Patchwork coats
This is how we style the hottest trend of the fall season
They were considered absolutely out in the fashion industry for a long time and are now back on our coats: patchwork designs.
The trend fabric of the 60s is on the rise again this autumn and winter. Big fashion houses like Burberry and 3.1 Phillip Lim introduced the trend on the catwalks last year, and it slowly became a bestseller on light jackets this spring. Now the stylish patches have evolved and come in trench, leather or colorful material variations. We explain how to wear the new styles now.
1. Two-tone trench coats
A trench coat rarely comes alone! At least this season. Nothing works without brown or black sewing on the shoulders, hips or the inside of the coat. And it shouldn’t be: because the extra adds a lot of sophistication to the otherwise simple coat.
Back to basics
If you want to show off your patchwork coat, combine it with simple jeans and a white shirt. When it comes to accessories, statement pieces complete the look. Since the outfit base is kept simple, you can go bolder with the bag, shoes and jewelry. This not only underlines the uniqueness of the coat, but also creates excitement from head to toe.
It’s the mixture that counts
If you prefer to go all out, choose contrasting patterns. These can be favorite pieces with leopard print or geometric designs. The shoes are also eccentric: pointed pumps, high ankle boots with chunky soles or calf-high leather boots are particularly nice to look at here.
2. Patchwork leather coats
A black leather coat looks rocky, sexy and cool. But usually the black color in combination with the coarse material is a bit too bulky. Luckily, this season the leather coats come in a looser patchwork style.
Chess, but not checkmated at all
Too much color isn’t for everyone. And since the Netflix hit “The Queen’s Gambit” we know that chess is not only a truly elite sport, but has also become a fashion model. The black and white patches look best with a simple, monochrome wardrobe. On top of that, chunky Chelsea shoes underline the modern touch.
A glamorous mosaic work of art
This trend almost seems artistic. Small mosaic areas are lined up here. In this case, an intense cognac flashes in a sea of blue patches. And the description really says it all: these patchwork coats are true works of art that need no further distraction. A fine pencil skirt and plain tops don’t get in the way of the coat. Closed stilettos give the outfit the right support.
3. Coats made from mixed materials
Who says that the sewers only have to differ in the colors? The mix of leather, latex, linen, trench, jeans, teddy, faux fur or quilted is particularly exciting. And it requires a special styling touch.
Different designs come together
If you choose a model made from several materials and colors, choose sporty leggings or fine fabric trousers. A simple blouse, turtleneck or hoodie complements the ensemble perfectly. All that’s missing is a sporty base piece: white sneakers or knee-high, flat boots are particularly helpful in this combination.
Different materials that look elegant
How a material fusion looks particularly stylish? Once the patchwork design stays in one color family. Checkered sew-ins and quilted fabric harmonize wonderfully – despite the different feel. With fine slingbacks, tight leggings or leather trousers you not only get an elegant finish, but also lots of envious glances.
