A gray coat is a classic and a trend. For a person who is not immersed in fashion, it may seem that all fashion shows are often whimsical. But every brand, in addition to striking catwalk models, produces timid wearables that will always be bought. The coat adds class to any look. A gray coat can become basic and last in the wardrobe for more than one year.

How to choose a modern coat?

Fashionable styles for all times:

• Straight cut coat. The shape tends to a rectangle. Sharp shoulder, turn-down collar, shoulder can go beyond the real shoulder. The optimal length is below the knee. A straight silhouette coat looks above the knee, but with jeans, trousers or mini dresses.
  
• Robe coat with a belt. Many brands produce coats of this style, but Max Mara has some of the best models. The coat has a sloping shoulder and a wide cut. A robe coat that accentuates the waistline in a feminine way.
  
• Oversized coat. It resembles a drop in shape, a voluminous shoulder, tapers to the bottom, the sleeve can be shortened. An oversized coat is best combined with a narrower bottom.
  

The modern length is below the knee, the length is comfortable, can be worn with trousers, jeans and dresses, it will look harmonious, there will be no transition between lengths. Easier to pair with shoes, the boots fit under the hem.

Base coat colors: black, gray, dark blue, camel hair.

The coat can be single-breasted, double-breasted, with a belt, with buttons and a belt. It is better to choose a double-breasted coat, it fits better, looks good with any shoe and goes well with any outfit. It is better to remove tight-fitting coats from the wardrobe. Coats with a hood, with a zipper, and without a collar do not look chic enough.
