Jacket - This is a type of women's waist-length jacket.
Among the many details that make up the wardrobe of a modern woman, the jacket, due to its versatility and practicality, occupies a special place.
The shortened back length is the main, but not the only distinguishing feature of popular clothing. The interest of the fairer sex in the jacket is explained by the variety of its styles. Fashion designers manage to achieve this through different versions of individual parts of the product.
Depending on the characteristics of your figure, you can choose a narrow fitted style, as well as a loose-fitting product.
Without limiting themselves to the standard length of jackets (to the waist), stylists decided to experiment further and create shortened versions. The bottom cut of such models does not reach the waist line.
No less common is the style, the length of which almost reaches the middle of the thigh. At the same time, the elongated jacket remains shorter than the classic jacket.
Most products have a decorative detail for decorating the collar of clothing. But the presence of a collar is not necessary; styles that do not have them are no less popular.
Taking into account the situation, a woman can choose a classic long-sleeve option. For the warm season, products with three-quarter sleeves, short ones, or jackets without sleeves are more suitable.
The clasp adds additional originality to the items. Various accessories are used for it: buttons (regular and decorative), zippers, brooches, hairpins. They can be arranged in one or two rows (on single-breasted and double-breasted products), the asymmetrical cut of the shelves and the same arrangement of fittings look interesting.
For decoration, fashion designers use braid, cords, embroidery, lace inserts, etc.
Initially, thick woolen or knitted fabrics were used for sewing. Gradually, fashion designers discovered to fashionistas the advantages of jackets made of other materials: lightweight linen or cotton.
Today you can also buy jackets made of leather or silk, models made of lace or combined fabrics.
A modern woman's wardrobe can contain several jackets at the same time. But no one will call their owner monotonous if their styles are not repeated. To do this, you need to purchase jackets of the following models.
The classic model is a plain jacket to the waist, slightly fitted or loose, reminiscent of a short jacket.
The traditional version is made of thick fabric, has long sleeves, and is fastened with buttons (available as a single-breasted or double-breasted version).
Reference! The classic version is suitable for women of different ages and body types, and is used for everyday use during cold weather.
For many, a blazer becomes a kind of badge of honor. This is no coincidence. After all, blazers are club jackets that indicate professional affiliation or membership in an interest group. Identical blazers are worn by students of a certain educational institution, employees of a major campaign, members of a golf or yachting club.
Blazers are quite laconic; decor is used to a minimum (for example, decorative cord for decoration).
The functionality of the blazer is achieved by using a special emblem with the name of the club, company or educational institution.
A distinctive feature of blazers is the use of metal fittings (buttons, zippers).
A woman can transform her image with the help of a variety such as a bolero. This is the shortest version of jackets, the length of which does not reach the waist, but ends under the chest.
Boleros are not complemented with other details; pockets and button fastenings are not used when sewing these short jackets.
Reference! Bolero is a decorative option that is used with evening dresses that have open shoulders.
A cozy and comfortable cardigan is a knitted jacket made of knitted fabric. The main function of a cardigan is insulation, and the knitted product performs it so elegantly that it is a decoration for a woman. Long sleeves, patch pockets, beautiful buttons for fastening are signs of a high-quality cardigan.
Reference! Wool cardigans, hand-knitted or crocheted, never go out of fashion.Their additional advantage is exclusivity, the ability to demonstrate a single version of the jacket.
A practical jacket in a military style is a sign of another type of jacket, which is called a safari. This variety is characterized by a special loose cut. Mandatory safari details - a belt along the bottom cut line. Other additional details are possible - several patch pockets of different sizes on the shelves and sleeves, shoulder straps or epaulettes.
Different types of jackets will be appropriate in different situations.
Classic options, blazers, cardigans - clothes for the office. They go well with shirts, blouses, turtlenecks, for the bottom you can choose classic trousers, pencil skirts, suitable shoes - office shoes with a stable heel or with a solid sole.
A safari or a cardigan with jeans or shorts will help you feel free and relaxed while walking and in everyday communication. For a summer walk, a light jacket with a wide skirt is suitable; it can be worn with a top or T-shirt, or simply on a naked body.
For an evening celebration, to visit a restaurant or a theater performance, you need to create a special image. To do this, you can wear an evening dress and bolero or a fitted jacket with a beautiful skirt, narrow and flowing or fluffy and flowing.
Jackets in the wardrobe of a modern woman are classic and modern, style and elegance, an opportunity to surprise with new looks and combinations.
