The previous article introduced the coat style in detail.
Today I will give you some additional ideas for choosing a coat from the details such as coat fabric and length.
Fabrics
The fabric determines the warmth and texture of a coat. The main fabrics of coats include the following ;Polyester blend, wool, cashmere, alpaca, etc.
Polyester blend is an artificial fiber and feels hard. Many more stylish coats contain more or less this ingredient, and when mixed with other materials, 100% polyester coats should be chosen carefully, as the fabric feels and feels relatively low-end.
Wool is wool from sheep and is moderately priced. However, compared to cashmere, which is heavier, it feels less delicate and has moderate warmth retention. The disadvantage is that it shrinks easily and is easily eaten by insects.
Cashmere is the bottom layer of fine hair from goats, so it feels softer and the suede surface has a soft luster. With better warmth, cashmere is generally lighter than wool coats.
There are many wool + cashmere mixed fabrics on the market. The higher the cashmere content, the warmer it is. Of course, the price is also proportional.
Alpaca wool, as the name suggests, is the hair from alpacas. The words “Albaca”, “Suli” and “Beibei” on the market actually refer to alpaca wool. Alpaca fabric has a smooth feel, high comfort and excellent warmth retention.
When choosing a coat, you should not only look at the title of the product, but also carefully look at the composition and content of the fabric, combined with the drape of the coat. In terms of fall, a good drape will make you look taller and slimmer.
Two coat lengths
There are generally several types of coat lengths: short (length above and below the crotch) , mid-length (length to the thigh), long (over the knee), extra-long (length to the ankle).
Choose the short style with pear-shaped body carefully, and the first choice for small people. You can consider highlighting your waistline when wearing it, which will make your waist-to-hip ratio look good.
The mid-length style is more neat and suitable for most body shapes and heights. However, because the length is just above the knee, the leg shape For girls who are not too straight, it is recommended to wear straight pants or skirts on the lower body.
On the premise that the shape is good, a long coat should be the most suitable length for winter wear. It is also suitable for small people. The lower body can be matched with skirts, short boots and other items.
Choose a long coat that can cover the thickest part of your calf and expose your ankles. For example, if you are 15cm tall, the most suitable length is 95-100cm.
If you are taller or shorter, you can directly add or subtract the height difference based on this value to determine the most suitable coat length. For example, the height difference between MM 150 and MM 154 is 4, so the most suitable length of coat is 91-96.
The extra-long style is more flattering in length and is more suitable for layering when worn open. But when buttoned up, it will weigh down your height. It is not recommended for petite people to try.
In addition to the style, fabric, and length, some small details such as the shoulder line and collar of the coat will actually affect the visual effect of wearing it.
Three
Wide shoulders When choosing a coat, try to avoid shoulder lines that are too wide, shoulder pads and overly designed shoulders. For cumbersome styles, drop-shoulder styles are preferred to weaken the shoulder lines.
If the shoulders are narrow or have slipped shoulders, try to choose a coat with obvious shoulder lines to avoid dropped shoulders and Raglan style.
Four
Right-shoulder sleeves, dropped-shoulder sleeves, Japanese-style sleeves, and raglan sleeves are all acceptable, but the key point is not It is wide, loose and shapeless. Taking the shoulder sleeves as an example, the shoulder width is 36-39CM.
Five
The collar should not be too large, not exceeding shoulder width 1/2 of the neckline, the neckline should not be too low, and the lowest line of the neckline opening should not be lower than the waistline.
Women with thicker sides and backs��, avoid styles with complicated designs on the neckline and shoulders. H-shaped styles with obvious shoulder lines are preferred, and try to choose slim-fitting and simple styles for inner wear.
Six
If the coat pockets and buttons have a certain presence, for example, the location of the square veneer pockets is best Near the crotch.
Similarly, it is best to position the uppermost button upward from the waist, which will visually increase the waistline, and vice versa. The lower you go, the higher you press up. The sleeve length should not be too short or too long, just enough to reach the tiger’s mouth.
In short, small people’s first choice is short coat lengths near the crotch and mid-length coats above the knees. Don’t get stuck right at the knees, and try to avoid over-long coats. payment.
When choosing a long coat, the lower body should not be too loose. It is best to highlight the calves and ankles.
Try to choose coats in basic colors such as black/white/grey/beige/brown. Colored coats are eye-catching, but they are more selective in terms of occasion and color matching. More demanding.
Use more accessories such as scarves and hats, which not only enriches your outfit, but also shifts the visual focus to the upper part, making you look slimmer and taller.
