Double breasted coat is always in fashion
Today there are many styles of women's coats: some of them go out of fashion and again become relevant, and some as the classics are always in demand. The coat model, which is rightfully eternal in the fashion world, is double-breasted and for good reason.
The fact is that this style has become known since the times of the First World War and was originally created exclusively for men - soldiers.
The coat, which perfectly protects against cold and piercing wind, was also favored by women, due to the deep smell, but much later - in the 20th century.
The first female coat model was sewn in Ulster from coarse fabric and had a detachable hood. It was sewn according to the military style, which is now called military, and was distinguished by the lack of decor. Modern styles of double-breasted coats are much richer both in decor, and in appearance, and in cut.
What it is
It is accepted to call a double-breasted coat, which has a wide flap in the front part with buttons or buttons arranged on it in two rows.
It is interesting that in most modern models only the extreme row of fasteners is functioning, while the second row plays a decorative role. But if you wish, you can find models in which both rows of buttons are working. You can zip this coat on one side or the other. The collar in such models is usually expensive.
How is double breasted different from single breasted
Unlike a double-breasted coat, a single-breasted coat has a narrow flap and one row of fasteners, which can be sewn in the form of buttons or buttons. Buttoned such coats, respectively, only on one side.
In the traditional version, a single-breasted coat has only three buttons, while in a double-breasted one, the number of fasteners in one row can reach up to five and even ten pieces. There are also models of single-breasted coats with flaps, when a number of fasteners are completely covered with a piece of fabric.
Benefits
The main advantage of a double-breasted coat is that it is always relevant and looks expensive. The girl who chose a coat of this cut, always emphasizes its elegance and convinces everyone in the presence of taste. A coat of such a plan would be appropriate, both in everyday and in business style.
Regardless of which model of the coat will be chosen by the young lady, the presence of a large number of large buttons will add to its image a certain zest and originality.
How to choose and who will suit
Experts advise double-breasted coats to choose exclusively thin young ladies and this is due to the fact that a wide strip with two rows of buttons visually adds volume to the silhouette.
But even if your figure is far from model standards, you can afford to wear this style if you choose the right model:
- On girls with massive hips, a double-breasted cocoon coat with a massive collar will look good. A free cut will allow you to visually balance the parameters of the silhouette, and divert attention from shortcomings.
- Young ladies with a rectangular silhouette can choose such a model, but only if it is complemented by a basque and noticeable decorative elements.
- Girls with short legs can choose a slightly flared double-breasted mid-thigh coat.
For girls with curvaceous forms, it is better to refuse from the double-breasted model at all and give preference to the styles of a coat with an asymmetric clasp. The same can be said about girls with a magnificent bust, but it is important that the coat is different V-shaped neckline.
