Original and unusual patterns will also become popular - abstraction, animal prints, multi-colored checks of different sizes, horizontal stripes. The most fashionable trends will be leopard and snake prints. But the classic cage will not be inferior to them in any way.

Non-solid fabrics themselves are unusual and attract attention. Because of this, the cut of the models is simpler and less complicated. It is not advisable to wear them with an abundance of jewelry and accessories, buttons that are very conspicuous, a wide collar or a large lapel.

Plaid is making a comeback and every modern fashionista should have a plaid coat. It doesn’t depend on what it will be - big, small, in a checkerboard pattern, but it will always be able to show the individuality of the owner of such a thing.

Men's coat models They will also delight you with their diversity. These items with contrasting edging are considered fashionable, the most common being black. A coat with a straight cut, slightly fitted silhouette, and a solid color will perfectly highlight all the advantages of a male figure.

A black collar made of sheared fur can complement the look. A coat made of genuine leather will make a man feel not only comfortable, but also respectable.

Some people prefer stylish leather jackets, others practical down jackets, but stylists recommend not to forget about such an important element of a woman’s wardrobe as a coat. It can be classic or youthful, discreet or bright - fashionable women's coats 2016 will certainly not be ordinary, as evidenced by the spring-summer 2016 fashion shows.

Stylists identify seven key trends. Various styles, cuts, lengths and a varied color palette - all this suggests that every girl will be able to choose for herself an exceptional model that will meet both fashion trends and individual needs. What will be the ideal coat for spring 2016, and what should you pay attention to when choosing this wardrobe item? Firstly, fashionable Olympus favors oversized coats this season. These oversized models seem to emphasize the fragility of the female figure, although the style itself looks deliberately rough and brutal. Secondly, a win-win option would be a coat with a laconic design in muted beige and brown tones. However, designers have different opinions about color. Some offer proven solutions, others advise celebrating spring in bright outerwear with flashy prints.

White coat

Some will say that white is not practical, especially for the off-season. But fashion designers are ready to sacrifice practicality for the sake of aesthetic effect. The most daring fashionistas will dare to welcome spring in a white coat. However, designers do not offer pure white. At fashion shows, fashionable women's coats 2016 were presented in a milky shade, white and silver tones, and a shade of frost. White color is favored by Julien David, Miu Miu, Isabel Marant.

The Chanel fashion house offers cropped coat models in white. The texture of the fabric gives special grace to Chanel outerwear. White color is perceived in a completely different way, the relief fabric seems to have variegated inclusions, and the white fabric seems heterogeneous.

Litkovskaya fans are pleased with light openwork coats in white. The designer offers his version of “snow-white spring,” drawing attention to the fact that a coat can be not only warm and cozy, but also seductive, provocative and extraordinary. In the middle zone, spring usually doesn’t last long, so lightweight coat options, and even in white, don’t seem so absurd. Short models, more reminiscent of jackets, will be an excellent solution for a spring wardrobe. A white fitted coat with short sleeves is a must-have in the wardrobe of an urban fashionista this coming spring. Similar options can be found in the collections of Hermes, Alessandra Rich and Rochas.

Classic black

A review of the spring 2016 coat collections shows that you can’t do without time-tested classics. Laconic single-breasted models in black will emphasize the advantages of the figure and hide flaws. Elongated variations of the raven wing color were demonstrated by fashion brands Valentino and Miu Miu. A fitted coat with a turn-down collar and a length just above the knee will fit into the image of a business woman. Similar options can be found in the collections of Alessandra Rich and A.P.C. Short models in a sporty style are offered by Tommy Hilfiger. A demi-season coat with a quilted texture and large patch pockets will be appropriate in your everyday wardrobe. Similar lightweight models can be found in the Trussardi and Finn Flare collections.

The American brand Guess has prepared several interesting youth coat models for the coming spring. A fitted coat in black with lacquer insert trim will appeal to those who love classics, but cannot tolerate mediocrity. A vertical pattern and a wide belt will correct the silhouette.

Black color is practical, but some are afraid of it due to its excessive darkness. The German brand S.Oliver chooses black as the main color for its new outerwear collection. However, design features, short sleeves, and an interesting style compensate for the mournful nature of black, making it strict, but not gloomy.

Retro style

There are a lot of variations on the coat theme in the new season. Fashionable women's coats 2016 in retro style are offered by several leading fashion houses. The stylists of the cult brand Chanel have become adherents of retro fashion. A straight-cut coat with a monochrome check can be called a universal option for a spring wardrobe. Double-breasted models, as if they came out of grandma's chest, have become the hallmark of Miu Miu shows. Model lengths vary. Grotesque floor-length coats and graceful knee-length A-line models coexist on the catwalk. A checkered trapeze of a simple style pleases fans of Véronique Leroy. The designer relies on minimalistic design and win-win geometric patterns.

A universal women's coat for spring 2016 can be plain and simple in cut. Three-quarter sleeves, a wide silhouette and cuffs will transform the usual coat model, turning it into a fashionable element of the retro-style wardrobe. Brings back the lost positions of the coat in decadence style. This deliberately simplified model today seems appropriate even in a business image. Variations on the theme of decadence made from melange wool fabric are offered by fashion brands Vardoui Nazarian, Alexander Terekhov and Nina Ricci.

Ethnic motives

Ethnic ideas on outerwear for spring have forced many fashion designers to seriously think about how to transform an ordinary women's coat. Ethnic prints can be restrained and moderate, but sometimes folk patterns are completely unimaginable. The new Manish Arora outerwear collection seems bold and colorful. Complex patterns, a bright palette - all this compensates for the simplicity of the style and distracts attention from any flaws in the figure.

Models from designer Isabel Marant seem much more restrained. She is also attracted by ethnic motifs, but the master uses them exclusively as accents. Bright ornaments and interesting patterns transform simple plain coats of discreet design. Fringe and embroidery evoke thoughts of the Wild West. Oversized models and cropped coats, fitted trench coats and insulated raincoats - all this can become trendy if ethnic prints are present in the fabric or trim. Bright patterns do not seem appropriate to everyone in outerwear, but a laconic ornament along the sides or along the edge of the lapel will be enough to turn a boring coat model into a fashionable attribute of a woman’s wardrobe.

Genuine Leather

Glossy leather is an excellent material for a coat in spring 2016. Nina Ricci fans are spoiled with leather models. Stylish variations in patent leather with a distinctly simple design will complement your everyday look. Bold models with a deep neckline made of leather in a bright shade will fit into the wardrobe of a confident woman. An alternative to leather is latex, the aesthetic appeal of which is beyond doubt. Today this material is quite in demand on the fashion Olympus. Almost everything is sewn from it, including fashionable models of women's coats spring 2016.

Tommy Hilfiger offers classic leather coats. The designer is the unspoken trendsetter in leather coat fashion. Tommy Hilfiger remains true to tradition, although in the new season his collection looks more daring and adventurous in its own way. Unusual details in the form of large lapels, textile inserts or patchwork transform the spring outerwear collections. Fur trim is practically not represented on the fashion catwalk. Designers are tired of fur, which they worked with not only this winter, but also last summer. This season, outerwear looks as lightweight and functional as possible.

Leather coats found a place in the collections of Litkovskaya, Miu Miu and Ralph Lauren. Fashion shows would not be so interesting without stylish A-line leather coats, which manage to combine several fashion trends of the season: retro cut, fashionable black color, double-breasted style. Lovers of genuine leather will certainly appreciate the lightweight demi-season models with short sleeves and a clasp fastener. Leather models are presented in a wide variety. Short coats with a stand-up collar and a contrasting belt will complement the youth wardrobe. Leather coats with raglan sleeves deserve special attention. They seem more graceful and feminine. Raglan goes well with the trapezoid style. Models made of matte leather in pastel colors are reminiscent of the glorious 60s, when coats were especially popular.

A leather coat is not just a fashionable wardrobe item, but a practical and warm outerwear. This season, designers are striving to lighten the look as much as possible and make it unseasonably open. So, a practical leather coat will allow you to meet spring fully armed. On the one hand, this element of a woman’s wardrobe will not allow you to “jump off” the fashion wave, on the other hand, it will protect you from the last frosts of the outgoing winter.

Double breasted coats

The styles of fashionable women's coats are quite diverse. The catwalk is replete with various models, including duffle coats and cape coats. But the classic double-breasted coat remains timeless and beyond competition. In the new season, the fashion house Miu Miu offers elongated double-breasted models in retro style. A double-breasted trench coat in brown and beige tones is the choice of Burberry brand designers. Discreet models with a turn-down collar are chosen by A.P.C. Double-breasted coats are favored by Paul & Yakov and Gucci.

A double-breasted coat cannot look cheap a priori. It speaks of the status of its owner, emphasizes her importance, and speaks of the presence of taste. An alternative to a regular double-breasted coat is the peacoat model. Surprisingly, this style of clothing, despite the overtly militaristic overtones, can look very feminine, especially if the model is designed in light colors and made in a shortened version.

A win-win solution for a basic wardrobe is a double-breasted coat with a fitted silhouette, just above the knee. This item of clothing will be appropriate in everyday and business wardrobe. In this coat you can go to a meeting with business partners or on a date with your loved one. An important element of a double-breasted coat is the buttons. They will emphasize the individuality of the style and become the key accent of the image.

Floral patterns

It is not surprising that for the spring season, fashion designers choose floral prints to decorate outerwear. A shortened Kate coat in soft pastel colors with a bright floral pattern will surely appeal to a girl who is ready for fashionable experiments. Manish Arora, Dries Van Noten and Rochas chose floral patterns for their collections. A classic coat will sparkle with new colors if it is decorated with voluminous flowers, floral embroidery or floral trim along the edge of the sleeve or fastener.

Coats and capes in soft pastel colors, decorated with floral patterns, are found in the collections of Max Mara and D&G. Large single flowers or printed patterns with plant themes will refresh the look. The Valentino fashion house offers similar variations to the public. Models with voluminous patterns are chosen by Michael Kors. The designer actively began decorating outerwear with flowers last season. This time we are dealing with discreet decor in the form of single flowers and floral embroidery.

If you are afraid to try on a floral coat, then it is permissible to play with contrast: a plain coat can be complemented with accessories and decorations with a floral pattern. This way you will be able to maintain a neutral style of outerwear and keep up with fashion trends. A neckerchief with a floral print will make the look fresher, even if the chosen coat is plain black or navy blue. And yet, stylists advise welcoming spring in all its colors. A stylish women's coat with large flowers will make your look unique and will definitely attract the attention of others.

Be fashionable and stylish this spring!

We were all looking forward to the first rays of spring sunshine, and here they are! This means it’s time to change your fur coats and down jackets to beautiful spring coats. But which one to choose for the new spring season? There are truly a lot of current trends in the new season, but it’s not for nothing that we closely watched the street style of the fashion weeks of New York, Milan, London and Paris. I suggest you look fashionable coats spring 2016, which were chosen by trendsetters just a couple of weeks ago. And see in which collections you should look for fashionable options.

Coat with bright prints or embroidery

Colorful coats with eye-catching prints or even embroideries have become a real hit among fashionistas. In this case, the trend can be divided into several separate directions. Animal prints are back in fashion; we recommend taking a closer look at the bold leopard print. Fashion editor Christine Centenra preferred this print, and among fashion brands the leopard coat can be found in the Saint Laurent collection. Also no less relevant are floral and geometric prints on fashionable coats for spring 2016; they were chosen by Miroslava Duma and Chrisel Lim. Beautiful floral prints “bloomed” in the collections of Giambattista Valli and Gucci.

If you choose a coat with a spectacular leopard print, then the remaining elements of the outfit should be laconic and in neutral colors. Taking a cue from fashion editor Christine Centenera, a beige top and black pencil skirt paired with leopard print is bright without being overpowering.

"Oversize" coat

Coats “from someone else’s shoulder” have been popular for several seasons in a row. At the same time, fashionistas are in no hurry to leave this trend in the past. More recently, Lei Lezark, Vika Gazinskaya, Christine Centenera and many others could be seen wearing “oversize” coats. Fashion houses Isabel Marant, Burberry Prorsum and Zero+Maria are pleased with new oversized models of fashionable coats for spring 2016 this season.

"Oversize" coat looks good on fragile girls. You can choose a feminine sheath dress, elegant accessories, stiletto heels and wrap yourself in a soft coat, creating an image in the style of seductive Marilyn Monroe.

Original design coat

A coat with an unusual cut or with memorable details will definitely ensure attention to your person. Coats decorated with feathers have become popular among fashion trendsetters. Unusual models of fashionable coats for spring 2016 can be found in the collections of Miu Miu, Fendi, French Connection and many others. But the most complex coat in this review belongs to the Simone Rocha brand.

This unusual coat from Miu Miu looks very self-sufficient; several fashion bloggers have already tried it on. For example, Taylor Tamasi Hill paired the coat with cropped trousers and a bag in a rich burgundy shade. And to make the look spring-like, we’ll complete it with a silk scarf with a floral pattern.

Coat in pastel shades for spring 2016

In the fashionable spring palette, pastel colors occupy a leading position. “Rose Quartz”, “Serenity Blue”, “Lilac-Grey” are the most popular pastel shades of the spring season. With a coat in delicate undertones you can create a beautiful feminine look. This is exactly what model Elena Perminova did.

In any case, a pastel coat does not limit your choice. But still, spring involuntarily plunges us into romance and tenderness. That's why we combined the pink coat with a sunburst dress and completed the look with elegant accessories.

Showing femininity in the cold season is quite difficult. A pile of clothes is not at all conducive to showing off your own advantages. To avoid looking like a “cabbage” in winter, you need to choose a warm, but at the same time fashionable and beautiful winter coat.


Some designers offer raglan sleeve options. These are distinguished by their large volume, which is emphasized by the variegated colors.

An unusual gray-white ornament adorns a medium-length coat with a classic shape. These things look quite sophisticated and elegant.

Colors of fashionable coats 2016

Without this color of snow and purity - nowhere! Fashion designers have come up with several options for lovers of whiteness.


But no one is going to stop only at the classics. An orange or blue coat will also be appropriate this season.


Coats from . The effect is enhanced by leather trim.

In the new 2016 season, designers have created interesting models thanks to the choice of beautiful fabrics, although the silhouette is dominated by women's coats with a straight silhouette and in the form of a trapezoid. From the 2016 collections I chose the most original coat models, which I would like to even call unusual.


In spring and summer, a demi-season coat will not be superfluous. And this not only depends on the weather and the region in which you live, but also on the choice of fabric.


In the 2016 season, the designers made interesting models thanks to the choice of beautiful fabrics, although they left the silhouette completely ordinary - coats with a straight silhouette and a-line were predominantly dominant. A variation may be a coat with a belt. Some designers present coat-robes. And using expensive, beautiful fabric and original decor, a coat in 2016 becomes a decoration of your image.

In early spring we still wear it, and on cool summer days a coat made of light fabric will serve as an interesting addition. Light coats without a collar with long or short sleeves look elegant when combined with a dress or blouse-skirt made of the same material.

What length do designers offer for women's coats in 2016?


As always, they are not trying to limit our freedom, but after looking at many models from the 2016 collections, Militta noticed that most designers opted for knee length. However, a long coat unbuttoned is common, because it will emphasize the length of beautiful legs if you wear a minidress or skirt under the coat.

The number of pockets and buttons is not limited. There can be from one to many buttons, and coats can be double-breasted or single-breasted. The double-breasted version slightly expands the figure, but at the same time emphasizes the militant style. If military is your style, you can get a trench coat for a change.


When choosing a coat without fasteners, you need to take a good look at it, how it sits on you wide open, and how it fits with a belt.

In the spring-summer 2016 collections you can equally easily find coats with wide lapels and with narrow ones, but there are also coats without lapels at all.

Expensive beautiful fabric will decorate your fashionable coat. Undoubtedly, these materials include cashmere, jacquard, as well as leather and suede. Satin, brocade, mesh and guipure are used to sew a summer coat. However, modern technologies have made it possible to create synthetic and artificial fabrics, the properties and beauty of which are sometimes superior to natural ones.


For example, satin, which can be either artificial or natural silk fabric, is a very suitable fabric for a summer coat. Its smooth shiny surface always looks elegant and festive. Mesh fabric is extremely popular, so it's no surprise that Jeffrey Dodd designers have used this fabric to create a gorgeous summer coat.


Guipure is a type of lace. Its beautiful patterns will certainly decorate your look, even if they are just an imitation on the fabric.

In addition to expensive fabric, coat decor is especially relevant in spring and summer. At this time, when the bright colors of nature call and beckon, you want to see yourself bright and elegant, to feel like a part of the magical world of Spring. Coats with embroidery or voluminous flowers are truly chic. Ribbons, which were at the peak of fashion in the 2016 season, will help create a modern look for coats.

Wearing a more formal and casual coat does not mean being boring. Look at the coat models from Burberry Prorsum Les Copains Martin Grant, you can’t call them boring at all.
