Fashion trends often cause genuine bewilderment in women. Some designer items can be impractical, for example, outerwear that will not keep you warm in the cold. Despite this, the sleeveless coat has aroused keen interest among girls. With its help, you can create many stylish, chic images. However, to do this, you need to choose your own model from a variety of styles, which will favorably emphasize the advantages and hide the disadvantages.
Features of the models
Despite the lack of sleeves, the model is called a "coat", although you can't exactly call it a vest. The style of such a coat can be elegant, strict, sporty or military. There is no such variety among vests.
You can wear a coat almost all year round. Even in the summer, the Russian climate can be quite chilly in the evenings. The sleeveless model is a real find for ladies behind the wheel, does not restrict movement, and serves as protection from the cold.
If you have a piece of clothing in your wardrobe that looks good but hasn’t been worn for a long time and is out of fashion, then nothing prevents you from cutting off the sleeve of this old coat and making a trendy item with your own hands.
The sleeveless coat has only recently conquered the catwalks, so its purchase will be relevant now. But to make the right choice, you need to be guided by the trends. Famous fashion houses suggest focusing on the following styles and colors:
- Christian Dior produces single-color models in rich, bright shades that are suggested to be worn in combination with trapeze-shaped dresses or long sweaters.
- Max Mara presents mini length models made of drape. They can be complemented with a golden skirt made of snakeskin fabric. The arms in the image are suggested to be left bare, which is suitable, perhaps, only for a catwalk show, but is not applicable in everyday life.
-
Givenchy recommends a piece made of dark green velvet with a brocade turn-down collar. It can be complemented with transparent black gloves.
- Hermes showed a model made of combined fabric in warm brown shades, without a collar or fastening, with a crocodile leather belt.
Also, famous designers presented models in a cage, with shawl collars. Thanks to a wide selection, every fashionista can find a product to her taste.
Popular styles and lengths
Coats come in different styles, which differ in cut and length. The most popular models are:
- Coat-vest. It is distinguished by a strict cut in the English style. Suitable for a casual look.
- Cardigan. Does not have a collar. The most common models are straight and fitted.
- Light coat. Victoria Beckham's favorite model. Looks stylish. Goes with any clothes.
- With armholes. The slit is made in the form of pockets or is located in the side seams. It has a loose cut, a stand-up collar. The women's version is made in delicate colors, the men's version in more universal, classic colors.
- With a hood. Sports model in casual style, looks good with sneakers. Made of thick warm fabrics.
- Cape coat. Replaces a cloak. Complemented with decorative trim.
- Cape. A trapezoidal silhouette, fastened at the neck. Lengths range from mini to maxi. Suitable for any clothing style.
Models are traditionally divided by length into mini, midi and maxi. A short coat is more like a vest. The most popular styles are floor-length, they look good on tall women.
Full girls are suited to products with medium length. Such a model visually helps to stretch the silhouette. Visually reduces the volume of the hips, makes the waist thinner.
Knitted coats fit thin, slender girls perfectly. They are made of thick yarn, which adds volume, so they are not suitable for plump women. Models made of thin wool will suit them.
You should be careful when choosing a coat with armholes. Due to the oversized cut, it significantly weighs down the torso and brings any figure closer to the diamond type, so it can visually add extra pounds to plump women. Girls with rounded shapes are better off choosing A-line models.
Sleeveless coats are ideal for women with an inverted triangle figure. The model visually narrows the shoulder line and also hides narrow hips, making the silhouette closer to an hourglass. Avoid excessive decoration in the upper part of the model.
Choice of texture and design
Sleeveless coats are made from various materials:
- Summer coats are made from cotton, lace with lining or jacquard.
- Spring-autumn models are made of wool, tweed, cashmere.
- Leather or suede coats are at the peak of popularity.
- Among knitted models, patterns with braids, diamonds, and squares prevail. Large knits made of thick yarn are in trend.
- Fur models are relevant for winter. Moreover, artificial fur is no less in demand than natural fur.
Many coats designed for the cold season are decorated with fur trim on the collar and pockets. Reptile skin is very popular. It is used to make decorative inserts, as well as belts.
Fashionable color solutions
Popular colors of sleeveless coats are no different from other models:
- Black, white, grey and beige never go out of fashion and can be combined with any shade of clothing and shoes.
- All shades of green and blue are considered trendy colors. They are suitable for any time of year.
- A red sleeveless coat will definitely not leave its owner without attention, it will add charm to her. It is better to combine clothes of muted colors with a model of this color.

- A pink coat is suitable for young girls who want to create a gentle, yet bright image.
It is important to remember one rule - all shades of clothes should be combined with each other. If a woman has chosen a bright coat, then she wears calm neutral tones with it and vice versa.
