It turns out to be an interesting alternative to almost any down jacket - after all, they are all quilted with a diamond or stripe pattern, and are much more voluminous. Slimtex does not lose its properties during washing and dry cleaning, and solves the problem with the ubiquitous feathers that come out. Coats with such insulation can easily withstand temperatures down to -15C°.
Another favorite of mine is the Rot-Weiss sheep down insulation from Kufner (also known as sherstepon or wool). This is a mesh made of viscose fibers through which sheep wool is threaded - reminiscent of a thin Orenburg down scarf. This insulation is completely weightless, very flexible and adds absolutely no volume. We put it together with the thinnest membrane in insulated demi-season models, perfect for cold autumn or warm winter (down to -8C), we use it to insulate the sleeves of classic winter coats, and also in addition to Slimtex in winter models designed for deep frosts down to - 25C° – for additional comfort.
Dina Lubentsova, founder of the brandButterMilkGarments
I choose a fabric blend with a significant percentage of wool for coats and cotton for parkas. Natural fabric “breathes”, unlike inexpensive synthetics. Often a membrane is used to create air exchange, but it significantly increases the final cost of the product. Fabric impregnated with WR and coated with PU on the reverse is often sufficient. The same goes for coats: wool warms better than inexpensive synthetics, and the use of technologically advanced artificial fabrics requires an above-average price category. The cost of ButterMilk Garments items is comparable to the mass market - we try to optimize costs and balance the price-quality ratio.
We put a special insulation on the winter coat; it is quite thin and comes from the Orenburg shawl. Composition: 70% wool, 30% acrylic. This is a proven option over the years. Taking into account the wool top, such a coat can be worn down to -15C°, and if you put on a vest or a thin down jacket, it can cope with lower temperatures. It is important to understand that the indication of temperatures is conditional, the exact figure depends on the individual characteristics of the climate, the chosen shoes, hat, scarf, and, ultimately, on how long you stand at the bus stop or run with bags from Auchan.

What to look for when choosing a coat and other winter outerwear?
Sofia Zharova, founder of the Sofia Zharova brand
When choosing any outerwear, attention should be paid to the quality of materials, method of insulation and fit.
Planting is a matter of taste. It is better to choose models that fit quite loosely, but not bulky. Consider the features of a winter wardrobe, when clothes acquire additional volume. Even a thin cashmere jumper is thicker than a light dress, let alone cozy cardigans, sweatshirts and jackets. My favorites for winter are cocoons and Y-line coats with a dropped shoulder. Your favorite sweater will fit freely inside, and the outside will not feel “stuffed.”
The upper material should be pleasant both to look and to the touch. It is very easy to check for deformation - just rub the material in an inconspicuous place, as if you were washing out a stain, and then smooth this area (if the fabric is piled, then along the pile). High-quality pile restores its shape, which means it will be easy for you to care for your coat with a clothes brush. If the creases do not go away, then during wearing, care will arise, and the coat will most likely look untidy. Pills may appear on lint-free draperies - this is normal for wool, the main thing is how they behave. If they are easily removed, like fluff, everything is fine, if the peeling occurs “in the body” of the fabric or is difficult to remove, pulling fibers along with it, it is worth thinking about the rationality of the purchase.
The quality of the lining also plays a role. Lining made from artificial fibers is more durable and is less likely to be wiped, but it breathes less well and accumulates static electricity much more. In our coats we use a lining made of natural viscose, because the body constantly breathes, and in winter static is simply poured into the air. To increase wearability, I choose the most dense linings with a satin texture, which are usually used for fur coats. But with active wear, after a couple of seasons, such a lining may become thinner.
Insulation is a separate issue. It is advisable that the type of insulation and its brand be known (indicated on the label and on the manufacturer’s website, and a sample is included in the set of tags). In this case, you can always check information about the properties of insulation online. Manufacturers conduct tests of their products, you can familiarize yourself with the technical data for a specific insulation. The phrase “insulated coat” or “good Finnish insulation” says nothing about the real properties of the product. Remember that coats made from classic coat fabrics and faux fur are breathable - ask how this issue is resolved. There must be either a membrane or another special technology, otherwise insulation will not work in windy weather.
It's good when the coat has a belt. In cold weather you will appreciate the extra fit; just the word “belt yourself” makes you feel warmer. Nobody canceled winter clothes under a coat, as well as warm scarves, gloves, and shoes. Blood circulation connects all parts of the human body together, and if you have cold shoes or gloves, you will still feel cold, no matter how warm your coat is. Take care of yourself, cherish and wrap yourself! The energy that the body spends on additional heating can be used much more rationally.
Dina Lubentsova, founder stamps ButterMilkGarments
It is worth paying attention not only to the presence or absence of insulation, but also to the thickness of the fabric itself; the standard for winter is from 500 grams. This parameter is never indicated, but you can tactilely feel the difference by comparing several coats. Look at the composition - mixed fabric is better than natural, it will last longer, wrinkle and peel less. A high collar will cover most of your face, and a double-breasted wrap will provide better protection from the wind.

How to properly care for a coat so that it lasts a long time?
1.Coats, like shoes, need to be allowed to rest. Ideally, don’t wear the same coat two days in a row. If this is not possible, arrange for him the most comfortable rest for the night. The coat should dry properly and “breathe”. Even if it's dry outside, your coat will still pick up moisture from your body's evaporation. When wet, coat fabric, when dried, will take the shape that you give it (like hair when styling). Therefore, use a special hanger for storing outerwear. These hangers have voluminous crossbars that thicken towards the edge of the shoulder. The width of the crossbar of a good hanger at the edges will be at least 5cm. Choose the correct length of the wings - for sizes up to and including M, 39 cm is usually enough; for L-XL, hangers with a length of 40-41 cm are suitable. If you don’t have one, buy one; restoring a deformed coat will be more expensive. After hanging the coat on the hanger, distribute it carefully: straighten the collar, check that there is enough space in the closet for the full length of the coat, straighten the lapels, straighten the floors, leave space for things hanging nearby. Even overnight, coats made from natural fabrics “sag” and regain their shape.
2. Clean with a coat roller; if the fabric has lint, it is better to use a special brush with a velor coating. This brush removes not only dust and dirt, but also pile creases.
3. In case of serious contamination, the coat should be dry-cleaned - it is strictly forbidden to wash the coat, otherwise it will “shrink” and turn into a child’s coat.
4. If you need to straighten minor creases, use a steam generator or the “steam boost” function, which most modern irons have. Steam the crumpled area on the floor without touching the sole of the iron to the surface of the coat, comb the pile with a brush and let the coat cool for a couple of hours on a hanger. At the beginning and end of the season, it makes sense to use a professional ironing service (usually in dry cleaners and studios) - using industrial equipment, it is possible to completely restore almost any shape defects that have appeared.
5.Try not to carry a heavy bag or backpack on your shoulder or forearm. If you still use a backpack, choose smooth textures; porous ones will “wipe” or roll up the coat fabric very quickly.
Where to buy a coat?
We have collected more than 50 coats of Russian brands - from very light to the most insulated -.
Coat– a basic wardrobe item, without which it is difficult to imagine the autumn-spring periods. We buy it for more than one season, but it can look different. The main thing is to figure out how to style this thing.
YaBkupil offers several ideas on what to wear with a coat regarding style and style.
Classic coat. The most ideal combination is classic clothing: tapered or straight trousers, a blouse or shirt, a sheath dress, a pencil skirt. Shoes with heels, pumps, and boots would be appropriate.
Cape coat. A very fashionable thing in the last few seasons, and you can combine it with different styles and details. Stylish ponchos, capes, sleeveless coats will add originality to any wardrobe. It is better to wear shoes with heels.
Short coat. What to wear with a coat if it is short? This is a youth version of demi-season outerwear, so bright and fresh ideas are quite appropriate. Long and short dresses with skirts, denim shorts or thick fabric, jeans of any model. What shoes to wear with a short coat? There are a lot of variations: boots, over the knee boots, cowboy boots. Both at low speed and with wedges or heels.
Trapezoid. If you don't know what to wear with a trapeze-shaped coat, reconsider your wardrobe. There will probably be skinny jeans or any other tight trousers, and vice versa - wide trousers will be perfect. A good combination will be with pencil skirts, full skirts and long dresses.
High waist. Ideal for combinations with cocktail dresses and full skirts. If you wear only trousers, wear cropped bright trousers - you'll get a stylish outfit for every day or a party. Shoes are exclusively feminine, always with heels.
Short sleeve. More than one fashionista wonders what to wear with a coat with short sleeves. After all, this model is at the peak of popularity! Sheath dresses or knitted warm dresses are suitable. A good option is . Suitable footwear is ankle boots and tall boots, and the best accessory would be long, elbow-length gloves.
Wrap coat. This model appeared on the catwalks of the best designers with enviable consistency. The fashion gurus themselves recommend a style that wraps at the waist to be worn with business suits. Very feminine and stylish!
Straight silhouette. Many people will find a coat with a straight silhouette shapeless and inelegant. What to wear with a coat of this cut, if not with a belt? If you tie it with a bright belt around the waist, the model will look very sophisticated. Underneath, wear a sweater dress or a knitted dress if you wear trousers - almost any option will work here. It is better to choose shoes with heels.
Wide or stand-up collar. If there is a conspicuous collar, fashion designers do not advise combining such a thing with multi-layered outfits. A suitable tandem is a tight dress, pencil skirt, tapered trousers with a blouse or shirt. A wide collar suggests a light scarf.
Autumn days with their inevitable colder weather are creeping closer to our doorstep, which means it’s time to pack up our summer things and see what summer has to offer. Perhaps something purchased in previous seasons is already outdated and you want to buy some new things. But what never leaves fashion catwalks is the women's coat!
How not to look ridiculous in a coat?
It would seem that this is a completely universal version of outerwear, suitable for everyone without exception and combines advantageously with other elements of the wardrobe. In reality, this only happens if the girl has a keen sense of what a coat can be worn with, and what it should in no case be combined with.
In order for a coat to look good on its owner, it is necessary to take into account many factors: its style, color, features of your own figure, accessories, as well as the place where you are going to wear the coat.
Types of coats: selecting the bottom for each of them
The classic silhouette of a women's coat cannot be confused with any other. This is a fitted model, most often knee-length or slightly higher, double-breasted or with one row of buttons, with or without an English collar, belt. This cut gives quite a wide scope of imagination for. It could be a pencil skirt, narrow trousers, skinny jeans - in other words, anything except a long wide skirt.
The overcoat with its two strict rows of shiny buttons, emphatically straight lines of the shoulders and patched pocket flaps requires an appropriate “military” attitude. You can combine such a coat with narrow things - the same universal knee-length pencil skirt, dress and tight trousers.
The duffle coat, which came into the world of fashion from military life, is not as strict in cut as an overcoat, and is more democratic in the choice of companions. Pairs well with straight trousers or jeans.
Pea coat is another coat model originally from the military wardrobe. Due to its loose and rather voluminous silhouette, a peacoat cannot be combined with a wide bottom - again, either a short narrow skirt or trousers.
The sleeveless trapeze coat is an incredibly feminine model that resembles a cape. It is best combined with a short skirt and high-heeled boots. Due to the lack of sleeves, this model allows you to show off beautiful long gloves.
(aka cocoon) is very capricious in choosing partners. It cannot be complemented with a voluminous bottom - leggings, skinny jeans, a tight short skirt will be the optimal “partners” for such a model.
Hats, scarves and other accessories
What to wear with a coat so that it doesn't look boring? Hats, hats, scarves, gloves, belts and so on can help with this. If you prefer a coat of subdued colors - black, gray or dark blue, then you can decorate your look with a bright accessory - red, crimson, emerald or coral.
Remember that the more restrained the style of the coat, the more formal the headdress should be.
Volumetric models such as cocoons or capes do not tolerate proximity to voluminous scarves and hats.
Grace Kelly-style scarves make a classic coat even more feminine.
Shoes and coats
The more sophisticated your coat is, the better it will go with heels. For autumn, winter and spring, these can be high-top boots with thin or thick heels; for warmer weather, elegant ankle boots or shoes.
A duffle coat can also be combined with low-heeled shoes - boots without heels or even boots.
We combine colors correctly
The golden rule: do not go too far in choosing colors, so as not to look like a parrot.
If you wear a plain coat, you can complement it with colorful companions, but if you prefer a model with print, embroidery, color blocking, and so on, forget about additional patterns.
How to wear a coat made of checkered, striped or any other patterned fabric? To focus attention specifically on the print, it is recommended to combine such a coat with clothes in muted tones - and preferably monochromatic.
Women's coats are now at the peak of popularity. A variety of models of this outerwear provide enormous scope for the imagination of fashionistas. Want to look stylish? Be sure to buy a trendy coat this season! But what shoes should you wear it with in 2019 to make the outfit look harmonious?
Consider weather conditions, length, style and material of clothing. You can listen to the advice of stylists on how to choose the right shoes for your coat. More on this later, but for now, look at the examples of successful bows in the photo:
Coats to the knee, above the knee and below the knee - we select shoes for each occasion
The higher the hem of the outerwear is, the higher the top of the shoe can be. A below-the-knee raincoat is best worn with ankle boots or low heeled boots. For warm weather, closed shoes like Oxfords are suitable. A floor-length coat is worn with ankle boots or boots, but it must be unbuttoned. Among long raincoats, there are often options in which the fastener only reaches mid-thigh, and the hem swings open when walking. This model harmonizes perfectly with ankle boots and boots, complemented by a short narrow skirt or skinny trousers. Usually we select shoes individually for each occasion; it is advisable to wear knee-length and above-the-knee coats with classic boots. You can see what it looks like in the photo:
A knee-length coat can be worn with boots, ankle boots, boots, shoes and even sandals. For each occasion, a certain shoe model is suitable. Now fashion bloggers are encouraging ladies to wear sandals and tights with outerwear. We remind you that open-toed shoes and tights, stockings or socks are not the best combination; many stylists categorically do not accept it.
In warm weather, you can wear a light knee-length raincoat and moderately closed sandals. It's best to keep the heel closed and avoid styles with a lot of thin straps and weaves. Choose oxfords, loafers. There must be a gap between the hem and the top of the boot. If you are wearing a skirt that is longer than your outerwear, the gap should be between the hem of the skirt and the shoes. The exception is stocking boots, the top of which, according to fashion trendsetters, can be hidden under the hem.
Coats above the knee are worn with a wide variety of shoes - from sandals to over the knee boots. Here again you need to take into account the length of the skirt or dress. If your outerwear barely reaches mid-thigh, and your skirt is midi length, then the most you can afford is ankle boots. You can wear stocking boots to match the skirt if the skirt is flared. Short models of outerwear look equally harmonious with elegant stiletto heeled pumps, as well as with platform boots and without heels.
How to choose shoes for a military style coat, cocoon, oversized
How to choose the right shoes for a coat, depending on the style in which it is made? Not only the length of clothing, but also the style plays a significant role in the choice of shoes. So, with fitted flared raincoats, pumps and ankle boots with stiletto heels or cone heels look charming.
With straight options, you can wear comfortable boots or boots with a small platform or wedge. The straight model can be worn even with sports shoes; for this purpose, it is not recommended to fasten the buttons, and you should choose cropped trousers so that the ankle remains visible. When choosing for your look, give preference to models of outerwear without a collar - with a round or triangular neck. Clothes in military style, oversized and cocoon require specific solutions.
How to choose shoes to match a fur coat? For a truly luxurious look, choose leather boots with fur trim. An equally good solution would be matte leather ankle boots with heels. A quilted raincoat or down jacket will be decorated with leather platform boots, as well as designer versions of rubber shoes.
Cashmere outerwear paired with suede boots will look very cozy and feminine, while a leather pair will create a stylish contrast. Knitted outerwear made from yarn is best worn with smooth and laconic shoes, as the knitted texture itself is very impressive.
If you are wearing a military-style overcoat, it is best to choose high lace-up boots with thick soles. The cocoon coat is quite picky in terms of footwear; it is worn with stiletto heeled pumps, heeled ankle boots with tractor soles, flat boots, and stocking boots. Oversized outerwear requires open ankles, so choose pumps, sandals, and sneakers. Stocking boots would be appropriate, but rough boots and boots with wide tops are not recommended.
Experiment with color! Of course, classic black boots and shoes will go with any outfit, but to make the look more individual and balanced, take a closer look at beige and cream, burgundy and khaki, dark blue and dark gray boots, choosing them to match, if not the coat itself, either a scarf, gloves or a headdress.
In addition to the white shirt, stylists call the vest a full participant in the basic wardrobe. This item not only never goes out of style, but also makes your look younger and fresher.
A black coat is a thing for all times. Such clothes never go out of fashion, they always look stylish, attractive and interesting. And if you have an idea of what to wear with a black coat and what things to combine it with, then with this outerwear you can create many expressive and memorable images.
A black coat is one of those wardrobe items that never goes out of style. Such clothes always look stylish. Depending on the chosen accessories, a black coat can be transformed beyond recognition, turning its owner into a vamp, a strict intellectual, a romantic young lady, or an imperious businesswoman.
What to wear with a black classic coat photo 2018 looks
Black is a neutral color, so any outfit will go with a black coat. The only rule we recommend following is not to wear an outfit consisting of four or more colors. That is, four colors is still ok, and especially if the colors are chosen correctly, but no more than that. Unless, of course, you want your eyes to dazzle.
A black classic coat combined with a dark blue one will look very impressive. We don’t have a photo with a dress of this color and a coat, but we do have an image with dark blue jeans. And an excellent contrasting scarf that “makes” the look. We are not entirely sure that in the fall a coat and a hat should be worn with pumps, much less with sandals, but we do know for sure that a short or long classic black coat can be worn with green jeans.
Every fashionista should have this coat in 2018. Such a simple, black, classic coat that can be worn with almost anything. But it is true, black goes with everything, although it seems that a black base can be a little boring. But don't be afraid! Get inspired by street style and turn your look with a black coat into something very stylish, fashionable and incredibly interesting. For example: Pair it with a colorful turtleneck to spice up your look.
What to wear with a black knee-length coat photo 2018 images
A sheath skirt or dress, A-line or just a straight-cut dress (for example, a shirt dress) is several centimeters longer than a coat. Why exactly these silhouettes? Because fuller options will be difficult to wear under a knee-length coat. Only if you are going to use the coat as a cape. An exception may also be coats with a fluffy hem. Under it, options with a tulip skirt or a circle skirt will be ideal.
A black knee-length coat, like any black clothing, can be combined with things of all colors. But the secret of the versatility of this wardrobe item is also that a black coat can be combined with clothes of any style. It looks equally good with trousers and skirts, classic business suits and casual jeans, “rocker” style clothes and delicate “girlish” outfits. Of course, a lot depends on the length of the coat and its style, but in general a black coat is very versatile.
Shoes can also be different. High boots, stiletto heels, sporty boots and even sneakers - a black coat can be combined with many models. If you pair it with black shoes, you will get a strict and discreet look. And if you choose bright boots or shoes, the look will be fresh and original. Baggy boyfriend jeans are ideal for a cropped (above the knees) black coat. All that remains is to add black shoes or ankle boots, as well as a casually knitted scarf, and the casual style look is ready.
What to wear with a black short coat 2018 new photos
A slightly flared short black coat goes perfectly with skirts, dresses and trousers of any style and even with jeans (narrow skinny jeans will look most impressive). The handbag that suits this ensemble is small in size and can be worn on the shoulder. A black military-style coat will also look very stylish with jeans.
A very original and stylish look can be created if you have a black cropped coat with fur or leather trim. Such models are usually used as winter options and most often have a medium length. This makes it possible to successfully combine them with skirts, trousers and jeans, as well as select unusual accessories. For example, in addition to the usual leather bags, pay attention to fur ones.
Classic black heeled boots, a medium rectangular bag and a bright neckerchief with a feminine floral print will complete the look. A proven secret is a scarf to go with a black coat or a handkerchief that matches the color of the handbag, but is slightly different in shade. In the case of a classic coat, you can also experiment with bright large earrings.
What to wear with a black oversized coat 2018 photo examples
Well, of course, the most logical and popular option in the last few years is to wear an oversized coat in the company of pumps, boyfriend jeans and a vest or any other laconic top. Another cute way to wear an oversized coat—especially if you don't feel like wearing stilettos all the time—is with sneakers, flats, or oxfords. Sneakers will add the oversized alto that is so necessary for a casual look and can be worn as part of an office style - with a pencil skirt, classic trousers or cropped breeches (if the dress code allows it). What a chic irony to your outfit, and you - a follower of the current trend “sport” -chic".
A bold decision would be to use two impressive volumes at once in one outfit. One - which is logical - is in a coat, and the second - for example, in trousers. But you should be careful when combining an oversized coat with flared trousers, as such an outfit may look disproportionate. It is best for girls above average height and model parameters to pay attention to this bold combination. As with flat shoes, it still makes sense for short girls to wear an oversized coat with heels to balance the figure and make it proportional.
Voluminous capes should be combined with a narrow bottom. Neutral tight trousers or jeans combined with brightly colored boots create a youthful and relaxed look, while a pencil skirt and high heels create a more formal and business-like option. In the first case, choose a bag that is soft and voluminous, and in the second, choose a small and clear-cut bag. Its color can be almost any and depends on the shoes and other accessories.
Which hat to wear with a black coat in 2018 photo
A black coat goes well with your hair down, but if the weather turns bad, you might want to consider a hat. It can be selected either to match the coat or in contrast. The first option is suitable for girls with a good complexion and fairly bright features. Contrasting hats are more versatile.
You can choose the color to your liking, as long as it matches the color of your skin, eyes, and hair. Hats in deep red and wine tones, cream and blue suit almost everyone. But you should be careful with hats in orange, mustard and lavender tones: they suit few people and often highlight flaws in appearance, for example, bruises under the eyes. Classic coats go well with felt hats. This tandem will add elegance to any look. The hat can be any shade, but it is desirable that it has a black trim, or that the shade of the hat matches other accessories.
Knitted voluminous hats and berets also go perfectly with a black coat. But if the hats are chosen for contrast, it is better that they are not the only color spot in the image. It is advisable to complement colored hats with matching scarves or gloves. Scarves also look good with classic black models. This headdress is suitable for girls with thin faces with clear features. Scarves usually don’t suit chubby people very well, making the look too rustic.
Fashionable styles of black women's coats 2018 photo news
Today you can find coats of any style. Let's focus only on the most popular ones. A long black coat should be chosen by girls of tall and medium height. To complement it, you can add shoes with thin heels or stilettos, stylish brooches and a bright scarf. Under the coat you can wear an office formal suit with a white blouse or a short dress.
A black tulip coat is an ideal option for romantic natures. A formal suit or sheath dress, a high-waisted pencil skirt and a corset or blouse are perfect for it. To create a less graceful, but more youthful look, wear boyfriend jeans or leggings. For footwear, boots, heeled ankle boots or over the knee boots are suitable. A must-have for all times - a classic black coat.
It will suit absolutely any girl. It can be worn with trousers, jeans, skirts, dresses and even shorts. However, when putting on a skirt, make sure that its hem does not stick out. Shoes can be anything: high-heeled boots, stocking boots, ankle boots. Various scarves, stoles, snoods, hats and berets will help complete the look.
