We thought it would never come, and suddenly, despite the long and sunny autumn, winter has started knocking on our door. Leaves are slowly falling from the trees and sweaters are confidently peeking out from the top shelves of our wardrobes. However, before winter hits in full force, it is necessary to shed some light on what is on the front line in the fight against the bitter cold. If you are in doubt about which coat is the ideal one for you, read on. Alain Delon Žurnál brings you tips on how to navigate the multitude of different coats.
Cashmere is top
Let's start boldly and quickly. At first glance, a cashmere coat is a super expensive extravagance that may seem like a waste of money. However, the opposite is true. This investment will last you for many years. Cashmere is wool from goats, whose wool fibers are ten times thinner than human hair. This is why the coat is incredibly soft and warm, exactly what you need in winter. In addition, its subtle shine gives the coat a beautiful elegant look. You can wear it to work or on the weekend. However, it will also make you a star when you arrive at a ball or at the opera.
Good old fleece
Although the cashmere coat is the king of all coats, there's no need to look down on the fleece ones either. They're loyal warriors who will keep you warm in all circumstances. Today's modern material technology ensures that you no longer need a thick fleece that makes you look like a polar bear to stay warm. That's why there's no reason to be afraid of a thin, nicely slim-cut version. It's a grateful companion that will look great whether you're wearing a suit to work or going out on the town in the evening. If it's a blazer style, fill the "hole" at the neck with a nice scarf and your look will still be perfect.
What if I want something completely different?
If you're brave and want to stand out this winter, why not go for this season's hit - cropped jackets and coats? At first glance, they scream: "Put me on and you'll be warm as cotton." Unlike fleece, they like to admit their thickness, which gives them a characteristic look. Whether you choose a short or three-quarter version, know that a cropped coat belongs more with jeans than with a suit.
Coat or jacket? The best of both worlds!
If you are tired of traditional coats and fluffy jackets, we have another solution for you. This season, fleeces cut into the shape of a jacket are flying, which are complemented by striking elements such as large buttons or collars. A short cut of the jacket, under which you can put a thick sweater, complement with black jeans and you are ready for anything! Simply the perfect definition of smart casual.
