Every year, with the onset of cold weather, any person faces the question of choosing warm clothes. Many of those who prefer stylish and practical things, stop their eyes on the coat with a stand-up collar. Why on it? Yes, because you simply can’t find the best classic option in order to look “straight away”. In today's article, we will try to talk about such a truly win-win option for the fall, almost everything, from revealing the secret about its creator and ending with options for what such a coat is ideally combined with.
Italians dictate fashion trends
At the very beginning of the conversation about a coat with a collar, the counter wanted to mention the history of the appearance of these collars in our lives. Although in many publications alongside such a concept the 18th century is mentioned, nevertheless, in antiquities dated to the 16th century, an unusual detail in clothes is already clearly visible.
By the way, literally on all the outfits that the artists of that time depicted, a sewn piece of fabric to the neck of a caftan or dress is very much like a modern stand-up collar. Some evidence suggests that by the end of the 18th century, he firmly entered the fashion of that era and for a long time did not allow other modifications to push himself out of the leader’s podium. Unfortunately, the name of the person who came up with the collars to sew to the necks of the outfits did not survive. However, it is known for certain that it was the Italians, who for several centuries set fashion trends in Europe.
Classic with elements of brutality
Now a coat with a stand-up collar is a kind of brutal wardrobe item for both men and women. This option does not at all add things to romance or lightness, on the contrary, rather deprives them of these qualities, leaving only clear strict lines that do not allow themselves to be supplemented with anything. At the same time, such a thing will immediately distinguish its owner from the crowd of passers-by, precisely due to the absence of loading elements. A coat with a stand (collar) is a classic that will always remain relevant.
Successful female models
There are some of the most popular and time-tested models of the aforementioned coat, which we will now try to list:
- A stand-up collar combined with a straight knee length. Such a modification is not in vain put in the first place, because a more successful embodiment simply does not exist today. It is worth noting that a female coat with a stand-up collar is a competently remade soldier's overcoat, which at the beginning of 2017 once again became a trend.
- A coat in the floor with side cuts from the bottom to the knee, similar to the cloak of the heroine of the famous American science fiction blockbuster "The Matrix". The ideal solution in this case would be thinly welt pockets in the seam or the famous "hooligans" not covered by valves. By the way, when using the overhead view, it will be better if they turn out to be of impressive size.
- For young girls or women who can afford to dress by age, cropped coats with a stand-up collar are perfect. These can be models along the waist line and right up to the middle of the thigh, and it’s absolutely unimportant that they will be fitted, straight or in the shape of a trapezoid.
It must be said that the most important condition in the classic is the absence of excesses on it. This applies to shiny buttons, elaborate and overly striking zippers or not so long ago fashionable stripes. Everything should be simple and concise. A coat model with a stand-up collar, the photo of which is presented in the material, without a fastener at all, is the perfect option and the most popular thing in the wardrobe of fashionistas in the world at the end of 2017 and the beginning of 2018.
There is no place for accessories
Depending on the cut and style that a woman adheres to, and basing on her own preferences, it is worth choosing a model that is comfortable and convenient for herself. A coat with a straight-cut stand-up collar can help some lush women to hide flaws, and visually make the neck of a swan thin to everyone else.
The only nuance with such clothes can be considered the inability to combine it with stoles, voluminous neck scarves, snodes and other attributes widely used by women in the past few years. Stylists advise resorting to a simple thin scarf resembling a man's, or to a narrow elongated silk scarf, which in no case should be wrapped around the neck. It should be visible from under the open floor, but no more.
Options
Classics were always easy to combine. Here are some good examples:
- A dress corresponding to the length of the coat, that is, outerwear should completely cover it. Adding a hairpin, wedge or platform - the image will be finished.
- For bold and daring natures, the option of flared trousers, a shortened coat with a stand-up collar and any owner of shoes that he liked is quite suitable.
- Those who like comfort and choose models with the maximum length can be advised to use a headscarf tied as an oriental turban as a headdress. It is very relevant and will dilute strict classics with a drop of romance.
What about men?
A strong half of humanity in terms of modern fashion is not deprived at all. Famous fashion designers are trying their best to make men look to match the women of the 3 millenniums, keeping up with fashion. A men's coat with a stand-up collar in the 2017-2018 season is very popular, along with a beard, a classic suit or a combination of the aforementioned outerwear with skin-tight jeans. The main thing in this mixture are, without a doubt, strength and self-confidence.
