What Kind of Coat Do You Need
How many coats does a women need? In the 1950s, a woman needed at least five coats: a winter coat, a coat for spring and fall, a summer coat, a raincoat, and an evening coat. The emphasis is on the words “at least” because any one who could afford it owned these coats in several colors, styles and fabrics. As a result wardrobes were full of coats because every season women bought new clothes that need new matching coats.
The modern woman has fewer coats although she would prefer to have more. But because she often wears jackets it makes no sense to have a special coat for every occasion and certainly not every recreational activity. Nevertheless, a well-equipped wardrobe should contain apart from changing fashion trends and personal preferences, at least the following kinds of coats: a dark wool coat for business that can also be worn in the evening, a second, this time brown, wool coat that can be used for the office, smart casual and relaxed weekends, and a light raincoat for rainy weather.
What about the length? Ever since skirts became knee-length in the 1920s, ankle-length coats have not been necessary. They come back into fashion now and again but they do not play a major part in the classic wardrobe. But although ankles no longer need to be covered, the coat must always be longer than the skirt to prevent the creation of an unintentional layered look. The most suitable and versatile is the fairly straight, below the knee length coat, but the very straight version of the mini era and short coat of the 1990s are also very popular. Women who wear trousers have more choice so far as length is concerned, in that they can follow the fashion or their own taste. Read the rest of this entry »

The New Winter Coats Design
Fashion seems never ending. The trends are always constantly changing and this means that your old coat may seem outdated. The new trends are very sexy and feminine and the old designs have a more classic design. But this doesn’t mean that you have to spend a lot of money just to be fashionable. You can always turn your old coat into a new, trendy one.
There are not many colors to choose from old coats and probably yours has a neutral color as well. This cannot be changed, but you can change the model of your old coat with the help of a tailor.
If you don’t want to change the design because it’s a perfect fit, that will be fine, because you can still make your old coat become fashionable. You can add some details on your old coat to give it an entirely new look.
The best detail that you can add is a buckled belt. You will need to find a matching one, like, for example, if you have a black coat then you will definitely want a bright colored belt. You can make the belt stand out even more if you wear an all black winter outfit.
Details make all the difference. Add some ruffles like flower-styled ones that can be stitched to the coat. Read the rest of this entry »
