Women's leather coat is one of the main elements of a basic wardrobe for fall and winter. This type of outerwear draws attention to its owner, gives her sophistication and grace.

So what's so special about it?
So why are these clothes so popular?
There are several reasons for this:
- Such models are universal. You can go to work, on a date, or to meet with your girlfriends - and always look appropriate.
- Expensive material and exquisite appearance of any product emphasize the status of their owner.
- In most cases, a coat can be easily combined with things of any style. It is worth choosing the right style and color to combine the item with romantic skirts, extravagant blouses or rough boots.
But quality material plays a decisive role. As you know, leather is durable and comfortable in everyday wear. Even if you wear the product every day and actively unfasten the zipper or buttons, the fabric will not be erased or deformed.
It retains heat, allows air to pass through and does not crack at low temperatures. The material easily tolerates staining, so in stores it will be possible to find a model of both the basic and the brightest colors. And most importantly, every year the product will only look more noble.
If a fashionista deliberately refuses genuine leather products because of her love for animals or for other reasons, she can still pamper herself with fashionable autumn clothes. Artificial leather costs an order of magnitude less, but has excellent performance characteristics - it is easy to clean, keeps its shape and retains its color for a long time.
Styles for every taste
Perhaps not a single fashionista will say exactly how many cuts and varieties of leather outerwear exist. Still, the most popular styles and silhouettes are familiar to everyone.
The English style stands out from other fashion trends primarily with straight lines and laconic fittings.
The product will definitely have straight shoulders, a simple cut, a double-breasted collar and a belt at the waist. Most of all, it resembles an elongated men's jacket.
The more feminine cut - the swinger - is recognizable for its cropped sleeves and flared skirt. Sleeves ¾ allow the fashionista to experiment with gloves, a skirt adds playfulness to the look, and a voluminous hood protects from the elements.
If an English coat, a swinger or a trench coat are worn mainly in the fall, then in winter, warmed models are more relevant.
Here's how they differ:
- insulated with padding polyester or natural wool;
- have fur trim on sleeves, collars or pockets;
- withstands temperatures up to -30 degrees.
This winter jacket can be either fitted or loose. The first option gives the image of femininity and elegance, and the second is more suitable for lovers of sports style.
Residents of cold regions should give preference to loose styles.
After all, it is much easier to wear a warm sweater under them. Moreover, even a loose silhouette can be stylish and beautiful.
Will decorate any girl
The coat is selected based on the type of figure and silhouette.
Stylists divide all female figures into several groups:
- Hourglass - the volume of the hips and shoulders is approximately equal.
- Pear - the hips are much wider than the shoulders.
- Inverted triangle - Broad, athletic shoulders and slender legs.
- Apple - slender legs and graceful shoulders, but a little extra weight in the abdomen.
- The rectangle is a figure without pronounced hips and chest.
Knowing your body type, you can just look at this table and find out which cut will best emphasize the dignity of your figure.
| Hourglass | Any options are suitable |
| Pear | Crisp shoulders, flared hem, straight button row |
| Inverted triangle | Accent waist, wide turn-down collar and V neckline |
| Apple | Loose, semi-snug fit |
| Rectangle | Wide contrast belt at the waist |
Some examples:
From space to giraffe
Until a few years ago, in autumn and winter, the streets were filled with women in black or brown clothes. Today, fashion designers do not accept dullness and sew brighter coats.
Undoubtedly, you need to focus on the trends of 2019. But don't forget about individuality.
A suitable shade is chosen and depends on the color type: Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter. It is better to let the clothes emphasize the natural complexion of the face, eyes and hair, rather than be the most fashionable, but inappropriate.
This year, the variety of fashionable colors is a pleasant surprise.
Especially relevant:
- Intense red color reminiscent of hot chili peppers.
- A cosmic palette - from deep blue or purple to starry silver.
- Appetizing yellow-orange, like cheese or tangerine.
- Delicate peach and vanilla.
For those fashionistas who find monotony too boring, stylists have prepared a selection of trendy prints and patterns:
- Animal print - leopard, giraffe, snake or cow in different shades.
- Large flowers.
- Timeless classics - geometric patterns, polka dots, stripes or checks.
A leather item can be decorated with a trendy “goose foot” or oriental “arabesque” pattern.
Simple selection rules
Surely every fashionista will remember one or more stories when a thing was bought, but never worn: the owner was simply disappointed in the purchase.
In order not to waste money and wear new outerwear for a long time, you just need to know the rules for choosing:
- Decide on the material. Pork and veal will be the most budgetary, and you will have to pay a lot for the python. The hit of the season is lacquer material, brighter, but less durable. Suede, on the other hand, adds nobility, but does not protect at all from rain and sleet.
- Analyze style. Usually a jacket or a raincoat is purchased for several years, so it is better if the novelty matches the style with the rest of the clothes.
- Choose length. Midi models are in trend, hiding the knees and covering the bootlegs.
- We select the right color. It also needs to fit into your existing wardrobe.
The lining and fittings must be securely sewn, the seams must be neat and even. It is worth measuring a novelty with the kit with which it will subsequently be worn.
The thing should not puff up on the back, press in the armpit area. Attention to the sleeves: ideally, they end exactly in the middle of the palm.
Fitting is exactly the stage where the help of friends may be needed. Don't be afraid to ask for advice and listen to outside opinions.
There is something new in every season
No matter how ideally the thing fits on the figure, no matter how it emphasizes the natural beauty, it is always nice to know that the coat corresponds to the trends of the current season.
Here's a quick checklist to know what to look for when choosing:
- Sheepskin coats quickly returned to fashion. True, now cropped models are relevant, which barely cover the waist and hips. But you can play with the colors - the most reputable bloggers have already bought themselves pink and gray sheepskin coats with fur.
- If the classics are long and free.Convenience is in vogue, so you should pay attention to oversize and ankle length.
- Quilted items have taken over fashion catwalks. Moreover, such sewing is allowed not only on fitted silhouettes, but also on loose robes.
Another trend that many fashionistas liked is the popularity of faux fur. Leather products are easily supplemented with inserts from other materials, including fur. It is used to decorate collars, sleeves, pockets or inner lining.
Wearing eco-friendly materials is something to be proud of this year. Therefore, you can safely choose colored eco-fur in addition to the same bright and colored eco-leather.
What is the couturier's fantasy capable of?
Many designers have offered their own interpretations of the standard leather outerwear:
- Ulyana Sergeenko has created a spectacular raincoat in a basic shade. Ankle-length hides flaws, and a form-fitting top accentuates the merits.
- Jean-Paul Gaultier was inspired by the combination of leather and fur. To make the classic not boring, the designer added brightness. His models are deep red.
- Valentino chose a different shade - rich green. His model is more feminine. Despite the closed neckline, the cut accentuates the legs and accentuates the waist.
Recommendations from stylists and bloggers
Since this wardrobe item is usually bought several years in advance, it is important to be able to combine it correctly. The elongated, slightly flared cut can be complemented with the same feminine set for every day - a midi skirt and a stylish chunky knit jumper.
For a more brutal coat, for example, a straight and cropped coat with many pockets, regular jeans and an oversized sweater are suitable. Want to mix styles and create unexpected combinations?
Jeans can be easily changed to a pleated maxi skirt made of dense fabric.
What to do with a sheepskin coat?
Bloggers and stylists complement it with flared trousers, culottes or chinos. However, there is an important nuance here that not all girls take into account: not every flare on jeans is relevant. In 2019, only the extension from the knees looks appropriate.
Another trendy fit - loose and straight - looks great with sneakers and straight trousers. It is recommended to wear classic shirts upstairs.
Owners of large sizes can use the same rules. The main thing is to correctly place accents and remember the proportions. More vertical lines, a marked waist, a calm color - these are the ingredients for success.
Shoes and accessories complete the whole set
No matter how ideally the coat and dress complement each other, it is the shoes and accessories that finally “collect” the image.
The variety of winter and autumn shoes, with which you can wear demi-season and insulated clothes, pleasantly surprises:
- Knee high boots. The main mistake girls make is the choice of outdated models. This season, flashy details, fur trims, ankle gathers are banned. And most importantly, the bottom edge of the skirt should always cover the top of the bootleg.
- Treads. A spectacular and elegant way to highlight the beauty of your legs. In order not to pass the whole image vulgar, it is better to complement the boots with a large bag.
- Boots. Convenience and comfort will be provided if you combine boots with a dress in a casual style and complement with a city backpack.
- Sneakers. Demi-season version that goes well with both a clutch and a shopping bag.
The leather product goes well with vintage felt hats, large brooches or light satin shawls around the neck, bag. The main thing is not to overdo it. Emphasis on one thing.
How to buy and not go broke
The first coats appear on store shelves in August. You can buy this wardrobe item both in chain stores (for example, Zara and Mango always offer up-to-date silhouettes) and in online showrooms (you can collect a set from your favorite blogger on Instagram using the TopTop store or the specialized boutique ILovePalto).As a rule, you will have to allocate from 5-7 thousand rubles for the purchase.
You can save a little if you order clothes from Turkey or China. Sometimes the quality of tailoring is no worse, but the price is much more attractive.
If the budget allows, you can order tailoring to order or go to the Snow Queen boutique. And in fact, and in another case, the price starts from 15-20 thousand, excluding discounts and promotions. However, you can be sure of the quality of the fabric and accessories.
If, when choosing, all the nuances are taken into account - both the figure, and the color, and the cut - then the thing will become a lifesaver in any situation.
Does it make sense to save on basic items in your wardrobe?
Practice shows that it is much more profitable to buy an outfit made of expensive, high-quality fabric once, and then wear it for at least another 5 years.
