With the arrival of cold weather, you have to take warm outerwear out of the closet. But I want to remain feminine at any time of the year! And nothing emphasizes beauty more than a well-chosen dress. In cold weather it is covered with a coat. And if it does not match the length of the dress, uncertainty arises: what does it look like from the outside? We'll tell you how the lengths of different products can be combined.
Rules for a harmonious combination of dress and coat
There are many points of view on this matter. And sometimes they are radically opposite. This is not surprising, because each bow must be considered individually. The final decision may be influenced by the theme of the image, mood, style and material of clothing. And also the features of the figure, the personal preferences of the woman.
However, it is still worth listening to the advice of professionals.
Important! It is believed that for visual harmony, the optimal length of the part of the skirt peeking out from under the coat should be no more than a third of the length of the outerwear.
However, today another trend is becoming more and more widespread: longer skirt - shorter top. It looks interesting and original. But it is most suitable for tall and slender fashionistas with a good figure. And not every weather can use this option. After all, a short jacket provides worse protection in cold weather than a long coat.
Let's say right away that the dress peeking out from under the outerwear is not the only combination.
Combination options
There are several options for combinations of dress and coat lengths. And each of them deserves a separate description.
Length is the same
Classic option and ideal solution – dress and outerwear of the same length. This suggests that the girl approached her choice of image with great responsibility.
Important! An image with a midi skirt and an equally long coat must be complemented with textured shoes. Shoes, shoes or boots should emphasize all the curves of the foot.
Shapeless shoes in this case will simplify the image.
The dress is shorter than the coat
With midi and maxi length coats, this combination is also universal and win-win. This look will always look stylish and feminine.
When when the outerwear is above the knee, it is necessary to balance the bottom. Do not leave your legs bare under any circumstances! After all, in cold weather this can pose health risks.
Advice. Complement a short dress with maximally high boots or very thick tights.
It’s better to use both options.
You should never wear a tight mini-length skirt with an even shorter raincoat or coat.. Especially when the outerwear also fits the silhouette, and even highlights the waist area with a belt. It looks very vulgar and defiant.
The dress is longer
This combination is constantly controversial.In order not to cross the fine line between fashionable zest and complete bad taste, attention should be paid to the nuances.
- A midi or maxi length dress goes well with a short coat, down jacket or elegant fur coat.
- For an attractive combination, you can choose a dress that is only a couple of centimeters longer.
- Remember the formula for creating a harmonious image. It is important that the dress peeks out from under the coat by no more than a third of the length of the outerwear, counting from the waistline. This option looks incredibly attractive.
Important! There is an unspoken rule: the longer the skirt and the looser the belt on the coat, the more aristocratic the lady looks.
Therefore, many ladies prefer to wear outerwear without a belt or tie it behind their back. This solution allows you not to overload the silhouette with anything, making the bow as elegant as possible.
In what cases does a dress under a coat not spoil the image?
If a girl is too worried that a long skirt look will be too tacky, there are a couple of fashion tricks to try.
- Trending today total looks. So you can safely dress entirely in one color. Of course, doing this tone-on-tone is quite problematic. Therefore, a variation of several shades is even welcome. This way the image will look more complete.
- Don't neglect high-heeled shoes. Otherwise, outerwear that is shorter than a skirt can visually make your legs shorter. And the figure will become disproportionate. The best fit for this look is high boots, which are coquettishly hidden under the hem and form a complete vertical leg.
- Combine a dress and outerwear of similar silhouettes. If the dress is straight cut, then the outerwear should have straight lines.A fluffy skirt with a straight and formal coat will look ridiculous.
And further. If suddenly you managed to put together a wonderful set from the things in your closet that doesn’t quite fit into all the laws of style, feel free to wear it. The main thing is that you like the reflection in the mirror. After all, the main task of fashion is to emphasize individuality. And the kit in which you feel as comfortable as possible copes best with this difficult task.
