Cold autumn has arrived and it's time to buy yourself something new. We recommend taking a closer look at warm outerwear such as a coat.
Fashionable autumn-winter coats will be incredibly popular in 2021-2022, because they will complement both a strict look and a more playful one. Fashionable coats can be worn with both a daily look and a delicate evening look.
This season, the designers made sure that every fashionista chooses a fashionable coat to her liking.
And we will help you decide on the choice of coat, and tell you what new items and fashion trends will be relevant in 2021-2022.
Plaid coat
The cage is an undoubted hit of the autumn-winter season 2019-2020. It can be large and small, bright and calm, but it must be there. Plaid fever has swept the fashion world. Any type of traditional tartan, from tartan to houndstooth, is a cool-season must-have.

The tartan effect is created not only by the print. It can also be achieved using a patchwork technique made from squares of different colors. This is exactly what the brands Marni, Oscar de la Renta, and Off-White did. They presented checkered coats and raincoats made using the patchwork technique.

How to choose a drape coat?
Girls are wary of this type of combined coat, since products made from drape require careful care. But in reality, everything is not as scary as our girlfriends or the hosts of fashionable TV shows lead us to believe. First, let's figure out what kind of fabric this drape is?

We automatically associate drape with a warm, huge coat, and this is true. Drape is simply a luxurious material when you need to hide from the cold, but at the same time look dignified and stylish. If you want your drape coat to serve you for many years, then when purchasing, you must definitely pay attention to the ratio of wool to impurities. Thus, they should be no less than 80% and no more than 20%, respectively.
Artificial fur
In the world of high fashion, there are more and more supporters of the animal rights movement. The ardent representative of this movement, Vivienne Westwood, was joined by other fashion trendsetters. This is how a new trend appeared - faux fur.

He has many advantages. Easy to maintain, inexpensive and most importantly, a large field for creativity. After all, faux fur is much easier to work with.
Custo Barcelona Dennis Basso
Proenza Schouler
Coats made entirely of fur are trending. Eco-fur lining or collar and cuff trim are popular. A fashionable combination is a combination of drape and fur trim.
Capes
Many designer collections featured various variations of the cape. In the classic version, this is a loose-fitting cape coat. It has no sleeves. Their role is played by slits on the sides.
Balmain
Chloé
Trendy capes for fall-winter 2019-2020 are slightly different from the standard. Their cut includes sleeves. But they serve only a decorative role. After all, the arms are threaded not into the sleeves, but into the slots. Such models were seen at the shows of Adeam, Ports 1961, Prada and 3.1 Phillip Lim.

There were also classic interpretations of the trend - for example, a long checkered cape from Marc Jacobs, Chloé, Celine and Max Mara.
Trendy cape coats spring autumn 2021-2022
Fashion trends characteristic of autumn-winter coats 2021-2022 could not ignore voluminous capes. It is difficult to find a replacement for the main investment of the season. They are loved by first ladies, Hollywood celebrities and heroines of street style chronicles. Balmain designers offer a cape with a double-breasted fastener, Miu Miu came up with a single-breasted version, and Celine and Prada preferred swing models with one air loop. The right autumn-winter outerwear for the first days of autumn can be with a hood, with a small collar or no collar at all, like Beautiful People. The cape can be worn with a dress or trousers, with shorts or jeans.
Combination
Combining different textures, prints and colors became fashionable a couple of seasons ago. The trend remains just as relevant. This time the designers have prepared a whole selection of combined models. A trendy option is a drape coat with leather trim on the collar, sleeves, and pockets.

Another option was often encountered - combining woolen fabrics and fur trim. There was also room for bold experiments. In his coat, Antonio Marras combined 4 textures at once: fur, coat fabric, lace and velor.

Classification by parameters
The range of fabrics for coats includes many items. But all of them can be divided into groups using the basic principles of classification.
The composition of coat fabrics in most cases includes wool. Pure wool materials are produced from high quality natural raw materials (camel and sheep wool, down of Angora and Kashmir goats). Contains no more than 5-10% chemical fibers.
For the production of wool blend varieties, two-component and three-component mixtures are used. For example, half-woolen coat cloth on a cotton base or made from blended yarn. The wool content may not exceed 20-30%, the rest is artificial and synthetic fibers (viscose, lavsan, acrylic, polyester). Cotton and silk types are suitable for summer coats.
Seasonality . Depending on the season, there are three types of coat fabrics:
- winter,
- demi-season,
- summer
Weave type . When producing wool, complex weaves are used: two-face, two-layer, pile. As a result, materials are obtained that have a number of advantages: greater thickness and density, high wear resistance, excellent heat-shielding properties. Silk and cotton fabrics are produced in simple weaves: plain, twill, satin.
Type of finishing . To improve consumer properties, textile fabric is subjected to special treatment. As a result of napping, a pile is formed on the front and sometimes on the back side. There are: lint-free (smooth surface) and pile (fluffy, soft cover improves heat-protective properties) coat fabrics.
According to color design and production method : plain-dyed, multi-colored, melange. Plain-dyed materials are a single-color, uniformly colored canvas, the color range is very diverse.
Multicolored fabrics are produced by interweaving multi-colored threads to form geometric and floral patterns. Melange is made from yarn consisting of fibers dyed in different colors.
Multi-layering
Unlike previous seasons, the layering has become more organized. There is no more chaotic, unpredictable layering of textures. Harmonious combinations are used to create a stylish “puff” layer.
Michael Kors
Sportmax
Y/Project
The Agnona brand demonstrated how stylish layering can look. Their models contain only warm and soft textures: wool, eco-fur, cotton. The color combination is also cozy-autumn and harmonious. The layered outfit from Michael Kors is also made in the same style.
What is a combination coat?
The fashion industry is so developed that it is now very difficult to surprise with something new, since women and girls treat new trends calmly and without fanaticism. However, every year fashion designers manage to do this. One of these new products was the combined coat.
So what is the difference between this outerwear and a regular coat?
- The presence of several materials in one product. For example, synthetics and silk, fur and fabrics, etc.
- Possibility of choice. Unlike a regular coat, a combination coat comes in different textures, fabrics and styles, so each girl can choose something individually for herself.
- This coat will make you stand out among the crowd and add a little zest to your look.
- This coat is not only beautiful, but also comfortable. This is due to the fact that a fur collar is often added to the coat to prevent the cold from reaching the girl's skin.

Coat-jacket
There is good news for lovers of cropped coats. Short coats and jackets are in fashion. They can be made in a classic manner. Or in a fashionable cut - a cocoon. These models are also inspired by retro jackets from the 90s.
Nina Ricci
Agnona
Blazers of the “heroic type”, straight, with a simple, sometimes rough cut, wide at the shoulders and loose at the waist, are a model of style for a fashionable coat-jacket. Models of this kind were demonstrated by the brands Coach, Max Mara, Calvin Luo.

Styles for every taste
Perhaps no fashionista will say exactly how many cuts and varieties of leather outerwear there are. But still, the most popular styles and silhouettes are familiar to everyone.
The English style stands out clearly among other fashion trends primarily due to its straight lines and laconic fittings.
The product will definitely have smooth shoulders, a simple cut, a double-breasted collar and a belt at the waist. Most of all, it resembles an elongated men's jacket.
A more feminine style, the swinger, is recognizable due to its short sleeves and flared skirt. ¾ sleeves allow the fashionista to experiment with gloves, the skirt adds playfulness to the look, and the voluminous hood protects from bad weather.
If an English coat, swinger or trench coat is worn mainly in the fall, then in the winter insulated models are more relevant.
Here's how they differ:
- insulated with padding polyester or natural wool;
- have fur trim on the sleeves, collar or pockets;
- withstands temperatures down to -30 degrees.
This winter jacket can be either fitted or loose. The first option gives the image femininity and elegance, while the second is more suitable for sports style lovers.
Residents of cold regions should give preference to loose styles.
After all, it is much easier to wear a warm sweater underneath. Moreover, even a loose silhouette can be stylish and beautiful.
We recommend watching the video:
Cocoon
About 60 years ago, Cristobal Balenciaga introduced the cocoon coat to the world. Since then, the cut has come in and out of fashion many times. Now he is conquering the fashion Olympus again. A coat in the shape of a butterfly cocoon is a hit for the fall-winter 2019-2020 season. The most stylish “cocoon” is checkered, leather or asymmetrical.
Balenciaga
Chloé
Oversize models are also relevant. A sporty variation of the trend has emerged. Thus, the Sportmax brand presented a model in which the special cut of the sleeves is responsible for the cocoon shape. As for colors, the trend is calm tones - beige, light ocher, gray. Cocoons in rich colors also appeared at the shows: berry, red, green, yellow.

Which option should I choose?
The photo shows that a competent choice of cut, style and shade of a coat is half the success. The main focus should be on your body type and buying outerwear according to it.
Most models are made in men's style. Deliberately masculine shapes and straight lines will highlight your femininity and softness. But if you miss the mark a little and choose a larger coat in a men's style, you can completely ruin your look. To do this, choose a product that fits perfectly along the shoulder line.
Bright coat
In the cool season 2019-2020, designers decided not to limit themselves to the typical calm palette. Bright colors were added to moderate shades. They are more typical for summer, rather than winter and autumn. But, apparently, next fall coats in cheerful shades will no longer be a curiosity.
Marc Jacobs
Jacquemus
Emilia Wickstead
After all, coats and raincoats of the most saturated colors appeared in the collections. A bright trend can be expressed in details. For example, add a bright fur collar trim to a strict, nondescript coat. Versace, Dries Van Noten, Kenzo and others did just that. This is why their collections have become fresher and more optimistic.

Current colors, prints for coats spring autumn 2021-2022
New shows revealed the predominance of plain coats. Both bright and pastel colors are popular. The color scheme of fashionable coats is characterized by several features. In the spring-autumn season 2021-2022, couturiers, with rare exceptions, abandoned color mixing, preferring single-color items. At the same time, the color range is very rich - delicate, calm tones and bright monochromatic colors compete in different collections. Thus, Dior and Fendi presented plain scarlet, yellow, and brown coats.
The rest of the pillars of fashion did not lag behind, choosing green, blue, light blue colors, preferring not to mix them. Only Roksanda stands out against this background, whose designers went against the general trend and created collections in which coats were painted in motley combinations of bright colors and shades.
The already mentioned prints, which are a successful imitation of the coloring of big cats or reptiles, were used in their collections by Cavalli, Valentino, and Vuitton. Moreover, the “reptilian” coloring was often given not to the entire product, but to some of its parts or accessories - collar, cuffs, frill.
Strict minimalism
The designers also thought about those who prefer sophisticated minimalism. Formal coats in gray, black and beige tones modestly remain in the shadows. Their task is to bring female beauty to the fore without obstructing it with anything unnecessary. Therefore, the cut of such models is minimalist.
Prada
Stella McCartney
There are no complex finishes or flashy details. Sometimes even buttons on the sides and buckles on the belts are missing. Nothing should interfere with appreciating the beautiful inner world of a woman. Models from Jil Sander, Nina Ricci, Prada, Stella McCartney are made in the spirit of minimalism.

Quilted coat
The diamond stitch, fashionable in past seasons, has been supplemented by the square stitch. And it doesn’t matter whether the coat is completely quilted or just along the sleeves. The main thing is that quilted diamonds or squares become part of a fashionable look.
Bottega Veneta
Christian Dior Dries van Noten
You can choose the classic color scheme - black, beige, gray. Or give preference to bright colors - orange, pink, red. And Thom Browne suggests combining two fashion trends - checkered and square stitch. The result is an original coat in the English style.

Choosing a color
Regarding the choice of shade, it all depends on your worldview and lifestyle. For spring, buy warm and rich colors. Mint, orange, pink, purple, red, burgundy coat will highlight your style and your own vision of fashion. For winter and autumn, buy muted and dark tones. For example, a versatile black coat with leather sleeves looks impressive, elegant and sexy. If we talk about the white version, it emphasizes solemnity, individuality and is perfect for going out. Gray outerwear is not as easily soiled as a white coat, and not as standard as a black coat. Soft shades of gray highlight ashy and blue eyes.
If you want to highlight your temperament and creativity, choose a model with a sleeve that contrasts in color with the main shade. For an office outing, it is better to buy a sleeve of the same color as the coat.
Those who want to attract attention should purchase a model with short sleeves, which allows them to create ever more colorful and individual combinations. An interesting model is a coat without a collar.
Flowers and tapestry
According to fashion experts, nothing decorates a woman more than flowers. Therefore, coats, raincoats and trench coats with floral prints appeared in the collections Vivetta, Blumarine, Brock Collection, MSGM.

Michael Kors, Peter Pilotto and Oscar de la Renta decorated their models with designs with lush plant motifs like an antique tapestry.

Hand made trends have not been left out either. Raincoats and coats with voluminous embroidery, floral motifs made of sequins and leather, and floral appliqués are in fashion.

Variety of materials
Textured fabrics of the same color or similar shades are most often used as materials for combination. Sometimes products are created by combining contrasting bright tones, which makes the coat colorful and colorful.
Popular combinations are suede and leather, wool and fur, thick knitwear and raincoat fabric, cashmere and leather or cashmere and raincoat fabric.
Materials most often used for sewing combined products:
- cashmere or drape;
- wool;
- raincoat fabric;
- leather;
- fur;
- knitwear;
- leather or eco leather.
Places for original inserts are chosen in random order: contrasting fabric can occupy most of the lower or upper part of the product, or focus only on the sleeves or collar.
With the help of original inserts, you can successfully correct your figure, adding slimness to the silhouette and hiding existing flaws.
Thus, a dark raincoat fabric sewn along the lower edge of the product will help hide massive hips, and a light figured suede or leather insert at the collar will emphasize the beauty of the figure and add femininity and proportionality to the shape.
Broad shoulders
The emphasis on the shoulders is another whim from the fashion guru. In the fall-winter 2019-2020 season, the trend is coats with wide, sometimes even massive, shoulders. The required volume is achieved in different ways. Christopher Kane covered the fragile female shoulders with a voluminous, quilted cape.

Givenchy
Simone Rocha and Acne Studios achieved the effect of wide shoulders due to the cut - a strongly dropped shoulder. The Agnona brand offered an interesting find. Designers emphasized the shoulders by creating a modern version of the Ulster coat with a full-cut cape over the shoulders.

Classic women's leather coat
In the cold season, a women's leather fur coat is an excellent solution for those who are equally interested in warmth and a chic appearance. A classic women's leather coat is the kind of clothing that will always be in trend. This is due to the fact that skin always adorns its owner, visually making the figure more slender and attractive due to its texture. Designers often add zest in the form of additional accessories or color schemes, but in general, wearing an elongated flared or fitted leather coat, you will not go unnoticed.
Women's leather coat with fur
Fur with long pile is a common addition to patent leather coats. This type of leather coat is incredibly bright and especially attracts attention, so it is recommended for bright and confident ladies. One of the most famous options is a leather coat with silver fox, but often when sewing leather coats, squirrel or arctic fox fur is also used. A coat with mink looks very cool. This coat is a spectacular outfit for ladies who want to emphasize their status, but it is also much more difficult to care for than other types of leather coats. This season, voluminous fur collars are in fashion.

Coat with leather sleeves
A women's coat with leather sleeves is an original alternative to a traditional leather or cashmere coat, because it is two in one. Possessing an extravagant appearance, such a coat does not lose its qualities: it protects from cold and wind. If you are tired of the classic look and your soul requires something new, pay attention to this model. In general, the silhouette of the coat remains classic: fitted or straight; sleeves made of leather add variety. The coat itself, as a rule, is made in colors contrasting with the color of the sleeves.
These coats are distinguished, among other things, by the absence of additional decorations, i.e. it is made in a simple and strict design. In most cases, the sleeves in such coats are made of black leather, but the main part can be of any color. As for the accessories for such a coat, they can be either black or the color of the sleeves or coat. Buttons or a snake are used as fasteners.

Women's leather coat with hood
If you don't like hats and caps and other headwear, you will definitely like a leather coat with a hood: it looks stylish and will protect your hair from bad weather at any time. The light industry involved in sewing outerwear presents a large number of leather coats with a hood. These can be both short and long models, where the hood can be either absolutely simple, or even made of a different material, or decorated with fur, which when removed forms a beautiful collar.

Women's Quilted Leather Coats
A quilted women's leather coat also looks stylish and unique. Depending on the style and accessories you choose, such a coat can look either casual or very elegant. The advantage of this coat is that it fits well on any type of figure. If wearing clothes made of genuine leather is unacceptable for you, you may be attracted to coats made of eco-leather - a very high-quality leatherette that has the properties of calfskin, but nevertheless, no animals were harmed in the production of such a coat.
Leather combination coats
In winter or late autumn, you want even the appearance of your outerwear to keep you warm. A good option is combination leather coats with fur or suede. This combination of materials not only makes the item look beautiful and stylish, but also adds additional density to it, which has a beneficial effect on its insulating qualities. In addition, coats using fur or suede look expensive and noble and are suitable for both young girls and older women.
Coats with mink fur look expensive and sophisticated, which decorates the collar, cuffs and bottom of the coat in combination with cashmere: this noble, cozy and warm material is often used to sew high-quality coats. Among the budget, but no less high-quality and stylish options, it is worth noting wool and drape. The right combination of leather with these materials makes such coats not only beautiful and warm, but also capable of visually adjusting the silhouette of your figure, emphasizing and hiding the necessary lines, especially if you choose a fitted coat model with a leather belt.
Leather combination coats
Leather coat raincoat
Leather raincoats, although not a hot fashion trend, are nevertheless always relevant. Like all leather products, raincoats are good because they are light weight and do not create problems with care. By choosing products according to your body type and size, you will definitely make a good purchase. This season, a stylish women's leather coat-coat is presented in a variety of styles and colors, suitable for both young ladies and older women.
Leather coat raincoat
Coat with leather inserts
One of the worthwhile decisions would be to purchase a women's coat with leather inserts: on the elbows, pockets, collar, or the belt can be made of leather. The sides of your coat, or the back or part of it, can be leather. The entire coat may consist entirely of leather and other material sewn together in halves, or in a checkerboard pattern. Both inserts of contrasting colors and those that exactly match the color of the main material are good. The advantage of such a coat is that it suits many types of clothes, and also creates a multi-layer effect.
Short leather coat
You will be surprised, but girls with a full figure should choose a short coat, because short leather jackets coats visually slim, making the silhouette lighter. But the cut of such a coat should be straight, because a flared coat will, on the contrary, make you look fat. Leather jackets and coats are preferred by young girls, because they look so light and feminine. Short coats, especially those that are not entirely made of leather, but for example those in which only the sleeves are leather, look more like jackets. They are suitable for ladies driving or female athletes (Komsomol members and simply beauties).
Short leather coat
Long leather coat
A long coat is not only beautiful, but also fashionable. However, please note that if a short coat lightens the silhouette, then a women's long leather coat, on the contrary, will create the effect of a heavier figure and visually shorten the figure. And if you are not a fan of extremes, then you should take a closer look at midi - length to the middle of the shin or to the knee. This length is the most versatile; it both successfully protects from bad weather and fits well with any type of figure due to the proportionality of the cut lines.

Long coat
A full-length coat will become a current trend for fall-winter 2019-2020. It doesn't emphasize the silhouette at all. Strict, straight, without unnecessary details, devoid of a fitted silhouette - this is what a fashionable haute couture coat looks like.

Genny Y/Project
The cut of the model is very simple. Most often this is a straight, one-color coat without decorative details. The designers tried to remove everything unnecessary. In some cases there are not even buttons. Or they are hidden in a secret clasp. Long capes, coats with raglan sleeves and retro models from the 70s and 90s are in fashion.
A little about the combined coat with fur
The main reason why you should choose a coat with fur is the ability to hide from the cold. No outerwear can warm you up like a coat with fur, especially if the fur is natural.
The main thing you need to pay attention to when choosing such a coat is, of course, fur. Modern designers are trying so hard that now you can’t tell faux fur from natural fur. Therefore, fashionistas should not be afraid to buy such furs.
Natural fur can be:
- silver fox;
- llama;
- arctic fox;
- rabbit;
- from raccoon;
- sable;
- fox;
- mink.
The fur can be located anywhere: at the bottom, at the top, on the fastener, on the lining or on the hood. But in any case, it will be able to warm you even in the most severe frosts. Therefore, feel free to choose this type of coat and then you definitely won’t go wrong.
There is even an option with a fur skirt. In this case, the coat gives the impression that the girl put on a separate jacket and a separate fur skirt. Looks quite interesting.
Oversized coat
Warm, voluminous and loose – this is what oversize coats are valued for. They do not emphasize the figure. On the contrary, they hide it as much as possible. But, nevertheless, this trend has been in the top of the most relevant ones for several years in a row.

In the autumn-winter season 2019-2020, oversized is a cocoon cut, retro raincoats of the 80s, square stitch and floral print. This time, the designers managed to increase the oversize dimensions and conservative classics. Volume models with a classic cut were presented by Nina Ricci and Dries Van Noten.

Complex cut and asymmetry
In past seasons, designers surprised the public with unusual textures. Now the concept has changed. Unusual and complex cuts are in fashion. To replicate it you need to be a real costume designer. After all, it’s not just a coat that is created, but an unusual visual image.

Asymmetry often gives an intricate look to a coat. In the Ports 1961, Sacai, Hermès models, symmetry is completely lost. This makes them look complex, interesting and unusual.
