At the heart of the fall-winter 2021 fashion trends, we find the long coat that stands out. Classic, double-breasted, belted or oversized, this season it dresses us in style and is available as you wish… Focus on this fashion piece with XXL potential.
Impossible to miss this phenomenon. Spotted both on the streetstyles and on the catwalks of Fashion Week, the long coat has made a place of choice in our winter wardrobe. Hyper trendy this season, it dresses us with elegance in all circumstances and above all, it keeps us warm thanks to its disproportionate proportions. If some fashionistas remain perplexed by its extravagant length, it actually represents its greatest fashion asset. You just have to use it with precision!
Available in a beautiful palette of colors – from timeless to trendy – it is sometimes adorned with leather, woolen skin or even faux fur, super comfy. Whether plain or printed, we adopt it and associate it very easily with any piece of our wardrobe, a real added value.
How to choose the right long coat?
Straight out of the men’s wardrobe, the long coat takes on the appearance of a cozy plaid in which we like to wrap ourselves up, all the cool season. If it turns out to be easy to wear, it is also the chilly woman’s best ally. Ideally, it is chosen in wool (at least 70%) or cashmere for optimal comfort. The sheepskin “moumoute” material is also making a strong comeback, not to mention the faux fur that always hits the mark this fall-winter.
Obviously, to choose the right coat, you have to take into account its morphology. This strong piece suits everyone, as long as you don’t miss it! Thus the older ones can afford the very very long model, up to the ankle, which you will have to avoid if you are less than 1m60. If this is your case: opt for a coat slit on the sides, which will sweep away the risk of appearing packed. If you have shapes, do not hesitate to belt your coat to balance the silhouette and slim the waist. The small twigs, for their part, will ignore the truly XXL oversize model which would risk swallowing them up … in favor of a straight fitted model, nicely buttoned. As for the wrap coat that reaches mid-calf, it will suit everyone and will have a little effect!
In terms of colors, we obviously find the timeless of winter: black, camel, cream, navy, gray … If you are part of the daring team, you can set your sights on a more flashy model like pink , duck blue or even purple. On the printed side, we like the small checks without forgetting the unconditional herringbone all in discretion.
What to wear your long coat with?
The advantage of the long coat is that it is as incredibly comfortable as it is stylish. It gives character to our winter looks, accompanying all the basics of our wardrobe: sweater dress, knitwear, skirt, jeans … everything goes. So we can have fun breaking your boyish style with a long floral dress, for example. The little ones can play on the optical illusion and wear flared pants under their coat. Add to that, a pair of heeled boots to elevate the silhouette and voila! As for those who do not take off their dresses, skirts and other shorts in winter, opt without hesitation for mini cuts. Your legs will thus be highlighted and will be subtly revealed under your long coat … On your feet, you are spoiled for choice: a pair of white sneakers for a casual-chic look, santiag boots for the rock side or even babies block heel to play the card of glamor. The alternative to gain a few centimeters without losing comfort? Chunky boots.
We let you pick your favorite from our pretty selection of 30 long coats.
