A striking coat

We are in a time of uniqueness, where each person's personality is a fundamental aspect of their style of dress. With cold days becoming more and more common, there are pieces of clothing that are essential and necessary for the season. Especially in places with strong winters.

And if there is one essential piece, it is the coat. Known as the third piece, the coat is a striking part of an outfit, being responsible for the functional part, protecting against the cold, and also for the aesthetic function, highlighting the style.

Coats fit all styles, from the most basic to the most maximalist. They can go unnoticed by those who prefer a more minimalist look or they can also be the key piece of an extravagant look. It all depends on the style and the material. The color is the first factor to choose, followed by the material, that is, the fabric, and then the shape, which we call the style.

In recent years, coats with a more artisanal look have gained ground. With the power of upcycling, a technique that gives a new life to something that would otherwise be discarded, coats made from old embroidered and patchwork blankets and quilts have appeared and gained a lot of space in fashion. The reuse of sustainable fabrics and materials is also a growing trend, and each day it presents more incredible visual elements! Knitted, crocheted, macramé, and denim jackets are so common these days that brands have opened their eyes to the trend and invested heavily in these techniques.

For men looking for something more dynamic, colorful coats are also stand-out pieces, with fun linings and creative prints. They are perfect to combine with jeans and basic t-shirts. Many artists have collaborated with important brands, opening up the fashion market with elements of art, in unique prints and applications, which make any occasion a work of art!

For those who prefer classics, longer coats made of blended wool will always be the best option. With countless colors available, from a neutral palette with a focus on beige, brown or gray, to a warmer palette with mustard yellow and light green, the traditional long coat of good quality will always stand out. To gain style, a quick trick is to opt for a neutral suit and a coat in a warm color.

Leather is a timeless material, and in recent years it has gained more prominence with looser models. Oversized coats are great options for cold places, which require layers of shirts, sweaters and blazers to face the winter. Leather serves almost as a cape, since it blocks the cold, in addition to being visually very beautiful. But be careful: well-hydrated and cared for leather, without dryness or visible mold!

A coat is an important piece and its price justifies its presence. We can say that a coat is an investment, especially if it is from a good brand that combines high-quality fabric and modeling. Therefore, when choosing and buying a good coat, think first about its function and your personal style. After all, it will be in your wardrobe for many years to come!
