On the catwalks, you can often see a coat without sleeves. What is the name of this new design art and what to wear with?
Women’s sleeveless coat has been trending for several seasons. At first, the European ladies appreciated the novelty: a convenient thing when there is no frost, but the heat has not come yet.
In Russia, at first, fashionistas were in no hurry to buy an unusual thing in their wardrobe. It was not entirely clear how and what to wear such clothes with.
Sleeveless coat - what is the name of such clothes?
Many women have coats in their wardrobe. They differ in style, material and can be perfect in different colors. But for those who want to stand out against the general background, designers offer to pay attention to the cape.
What is it? In fact, this is the same coat, but only without sleeves. The material from which the models are sewn is also diverse. For warm autumn days, the coat can be made of jacquard and outwardly resemble a warm jacket.
For colder weather, sleeveless coats are made of wool, tweed or cashmere. Such outerwear is especially appreciated by women who often spend time behind the wheel. As a rule, sleeves greatly interfere with driving, and it’s not very convenient to sit in voluminous clothes in a car. But a thin coat with slots for hands is a great solution.
Like regular
outerwear, capes are different. In stores you can see a cape with and without a hood, with a belt and flared, in the form of a jacket or with slots for the hands. The colors and materials are also diverse. Fashionistas will always pick up a suitable option for all occasions.
When to wear a cape?
If the coat is sewn from tweed or wool, then wear it in the fall, when there is still no severe frosts. A sweater with warm sleeves is always worn under it, because the cape in this place will not warm you.
Lighter cashmere or jacquard sleeveless coats are great for spring. When the sun is already shining on the street, but still there is not enough heat, the cape is worn over a turtleneck or a light sweater.
Like a regular coat, sleeveless clothes can be complemented with a scarf and gloves, but always long.
But still, despite all the advantages, sleeveless outerwear does not belong to the category of practical ones. But if a woman does not plan to be in the cold for a long time and for cold days there is another option, then why not diversify her wardrobe?
Summer coats look especially impressive . They are usually made of lightweight cotton jacquard and worn over the dress. You can wear it in the evening, when the midday heat subsides, or at a gala event.
How to combine a sleeveless coat?
It all depends on the style of the coat itself. But jeans or straight pants will always fit this outfit. Any shoes can be worn under them, be it high heel shoes or elegant shoes.
Underneath, it is preferable to wear a turtleneck or jacket. If the sleeveless coat is made of thin fabric, the silk blouse looks beautiful. In this case, the coat gives some comfort and warmth.
If the cape has a classic knee length, then you can wear a skirt. But shoes should be careful. If the coat is decorated with a massive collar, the shoes will be out of place. Only boots or ankle boots are suitable.
But light fitting silhouettes without bulky elements need light shoes. Boats will be just the way.
Fans of a sporty style can opt for a coat that is close to a man’s, when there is practically no unnecessary finish and the model is not fitted. In this case, sports shoes will look harmonious.
Sports style involves knitted gloves and sweaters. Such things will look stylish and organic.
An elongated coat without sleeves is not worn with long skirts below the knees. Otherwise, you will distort the proportions of the figure, and such an outfit will look bulky.
Flared, voluminous skirts and trousers are not suitable for long models. Preference should be given to a narrow strict dress, pencil skirt or straight trousers.
Attention: color
When answering the question of whether a coat is sleeveless - what to wear and how to supplement it, the decisive role is given to color.
If you purchased a cape of bright saturated shade, then boldly choose accessories to match the coat. Shoes can also be vibrant. But the jumper, worn underneath, gloves, a scarf and trousers, must be kept in one soft, neutral color. Otherwise, the image will look variegated and vulgar.
When the coat is dull, accessories boldly pick up juicy shades. A set in neutral colors looks very original, but with one bright detail in the form of a yellow collar or a fashionable leopard bag.
A long plain coat is combined with narrow dark trousers and a bright multi-colored blouse or shirt. Do not be afraid to complement the image with a hat in the tone of a blouse, boots, and then you are the queen.
Accessories are always important
On all the catwalks of the world you can see girls in a coat without sleeves. The models are diverse and unique.
Designers offer a style that is completely devoid of sleeves, and a coat without sleeves with slots for the hands. One way or another, but such an extravagant outfit should definitely be supplemented with accessories.
What to do with hands? After all, the street is cool enough?
Designers offer to wear long, elegant gloves to a classic
fitted coat of cashmere or wool. Necessarily leather or suede.
If you prefer textured material, then a cape with a lot of additional details and trim looks great with knitwear. Gloves, a sweater or a turtleneck - everything should look like from under a grandmother's skillful hand.
Volume matters
Volumetric can be one thing. If the coat is flared, with slits for the hands, then baggy skirts, long dresses and wide trousers will not fit categorically. Give preference to tight trousers and a small handbag. Strict, fitted and elongated coats complement well large accessories in the form of a scarf and a bulk bag.
Volumetric flared sleeveless capes look especially stylish with a small cocktail dress. A special effect can be achieved by wearing a flared coat, under which a narrow dress.
Sew or buy?
Craftswomen can sew a fashionable new thing for themselves. If you know all the sewing techniques and want to create a stylish coat without sleeves on your own, a cap pattern can always be found in fashion magazines.
Other ladies can choose a model in the store. New items have already been bought by many fashion boutiques and are ready to offer their customers a lot of different options.
