What we need to know about the coat
This is one of the most versatile types of clothing that allows you to create a simple and elegant look, restrained and solid. Correctly selected lines and outlines help to hide the flaws of the addition, emphasize the winning advantages.
The current mini looks like an elongated warm jacket. Thick material is used for sewing: drape, cashmere, wool, tweed. Most models have a satin lining on the back.
This piece of clothing appeared in ancient times and has undergone many metamorphoses since then. The first prototypes originated from the cloak, which was used as far back as the Roman Empire. It was made from 100% wool and was attached to the neck with a button or pin. For many centuries, the cloak protected from bad weather and cold weather.
The silhouette, similar to today's trends, was created in the 15th century in Spain. It was a tweed cape with a deep hood, to which wide sleeves were later sewn.
In the 18th century, a dressing coat appeared - a frock coat for riding. It had sleeves, stand-up collar, lapels, button closure. The hem covered the knees, the dressing jacket was loved by men from high society who appreciated chic and convenience.
A great contribution to the development of the fashion trend was made by the ground forces, for which single-breasted and double-breasted overcoats with folding collars were sewn, which protected from the wind in winter, during a storm. Cutters liked this functionality, they began to produce goods similar in appearance to the civilian population, changing the texture of the material.
Modern tweeds began ubiquitous use by men and women in the 19th century. Fashion designers of the last century have made a great contribution to the development of new lines, experimenting with fabrics and patterns.
Who suits
The short coat can be worn by women of any age and physique. The only recommendation is to choose the right style, length, texture and pattern.
When choosing, be guided by the features of your constitution:
- Common among girls pear figure needs to compensate for the volume in the upper torso. Voluminous asymmetric collars, clamps, hoods, fur trim are suitable for them.
- Broad shoulders and narrow hips - Buy a product that enhances the lower torso. The best choice is a trapezoidal trench coat, a model with a peplum, large patch pockets.
- With no waist you need to pick up a mini with a belt, an asymmetrical hem. It is better to refuse a narrow cut.
- Outline "hourglass" does not need to be adjusted, any style suits him, provided that the girl has an average height and a slender physique.
- For young ladies vertically challenged you need to give preference to buying short mini with straight lines of patterns. High - to the knee, fitted.
Styles
Short trench coats do not go out of fashion: trapeze and elongated jackets are still appropriate, fitted models are popular.Recently, the oversized style has been confidently conquering the market - modern dynamic women no longer want to constrain their movements with rigid styles and the framework of the classics.

The production uses soft plastic materials: cashmere, wool. Such a product can be decorated with a belt if you want to emphasize the silhouette or without it, if you need to veil the flaws.
Modern tweeds are equipped with a hood, which is very convenient for those who do not like hats. In a changing urban climate, such a thing will become indispensable for every day. Designers allow the presence of a trim with fur on the hood, which makes this model even more sophisticated and richer.
The “military” trend remains popular with bright prints and fashionable appliqués. Brutality is leveled by the unusual structure of the material, jewelry, inserts, luxurious buttons. Any girl will feel like a queen in such an expensive outfit.

What to wear with - the right combination of things
The classic cropped midi is the perfect base for any wardrobe, provided the rest of the garments are carefully chosen. It is important to be able to combine lengths and proportions, as well as textures and styles.
Any fashionista at least once asked herself the question: "What to combine with a short coat?"
Indeed, this version of outerwear requires a more intent creation of the image. Try it on with a maxi skirt or skinny leggings, sometimes wide flared trousers are appropriate.
Accentuate the waist with a leather belt, tie a silk scarf around your neck and you will have a very feminine look.
When choosing to create a daytime "bow", you need to pay attention to the combination of lengths so as not to spoil the proportions of your figure.
Focus on slender legs using miniskirts, shorts, tight-fitting trousers, jeans. Choose shoes that accentuate graceful ankles. Tall girls with long legs can wear capri pants.
The demi-season short trench coat is perfectly combined with almost any stylistic direction. It will add elegance and urban chic to your everyday outfit.
Short models shorten the figure, so use lengthening elements: maxi skirts, heels, handbags with a long harness, hanging scarves.
How to choose shoes
Short outerwear is perfectly complemented by high-toed boots. A knee-length trench coat looks great with tight over the knee boots and ankle boots.
On a warm autumn day, stylists suggest wearing oxfords and wedge slip-ons. If in doubt about the choice, then wear leggings with high knee-high boots. This option always looks great and is suitable for any weather.
Also good options are ankle boots, cowboy shirts, boots, pumps, sandals. For each top, you need to select a specific shoe model. The trend of the last season is sandals with tights. However, here you need the perfect flair for the combination of all the elements.
Sandals are allowed only in warm weather, use a laconic design without thin straps and weaves. There must be a gap between the hem and the shoes, otherwise your torso runs the risk of turning into a shapeless something. Long skirts cannot go to the floor, merging of lines is permissible only for stocking boots.
Mini clothes have certain rules for combining with the bottom:
- long boots look advantageous on slender legs, dressed in tight-fitting pants;
- it is undesirable for the hem to coincide with the edge of the skirt or dress, otherwise it will create additional volume and shorten the figure;
- an elegant image is created by sandals, shoes, stiletto ankle boots;
- a straight classic jacket is combined with a flat sole or wedge boots;
- sneakers are suitable for military and oversized style, while trousers should open the ankle.
The short silhouette visually lands the figure. To fix the situation, choose shoes or boots with heels.
