Varieties

Like any wardrobe item, women's outerwear has a huge number of varieties. It would seem that the most important factor when choosing should be the weather conditions (season), based on which the purchase is made. However, the varieties of women's clothing also differ greatly depending on style, age, lifestyle or personal preferences.

Jackets

Jackets are the most comfortable and sporty type of outerwear, often worn in a more subtle or formal manner than the original style dictates.

The following types of jackets have earned particular popularity and recognition:

• Sports jackets (the German company Puma is very popular today);
• Downy;
• Lightweight jackets;
• Leather;
• Leather jackets.

The most fashionable outerwear this season is lightweight puffer jackets; they are made from raincoat fabric and filled with down. Thanks to the stitching with a medium-sized pattern, the jacket does not look bulky, but at the same time it is quite warm.

Today, a leather jacket is widely used by women of any status in everyday life. A designer jacket can add luxury to an image; it can be used to complement even an evening dress or a classic-cut business suit.

Biker jackets are a type of leather jacket that is no less popular among fashionistas or girls belonging to various subcultures. A rougher version made of thick black leather has a large number of stripes or inscriptions. There is a myth that the fashion for leather jackets appeared not only because of various subcultures, and the material, and various elements that were previously used on military uniforms. Not only jackets took their distinctive features from there; coats can have shoulder straps or buttons in two columns, which looks very impressive.

Coat

The coat has always been considered a definite classic in both men's and women's wardrobes. However, of course, today fashion trends have greatly expanded the possibilities of wearing this item of clothing. Now it is not necessary for the coat to have a straight or fitted style and to be worn exclusively with a dress or business suit.

In a woman's wardrobe, demi-season outerwear is especially important; you spend most of the year wearing it. Depending on the weather, shoes, accessories, and other components will change, but not the coat. Straight styles in muted colors look great: gray, beige, black, ocher, brown. Clothes for older women should also be chosen in this color scheme. To “revive” gray sets and make them brighter, it is better to use large accessories in noble, but not boring shades. This category includes high-quality jewelry, glasses with matte frames, stylish hats, thick scarves, and bags.

For large women's outerwear, especially coats and raincoats, it is better to use thick fabrics. In addition, a correctly selected size will help a large woman hide flaws and bulkiness of her figure due to the fact that outerwear will not fit the body.

Cloaks

Stylish outerwear that can make any look elegant and modern. For several years in a row, flesh-colored raincoats (less often in black, ocher or khaki) have remained at the peak of trends for both girls and women 40 years old, 45 and older. Trench coats have become the second love after berets for Parisians, trendsetters among women all over the world. The combination of outerwear with such a headdress also looks great. They use raincoats or trench coats everywhere: going out or walking in the park with the dog - by choosing the right shoes and accessories, you can create hundreds of thousands of unique looks with the same raincoat.

Raincoats go well with trousers, jeans, shirts, sweaters and in general with any style; they are a universal item in their own way. They are present in the collections of many designers in completely different variations: a black coat made of patent leather, a classic beige with a leopard belt, a marine-themed coat (as in the latest Chanel show), gentle or absolutely spring. List of brands and brands of women's clothing:

• Zara;
• Gap;
• Baon;
• H&M;
• Lost INK;
• Mango;
• United colors of Benetton.

If you are interested in luxury branded clothing, then you should consider:

• Prada,
• Hugo Boss
• Givenchy,
• Louis Vuitton,
• Massimo Dutti.

In the new season, Italian outerwear of the Tommy Hilfiger brand is complemented by unusual belts and large brooches, which set the right accents and make the sets absolutely unique. Elite clothing is very different from ordinary clothing precisely because of the abundance of details, through which the status of the owner is shown.

Top straps are often made from the same material as clothing. In other cases, it is leather or colored fabric woven into a tight rope. Such belts are most often used for raincoats, due to which they create an ideal combination with the image. In fact, it is worth considering that outerwear should be perceived not only as a separate item that serves to retain heat, but also as the main part of the image.

Windbreakers

Have a spring walk coming up, but you doubt whether it will start to rain? Most often, a windbreaker is the way out of this situation. It is lightweight and is the best women's outerwear for the park. Models can vary dramatically: a sporty, high-quality raincoat from Finland or a jacket with floral prints or heavy embellishments. Finnish outerwear is practical; the main goal of the manufacturer is to protect girls from bad weather during long walks or hiking in the mountains. Designers are trying to add versatility to practicality so that the windbreaker can serve as a beautiful addition to a summer dress or suit. Today, sports outerwear for women is quite elegant and can be presented on world catwalks along with other popular trends. As for the manufacturer, not only jackets and windbreakers, but in principle all Finnish women's clothing have earned great trust among Russian customers, thanks to their excellent quality and reasonable price.

Review of materials

Outerwear for women should not only look attractive, but also perform its main functions. Let's look at the different types of clothing depending on their characteristics, season and intended purpose. First of all, the functionality or purpose of outerwear depends on the materials and fabric used.

Women's jackets and down jackets are most often made of light, thin material and filled with a thick layer of insulation, so that you will not freeze in a down coat even during severe frosts. As an outer layer, artificially synthesized fibers are usually used, on the basis of which the fabric is made: polyester, nylon, polyamide. Their main advantages are durability, practicality, low price and a wide variety of colors and designs. Bird down, which has water-repellent properties, is used as filler; goose down is the most popular.

In the manufacture of sports jackets, a special “membrane” technology is used to control the temperature difference between the human body and the surrounding air. To create this effect, the jacket is coated with a special composition. But be careful, the quality of the coating deteriorates with repeated washing.

Coats are divided by season, wool is worn in winter, it looks noble, elegant and incredibly warm. There are many variations of insulating linings: from padding polyester to natural fur. Wool-based materials are used in the manufacture of coats, but they are considered inferior to their ancestor, if you do not take into account angora and cashmere.

Cashmere is a very soft and expensive material made from the highest quality wool. It is much easier to find coats made of tweed, drape, boucle or similar fabrics. Drape is a subtype of woolen fabric, which, depending on the manufacturing method, may have a different fiber structure.

Leather jackets and biker jackets are made from various types of leather: natural, suede leather, eco-leather, suede. You are probably familiar with the qualities of the first two materials, let’s look at the remaining ones. Suede – has a velvety structure, quite sensitive to touch. However, the material is very durable and has water-repellent properties. Eco-leather is an analogue of natural leather, which fully corresponds to its technical and visual characteristics, except that animal skins are not used in its production.

Coat - timeless clothing

The coat is fashionable outerwear for fall 2020 for women over 50, and for fashionistas of a younger age. It is only important to choose the right model.

Oversized models are still in great demand among fashionistas under 40. They go perfectly with classic dresses, skirts and suits, with jeans, and leggings.

If you want to wear more classic clothes, choose a knee-length or ankle-length wrap coat. This option with a belt is good for slimming, allows you to visually elongate your figure and give the image a femininity. A wrap coat that reaches knee length and below should be worn with heeled shoes. Let it be a boot with a narrow or wide top, or pumps. In such outer clothing, as they say, both in the feast and in the world.

A special feature for an autumn coat is a fur collar. Following the “green” direction, designers propose making it from faux fur. This material looks almost no different from natural material. But it looks no less noble.
