Women's outerwear

With the arrival of the cold seasons, outerwear becomes the protagonist of our wardrobe. Not only do they protect us from the cold, but they are also a way to express our personal style. In this article, we will explore the essence of outerwear, the materials, the design, the colors and trends, the fit and how to best combine them.

Elegance, Functionality and Style

Outerwear

Outerwear is more than just a layer to protect you from the cold. It is an expression of personal style and a key element in completing an outfit. A good piece of outerwear can transform a simple look into something extraordinary, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication. Whether it's a leather jacket for a rebellious look or a wool coat for a touch of class, outerwear plays an essential role in every woman's wardrobe.

Our advice: With its combination of eco-friendly vest and down jacket, the reversible eco-sheepskin “Pammy” hazelnut by NENETTE , you will enjoy warmth and style on every occasion. Perfect for those looking for an eco-friendly and fashionable option.

Materials

The choice of materials for outerwear is crucial to ensure comfort and durability. Wool is perfect for winter coats due to its ability to retain heat. Polyester is often used for lighter jackets, offering water resistance and ease of maintenance. Leather, on the other hand, is a classic that offers both style and longevity. Sustainability is increasingly important, with recycled and eco-friendly materials becoming more popular.

Our advice: The long regular jacket in soft fabric by FRACOMINA , with side opening, wide collar, side pockets, and long sleeves, is a versatile choice.

Design

Outerwear designs vary greatly, offering options for every taste and occasion. Trench coats with their classic and elegant cut are perfect for the office, while parkas with functional details are ideal for leisure. Oversized coats offer a modern and relaxed look, while tailored coats emphasize a sophisticated silhouette. Details such as buttons, zippers and belts add functionality and style.

Our advice: A perfect example is the short double-breasted regular jacket in grey melange faux fur by FRACOMINA , with a high collar, buttons for opening, and pockets on the front.

Colors and Trends

Colors and trends in outerwear change every season. Neutral colors like black, gray, and beige are always a safe bet, while bright colors like red or green can add a pop of personality. Current trends include a return to retro coats, animal prints, and the use of faux fur. Experimenting with colors and patterns is a great way to express your own unique style.

Our tip: The long two-tone faux fur coat by ACTITUDE TWINSET , in synthetic fur with a spotted animal print, wide lapels and single-breasted fastening with hidden hooks, is an example of a modern trend.

Fit

Fit is key for outerwear. A good coat should be comfortable and fit well without restricting movement. When trying on a coat, it is important to wear similar pieces to what you will wear it with to check the fit. The shoulders should fit snugly and the sleeves should reach the wrists without being too long or too short.

Our tip: LIU JO 's grey belted wool blend coat is a perfect example of an ideal fit, with a lapel collar, side pockets and cuffs with a strap and logo button.

Pairings and How to Create the Perfect Look

Matching outerwear with other pieces and accessories is an art that can completely transform your look. Different types of outerwear lend themselves to different styles and occasions, and knowing how to match them is essential to maximizing the potential of your wardrobe.

Long Coats

A long coat pairs perfectly with formal dresses. Think of a wool coat over a pencil dress and high heels for a sophisticated look. For a finishing touch, add a silk scarf and leather gloves. If you prefer a more casual look, you can wear a long coat with skinny jeans, an oversized sweater and high boots.

Tip : The stretch cotton blend denim coat by LIU JO is ideal for creating chic and casual combinations. Lapel collar, welt pocket on the chest, buttoned cuffs, flap pockets on the sides and a slit on the back make it versatile and suitable for different occasions.
