How to choose a coat?

Warm, comfortable and stylish. It would seem that only three important criteria that we adhere to when buying a coat. And, nevertheless, every time we go to the store, we have a question: how to choose the right coat?

First of all, when buying a coat, and any other thing you need to consider the characteristics of your figure.

As you know, there are only five types of figures:

1. "Hourglass" - about these people say "she has an aspen waist." Possessors of such a figure can boast of perfect proportions. And the best model is a coat that emphasizes the waist.
2. "Triangle / Pear" - the figure is characterized bywide hips and narrow shoulders. The task of the coat with this type of figure is to hide the visible difference between the shoulders and hips. To do this is very simple: it is enough to "give" volume to the top, for example, due to accessories, decorative buttons or a three-dimensional collar.
3. On the contrary, the broad shoulders and narrow hips are characteristicfor the "inverted triangle" type of figure. Accordingly, the task is opposite to the previous point: here you need to draw attention to the lower part of the body due to patch pockets, pleating, etc. You can also focus on the waist - this will help visually make the figure more proportional.
4. "Rectangle" - in women with such a figure, the volumechest, waist and hips are about the same. Here the task is to draw attention to the merits and distract from the shortcomings. For example, you can emphasize the waist with a belt or belt. If you have wide shoulders and hips without a clearly defined waist, then you need to give preference to models without overhead pockets and all sorts of "chips". If the girl is short, then the choice should be stopped on the shorter coat models.
5. To emphasize the waist and make the figure morefeminine - the task for the owners of the figure by the type of "oval / apple". The best option here is a fitted coat, single-breasted, longer than the widest part of the thigh and with a minimum of trim. As they say, "simple, but tasteful."

So, the model was defined, then - asto choose a coat by color? Our advice - do not rush into the trends of the season. Choose the color that you like and in which you feel comfortable, because a coat is a thing that you wear daily. So, convenience and comfort are its main components. In this case, note that the coat of red and burgundy shades emphasize the blush of the face, yellow - focuses on the summer tan, and for example, white color will give the person porcelain shine.

And, finally, the most important point is the choice of size. Trying on a coat, be sure to consider what kind of clothes you will wear under it. If it is thicker, then we take a bigger size, and vice versa. During the fitting, pay attention to the fact that there are no wrinkles under the arms, so that the coat is not prone and not stretched. Walk around the hall to make sure that the hem does not interfere with walking and check that the length of the sleeve is suitable.

Recently, the attention of the coat has been given to men. Therefore, often the question arises - how to choose a man's coat?

When buying, you also need to pay attention tofigure - the future of the coat should hide shortcomings and emphasize dignity. The length can be below the knees or be three-fourths of the full length. The first option is the most common and looks more formal. Full length is recommended for men of high growth - so their growth is visually somewhat shortened.

What kind of cut - single-breasted or double-breasted choose- depends on the situation. The latter is more strict in wearing and does not allow liberties (wearing "unbuttoned"), while single-breasted, on the contrary, has an advantage in terms of multifunctionality. Lapels, belt and other accessories depend on the features of the figure and the preferences of the man. And the choice of colors is the same as when choosing a business suit: depending on the purpose of the purchase: an important event or daily hikes, for example, to work.

So, it turns out, it's just right to choose a coat. It is enough to decide what you want, and you can safely go to the store!
