Mature ladies usually already know what style of clothing suits them best. And since the coat is most often bought for several seasons, it is worth betting on proven classics and subtle elegance. You should definitely avoid too loose outfits - it is necessary to adjust the coat to the figure. It is also a good idea to move away from monotonous, subdued colors, and instead it is better to bet on something more vivid and "spring" - even in winter.

Classic colors of women's coats for mature? Mostly black, gray, beige and brown are dominant. These colors are universal and timeless, but it is recommended to abandon this pattern, which will allow you to visually "rejuvenate" you a bit.

Women's coats - adjust them to the figure

In order to look good in a coat, it should be properly fitted to the figure. Here are some basic guidelines for the four main types of figure:

  • Hourglass - the most desirable figure, with good proportions of the top and bottom and a nice waistline. It is worth emphasizing all these advantages, avoiding too loose coats and trying to emphasize the waist line. Women's coats for mature people with a trench cut or fashionable designs resembling a bathrobe will be good. The waist line is best marked with a belt, button closure or oblique pockets. Ladies with an hourglass figure can also boldly reach for coats with a slightly flared bottom.
  • Pear - the bottom is slightly wider than the top. What coat will be the best? First of all, we focus on the optical broadening of the treble. Various sewings are recommended (e.g. epaulets), wide collars or pockets at the height of the bust. A flared bottom or an A-shaped coat will also allow you to cleverly mask wide hips or massive thighs. It is better to avoid the stripes emphasizing the waist line, because this way we will expose the disproportions of the figure.
  • Apple - this type of figure often goes hand in hand with slim, skinny legs. That's why it's worth itput on the coat length so that they are best visible. Typefaces? Trapezoidal, box-shaped, without sewing on the top, with an indentation in the neckline - these are a solution worth recommending. Simple, single-breasted styles are much better than flared ones.
  • Column - in the case of this figure, the waistline is small, so it is worth emphasizing it nicely. Better accentuation of the hips, which in the case of columns are approximately the same width as the shoulders, will also be useful. Perfect coat cut? V-neckline, waistline, slightly flared hem. Decorative buttons (and two rows of them) as well as ruffles are also welcome. It is worth avoiding too wide sleeves, especially puffy ones.

Classic cuts for mature ladies

Mature ladies should direct their interest towards the classics and modern minimalism. Both solutions are very universal, so they will satisfy people in their prime, who are not prone to fashion experiments and are more aware of their own style. Trench coats and double-breasted coats will always fall out perfectly.

Among the classic models, there are also fashionable trapezoidal and slightly flared cuts. You do not have to be afraid of box styles, as long as we choose them according to the figure (more about that above). Or maybe a more youthful look? Correspondingly, the solution is either a coat resembling a long parka jacket or a short model. However, it is good to focus on subdued colors in the case of the latter.

Colors of women's coats for ladies 50+ and 60+

Mature ladies usually choose brown, black, gray, beige or navy blue coats. Of course, such colors are universal, but sometimes the styling can be too monotonous. So what colors are worth paying attention to? You certainly do not need to be afraid of red, which promotes femininity at any age. Black pants or leather accessories match it.

Another option is more vivid shades of blue, especially turquoise and a distinctive sapphire. Colors such as burgundy, brick-red orange, mustard, ocher, violet and coral are also becoming more and more popular. A women's coat in such a color will optically look a bit younger. The expressive shade can be subdued with accessories or other elements of clothing (e.g. trousers).

Wool coats - pay attention to the material

Wool coats enter the trends in autumn and winter. They have great practical properties - they keep the heat well and at the same time allow the skin to breathe. In addition, they are resilient, resistant to creases, damage, they get dirty and soak slowly. You can invest in one without any worriescoat, looking for an outfit for years.

But there is one condition - it must be good quality wool. In addition, make sure on the tag that the coat is made of 100% wool. The low price should definitely be a warning signal (pure wool is never particularly cheap). Then we can expect admixtures of synthetic fibers (such as acrylic or polyester), which already means lower quality.

Another important thing is the type of wool. If it is not specified on the tag, it is most likely sheep wool. This material has great practical value, but it also "bites" a bit. Merino wool, that is sheep living in difficult conditions (mainly in Australia and New Zealand - low temperatures in winter, high temperatures in summer), will be softer and more delicate - softer to the touch, more solid, providing even better thermal comfort for the skin.

Merino wool, often referred to as merino wool, does not wrinkle at all, and also perfectly absorbs moisture. Another noble type of wool is that of cashmere goats. It is distinguished by its extraordinary softness and beautiful shine, all of which go hand in hand with high durability. The goats are also used to obtain mohair wool. Less often we find camel wool, alpaca or Angora rabbit.

Winter coats

The best investment for the winter will be a coat made of wool. We will easily keep it in good quality for years. Cotton coats have slightly worse thermal properties. Their advantage, however, is easier care (ordinary washing in a washing machine), and what is important - like wool, they allow the skin to breathe.

Coats made of synthetic fibers will not be the best choice. They pilling faster and they wick moisture away not very well. As a result, we sweat more, which significantly reduces the comfort of use.

Synthetic fibers do not always last for years. A coat made of them may turn out to be a purchase for only one season. When it comes to styles and colors, it is worth following the tips described above.

Spring and autumn coats

Light spring and fall coats for mature people are usually trench cuts. You can also think of a simple 3/4 length coat or, on the contrary, a short one, so that you can focus more on styling your lower body. When it comes to materials, natural cotton is especially recommended.

What to put your coats with?

Mature ladies can easily combine coats with virtually any item of clothing. They often avoid pants because they supposedly "add" age. This, however, is not true! If they have beenproperly adjusted to the figure, they can be used to achieve the opposite effect. Elegant jumpsuits, dresses and skirts also perfectly match the coat. It is worth for the latter to reach below the knees.
