What to wear with a black and white plaid coat. Checked coat - a new trend or an ageless classic? Who suits a coat in a cage: we take into account the features of the figure

Autumn coolness and gentle spring sun give way to cold winter days. At this time, the desire to look fashionable and beautiful is combined with the need to maintain your individual style. It is a coat in a cage that will become an indispensable element of the wardrobe, in which you will feel comfortable and stylish. This thing will demonstrate the individual style of its owner. Therefore, be careful when choosing a product.

Despite the fact that today in the photo you can see several interesting models, combinations and combinations at once, the checkered style remains the most original. The Scottish cage confirms that the design idea does not stand still and the coats are becoming more and more bright styles. European fashion houses offer the most unusual trends, styles and trends. Models with a cage have a large, chess and small pattern. Each girl will be able to choose what suits her.

Among the styles, the most relevant should be highlighted. For example, a checkered coat with a hood is comfortable and light, suitable for classic, casual and even sporty chic. It all depends on the rest of the wardrobe and the style of the fashionista.

The color schemes of checkered models are striking in variety. Relevant green, black, brown, red shades. It looks interesting black and white gamma, gray, red-white, purple-lilac. A variety of options will help create a unique image.

For summer, you should choose light and light shades. For the spring period, more juicy and bright colors are suitable. Red, brown, orange, green, beige and black and white scales are relevant for autumn.

All styles are selected individually for the figure of the girl. Women with an apple shape should buy flared models and O-shaped silhouettes. Girls with lush hips and narrow shoulders should give preference to the trapezoid or narrow top option. If you have a slim and tall figure, buy long coats and models below the knees. Young women of short stature should buy shortened models.

Regarding the material, wool, cashmere and drape will never go out of fashion. Wool has many advantages, among which we highlight the following:

  • Wool perfectly retains heat.
  • Possesses hygroscopicity.
  • Practically does not wrinkle.
  • Does not block air entry. That is why a comfortable temperature regime is ensured.
  • Repels dust and dirt, perfectly cleaned.
  • The fabric is soft and airy.

Cashmere models are no less popular. Checkered coats made of this fabric look special - elegant, feminine and elegant. You can choose both free and fitted model. Cashmere is characterized by increased softness, it retains heat in any weather. This material is made from sheep down. Among the disadvantages, it should be noted that such a coat forms pellets with improper care.

Quality drape coats should be no less than 70% wool. In order to give the fibers elasticity and strength, manufacturers add synthetic additives. For winter, it is better to choose a coat in a checkered drape, which is 100% wool. Such outerwear will allow you to always feel comfortable and warm.

Fashionable plaid coats

The most relevant models are the following types of coats:

  • Plaid. The Celine brand offers bright prints, clean lines and voluminous shoulders. Moschino offered its customers autumn models with tartan ornament.

  • Brown. The most attractive collection from the Burberry brand. Fashion designers offer raincoats made of thin fabric. The designer's print uses sand, black, red and white shades.

  • Grey. Louis Vuitton offers options with fur lining, as well as elegance that reaches to the middle of the knees.

  • Black and white. The classic version, which became popular thanks to the efforts of Chanel and L.A.M.B. Both demi-season and winter coats in this color scheme will emphasize style and make you stand out from the crowd.

  • Multicolored. Lilac and greenish shades can be found in the collections of Dolce and Gabbana.

What to wear with plaid coats?

When choosing the rest of the wardrobe for such coats, you should correctly evaluate the advantages of your figure. Plump women are recommended things with soft colors and small cells. It is better if the coat is fitted and of medium length. Slender women will appreciate large checks in brighter color combinations, any style and length.

Remember that your coat should be the center of attention. A scarf, scarf, accessories, a bag will only complement the image. Checkered bags, bright jeans and pants are best left at home. Since the model of outerwear is self-sufficient in its essence, it determines the style. All elements of the wardrobe should be made in a minimalist style, there should be no extra rhinestones and buttons. Black, gray, burgundy, emerald trousers, skirts and dresses will be a great addition to the outfit. You can emphasize your sex appeal and originality by wearing other clothes to match the color of the coat cage.

By choosing a wide belt for a coat in a large cage, you will create a harmonious look. We offer a selection of fashionable combinations:

  • Combine a brown-beige coat with blue jeans, brown ankle boots, a turtleneck and a bag.
  • The black and orange plaid looks perfect with a white turtleneck, a red bag, brown boots and gray jeans.
  • Under a black and white coat, wear a classic black dress, dark ankle boots and gloves. A burgundy handbag can become an accent.

Be trendy, experiment. And remember that a print like a cage will be relevant at any time of the year!

Like the New Year without a Christmas tree, it is absolutely incomplete. Whether it's gloomy autumn weather, the first snow or the beginning of a warm spring - such clothes are always relevant. It remains to choose the right shade and model.

Everyone's favorite classic: black, beige and gray plaid coat. The latter, by the way, inspired fashion designers to create various variations on this theme: single-breasted, double-breasted, with broad shoulders, with and without a belt, in a figure or oversize - from elegant to the most daring styles.

Street style fashionistas make great combinations that everyone can apply. An easy way to wear a plaid coat is to match it with wide heels, wide jeans, and wear a voluminous sweater underneath. To complete a cozy everyday look, a bag with a wide belt and is perfect. But this is only one option out of many, we suggest you check it out for yourself.








How to choose the right plaid coat

Before buying, it is better to find out some subtleties so that the thing lasts for more than one year.
Compound. A quality coat should be made from wool and cashmere. And the more wool it contains, the more durable it will be.
Convenience. To understand whether outerwear fits you correctly, raise your hands while trying on, lean forward. In both cases, your movements should not be hindered by anything.
Measure on a sweater. Better than a thick sweater. It is unlikely that you will have to wear a coat over a thin T-shirt or T-shirt, in which case you risk choosing the wrong size.
Silhouette. Remember, even if you prefer oversize, clothes should not hang in a bag.



To be warm

Even on cold days, you want to be stylish, but at the same time, few people want to be cold. There are some tricks to pairing a plaid coat for comfortable outings without the chills.
Layering. Multi-layered images are now more relevant than ever, so you can safely put on a thin down jacket underneath.
Insulated coat. Choose a model with an already insulated inside.

Brands

If someone considers plaid outerwear too conservative and boring, branded brands beat all stereotypes. Calvin Klein offered a copy in a plastic film, in Balenciaga broke the symmetry by moving the top button to the shoulder. Quite curious options were found by other designers.

With a large overview of the autumn trends of brands, I will wait a little again. Because when a cold breath breathes in the back, I personally think least of all in the direction of mixes of chiffon skirts with bombers. Even if you wear all this with the most fashionable boots of the season (who missed it, we discussed it the other day on our instagram and we will discuss it on the blog the other day). But about the autumn coat - please. Moreover, there is also a reason.

Do you know that the most hit items of the season are plaid suits and coats? And they sewed them, I must say, all and sundry. What to choose - horseradish will understand. Therefore, I dug a little in the assortment and singled out three well-known trendy plaid coats from world designers from the whole variety. And then I tried to find their stylistic counterparts in budget brands. In general, who is planning a purchase - I think it will come in handy for you.



Photos from the shows of Dior, Prada, Nina Ricci and Chanel - collections autumn-winter 2017/18

I like to start with podium pictures, so today I decided not to deny us the pleasure :) First, let's take a quick look at the trend. And secondly, let's make sure that designers really have plenty of checkered coats for autumn.


Photos from the shows Off-White, Chanel, Balenciaga and Bottega Veneta - collections autumn-winter 2017/18

And now let's get into more detail. Of all this variety, albeit with a certain degree of conventionality, it is still possible to single out three coats that are repeated most often by different brands. They were also chosen by street style stars, which made things even more popular. You can take it as a guide to action, or vice versa - to stay away from the mainstream. But you and I are supposed to know them in person by the status of members of the sukomodny community :)

Must-have number 1: long plaid coat in men's style

It would be more correct to say - in unisex style. Because this is the fattest trend of the season comes from our "adored" 80s. I counted such coats in the autumn collections of designers most of all: most often in a cage of muted shades, with buttons in two rows (but not necessarily), preferably below the knee and ideally with broad shoulders. These are sold in luxury online stores:


In the photo: a very pro-masculine Ganni coat, MSGM for lovers of two-in-one trends straight from the catwalk, a classic of the genre from Joseph and another slightly oversized

The joke is that the most hit budget coat in this style appeared on sale even before it became a general mainstream. This is a Mango coat from last year's collection, which many street style stars managed to caress. And it's still in the top cool things of the season. In Minsk, this coat has long been gone, but it seems that you can still find it at sales somewhere. Given its almost classic conciseness, I would take it :)

Because with current models in such a style it is somehow liquid. Rather, there are many elongated pro-men's coats, but mostly plain. And so that this, and even in a cage, you won’t run away. Here are some of the ones I found that fit the bill:


A woolen (but very thin) Zara coat, a coat with a removable belt and a nightmarish photo from the Belarusian brand Gotti (here is another good shorter one), a slightly oversized coat from the Russian brand Yllzzore and the most successful Tsurpal vest coat in my opinion .

There is also a jacket classic for the ages from Emka Fashion, and with a certain degree of conventionality, this overcoat Balunova (a Belarusian brand, but also sold live in neighboring countries) can be made into a trend. In short, I would be confused with the search. Because today it's a trend, and tomorrow it's a classic again. And even my most toady toad will agree to invest in this.

Must-have number 2: black and red plaid coat

Let's go further. Here we have a shout out to grunge, another fat trend that won't settle down. But unlike the previous ones, these coats, although very popular, are still a rather dumb option. In the sense that not all color types and a very limited number of styles can easily wear such an accent cage. But if you don’t care about these nuances, then for a start, here are guidelines from the world of expensive and downright clothishly expensive brands:


A grunge classic by , a creative Gucci coat, and an overhauled version by


Oversized Reserved coat (100% polyester, who cares), a coat of my favorite Belarusian brand Lakbi slightly adapted in color and I would also try to mow the Red Valentino coat into a small houndstooth under the trend

What to do with them and how to wear this season - I'll show you a little lower. For now, let's finish our list.

Must-Have Number 3: Houndstooth Coat

The houndstooth (well, or the dog's fang) has long been considered an independent print, but today let it be a kind of cage. Another thing is important - I also counted such coats from designers from a wagon and a cart. At the same time, I want to note: if these were only traditional black and white coats in a small print, I would call it a classic. But the current collections are full of goose feet in any version. That's why the trend. And the choice will depend more on your personal preferences and (who cares) the natural color type. Again, here are a few coats from global designers:


A black and white classic by Marni, an Ermanno Ermanno fur-trimmed coat, an early fall color version by Etro, and another multicolored classic from

In the budget segment, as one would expect, it is easier to find a b/w coat. It is more difficult with color options, but you can dig if you wish. Here's what came out of my yesterday's surfing:


Trussardi Jeans oversized coat with accent houndstooth, the most classic version from H&M and another accent PoPogode

So. We figured out the materiel - now let's say a few words about fashionable outfits with checkered coats. Let's start with the simplest and at the same time the most popular technique among designers. Any of the above coats can (and they say even need to) gird. The wider the belt, the more relevant the image will turn out.

You can wear a cage with anything, but if we are talking about trendsbrands, then apparently you have to learn to love coat paired with culottes or other cropped pants. At the same time, it’s quite cool - this is an elongated coat with shot trousers / jeans. Then we get an underlined emphasis on this disproportion of lengths. But just do not forget that this is a full-fledged street style - and you need to walk it confidently :)

Well, to make it really, really trendy, add pointy shoes here. Ideally high boots or boots. If they are also red or white, you can scratch in Milan for the next fashion week without changing clothes. I give a tooth, in the street style chronicles in a couple of weeks everything will be littered with approximately the following outfits:

Well, OK. And what about weak-willed dislikes of ostentatious street style? For example, I won’t go far from home on red skis. Thank God, a cage is just such a convenient trend, in which all other nuances can be easily scored. Options for beautiful and always relevant sets - dofiga and more. How do you, for example, mix of a large cage with brutal shoes like those motorcycle boots? In my opinion, it turns out no worse than the classic black and red grunge:

By the way, a very relevant option is mix the cell with the skin(ideally lacquered, but you can do without tearing). Here, again, is my favorite stylistic contrast: a noble plaid coat side by side with, well, sooooo far from the classic varnish. In the end - nothing like that, it's not even scary to go out in public. You can also mesh tights to the heap:

Well, if nothing else comes to mind at all, there remains the rescue service in the form of sneakers. With them or with sneakers in general, anything turns into a street style. Sooner or later, this life hack, of course, will decline, but for now, sportswear still rules. So go ahead with the song.

Well, what do you think about today's topic? Who has any thoughts about what and how to mix a plaid coat? I have a black-and-white checkered pea jacket lying here waiting for the cold weather. And motorcycle boots with leather pants are available. So my clinical picture is clearer than clear :) What do you have?

The plaid coat never goes out of style. Fashion trends change one after another, and a plaid coat always remains relevant. It is appropriate in a business and casual wardrobe, suitable for both young girls and ladies of elegant age. Let's take a closer look at the checkered coat.

Models

direct

The straight-cut coat goes well with any outfit and suits almost any type of figure. Today, straight models with a collar and without a collar, with patch pockets and fur trim are popular.

double breasted

The double-breasted plaid coat is especially popular with young girls who prefer a hipster style of clothing. It goes great with skinny jeans and sneakers. But, if desired, it can be worn with a dress or skirt.

oversize

The oversized coat has not gone out of fashion for several years, it is comfortable, stylish and practical. Wear it with a heel and rolled up sleeves to keep your figure from looking baggy. Be sure to complete the look with interesting accessories.

Hooded

If you do not like winter hats, a hooded coat will be a real salvation for you. It will also play the role of a stylish collar if you forget your scarf at home. In such a coat, you can not worry that the wind or rain will ruin your hair. In a word, you will look feminine and luxurious.

Length

A short

If autumn pleases with good weather and bright sun, it's time to wear a meek coat in a cage. This model is ideal for slender beauties. The coat goes well with a variety of clothes and makes it possible to create stylish and interesting bows every time.

Long

A long coat in a cage looks very stylish and unusual. It looks great on tall girls who can afford to wear this model even with sneakers. Girls of average height are better to give preference to shoes with heels.

Cell varieties

In a scotch

Scottish cage (tartan) is the most popular, it is in great demand. True, it is most difficult to choose clothes for her, since a complex ornament requires careful work on the image. The easiest way to use it is as the final element of black and white bows, consisting of basic things.

True, this pattern also has a positive side - it has absolutely no age. Scottish is suitable for both young girls and ladies of age. It is only important to consider the style that is optimal for your age and body type.

In a large cell

An original coat in a large cage will help diversify your usual look. The most popular pattern is "Vichy" - a two-color cage created from stripes of the same width. In the traditional interpretation, it is not very large, but modern designers like to use it in a "hypertrophied" form. A product in a large cage is not recommended for ladies with forms, but it will look great on slender girls. It is recommended to choose plain clothes for such a coat so as not to overshadow this geometric perfection.

In a small cell

If you are looking for a beautiful small ornament, pay attention to the Glen cage. This pattern is an interlacing of black and white lines that look elegant and noble. Another variation of this ornament is called the "Prince of Wales", which has one small difference. A very large colored check is applied over the Glen pattern. Most often it is blue, but also pink, brown.

A gingham coat looks bright and unusual, so it is better to combine it with neutral basics. It can be a bottom of beige, brown, gray or black.

Fashion trends 2016

Checkered coat is one of the trends of the autumn-winter season. Popular as a traditional checkered ornament, as well as rebellious, "grunge" motifs. The grunge style involves a mix of several types of cages in one product, while the cage can be of different colors and sizes. All together it looks quite stylish and unusual.

A pale pink cage is also popular. Gentle romantic ladies who want to diversify their usual image will surely like it. For lovers of the classics, there are also many options. Basically, this is a coat with a Glen pattern and a large laconic check on a dark background.

fabrics

Wool

Traditionally, a checkered coat is sewn from various woolen fabrics. For demi-season models, thinner and lighter ones are used, and denser and heavier ones for winter coats. Wool is popular in combination with an admixture of synthetic fibers, which makes the material lighter and cheaper.

From a plaid to a cage

The poncho coat, reminiscent of a cozy plaid, is very popular. It can be found in many brands of the mass market or even sew it yourself. On the Internet you can find many master classes on this topic, even a beginner can handle some of them. A checkered plaid can become a stylish and original outfit, and you will be as warm in it as in a blanket.

Color

red cage

The red plaid coat looks very impressive and stylish. Depending on the pattern you choose, you can get both a daring and a very cozy autumn look. Such a coat will become the main highlight of the image and enliven even the most dull and boring image.

Black and white cage

A calm classic black and white combination will suit any woman. A coat made in this color scheme is much easier to introduce into your everyday wardrobe than a coat in red or blue checks. Choose classic or straight models that suit any type of figure.

Brands

Plaid coats can be found in many brands, ranging from luxury designers to mass-market brands.

  • For example, the well-known Spanish brand ZARA offers stylish models of plaid coats. Outerwear of this brand is popular among fashionistas around the world.
  • It is also worth paying attention to the MANGO brand, which boasts excellent quality outerwear and a fashionable unique design.
  • Among young girls, brands such as TOPSHOP, River Island, Bershka Pull & Bear are popular.
  • Especially popular is the ASOS brand, which every season develops new stylish coat models for young girls who understand fashion. In the assortment of their online store, you will definitely be able to find a coat that will suit your taste.

How to choose?

Despite the fact that the cage itself is universal, you need to choose a coat with this print based on the characteristics of your figure.

As mentioned earlier, girls with shapes are categorically not suitable for models with a large cage, the large size of the pattern will visually add volume to you. It is better to give preference to a medium-sized cage that will decorate a straight or flared coat. For slender girls, there are no special restrictions in the choice. It is only worth noting that a plaid coat requires a perfect fit. Even if it is an oversized model, it must be your size so that the shoulder seam and waist are in place.


One of the significant trends of the new season is a coat in a cage. The plaid print has long been in our wardrobes, at least each of us has a plaid dress or scarf. It's time for the coat. Currently, the cellular print has succeeded so much on the catwalk that there is no way around it. And a coat in a cage in the upcoming cold season, apparently, must be purchased.

Why buy a plaid coat? As already mentioned, a plaid coat is one of the new autumn-winter season 2018-2019. Today it is quite easy to find such a coat in the store.

In addition, if you choose the right cellular print, then a fashionista of any proportions can look spectacular in it. The print is suitable for women of any age and with any figure.

A checkered coat is a self-sufficient option, and does not require special additional decorations. The cage itself is already an ornament. It is much easier to pick up a bag, gloves, shoes, a scarf for such a coat than for a plain model.

If the plaid in the coat is bright, accessories of muted shades are suitable, which can be chosen based on the plaid palette. If the cage is in black and white, then bright shoes, for example, in red, or a bag will complete the look. Other color options are also possible.

With the help of a cell, you can change your proportions - stretch or expand. It all depends on who needs what. Everything is very simple. To become taller and slimmer, choose a small cage with muted colors. Large and contrasting print will visually expand your silhouette.

There is another option for "increasing" growth. Choose a square that looks like a stripe from afar. It can be a houndstooth cage or pepita. You can add a long scarf by lowering its ends along your figure.

A woman with lush hips, when choosing such a coat, in addition to the size and color of the cage, should pay attention to its length. A midi or maxi coat will look good, better than a fitted model. An excellent option is the classic cut.

There is another reason why everyone loves the plaid coat, no doubt. The cage resembles a cozy, warm blanket that warms you in cold winters when you sit in your favorite chair with a cup of hot aromatic tea.

Among the many models in the new season, you can see a model of a plaid coat or cape. It is with these options that there will be no problems with weight, everything can be disguised.

A plaid coat is an excellent option to look noticeable and spectacular. And the Burberry cage is one of the symbols of Great Britain.
