Muted tones are well enlivened by orange, yellow, dark blue, and purple. Brown shades are also successful, including beige, camel, and chocolate.
Styles
There are different styles of coats. Its appearance depends on the cut. The most common models include:
- classic – style with single-breasted fastening, belt at the waist. It can have a straight-fitting cut or a flared, trapezoidal A-line silhouette;
- robe – wrap style with a belt, folding collar;
- double-breasted – a model with a fastener in the form of two symmetrical rows of buttons, serving as the main decoration. Military style items have a double-breasted fastener;
- with a collar – a model with a collar with narrow or wide lapels, or a stand-up collar;
- cape – a wide sleeveless cape with armholes;
- with hood – a style with a folding headdress that protects from the wind;
- oversized – an O-shaped silhouette model with a loose fit, creating the impression of an oversized item, as demonstrated by the new collections of Valentino, Marc Jacobs, Gucci;
- with fur - a product decorated with fur trim along the collar, cuffs, pockets or hem. Fur inserts are a trend of every autumn-winter season.
In autumn and winter, classic fitted styles, short A-line silhouettes with 3/4 sleeves, leather and fur inserts are common. Knitted ones are also popular among some fashionistas.
Advice. According to the fashion rule, the longer the outerwear, the more it fits the body, and, conversely, the shorter it is, the more voluminous it is. But the shortened version is not necessarily O-shaped. It can be tight-fitting, decorated with a wide belt.
True, there is a wave of oversized models that can be long, but this option is suitable for tall girls with average figure parameters.
Length
Depending on the length, there are three types of coats:
- a short – has a hem above the knees. This is a good option for everyday looks that include skinny jeans (or boyfriend jeans with cuffs), comfortable sports shoes, ankle boots, boots with heels or wedges. Casual outerwear looks beautiful with lace-up boots;
- long – has a hem that reaches the knees or below. When creating a bow, you must take into account that the longer the top, the stricter and more elegant it looks. Therefore, the appearance of other items of clothing should correspond to this. Pencil skirts, sheath dresses, black straight trousers are the best solutions. Maxi visually elongates the silhouette and makes the legs longer when wearing high-heeled shoes.
- Short coat - as an additional option, for those who do not like too long and voluminous outerwear.
Materials, decor
Coats are made from many types of fabric - different densities, textures, finishes. The most commonly used materials when sewing are natural fibers, including cotton, flannel, wool, tweed, felt, cashmere, velvet, bouclé, and knitwear. They also add synthetic fibers - polyester, spandex, nylon, acrylic.
As a general rule, the colder the weather, the warmer the material should be. If jacquard, boucle, cotton gabardine, and fine wool are suitable for spring, then for autumn and winter you need to choose products made from dense natural fibers - wool, cashmere. Synthetic fabrics are undesirable for cold weather because they do not retain heat well.
There are styles of outerwear that combine two types of fabrics that look good together. Merino wool is well complemented by cashmere, alpaca, tweed and bouclé, as represented by the collections of the Chanel fashion house.
The design uses different types of decor: belts, buttons, buckles, patch pockets, zippers, embroidery, appliqués made of contrasting fabric (felt). Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle once appeared in public wearing a loose Erdem bottle coat embroidered with a black glittery floral pattern.
Thus, when choosing, focus on the season in which you will wear a coat and then either a winter or a demi-season coat will suit you.
Who suits olive color?
Thanks to its naturalness and consistency, this color is suitable for girls of any type of appearance. The main thing is to choose the right shade.
A classic olive-colored coat is suitable for girls with dark skin, but it can make fair-skinned girls less impressive. However, shades of pistachio or emerald will suit ladies of any color type.
Shades for the summer color type should differ in the complexity of tone. These include olive green, khaki, and protective. Coats of such tones will add chic and nobility to the appearance of a summer girl.
For those with an “autumn” appearance type, rich and complex tones are suitable. Coats in bright colors will decorate the wardrobe of representatives of this color type.
that spring girls give preference to light, muted shades of olive.
Colors for the “winter” type should be rich, bright and catchy, since muted shades will not be able to emphasize the high contrast of their appearance.
What to wear with
An olive, emerald, pistachio coat goes well with different things. Knowing what to wear with a green coat can easily create a beautiful, unique look. You can wear all types of jeans under it - straight, wide, skinny, flared. The blue shade of denim will successfully complement the cool palette.

Jeans are suitable, but without flares, classic trousers (or eco-leather).

White is also suitable, but only for special occasions, since white itself is quite bright. From a rich range you can use yellow, crimson, coral, blue, purple, but in this case the outfit should be two-tone to look harmonious.
