There are many styles/types of coats for choosing, I recommend 4 types: Shirt, Sport ,Casual & formal, as I think these are more practical, more comfortable & easier to match with other clothes.
For SHIRTS, there are long, medium and fitting styles. I prefer the long ones, simply because it is more casual and more comfortable than the fitting ones. Tips: It is not a good choice for the shorter or petite girls as it will makes you look even shorter!!
If you like figure hugging shirts, you can try these...
The colorful and fittable shirts express a cute and young look.Tie the shirt at waist area and you expose your tiny waist, girls with nice waistlines should really give this a try...
If you like the white-shirt very much...
SPORTY---You may think it is too mundane and far from fashionable. WRONG!! Wear it the right way and sporty can be fashionable.
For SPORTY jackets/coats, the color choice really is very important! Firstly, you should choose a more matching color of the sporty jackets (you may learn something about your perfect color in my older post---Color Class ). Tips:The pattern is not always necessary for sporty jackets. If the color of the coat is too dark or too light, you can choose some simple pattern to mix it up. Colorful coats and simple pants or shorts and a simple pair of sports shoes or slipper and a simple bag will give a whole different look...
Besides, I strongly recommend the casual coat, as it is very comfortable and convenient. Another plus point is that there are many colors that we can choose from. Go ahead and try something new...
Tips: If your inner clothes are colorful, you had better choose a plain coat. If your coat is colorful, your inner clothes should be simple. That's a useful and practical advice for matching.
And lastly, formal coats. I have found many photos of colorful formal coats in some Korean webpages. I like it, and I have searched for it at the normal stores such as mango, ZARA, UNIQLO, cotton on and new look. However, I only found one light brown piece at ZARA (but the price is a little expensive for students in my own opinion) That aside, I will give you more pictures and if you like it or you find some stores selling this kind of coats at an affordable prices, welcome to leave me a comment below...
