Coats: Keep Warm this Winter

Coats for 2011/2012

Winter time is not far away and just another reason for looking fantastic in your new coat. Coats are made to keep you warm and to emphasize the beautiful forms of your figure. So let’s learn main women coat trends to

feel yourself wonderful during winter 2011.

This winter couturiers decided to open old chests and to take “new” ideas from the bottom. This tendency could be also seen in the 2011 collections. The satin trimmed fur coat by Bottega Veneta Autumn-Winter 2011-2012 collection.

That glamour outfit combines elegance and practicality. For colder seasons designers normally prefer using neutral or reserved colours like black, brown, navy, cream, dark violet, etc. However, autumn/ winter 2011/ 2012 collections abound in brighter hues like crimson, neon orange, purple, sky blue and others. Besides, these eye-popping tones can come in daring combinations. See Haider Ackermann, Alberta Ferretti, Victoria Beckham, Tommy Hilfiger, Burberry Prorsum, and other designers and brands for inspiration. Long, short, thick, fine, real fur or faux - fur coats as a winter 2011 fashion trend have few rules.

On the runways, however, they've been mostly to the classic side, leaning to either all-over fur or outerwear with fur trim. In times of an economic downturn, the fashion world looks to ways to renew our desire for luxury. It may seem contradictory but in many ways it stands to reason that fur has played such a prominent role on the runways for several years running; luxurious and glamorous, faux and real, yet warm and practical, the resurgence of fur continues strongly as a fashion trend in winter 2011 and beyond as a part of 2012's fashions.

For the latter the most common trims are fur collars and fur cuffs, though on the fall 2011 runways we also saw fur edging on the hems of jackets or skirt. This autumn menswear trends proceed with some last year’s pieces and bring the world a few new ideas as well.

Renewed military style, new cuts of suits and velvet cloth are some of the main things to dominate men’s of fashion minds this autumn/ winter season. Military is back again! This time it is deriving inspiration from 40-s and 50-s. Great coats, aviator jackets and aviator boots with shearling. Burberry Prorsum, Neil Barrett are some of the brightest representatives of this trend.

JUMP TO IT

               The Jumpsuit 2011

It was only a few short years ago that cutesy playsuits and rompers were a summer must-have. Well, as fashion would dictate it, one-piece anything’s are back in style. From overalls to jumpsuits, to playsuits and rompers, these one piece cuts are an option for fashionisers looking for pieces for their spring 2011 wardrobe. And for those who are, they can rest assured knowing that any investment pieces, particularly statement playsuits, will be a worthy investment with the one piece styles on the cards as sitting amongst spring 2011 fashion trends.

The Spring/Summer 2011 jumpsuits fashion trend offers the best method to put on gorgeous and chic style items that are definitely the must have designs of the season. Choose from the skin-tight and body con pieces or the more teen chic-inspired and bulky creations depending on your personality and mood. The warm season with its cool and multifarious fashion trends are characterized by the versatility of some of the most simply designed wardrobe. The 2011 Jumpsuits fashion trend is the perfect example on how these stylish playsuits are turned into real masterpieces worth even of the red carpet sparkle. All these fashion gurus took a more practical and casual chic approach when creating these stylish apparels.

The fine details and lines as well as retrained tailoring style all are some of the main ingredients to pull off a similar minimalist appearance. Busy and flashy prints and bold colours are the name of the game if you are keen to wear youthful and boho chic jumpsuits. 2011 is the year of bold shades and vibrating patterns therefore make sure you add a patch of colour to your grey weekdays with a similar fashion item. Keep your look simple and use accessories to complete your appearance rather than stuff your apparel with additional prints. Let your jumpsuit speak for your open-minded style sense this time. The evenings have a new take on relaxed glamour; no-one has nailed this quite like Alber Elbaz for Lanvin.

Single-shouldered and sequin covered jumpsuits were a striking alternative to the traditional evening dress. Tailored: smart and sophisticated, a tailored playsuit can be office-ready as well as dressed up for day or night. Fabrics should be free-flowing, legs wide and long.  Basic: while some designers have gone for prints and intricate detailing, the likes of Stella McCartney and Givenchy presented the ideal basic options. A more versatile wardrobe staple, go for black, white or nude colours and simple straight cuts.

Odds are the red carpets will also be awash with the full lace one-pieces that brought the jumpsuit to a new level of formality and elegance. The evenings will take on more relaxed glamour, with strapless, metallic and sequin covered jumpsuits become an alternative to the evening dress. For night time, opt for luxurious fabric, like silks, sequins or sheer panels, even leather for that edgier look. The exotic feel for the jumpsuit is to work this style look for harem style pants with gathered – in ankles.
