It is generally accepted that the cloak is the first piece of clothing that man invented. Today's look is presented in different variations, so everyone can choose their own model. But first you need to figure out the criteria by which you will select the appropriate option.
Female figure
It is the physique that is the starting point, since you need to expressively emphasize the dignity of your body, and hide some of its features:
Pear
Most likely, you are the owner of wide hips, so we look towards raincoats with a wide top and a straight bottom, which will not overly tighten the hips. Do not buy long lengths, limit the hem to the knee or mid-thigh. Pay attention to models with patch chest pockets, shoulder straps or wide sleeves. If desired, you can complement the image with a scarf or buff.
An Apple
Your body type should not focus on the waist, so we choose its overstated version. Do not use any belts or large designs. The asymmetrical version is perfect for you. The sleeves should be moderately narrow, and the total length of the cloak should be up to mid-thighs.
Hourglass
Do not ruin your figure with irregular forms of clothing, choose a fitted raincoat. A pronounced belt will be a good addition to it. The optimal length is up to the knee. Avoid frills such as patch pockets and other decorative elements that add volume in unnecessary places. You shouldn't buy straight cut models.
Rectangle
You need to give your look more roundness. Decorating in the form of patch pockets and frills along the hips will help you with this. A model with an extended bottom is well suited. The total length of the raincoat should reach mid-thigh. However, products with straight cut and vertical patterns should be avoided.
Male figure
In men, everything is much simpler, there are three classic types of raincoats, whose various shapes and styles, in general, suit almost any body type.
-
A trench coat is a model of a raincoat with a double-breasted collar, a belt to match the main material, and a slit at the back. Made from cotton or wool. For greater moisture resistance, it is impregnated with a special solution.
-
Macintosh is a raincoat made of rubberized material, which does not have a collar and pockets, you can wear it with anything. A stylish option for rainy autumn outerwear.
-
Hubertus is an insulated waterproof raincoat, dark green or olive. It is made of woolen fabric and is suitable for everyday wear.
Fitting
In order to understand exactly which model suits you, you need:
-
Raise your hands up – the cloak should not be very short;
-
Walk in it – nothing should hinder your movements. Any discomfort or tightness in the hips, waist or shoulders is a clear sign that the chosen piece is not suitable.
-
In addition, the raincoat must perform one of the main functions – protection from wind and rain. Check the quality of the fabric, the evenness of the seams and the lining, nothing should cause even the slightest embarrassment and dissatisfaction.
-
