For which seasons is it intended
A short coat is not considered the universal thing of a woman’s or men's wardrobe. Its cut and the material from which it is sewn directly determine the seasonality of a thing. So distinguish:
- summer (the optimal warm version of soft wool or velveteen, designed to be worn on cold summer evenings, as well as for late spring and early fall);
- insulated (quilted coat or down jacket with insulation inside, which protects on cold autumn days and in warm winters);
- demi-season (without insulation or with a small amount of it, intended for warm spring or autumn).
Various models and stylistic solutions for designing a short coat allow you to choose exactly the option that will suit the familiar style and chosen image, as well as emphasize the figure. The shortened model always looks elegant and very feminine.
