Forget about them: 7 outdated outerwear models for Autumn and Winter 2024/25. These items are only found in the wardrobes of country girls.
As the new season approaches, it's time to start thinking about our autumn wardrobe. Outerwear is a crucial part of the list, and it's important to make space in our closets by getting rid of outdated and irrelevant pieces.
Your outerwear is your statement in the cold weather. Remember, first impressions matter, and people will judge you based on your outerwear during autumn and winter. So it's essential to choose models that look stylish and elegant. Here, we'll discuss the popular outerwear trends to avoid and what to replace them with.
An interesting fact: fur trim on hoods or sleeves rarely looks stylish. In fact, it often ruins any outfit, with few exceptions. Fur parkas went out of fashion many years ago, yet they can still be found in some girls' wardrobes. Such models are only suitable for wearing in the countryside with a tracksuit and Uggs. In the city, this item is completely out of place.
If you're not a fan of short jackets and shearlings, it's better to replace your parka with a trench coat. This wardrobe piece perfectly complements any outfit, whether it's a feminine dress, a formal suit, or a casual cotton set with joggers. For added comfort, you can choose a trench coat in khaki. Designers also offer insulated models made of thick material, allowing you to wear a trench coat even in extremely cold weather by pairing it with a chunky sweater or cardigan.
With the arrival of the autumn season, the preppy style and classic British elements are making a comeback. Duffle coats became fashionable a long time ago - single-breasted coats with a hood and contrasting toggle fastenings. However, it's hard to imagine such a coat in a trendy and current wardrobe. A duffle coat will make any look unflattering and give the wearer an indifference towards trends and fashion.
Oversized coats in classic shades are never out of fashion. An unbuttoned or double-breasted model in black, beige, or off-white is an investment that will pay off with numerous compliments and years of service. This autumn, loose-fitting coats in a bright palette of colors are also trending, such as rich green or blue, as well as vibrant orange, bold red, or light blue.
As mentioned earlier, fur elements on sleeves or hoods rarely look stylish. The exception is leather coats, which are loved by Scandinavian fashionistas. In general, fur ruins any outfit. Padded jackets with fur-trimmed hoods are a relic of the past, and it's even embarrassing to wear them in the countryside, let alone in the city. If you own such a jacket, quickly add a puffer coat to your shopping list, as it will make your everyday looks stylish and modern.
In recent years, puffer coats have transformed from a staple to a true trend. Fashionistas pair them with heels, wear them with skirts and dresses, and mix them with denim and leather. Opt for voluminous, loose-fitting models so you can confidently wear them over a warm sweater or jumper in winter.
It's unclear whether such models are worn anywhere else besides Russia. For some reason, Russian girls have fallen in love with these fur coats and don't want to part with them, even though they look unattractive. Even an expensive premium fur coat in this style will appear outdated and cheap. If you're going to spend a significant amount of money on clothing, make the right choice that you won't regret later.
In recent years, the fashion community has rapidly shifted away from real fur in favor of eco-alternatives. Brands are now able to create garments that are of equal quality and properties to fur, but are produced responsibly and ethically. Coats and furs made from eco-fur look even more modern and stylish. Therefore, this type of outerwear is the perfect alternative to a classic fur coat. You can choose a model that closely resembles real fur, or you can allow yourself to experiment more by selecting a piece in a bright palette of colors or with an animal-inspired print.
The harsh Russian winter demands careful selection of outerwear. Many girls prefer long puffer jackets and quilted coats to bundle up during freezing winter days. However, some make the mistake of choosing puffer coats with belts at the waist. Just one such element turns an outfit into something cheap and outdated. It's a definite "no" when putting together outfits for the new autumn-winter season.
Long puffer jackets have a place in the modern wardrobe. Moreover, they look fashionable and stylish, but only if you choose the right model. It should be a loose-fitting or oversized puffer coat with minimal additional decoration and details. Preferably, in black or a bright shade such as red. In such a coat, you can even feel like a celebrity between takes, as actors often move around film sets in long puffer jackets.
Shortened outerwear, whether it's a puffer jacket, jacket, or shearling, looks particularly stylish with high-waisted trousers and jeans. By combining these items, you can accentuate your waist and maintain proportions in your outfit. However, if you choose a shortened model of outerwear, make sure it's not outdated. In particular, you should get rid of fitted puffer jackets and jackets. These can't be saved even with trendy skinny jeans or cargo pants.
Instead of a cropped puffer jacket, opt for a stylish and eye-catching shearling or leather jacket. These wardrobe items never go out of fashion and always look stylish and expensive. It's worth choosing a basic black leather jacket to get the most out of current outfits.
The trend of flared outerwear is still a mystery. But for some reason, these items of clothing have become stuck in the wardrobes of modern girls. And it's a mistake. Such models ruin any outfit, even when paired with feminine dresses and heels.
These jackets became a real hit last autumn, and the trend will continue in the new season. Choose models with a straight or oversized fit to wear with jeans, velvet trousers, or your favorite dresses.
