Outerwear plays an important role in shaping a woman's image and style. It will take maximum attention and a little design talent to create harmonious looks and attractive ensembles. How and with what to wear a raincoat, your own intuition and fashion preferences will tell you.
The choice of clothing depends on many factors - body type, build, age, color type of appearance. When creating trendy looks, you should listen to the advice of stylists, take into account fashion priorities, your inner attitude and your own mood.
Features of constructing ensembles
Each item is authentic and requires a special approach when combined with other items of clothing. The choice of models depends on the style and image you want to create. For example, fashionable French jackets paired with sophisticated suits or pencil skirts and elegant blouses are suitable for business ladies. Girls who prefer gothic style can use a black total look or combine dark robes, raincoats - coats with long dresses in a discreet brown or blue shade. Urban “grunge” accepts combinations of things that are dissimilar in style; it can be a sports model in the form of an a-line and an elegant floor-length skirt or a tight-fitting jacket in combination with boyfriend jeans.
Stylists advise combining things in the oversized style with raincoats - parkas, raincoats or dusters. Strict and discreet products are more compatible with double-breasted jackets or belted trench coats. Outerwear, which includes many decorative details, looks great combined with simple and elegant things. Raincoats with expressive edging are best combined with items of color that matches the shade of outerwear. If the elements of the ensemble are restrained and simple, then the look can be complemented with bright accessories - gloves, a scarf, a clutch or a fashionable neckerchief.
Checkered coat
The fashionable checkered print is not losing its position; there are more than enough variations of it this season, including houndstooth, buffalo check, Vichy, Prince of Wales, windowpane, tartan and many other variations.
The color interpretations of the checkered print used in new fashionable raincoats will also differ. You can choose a model with a bright and accent checkered print or, on the contrary, a calm and discreet model.
Model compatibility
If you want to look harmonious, dignified and presentable, use items of similar styles and compatible colors. When using a raincoat with a belt, you can wear a skirt whose length does not exceed the length of the top item. Exquisite raincoats that resemble dresses are ideally combined with tight-fitting sundresses, leggings and openwork sweaters. Trousers can be combined with raincoats of any length and shape. Wide pants are best worn with parkas, while tapered or skinny pants are more compatible with fitted, mid-length clothing. Single-breasted designs can be worn open, showing off your beautiful curves with bodycon dresses or short skirts and plunging blouses.
Jeans and jeggings will go well with a drawstring coat with a hood. Business ladies choose midi skirts, shirts and medium-length raincoats, while fatal beauties opt for cropped models, miniskirts or exotic shorts. On a romantic date, you can wear a short raincoat and a miniature sheath dress, and on a long trip, a jacket - a raincoat with a hood and comfortable trousers - will come in handy. The luxurious long pattern is compatible with midi skirts and jumpers, leggings and tunics. The ideal outfit for attending presentations and cultural events is medium-length items made from elegant fabrics and combined with elegant trouser or skirt suits.

Summer coats pair perfectly with sandals, while fall outerwear pairs with ankle boots or closed-toe shoes.
Accessories are designed to emphasize women's individuality, so you should carefully choose decorating elements. To accentuate a business image, watches, bracelets, and a spherical bag are suitable. A silk scarf, brooch or fashionable jewelry with imitation precious stones will be useful for a special event. You can wear gloves, glasses, a scarf and create a street look. Active youth prefer elements that emphasize a sporty style - a pedometer, watches with navigation or gadgets that monitor the physical condition of the body.
