As sad as it is to say, summer always ends and takes away the rich colors with it. Then follows a short time of golden autumn, after which the bright colors disappear completely, giving way to rather dull colors.
Does this make you sad? You don't want to blend in with the whims of nature? Well, this is quite possible, the main thing is to choose a colorful wardrobe. And you should start with a coat, because you definitely won’t leave the house without it. What color coat will help you stand out from the surrounding reality, feel attractive and passionate? Red! And our review about it:
What to wear with a short red coat
immediately agree that by short we mean up to the knee and above. So, a red coat of this length can go well with jeans.
Firstly , with blue boyfriends (possibly torn). We recommend pairing them with a simple white shirt and black or white heeled pumps (or white sneakers).
Secondly , with dark blue flared jeans. It is better if the coat has a belt. Shoes should be chosen with heels.
Thirdly , dark skinny jeans. They will look great with high boots. You can tuck a white or black blouse into them, or pick up a silk top or a voluminous sweater in a warm shade.
Fourthly , black ripped skinny jeans. A coat with hinged loops and a hood would go well with these, and a sweatshirt underneath the coat.
What about dresses and skirts? For a coat, choose either maxi length or knee length (so that it hides the outfit). Color range: black, beige, milky, dark blue, emerald, gold, gray. Floral and animal prints are welcome. In addition, you can wear fairly thick tights.
A short red coat is a possible element of a look with a trouser suit in white or black, leather skinny trousers, leather shorts, a silk shirt dress in black or cream.
Color combinations
A beautiful coat in a scarlet shade is a sure way to stand out from the gray crowd and demonstrate your excellent sense of taste. But in order for the looks with such outerwear to be harmonious, you need to take into account successful color combinations.
- A combination that has long stood the test of time is a spectacular tandem of red and black colors. This fashionable look combines style and restraint, and gives the lady elegance and sophistication.
Interesting! The combination of red and black is an excellent choice for girls who are rapidly moving up the career ladder.
- A combination with refreshing white things can also be considered a win-win option. Double hitting the trends is the presence of red, white and black colors in one image. Stylists advise choosing items in pure shades without unnecessary prints and decorations - this way the outfit will be as impressive as possible.

- But not just white! Good combinations with a red coat include light beige, light gray and light pink and pastel blue tones. The entire listed palette can dim the brightness of outerwear and make it more refined and noble.
- To create a noble and cozy look, you can combine a red coat with brown things. Many girls like this combination because of its calmness and elegance.
- If you are ready to decide on a combination of brighter shades, wear a scarlet coat in a duet with purple, green or blue. It is worth considering that such tones in one image look more refined in a noble matte finish.
- A combination of several red shades in one look should not be ruled out. In this case, stylists recommend using related tones of the same color temperature.
What to wear with a long red coat
not difficult to guess that here we are talking about a coat whose length is below the knee (midi, maxi variations). In this story, blue boyfriend jeans (worn and torn as well), pumps and white sneakers are still appropriate. They are joined by straight, rolled-up jeans, turtlenecks in warm shades and slightly rough heeled ankle boots.
Next come cropped trousers, black, beige, checkered (blue-red-black). Pair them with a simple T-shirt and heeled pumps for a very stylish look. We also recommend a look consisting of leather trousers (leggings are possible), a black/red sweater and black or white sneakers. You can’t imagine a better place for walking, and you definitely won’t be left deprived of admiring glances.
Dresses and skirts are midi length. Straight, fitted, slightly flared at the bottom. These can be simple T-shirt dresses or shirts, textured pleated skirts, long sleeve dresses.
Style rules for women over 40
Clothing is what helps us broadcast our personality to society: our beliefs, emotions, character. Your style is you in material terms. Throughout life, we inevitably change: our habits, views, tastes change. Therefore, at some point, you may find that you no longer feel comfortable in your clothes. Then, read these simple rules that will help you understand how a woman over forty can effectively present herself:
- 1. To each his own. Let the “cheerful” T-shirts and skirts with bows remain with the daughters, but long heavy skirts and turtleneck sweaters will not go to anyone.
- 2. Comfort and beauty. It becomes harder to walk in heels for days, but this is not a reason to buy galoshes. Expand your horizons - designers are not asleep; they have long come up with a lot of beautiful and comfortable shoes.
- 3. A drop of color. If you are no longer a hippie, you shouldn’t dress in all the colors of the rainbow, but black and gray won’t decorate anyone either. Any look will become fresher and sunnier with one or two colored items.
- 4. Soft pastel. If you still want to get away from the workers and no longer see costume colors, choose things in pastel shades. They will make the appearance softer and will be combined with each other.
- 5. Geometric prints. They will suit everyone, but flowers and “funny” designs can ruin everything.
Red coat without collar
this coat with everything that was mentioned in the previous paragraphs, depending on the length, of course. A variety of jeans and cropped trousers will look great with it. Black and cream dresses, white shirts. Cozy sweaters in warm colors and turtlenecks, decorated with necklaces with stones.
are suitable: sneakers, thick-heeled ankle boots, high boots, pumps, loafers and oxfords. It would seem that this coat does not require a separate item, but we wanted to draw your attention to this model as one of the most stylish. There is no need to burden it with scarves (it’s better to wear something with a high neck in case of cold weather), it is interesting in itself and creates a special silhouette. We offer some photographic examples:
Exquisite styles
The women's red coat, thanks to the efforts of designers, attracts attention with a luxurious selection of styles. Conventionally, they can be divided into two large groups: long and short.
The long model is, first of all, a straight-cut red coat, close to the classic double-breasted Ulster, single-breasted redingote with a turn-down shawl collar and English with a polo collar. Such styles are given a deliberately strict style, characteristic of the images of royalty and capable of softening the “aggressiveness” of the red color.
The range of short red coat models is much wider. The undisputed leaders among them are the duffle coat, trapeze, kimono and the women's version of the peacoat. Pea coat is a short double-breasted coat with a wide collar and welt pockets. Very often it is performed in the form of a trench coat, adding a belt to the main characteristics of a medium width. The duffle coat is designed for those ladies who prefer to combine the brightness of the red shade and a practical cut. Women's models are often made with a zipper, masked by a recognizable clasp on large, fang-shaped buttons. The kimono, also known as a wrap coat, has a fairly loose cut; the degree of fit around the waist of a beautiful lady is adjusted using a wide belt. It is worth noting that the kimono can take on a French cut, the distinctive feature of which is an extra-wide collar, which can be transformed into a hood if necessary.
But still, the most interesting is the red trapeze coat (swinger). The thing is that the characteristic flared silhouette of this double-breasted model can start at different heights. This is the shoulder line, characteristic of classic English capes, and the chest line (traditional trapezoid), and the waist line, when executed, the hem sometimes takes the shape of a “sun” or “bell” cut.
And the last style characteristic of a red coat is a stylized poncho. Its distinctly loose silhouette is complemented by a scarf sewn into the collar. This model can most often be found in lookbooks of fashion collections rather than in everyday wear.
Which scarf and hat to wear with a red coat
- gray or off-white knitted scarf
- red silk scarf or wool scarf
- black snood
- voluminous scarf or stole in a checkered pattern (red, burgundy, grey, blue, black)
- a black or dark blue hat with a not too wide brim
- grey, black, milky, red beret
- fur hat made of gray, black, light brown fur
Who is it suitable for?
A red coat is a must-have in the wardrobe of every confident woman, bright and noticeable. Which is not afraid of bold experiments and non-trivial fashion solutions. Clothes in scarlet tones invariably attract the gaze of others, so a lady who prefers a red tone is always the center of attention.
The universal red color makes the image both provocative and close to the classics, but it does not forgive mistakes. Not all ladies can afford bright shades that emphasize natural beauty and at the same time expose figure imperfections for everyone to see.
By type of appearance
Women with black to blue or dark chestnut curls that stand out against the background of snow-white skin with an occasional blush appearing are classified as “contrasting winter.” The eyes of these ladies are bright, usually brown or blue, light blue, violet, and gray. The beauty and expressiveness of the “winter” appearance will be enhanced by any tone of red, but most of all by cold and pure ones: rich scarlet or noble wine.
The “airy spring” type includes women with a pinkish or golden skin tone, flaxen, straw or light red hair, pale blue, greenish or gray, bleached brown eyes. Diluted shades of scarlet, cherry, coral, and brick are suitable for them. Saturated tones will only make the image heavier.
Representatives of the “romantic summer” group have milky white, pinkish with blush, olive skin tones, curls with an ashy touch, light blue, gray-green eyes. The lightness of the image is emphasized by muted tones of red: scarlet, wine, lingonberry. A bright color palette, on the contrary, will add vulgarity to a sophisticated “summer” look.
The skin of women with a “warm autumn” appearance type is yellowish, reminiscent of champagne, peach with a pinkish tint, or transparent white with red freckles. The eyes are bluish-gray, golden-hazel with specks, green with emerald sparkles. The hair is red (from light carrot to copper tones), chestnut, light with a golden tint. For “autumn” ladies, cool shades of pomegranate, rowan, and tomato are suitable. But in order not to overload the image with excess brightness, you should use contrasting dark accessories.
According to the age
A pale red color scheme is suitable for young girls. For young women, a bright color palette consisting of scarlet, cherry, and crimson shades would be appropriate. Ladies over 30 will be able to emphasize the sexuality of the image with rich tones of red with warm notes. And for older representatives of the fair sex, you should choose exquisite muted shades of lingonberry, wine, pomegranate in combination with achromatic colors (white, black and gray).
What accessories to wear with a red coat
Don't forget about other accessories, they are powerful weapons. Sunglasses and regular glasses with black frames, a red or black handbag with a thin strap, leather gloves matching the color of the handbag, elegant gold jewelry with stones, belts.
