As sad as it is to say, summer always ends and takes away the rich colors with it. Then follows a short time of golden autumn, after which the bright colors disappear completely, giving way to rather dull colors.
Does this make you sad? You don't want to blend in with the whims of nature? Well, this is quite possible, the main thing is to choose a colorful wardrobe. And you should start with a coat, because you definitely won’t leave the house without it. What color coat will help you stand out from the surrounding reality, feel attractive and passionate? Red! And our review about it:
What to wear with a short red coat
immediately agree that by short we mean up to the knee and above. So, a red coat of this length can go well with jeans.
Firstly , with blue boyfriends (possibly torn). We recommend pairing them with a simple white shirt and black or white heeled pumps (or white sneakers).
Secondly , with dark blue flared jeans. It is better if the coat has a belt. Shoes should be chosen with heels.
Thirdly , dark skinny jeans. They will look great with high boots. You can tuck a white or black blouse into them, or pick up a silk top or a voluminous sweater in a warm shade.
Fourthly , black ripped skinny jeans. A coat with hinged loops and a hood would go well with these, and a sweatshirt underneath the coat.
What about dresses and skirts? For a coat, choose either maxi length or knee length (so that it hides the outfit). Color range: black, beige, milky, dark blue, emerald, gold, gray. Floral and animal prints are welcome. In addition, you can wear fairly thick tights.
A short red coat is a possible element of a look with a trouser suit in white or black, leather skinny trousers, leather shorts, a silk shirt dress in black or cream.
Rule No. 5: red monochrome + contrast element
In its pure form, it is boring, blind and aggressive. Therefore, you cannot do without a color addition: you will need a contrasting bag, sweater or shoes, a play on the shades of the main paint itself, muted “animal” prints. The presence of such elements will reduce the negative effect that an abundance of red produces.
A red coat is an accessory in itself, so it does not tolerate aggressive and bright color combinations. And flashy makeup would not be appropriate here either. Juicy red lipstick looks especially ridiculous. It is better to replace it with softer and lighter shades or even nude colors.
What to wear with a long red coat
not difficult to guess that here we are talking about a coat whose length is below the knee (midi, maxi variations). In this story, blue boyfriend jeans (worn and torn as well), pumps and white sneakers are still appropriate. They are joined by straight, rolled-up jeans, turtlenecks in warm shades and slightly rough heeled ankle boots.
Next come cropped trousers, black, beige, checkered (blue-red-black). Pair them with a simple T-shirt and heeled pumps for a very stylish look. We also recommend a look consisting of leather trousers (leggings are possible), a black/red sweater and black or white sneakers. You can’t imagine a better place for walking, and you definitely won’t be left deprived of admiring glances.
Dresses and skirts are midi length. Straight, fitted, slightly flared at the bottom. These can be simple T-shirt dresses or shirts, textured pleated skirts, long sleeve dresses.
Red coat without collar
this coat with everything that was mentioned in the previous paragraphs, depending on the length, of course. A variety of jeans and cropped trousers will look great with it. Black and cream dresses, white shirts. Cozy sweaters in warm colors and turtlenecks, decorated with necklaces with stones.
are suitable: sneakers, thick-heeled ankle boots, high boots, pumps, loafers and oxfords. It would seem that this coat does not require a separate item, but we wanted to draw your attention to this model as one of the most stylish. There is no need to burden it with scarves (it’s better to wear something with a high neck in case of cold weather), it is interesting in itself and creates a special silhouette. We offer some photographic examples:
Which scarf and hat to wear with a red coat
- gray or off-white knitted scarf
- red silk scarf or wool scarf
- black snood
- voluminous scarf or stole in a checkered pattern (red, burgundy, grey, blue, black)
- a black or dark blue hat with a not too wide brim
- grey, black, milky, red beret
- fur hat made of gray, black, light brown fur
Briefly about color combinations
Determining the right combination in a set is half the success; even expensive accessories, chosen without taste, will instantly cheapen the look and create a repulsive, cheap impression
For quick identification, there is a color scheme in the form of a circle divided into twelve sectors with the main colors and their shades represented in it.
What can we learn from this diagram?
- White. Suitable for all colors, giving them brightness.
- Black. Gives depth and dilutes any color.
- Grey. Goes with almost everything.
- Pair combinations. Red with white, blue and black. Burgundy with blue and gray. Brown and beige. Warm blueberry and cool turquoise, brown and mint. Dark blue with white or red, turquoise with pink.
What accessories to wear with a red coat
Don't forget about other accessories, they are powerful weapons. Sunglasses and regular glasses with black frames, a red or black handbag with a thin strap, leather gloves matching the color of the handbag, elegant gold jewelry with stones, belts.
THE END
Accessories to add to your look
One of the main accessories for outerwear is a headdress. It can be either a hat (then the image will be elegant and businesslike), or a hat and a beret (in this case, you can create a casual or formal look, romantic and even sporty). A scarf is another must-have attribute for chilly autumn days. Often a scarf and a headdress make up one set, which successfully emphasizes the coat .
Sometimes women get lost when choosing the colors of these accessories. What tones will decorate an already bright coat of rich red color? How not to make the image “tacky,” overloaded and tasteless? If such questions arise, it is better to take proven advice from stylists and choose accessories in classic colors: black, brown or white . In this case, the image will be chic.
A bag is another necessary accessory. In order for it to decorate the ensemble, it is important to consider the following nuances:
- it is better to refuse models with bright elements (rhinestones, sequins, fur inserts, buckles, massive chains);
- a patent leather bag will not decorate a coat (these two rather bright items together will look ridiculous and too daring);
- You shouldn’t experiment with the color of the bag (it’s good if it’s classic black, beige or dark brown).
To make the right choice, it is recommended to pay attention to the classic model with a minimum number of decorative details . A medium-sized square or rectangular bag, as well as a small leather or suede clutch, looks good.
You can complement the elegant bag with black-framed glasses and leather gloves.
