How to Style A Double Faced Coat?

Have you bought new coats for this autumn and winter? If you have not and are wondering what kind of coat to buy, then this passage is exactly prepared for you. For most people, their choices might be limited to trench coats, leather coats, cotton coats and so on. But have you ever imagined the image that you are in a double faced coat?

Actually the name of double faced coats is really easy to understand. It refers to a coat that can be worn both inside and outside. Maybe you have already heard of this type of coat but have not tried one yet. Now let us tell you how to choose a suitable double faced coat, and how to style it in a fashionable way.

As mentioned above, the biggest difference between a double faced coat and other coats is that it can be worn both inside and outside. This characteristic has brought plenty of advantages to double faced coats. And it is exactly due to these advantages that people would like to try it.

From the perspective of practical function, a double faced coat can always keep you decent on any occasion. Have you ever encountered the embarrassment that your clothes were accidentally stained and you had no other clothes for replacement, so you had to endure the other people's strange sight? But if you have a double faced coat, this will not be a problem. Even if you have stained your outerwear and you need to hurry to a relatively formal occasion, you can just turn your coat inside out, then you will have a tidy and clean coat.

In addition, a double faced coat can help you avoid aesthetic fatigue to a large extent. Usually, when people are tired of their old clothes, they have to buy a new one. However, if you have a double faced coat, it is equivalent to buying two coats for one price. When you are tired of the original outer face of the coat, you can also turn it inside out, and wear the inner face as a new outer face. Several days later, you can do that again. In this way, your friends may all believe that you have two coats to alternate between! And you can also enjoy the joy of wearing a new coat.

In the third place, a double faced coat also provides convenience for adjusting the perceived temperature according to the weather. The two faces of the coat can be in not only different colors and patterns, but also different fabrics. For example, you can buy a double faced coat with outer face made in tweed while the inner face made in leather. When the temperature goes down, you can wear it in the normal way to keep coldness away. But if it is warm outside today, you can turn the leather face out to feel comfortable. Other types of coats do not have this advantage of course. You need to adjust your outfit through putting them on or off and change other coats of different thicknesses.

Since there can be various differences between the two faces of the coats, then we can have more choices when choosing a double faced coat. But the bad news is that we need to spend more time on this. So when we would like to buy a double faced coat, what should we notice?

The first and most intuitive thing is color and pattern on the coat. You need to ensure that the color and patterns on both faces of the coats are what you like. Although in winter most coats you can see are in dark colors such as black, brown and gray, it does not mean that bright colors are not acceptable. Since you have such a special chance, then you can try two completely different colors. For example, the outer face of the coat can be brown while the inner one can be yellow. In this way, you can change the color of your coat at any time and any place according to your mood.

Secondly, as we have mentioned in the first chapter, the fabrics of the two faces also matter. Here you are suggested to choose a coat with two faces made of two fabrics that vary from each other greatly in terms of the effect of keep warm. Only in this way, can you adjust your feeling through turning your coat inside out. If one face is made of tweed while the other one is made of wool, then you will feel hot in relatively warm weather no matter which face you are wearing. But if the other face is made of leather, things will be different.

Thirdly, you should also pay attention to several details. For example, whether the coat is with a hood? What is the shape of the neck of the coat? Is there any button or a belt on the coat? Do not look down upon those details. In many cases, it is exactly the details that are about your comfort and can show your tastes. For ladies with rectangular figure shapes, a belt is necessary to highlight their waistline and figure curves. And for ladies with inverted triangular figure shapes, try to avoid turtleneck coats that may draw more attention to your upper body. On the contrary, they might be more friendly to ladies with pear shape figures.

Choosing accessories is another big challenge, since the two faces of the coat can be in completely different styles. So we need to choose some low-key and versatile accessories to ensure that no matter which face you are wearing, your whole outfit is not out of place.

A pair of Martin boots is one of the most recommended shoes. In autumn and winter, a pair of Martin boots can be regarded as nearly the most versatile accessory. Whether you are wearing the face made of tweed, tencel, wool or leather, whether you are in the elegant style, mysterious style, or unisex style, a pair of Martin boots is a perfect choice. A pair of high heels is also acceptable in most styles. It should be admitted that although sneakers go well with several fabrics and styles, they are not that versatile.

As for your choice of jewelry, a delicate brooch is a good choice. Long necklaces are not necessary since it will be covered by coats in all styles. But a silver or golden sweater chain can be chosen to be worn outside the coat. Bight or colorful hair accessories can be chosen, as long as you you do not mind removing them from your head when the face in dark color and with plenty of patterns is turned out.

A tote bag is one of the most versatile bags for most styles as well as occasions. And its large volume is very friendly for the demand of commuting. Even on business occasions, a tote bag is not out of place. So if you are hesitating about which bag to choose, then a tote bag will help you avoid most of the mistakes. A particularly versatile hat is hard to be found. You can imagine the scene that you are wearing a beret and a leather coat, or wearing a peaked cap with a tweed coat. So unless you are sure that you will not turn to the other face of the coat within the day, do not wear a hat. But if you can make sure that you will not turn to the other face for the whole day, then you can choose a hat according to the style of the face of the coat that you have chosen.

Last but not least, let us discuss about the belt. Actually, for most coats you can see, what ever fabric they are made of and whichever color they are in, they are with a belt already. In this case, you do not need to worry about which belt to choose. You can either tie the belt around your waist or just leave it as a decoration. But if the coat is not coming with a belt and you would like to showcase your waistline, then a conventional leather belt is a good choice.

Due to its uniqueness, a double faced coat can provide more possibilities for our outfits. How can we make the best of its characteristic and be the most fashionable girls? Here are some tips for you.

First of all, in early autumn when it is still not too cold, you can wear a double faced coat without zipping or buttoning. Therefore, the inner face of the coat can be exposed to some extent. Especially the two faces are in contrasting colors, the visual effect will be better.

It is better not to wear a heavy makeup. Although eyeshadow or lipstick in bright colors can bring a lively feeling to people in winter, they can hardly go well with both faces of your coat. So a light makeup is good enough.

For those who love retro style, a longer double faced coat can be chosen, and a dress with the same length as the coat can be worn inside. In this way, the sense of layering can be produced who seen from the front, while the effect of “missing bottom ” can be achieved when seen behind. The top you wear inside the coat and the pants can be in the similar colors or contrasting colors. But since it is better not to pile more than three colors in the same outfit, if the inner top, the coat and the pants are all in different colors, then your shoes and your coat should be in the similar color.
