Sleeveless coats are often seen on the catwalks. What is the name of this new design art and how to wear it?
Women's sleeveless coat has been in trend for several seasons. At first, European ladies appreciated the novelty: a handy thing when there is no frost, but the heat has not yet come.
In Russia, at first fashionistas were in no hurry to buy an unusual thing in their wardrobe. It was not entirely clear how and with what to wear such clothes.
Sleeveless coat - what is the name of such clothes?
Many women have coats in their wardrobe. They differ in style, material and can be completely different colors. But for those who want to stand out from the general background, designers offer to pay attention to the cape.
What is this? In fact, this is the same coat, but without sleeves. The material from which the models are sewn is also diverse. For warm autumn days, the coat can be made of jacquard and look like a warm jacket.
For colder weather, sleeveless coats are made of wool, tweed or cashmere. Such outerwear is especially appreciated by women who often spend time driving. As a rule, sleeves greatly interfere with riding, and it’s not too comfortable to sit in bulky clothes incar. But a thin coat with slits for the arms is a great solution.
Like regular outerwear, capes are different. In stores you can see a cape with and without a hood, with a belt and flared, in the form of a jacket or with cutouts for the hands. Colors and materials also vary. Fashionistas will always choose the right option for all occasions.
When to wear a cape?
If the coat is made of tweed or wool, then wear it in autumn, when there are no severe frosts yet. A jumper with warm sleeves must be worn under it, because the cape will not warm you in this particular place.
Lighter sleeveless cashmere or jacquard coats are great for spring. When the sun is already shining outside, but still there is not enough heat, the cape is put on over a turtleneck or a light jumper.
Like a regular coat, sleeveless clothes can be complemented with a scarf and gloves, but always long ones.
But still, despite all the advantages, sleeveless outerwear does not belong to the category of practical. But if a woman does not plan to stay in the cold for a long time and there is another option for cold days, then why not diversify her wardrobe?
Summer coats look especially impressive. They are usually made of light cotton jacquard and worn over the dress. You can wear it in the evening when the midday heat subsides, or for a solemn event.
What to wear with a sleeveless coat?
It all dependsthe style of the coat. But jeans or straight trousers will always go well with such an outfit. You can wear any shoes under them, whether they are high heels or elegant boots.
Underneath it is preferable to wear a turtleneck or jacket. If a sleeveless coat is made of thin fabric, a silk blouse looks beautiful. In this case, the coat gives a certain comfort and warmth.
If the cape has a classic knee length, then you can wear a skirt. But you have to be careful with shoes. If the coat is decorated with a massive collar, the shoes will be out of place. Only boots or ankle boots will do.
But light fitting silhouettes without bulky elements need lightweight shoes. Pumps will be just in time.
Sporty style lovers can opt for a coat that is close to a man's, when there is practically no extra trimming and the model is not fitted. In this case, sports shoes will look harmonious.
Sporty style includes knitted gloves and sweaters. Such things will look stylish and organic.
Elongated sleeveless coat is not worn with long, below the knee, skirts. Otherwise, you will distort the proportions of the figure, and such an outfit will look bulky.
Do not fit long models and flared, voluminous skirts and trousers. Preference should be given to a narrow strict dress, pencil skirt or straight trousers.

But the jumper worn under the bottom, gloves, scarf and trousers must be kept in one soft, neutral color. Otherwise, the image will look colorful and vulgar.
When the coat is not bright, feel free to choose accessories in rich colors. The set looks very original in neutral tones, but with one bright detail in the form of a yellow collar or a fashionable leopard handbag.
A long plain coat is paired with tight dark trousers and a brightly colored blouse or shirt. Don't be afraid to complete the look with a hat to match the blouse, boots, and then you are a queen.
Accessories are always important

Give preference to tight trousers and a small handbag. Strict, fitted and elongated coats complement large accessories in the form of a scarf and a bulky bag.
Volume sleeveless flared capes look especially stylish with a small, cocktail dress. A special effect can be achieved by wearing a flared coat, under which a tight dress.
