Coat for women with different body types. Women's coats for petite girls Which coat to choose for low

Hello, dear guests and regular readers of my blog! I continue to reveal the topic of winter outerwear for petite ones. Today's article is about coat for petite girls and women. Namely, I’ll tell you about how to choose where to buy, in particular, winter coats for sub-zero temperatures and short stature! Ready?

Which one to choose?

Let's start with the fact that we want to buy ourselves the most versatile coat.

Style

That is, the style is needed such that it can be combined with anything and look the best at the same time. The most versatile silhouettes and the most noteworthy today are:

• dressing gown
• men's style coat
• cocoon coat
• pea jacket

Let's now go through each of them in a little more detail, and consider the limitations for each of them with the nuances of the figure. bathrobe The most feminine silhouette you can imagine. It will look chic with any shoes: from white sneakers to suede ankle boots, the combination with over the knee boots is especially relevant. It looks very cool with brogues or Chelsea boots in office sets. This coat can be worn with a sophisticated dress, and with skinny jeans or wide trousers.

Restrictions

1. If you have an apple type figure (if you don’t know what type of figure you have, then I wrote in detail about how to determine in the article “, so I won’t repeat myself), then such a silhouette can visually emphasize extra pounds in the waist area. If you really want such a coat-robe and you are a “round apple”, then do not tie the belt and wear it wide open.
2. For beauties with large breasts, as well as petite girls, it is very important to ensure that the lapels, if any, are narrow, not wide. Then you visually stretch the silhouette due to the vertical line. Wide lapels, on the contrary, create a horizontal line, which means you “steal growth” and make the chest visually larger.
3. Landing. For petite girls, it is extremely important that the waist, that is, the place where the belt is tied, is exactly at the waist, and not lower. Otherwise, you will visually make yourself shorter. Same with sleeves. Therefore, either carry it to the atelier or buy directly from the Petite line.
4. The length can be either just above the knee or below the knee. However, not all miniatures will go ankle-length. Only if you are the owner of a very proportional figure and if the coat fits perfectly on you, then this option is acceptable. Oh yes, you still have to have perfectly straight legs. When the hem ends at the middle of the calf, it can emphasize the curvature of the legs. So be extremely careful.

Men's style
Also a great option. That is, it is, in fact, direct, strict, not fitted. Maybe a little oversized too. He is often referred to as Boyfriend, Tom Boy, Musculine and similar titles. In general, when choosing any coat, make sure that it is not “sticky” on you. First, you can't wear anything under it. And secondly, you will look like this, sorry, lower and thicker. Again, you can wear such a coat with anything. I especially love pairing with very feminine pieces, like a lingerie-style dress or a midi skirt. Sorry for the quality of the photo, but this is just to show you how a men's style looks with a short stature.
When choosing it, there are also some restrictions. Restrictions

1. Lapels for petite are better to choose narrow to look taller.
2. Pay attention to pockets. Ideally, for miniatures, these should be small slanting pockets, or no pockets at all. That is, the less noticeable they are, the better. You should be very careful when choosing a coat with patch pockets, because if they are too large or stand out in contrast, this will add visual volume to you and eat up your height.
3. Follow the line of the shoulders. If the sleeves are made like raglan or simply lowered, then for owners of wide shoulders and petite ladies with shapes, it is better to refuse such a coat.

Cocoon coat
There is a common myth that this style of coat is not very petite. To be honest, this is complete nonsense. This is such an interesting cut that suits full ladies with an apple body type! The most important thing is that the cocoon coat fits you well and is not too long. The ideal length is just above the knee or just below the knee. Very long can afford miniature girls with a perfect figure and who want to emphasize their miniature. Also, make sure that the shoulder line is not too wide.

1. Pay attention to details - buttons, pockets and lapels should not be too big.
2. Ideal length: just above the knee or just below the knee.
3. Ideally, choose a coat with hidden buttons, one vertical zipper (hidden or not) or one row of buttons - this is, in essence,a vertical that visually stretches your height will make you slimmer.

By the way, pay attention to the weekday brand, many of their things run small!
I seem to have taken the last one in green in size XS, but here is another one exactly the same, only black.

Pea coat
This style has not gone out of fashion for a very long time. This coat goes with almost anything. It can be long, medium length or short. I prefer short and bright models. Long pea coats are great for trendy military-style looks. Since such coats usually have two rows of buttons, in order to look taller and slimmer in such a coat, it is better to wear it wide open.

Vest

This is not the most winter option, and is suitable for autumn-spring and for those who travel by car. But the vest coat continues to be at the peak of popularity and with its help you can decorate any figure! Chubby (any type of figure!) - slims, no chest - will create an illusion, too full hips - hide, ate a barrel - hide! Here is such a magical thing - a vest! By the way, it can be worn under other coats, down jackets, parkas and jackets, worn over leather jackets, thin down jackets, jeans! Ideally, look for a vest coat with detachable sleeves. Here are examples in the photo

How to make a coat look more expensive?

1. Buttons. As with the purchase of bags and shoes, the coat “gives out” accessories. The simplest thing you can do to make your coat look expensive and beautiful is just to buy beautiful high-quality buttons and alter them! Everything is simple!
2. Lining. This life hack is already a little more expensive, but if you really need to look expensive, and the budget is limited, then you can get a little confused! And, perhaps at the same time, warm it a little!

Colors and prints

Let's now talk about what colors and prints are best to choose. I am not against black, and I love black very much, but if you look objectively, few people know how to wear it in an interesting way. And most often in winter you can see a black-gray-dark blue identical mass of people with the same dull faces. If you are thinking about buying a coat, then maybe you should pay attention to the color one?

Colors

If we talk about playing with color a little, then look at dark, but very noble colors: dark purple, emerald, dark red, cherry, blue, mustard ... Or play with bright colors that will be relevant in including spring: blue, lilac, yellow! First, even if it seems to you that you are completely devoid of taste and do not know how to choose interesting things, with only one bright coat you can create a very interesting look! A bright coat always attracts attention. Secondly, even if you have only basic things in your closet, then by combining several colors in an image, you can make a very interesting combination. I am not advocating that you become parrots, but dark noble colors are as basic as black. And it will be very difficult to mess with them.

Prints
Prints can play a trick on you and take your look to a whole new level!

1. similarity rule. So, how to choose a print. Ideally, if the size of the print is proportional to you. If you are large, then feel free to take bigger ones, if you are small and thin, then give preference. Sometimes this rule can be used to, on the contrary, emphasize your fragile physique, but this already requires certain skills, plus other principles of visual correction will need to be used in the image.
2. Color solution. Ideally, make sure that the colors in the print are close to or repeat the colors of the clothes or accessories with which you plan to wear this coat. With this approach, it will be very easy to make kits. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule, but again, it will be much easier to make a mistake.

insulation

Let's now talk about how to choose a really warm coat.

1. Wool will be warmer than acrylic. Cashmere and wool are approximately the same in terms of “warmth”, here the fabric only affects tactile sensations.
2. Choose an insulated coat. Insulation can be different: sheep wool lining, Shelter microfiber that can withstand temperatures up to -25 degrees, sherepon - a fiber made of wool and synthetic winterizer, synthetic winterizer.

How to pass in a coat all winter, even if you are not in a car? Naturally, an insulated coat costs more. But what if at the moment you don’t have the budget to buy a winter coat, for example, or you feel cold even in a winter coat?

1. Buy yourself a thin puff. These are in Uniqlo, Mango and benneton. They are inexpensive. Wear it under a coat, it will be much warmer, and besides, this is a very trendy combination of layers, making the look stylish and memorable. By the way, you can also wear woolen vests, leather jackets, jeans under the coat 😜
2. Buy yourself some good thermal underwear. It is imperceptible under clothes, and you will be much warmer. This is done not only by snowboarders, but also by fashionistas who want to look stylish in winter.
3. The rest of the clothes should also be warm. Tights are not nylon, but cashmere or 120 den and with a fleece lining, a dress, skirt or trousers made of wool, a sweater is better not cotton, but acrylic with the addition of wool, but preferably woolen or cashmere.
4. A hat, gloves, warm shoes and a scarf will not only make you stylish, but will also keep you warm.

Where could I buy

Now let's figure out where to find a coat for short height, preferably warmer. Russian brands

Online shopping

By the way, Jcrew coats are very wearable, so if you count the prices for the entire time that you can wear it and how many coats will keep their appearance, then the purchase will turn out to be very, very profitable. I have several coats from Jcrew, I'm honestly very glad I bought them. You can see how some of them sit on me. There is delivery to Russia.

  And add me to Instagram, there are my images and daily usefulness for miniatures.

Some girls, having short stature, acquire a number of complexes in vain. Miniature forms look very elegant and feminine. The main thing is to learn how to correctly present these virtues. By following certain rules, petite ladies can choose the right clothes and accessories in which they will look harmonious and even a little taller.

The best online stores

Perfect fit

Legs will look longer in dresses, skirts or trousers with high waist. In this case, the top should be filled. Choosing such models, you can allow an unobtrusive accent on the waist in the form of a thin strap that will not cut your figure and will look appropriate.

Correct length

Choose things of the correct length. Classic tops should be 5-8 cm below the waist, dresses and skirts - up to the knees. If you feel comfortable in a miniskirt, feel free to wear it. It will reveal all the beauty and length of your legs. Don't skip the maxi. A suitable model is one in which the hem line is just below the ankles.
Cropped trousers are not recommended. Pants with a maximum length just above the ankles are preferred. If the pants cover the heel slightly in the images with heels, this makes your legs longer.

Tight clothing

Petite ladies will look great in tight and uniform clothing, which gracefully follows the contours of the body. Knitted dresses, tops and skirts, skinny trousers and skinny jeans will flatter your figure. Avoid baggy and oversized models that will make your look awkward.

Outerwear

In case of outerwear let's say the following length range - from the waist to the knees. Such parameters will look perfect on small figures. Choose jackets, raincoats, coats with a straight cut or with an emphasis on the waist, small lapels and a minimal amount of decor.

Decor

Adding a couple of centimeters to your height will help V-neck or stand collar. For evening events, dresses and tops with a deep neckline are suitable. Refrain from voluminous flounces, bows, rich ruffles and multi-tiered models. All this lush decor will make your figure wider.

print

Girls with short stature are shown clothes with small pattern, a large print on a miniature figure will look bulky and out of place. A vertical strip of medium size will help to visually stretch the figure. This print can decorate dresses, skirts, and trousers. Cell choose the original - diagonal. It also has corrective properties and makes you a little taller.

Palette

Color spectrum must also be well chosen. Avoid sharp color contrast between the top and bottom. This configuration "cuts" the figure. Let the shades harmoniously combine, this will preserve the integrity of the image. Eliminate color-block models that will create unnecessary disproportions on a miniature figure.

Heel

Grow in the eyes of others will help heel- a win-win tool. Five or even ten centimeters to your height are guaranteed. But here, too, we set boundaries. The maximum height of the heel is 8-10 cm. The heel should not be extremely bulky and voluminous. You should not buy models with wide straps and lacing, they will steal your precious centimeters from you.

The best clothes are those that fit perfectly in style, emphasize advantages and visually hide imperfections. How to choose a coat so that it decorates and pleases? First of all, take into account the type of figure. I note that these are general recommendations that you can use based on your individual characteristics.

high waist

A coat with a high waist is suitable for girls of type A (Pear) figure due to the fact that it visually hides the volume in the lower part and emphasizes the fragile top. The high waist in this case helps to maintain a balance between the top and bottom, to make the proportions of the figure visually more harmonious.

High-waisted outerwear is also suitable for owners of the Oval (Apple) figure type, as it will visually hide the volume in the abdomen and divert attention from the not too pronounced waist.

Also, high-waisted coats can be taken into account by owners of the H (Rectangle) figure type, since such a model visually hides a not too pronounced waist.

Outerwear with a high waist is especially suitable for owners of fragile tops and small breasts. If this style is chosen by large women, you should pay attention to the fact that the waist line does not start immediately under the chest, but is located slightly lower, and that there are no additional frills or draperies in the chest area.

Trapeze (A-line)

Another style that perfectly, if necessary, masks the voluminous hips of the Pear, the lack of expression of the waist and the noticeable tummy of the Oval (Apple). And the owners of the type of figure V (Inverted Triangle) can balance the wide shoulders with the help of the A-silhouette.

Straight fit

This cut is suitable for type H (Rectangle), as it follows the lines of the figure. Although on a slender (precisely slender!) X (Hourglass) figure, straight-cut outerwear may look good, but it will not emphasize the main advantage - the feminine curves of this type of figure. You can try to wear such a coat with a belt to define the waist, but still this cut is not ideal for an hourglass.

Asymmetry

This style is a real magic wand that visually harmonizes the figure: it slims, hides an unexpressed waist, broad shoulders, and a tummy. Asymmetry can be in cut, details, patterns, colors. Outerwear with asymmetry is especially suitable for body types: H (Rectangle), which lacks feminine curves, Oval (Apple), which wants to appear slimmer, V (Inverted Triangle), to visually narrow the shoulders and look more feminine.

Color block (color block)

This fashion trend in clothing visually corrects the figure, slims (or, conversely, plump - depending on your goals), so color-block outerwear (with color blocks) is suitable for all types of figures. By playing with the arrangement of color blocks, you visually change the figure: for example, you can make the waist and shoulders narrower, and the hips wider. You can reduce the volume of the figure, or you can make them larger.

Tulip

Original, feminine style. This model is suitable for those who lack volume in the lower part of the figure: H (Rectangle), Oval (Apple), V (Inverted Triangle) figure types.

Flared models

Semi-fitted and fitted styles, flared down, favorably emphasize the beauty of the lines of the X-type figure (Hourglass). H (Rectangle) and V (Inverted Triangle) body types who want to add volume to the lower part of the figure will also fit these models. Such models also suit pears, but there is a nuance: if you are short, the waist line should be a little high, and then the fragile top will be emphasized favorably. Tall women should choose models in which the waistline is in its place or slightly lowered - then the coat will not look like a doll.

bathrobe

Very fashionable and comfortable style, from the "thrown and ran" series. This model will suit many, especially type H (Rectangle). But both type X (Hourglass) and Pear will be fine in it, the main thing is not to forget to accentuate the waist with a belt. I noticed for myself that it is the robe coat that has recently collected more compliments than even the beloved New Look. Because it's stylish and trendy. Of course, such a coat is less feminine, but in some situations and mood it is very practical.

Basque

A coat with a peplum not only visually creates volume where it is lacking for the owners of the Rectangle and Inverted Rectangle types, but, oddly enough, masks the voluminous hips of the Pear, if chosen correctly (peplum of the correct length, volume, location). And this coat is also original, and in it you definitely will not go unnoticed.

Cocoon

Oversized is in trend like never before, so the “cocoon” model, which was first presented to the fashionistas by the brilliant Cristobal Balenciaga, is especially relevant today. The cocoon is characterized by a tapering downward or straight shape, voluminous sleeves and sloping shoulders. This model remarkably emphasizes the fragility of its mistress. When choosing such a coat, consider your height and physique. A cocoon can hide figure flaws, but at the same time it can hide the whole figure, so use this model to play in contrast - show off slender legs and fragile wrists.

Women's coats in small sizes are classic products with a strict English collar, business-style models with contrasting trim, kimono styles with wide sleeves and a wrap. As you can see, there are quite a few options. It remains only to choose and buy a stylish women's coat that will allow the smallest girl to look taller, as feminine and sexy as possible.

Miniature owners of boyish figures often suffer from a seeming lack of femininity: insufficiently large breasts and narrow hips lead to melancholy and despondency. However, there are really no reasons to acquire complexes. Moreover, this type of figure can only be envied. It gives you a great choice of clothes according to your desired style. You can appear in the form of a charming tomboy, and in the form of an elegant, fragile girl. Remember Audrey Hepburn - stylish, thin, just class! In addition, designers have developed many models of women's coats in small sizes, which give girls the desired splendor of forms and smooth lines.

So, what does the world of fashionable coats offer for girls of petite stature and small size? Firstly, these are double-breasted models. In general, a double-breasted closure is not recommended for short women. The exception is thin girls. Two rows of buttons will visually add volume to the chest, slightly expand the silhouette - that is, bring it closer to the standards of femininity. You can look at cut-off styles. At the same time, a detachable, high-waisted double-breasted coat to the knees or above will not only add volume to the chest, but also emphasize the length of the legs.

The kimono style creates a feminine and romantic look.

The small size allows you to pay attention to the voluminous coat of a free cut. A kimono coat will look good, where a wide belt acts as a fastener. Soft draperies, dropped sleeves will help create a feminine romantic look. The shortened sleeves inherent in oriental styles will not only allow you to demonstrate, but also emphasize the grace of your hands.

Coat for short women with a standard figure

Classic, elegant, romantic coats that emphasize the femininity of forms

It is also easy for petite girls with a balanced figure to choose a coat in a small size. Classic strict models with an English collar, styles in everyday and business styles, distinguished by minimalism in details, will do. Given the short stature, large decorative elements should be avoided - they will attract too much attention and introduce an imbalance into the created image. But the shortened sleeve that is fashionable today will come in handy: this solution will visually increase growth. The waist can be emphasized with a narrow belt that can be tied into a knot with freely descending ends. But it is better if the belt is removable.

Vertical trim visually stretches the silhouette

Pay attention to the coat with vertical trim. It can be a single-breasted fastener with a row of medium-sized contrasting buttons, all kinds of trims, piping, decorative stitching, floor slits, V-shaped armholes. The vertical cut visually stretches the figure - you will appear taller and slimmer. The same effect can be achieved from a small or medium-sized print, oriented vertically. The contrast of colors or textures can also give an amazing result.

For short women with a full figure

Semi-fitted and fitted silhouettes will hide minor figure flaws

For petite girls of this type of build, semi-fitted and fitted women's coats, knee-length or mid-thigh length, are suitable. For tall women, stylists recommend large decorative elements, but this is not our case - height does not allow. Decorative elements can be replaced with inserts of fabric in a contrasting color or materials of different textures. In the latter case, boucle and coarse knits should be avoided. It is worth buying a product with long narrow sleeves, because. short and wide will only add volume to the waist, and this is exactly what should be avoided.

Women's coats for the type of figure "triangle"

A sleek top and a loose bottom is the perfect silhouette for the Inverted Triangle body type.

Finally, let's repeat the main recommendations. Women's coats for petite girls are styles characterized by exquisite simplicity. In combination with high quality wool, they will give the appearance of grace and elegance, they will look stylish on a short figure. The average length, as well as the vertical cut, will visually increase the growth, allow you to balance the silhouette. Cropped sleeves will showcase your hands in the most advantageous light. Successful purchases!

A coat is one of the most important items in every woman's wardrobe. If you choose the right style, you can hide small flaws in your figure. And here the question arises: how to choose the right coat to emphasize all the advantages of the silhouette.

Trendy colors in 2014 and 2015

If you take an interest in fashion trends, you will see that such an element of the wardrobe has become quite popular lately, replacing jackets and down jackets. This demand can be driven by two factors.

Firstly, such outerwear fits perfectly on the figure, emphasizing all the necessary curves. And secondly, due to the fact that in stores today you can see a huge amount of various fabrics, the choice of colors and textures is also very large.

Before proceeding with the choice of style, let's decide on the color. This season, dark blue, black, rich burgundy colors are quite popular.

When choosing, it is worth remembering that unsightly gray shades are a thing of the past, and the trend of the last five or six years can be considered a bright, saturated shade that can set you apart from the crowd and demonstrate your individuality in all its glory.

By the way, among the models quite often there are combined options. But, if you see a combination of two or three shades on the fabric, then do not rush to buy such a product. To begin with, you should determine for yourself whether this color will be appropriate in everyday life, because you do not buy a coat in order to appear in it once a year.

Fashionable coat styles in 2014 and 2015

This year it has become fashionable to create a deliberately shapeless image that is not able to emphasize any features of your figure. From some point of view, this idea is pretty good, because with this cut you can successfully hide any flaws. But, if you think about it, then emphasizing the merits in this case also fails.

Quite sloping shoulders are considered a feature of this cut, the view of which can be blocked with a rather wide collar. At the same time, it seems that the sleeves come out of the shoulders, which is due to the almost complete absence of a transition line.

Another characteristic innovation of this season is the absence of fitted models. Both autumn and winter styles of coats for women are more like men's cut, diluted with bright elements.

Now that we have looked at the most fashionable styles of winter clothes, let's face the truth. And this truth consists in the fact that only a very extravagant person who wants to shock others with his appearance can wear such models.

Indeed, if you look at the presented models, it will become noticeable that they in no way emphasize femininity and beauty.

Vice versa! All the flaws and virtues that make us women are reduced to ordinary formlessness, decorated for a change with bright colors. That is why it is worth choosing the style of the coat, starting from your figure.

And even if you decide to buy the most ordinary classic outerwear, but at the same time you have your own unique style and you feel like a queen, then do not hesitate for a second. Just buy the thing you like, despite all the fashion trends.

Choose the style of a coat from a drape

One of the quite popular materials for the manufacture of outerwear is drape. This material is multi-variant, because with its use you can make a coat both heavy and light.

In addition, you have a huge selection of colors at your disposal. That is why most models are sewn from drape, as it allows you to create a variety of models based on one sketch.

But this wonderful material has its drawbacks. If you do not dry the wet fabric in time, then there is a danger of deformation, which can ruin any style.

As for the choice of the model itself, then it is worth paying attention to the presence of additional accessories in the form of original fasteners and pockets. Do not forget that with wide hips, it is worth completely eliminating the presence of additional elements in the lower part.

How to choose the style of a coat for full

If you are the owner of magnificent forms, then the choice of outerwear should be approached very responsibly. Pay attention to the size.

Do not think that when buying a thing two sizes smaller, your own kilograms will disappear somewhere. Therefore, let's not go to extremes and choose something that will emphasize all our virtues.

When choosing, you need to rely on the following factors:

• The size. Checking if this model really suits you is very simple. You just need to try on a coat and sit down and bend over in it several times. If a suspicious cod is not heard, then the thing is not small for you. You should also not go to the other extreme - to mask all excess weight in a hooded coat;
• Picture. Looking for coats for fall? Then be sure to pay attention to the presence of a print. If it is unobtrusive, and does not make your figure too massive, then you can buy such a model. But if the mega trendy crossover print makes your hips look three sizes too big, then it's worth considering if you need such a fashion.

And in all other criteria, the choice of outerwear for overweight women is no different. The main thing is to carefully look in the mirror and take only what you like. Otherwise, you will feel out of place, constantly worrying that some kind of fold did not fit as it should.

We select the style of a coat for low

Fashionistas with small stature also need to be very careful when choosing clothes. First of all, it is worth abandoning long models that will visually shorten the figure.

Therefore, preference should be given to styles adjacent to the hips. So you can emphasize the waist, while lengthening the legs.
