Checkered items never go out of style; they always look stylish and add a special playfulness to any look. If you like this type of print, then designers recommend adding a checkered coat to your wardrobe. It will be your “lifesaver” in creating autumn-winter looks and will go with almost any shoes, dress, trousers, etc.
This wardrobe item will suit almost everyone – for young girls and older ladies, slender and plump, brunettes and blondes, the main thing is that when choosing such outerwear, carefully select the remaining components of the wardrobe. In this article we'll sort it out basic rules for combining style, season, body type and color.
What to combine with a checkered coat
Let's look at the main types of cells and what to combine them with.
Varieties
Scottish cell
This type of cage is more popular and is very loved by many designers (photo). This is the same classic red check that pops up in our imagination when we mention Scotland. A coat with this print looks very stylish with rough boots with tractor soles or Chelsea boots, as well as with a leather dress or trousers. So, you will create a very dynamic and vibrant image. And yes, this stylistic decision is more suitable for the autumn season than the winter.
REFERENCE! The classic Scottish check (hereinafter referred to as Tartan) came to us from Scotland. Initially, Tartan was woven from those threads and used those dyes that were “underfoot.” Black and brown colors were given by alder, orange by heather, and purple by blueberries. Each Scottish clan had its own type and color of cell, depending on its territorial location.
Small (Glen Check)
Most often, such a cell is presented in calm and restrained colors: black and white, black and gray, beige and black. It looks good in combination with a classic style or office dress code, as it is considered very modest and aristocratic. A coat with such an ornament is also best combined with a calm and plain bottom. Classic basic trousers, turtlenecks, shirts, sheath dresses - this will be the best combination both in autumn and winter.
Large (“VICHY”)
This type is the intersection of two stripes of equal width, but different in shade. "Vichy" is definitely intended for the winter period. Of course, no one forbids wearing it in the fall, but among the white snowdrifts such a cage will look much more advantageous. This coat can be combined with absolutely any style, you just need to pay attention to its length and style.
Style and body type
Now let's look at the features of women's figures.
If you are the type "hourglass", then you can safely choose a coat of any style and type of check.
IMPORTANT! Despite the fact that the print itself will suit any fashionista, from small to large, you should choose a style in accordance with your body type.
For girls curvy You should give preference to a straight and flared product, with a medium-sized cage, since “Vichy” will visually add size.
If your figure is of the type "apple", then pay attention to shortened models, for example, a coat.
But for women very slim A large check is just right; it goes well with a double-breasted coat.
Color combinations
Try to create your image in one color shade. So, for example, if the main thing you are wearing is a red coat with a black tartan check, then select the remaining elements according to it. Black or gray jeans, dark boots, a bag close to a red shade, dark gray gloves, a dark blue scarf, etc.
If cell on you small in calm tones of white and black, you can dilute the look with a scarf in the same print, but with red stripes (the cage should be smaller than on the coat). For example, a gray shade looks good with wine, no matter what it is, a sweater, a beret or a bag. Bright colors should be balanced with simple basic colors so as not to look too pretentious.
Shoes and accessories for a plaid coat in the fall
Be sure to complement your look with accessories, they are an integral part of any look. A checkered coat is already very bright in itself, therefore, accessories should not be “flashy”.
Towards a classic cut Suitable for various types berets, hats, leather gloves, warm wide stoles. If it's early autumn and it's still quite warm and sunny outside, don't forget about sunglasses. The most popular accessory is a scarf; try to choose more discreet models in calm shades or do without it.
Shoes should also match in style, and, most importantly, in the weather. Short options up to mid-thigh will suit over the knee boots, as well as ankle boots and rough boots any model convenient for you.
Long coat, looks good with thick-heeled or low-heeled boots with a wide shaft just below the knee.
Tips and tricks
- Give preference to products made of wool and cashmere. The higher the percentage of wool, the warmer and more durable the item will be. The cage in this design looks even more noble.
- If you prefer oversized items, remember that a coat should not look like a bag on you. Large ladies should avoid large cages on this model.
- No one has canceled layering; a plain sleeveless vest worn under a checkered coat looks very stylish. Many brands produce ready-made such models.
- A long checkered coat is interesting in itself, and does not require flashy accessories and shoes. Otherwise, the image will be overloaded.
By adding a checkered coat to your wardrobe, you will remain fashionable year after year, because the checkered coat has won the hearts of all leading fashion houses. The main thing is to remember to combine it correctly with other elements of the costume.
