No doubt, coats are very important. To create the right impression we should follow the fashion trends and avoid staying behind our time.
Here are coats trends for fall 2008 and winter 2009:
Cocoon Coats
The cocoon coats look interesting though they aren’t new for us. Last year we saw quite many trapeze pyramid shapes. This year they are no longer popular and have transformed into more shapely cocoons. The hemlines and sleeves trimmed with fur or velvet make the silhouette look unusual and stylish.
A-line Coats
A-line coats are becoming more and more popular among women of fashion as they look pretty feminine. These coats have skirts that fall from softly controlled, gathered fullness, like these coats below.
Fur Trimming coats
Many coats that were shown on the runways were trimmed with fur. Fashion designers are using fur along hemlines, on collars, hoods, cuffs and also as decorative trims to open-front coats. A coat trimmed with fur always looks chic and gorgeous!
Winter White Coat
White is always perfect if you are slim. And if you have details of embellishment or embroidery of the same coloration it inevitably looks terrific. White on white, cream on cream, taupe on taupe, black on black always creates an expensive look.
Leather & Fur Clothes
Leather and fur coats are among the looks of autumn 2008. Leather was used not only in coats but in dresses, biker jackets and skinny trousers.
There were a lot of fur coats at the catwalk. Some of them were cut with precision. However, many designers used simple silhouettes to which drew attention to the material itself.
Satin garments
It’s not just fur or leather that are fashionable materials this winter, but also satin and satinised fabrics. Designers created collections in both bold primary and secondary colours.
Satin fabrics of electric bright and super sleek neutral colours were popular on the runways.
Amongst bright warm colours, tomato red, teal and fuchsia and bright magenta were used to attract your attention this fall.
Colourful Bright Coats
Bright colour is developing into a fashion trend in itself. There are so many colourful and cheerful colours on the catwalks this Autumn 2008.
Key colours for autumn and winter include plenty of berry tones: pink, purple, aubergine blues, all kinds of red, magenta, rosy, claret, maroon, blackberry and puce.
These tints will be trendy for long as they look cute, feminine and youthful.
Military Style
Military trend is considered to be classic. Uniform makers love it very much as it instantly knocks some shape into the wearer, makes the wearer stand up straight, and gives the individual a better bearing to face the world.
If you purchase a coat of this style be sure it will be in fashion again and again.
Well, it’s time to buy a winter coat but before doing that check that you are wisely adding a classic to your wardrobe rather than slavishly following the very latest fashion trend. Fashion is good when trends fit you well. Keeping that in mind choose a coat that flatters your body shape and plays up your good points!
Yeah…
