Above all: the perfect piece to squander elegance on cold days

Cold coats are pieces that last forever and are worth a greater investment. They are responsible for finishing the look on the coldest days and you can find them in different models.

Among the models, the coats stand out, which can also receive the name in English “trench coat”. They are characterized by being longer, usually a hand above the knee or longer.

As the name implies, the overcoat is a piece to be worn over other layers of clothing. They can have the waist marked by a belt that is part of the coat, or have a straight fit.

This piece that is present in the women’s wardrobe, and also in the men’s, can be found in different fabrics and colors. The models can also have pockets and buttons that finish off and give the final charm to the piece.

how to wear overcoat

Although the initial idea is that the overcoat only composes heavy and cold looks, it can also be combined with different pieces and in an unusual way. Check below for tips on how to use the coat in different types of look. The tips were prepared in partnership with the fashion consultant, Paula Siqueira, graduated from the University of the State of Santa Catarina.

Overcoat with jeans

Jeans are democratic, present in most women’s wardrobes and are certainly one of the first pieces that come to mind when creating a look for cold days.

“Whether with ripped jeans or black skinny jeans, one thing is for sure: it’s worth the investment”, argues the consultant Paula, about possible combinations of the pieces. She also emphasizes the use of pumps to provide a sophisticated touch to the look.

Overcoat with leggings

One of the pieces that offer the most comfort in the women’s wardrobe, in addition to being a real joker in times of weight variations, is leggings. In combination with overcoats they can be of different colors and also of different materials, such as imitation leather.

“It’s always good to prioritize dark colors, bet on black, you can’t go wrong!”, indicates Paula for a sure combination. And still about the combination with the overcoats, the consultant indicates that for the shorter ones it is better to opt for over-the-knee coat models to avoid that the silhouette is flattened. On the feet, the boots are perfect to compose the look.

Overcoat with tailoring

The tailored cut can be the key to giving a more tidy touch to the look, as well as a great alternative for work. In addition to the more formal look, it is common to find this cut in shorts full of delicacy.

“The black and white combo with graphite overcoat is right, combine with patent shoes and have the look for the job you wanted so much.”, indicates the fashion consultant.

Overcoat with pantyhose

The overcoat can also be used as a kind of dress when worn closed, and overlapping shorter pieces that end up being hidden by the piece that is on top. Combined socks can be of different thicknesses and colors.

To create this combination, models that highlight the waist region should be prioritized. On the feet, boots with thick heels and also sandals and closed shoes can be good options to finish off the look.

Overcoat with shorts

The lighter overcoat models can integrate a fresher look and overlap compositions with shorts and sandals, even without the characteristic socks of winter looks, as confirmed by consultant Paula: “It is possible to use and abuse overcoats with style and without looking a heavy look”.

“If you want a more modern look, just combine destroyed denim shorts with an overcoat and a t-shirt in pastel tones”, says Paula to create an updated look. High heels can be responsible for finishing the look.

Overcoat with skirt

A look full of delicacy can be composed with the union of a skirt and above all in the same look. For a more casual and modern look, denim skirts, especially models with buttons, can be great bets.

“The most feminine productions ask for a tweed or eco leather miniskirt. Prefer dry skirts and shorter than the overcoat”, advises Paula Siqueira. She also adds that the tights give the final touch to the looks for the coldest days.

Overcoat with dress

This combination can compose from the most formal looks, for work or a special event, or even a casual look for a weekend outing. What will dictate the formality of the look will be the modeling of both pieces.

“Tight dresses can be your biggest ally for night out. How about combining a cool print with your overcoat?”, asks consultant Paula, suggesting the combination. The specialist also indicates the use of the belt to finish the look, enhancing the silhouette.
