From September to September, many readers continued to leave messages in the background, wanting to see the coat recommendations for the new season. I also want to say if it will be too early, but when I turned through the ins, I found that the fashion bloggers I followed have slowly begun to put on their coats.
Indeed, as the most important role in the winter wardrobe, it is no exaggeration to say that your coat almost determines the texture of your whole person.
So what is a good coat?
Because the area of the coat is large enough to be conspicuous, it wraps people tightly, so it looks bad, and the first impression is often determined by the version of the coat. The neatness of the H-shape, the curvilinearity of the X-shape, and the casualness of the cocoon shape, different silhouettes convey different feelings.
Even if two coats are similar in shape, they may have completely different wearing feelings because of the difference in proportions and details. Sometimes, the "expensive" of a branded coat is also expensive here-where it is more or less, it is all fine work. So when buying a coat, my suggestion is to try it on your upper body.
I believe many people have also discovered that in some fast fashion brands, a good-looking coat may cost less than 1,000 yuan. And luxury brand coats can sell for tens of thousands at every turn.
One of the key factors is the fabric.
For example, gold is like a small cashmere. It has only one chance to collect it in a lifetime. It is naturally extremely valuable. Ordinary wool comes from sheep and can be cut many times a year. The price of the product is not high. Wool coats worth a few hundred yuan are mostly made of ordinary wool or blended fabrics. At first glance, the difference is not obvious, but there is a big gap in the fabric's touch, warmth and durability.
And the choice of fabric also determines where you are willing to spend your money.
People who spend a lot of money on a small cashmere coat that can be worn for many years are essentially different from those who buy ten coats of general material at the same price but only wear one season.
This is also my own experience. When I was young, I always liked to buy popular styles and "looks". As I grow older, the requirements for fabrics become higher-I know how to wear clothes comfortably, but good fabrics themselves It will exude an advanced texture.
In the final analysis, wearing clothes is a matter of identity. You are what you wear, clothes are your "not-speaking business card".
The brand you wear also determines the circle you are in.
Celebrities, royal families, elites and rich people, different circles have different dressing logic, and they also have a preference for specific brands.
Speaking of this, I have to mention Loro Piana, it has almost the highest level of customers.
For example, Princess Charlene, a member of the Monaco royal family who is famous for her wealth, is recognized as a representative of good taste. Loro Piana appears in her styling all the year round, and in winter she is contracted by Loro Piana's cashmere coat.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has also been on hot search for fitness because he wore more than 10,000 Loro Piana sweatpants. He also wore his knit sweater for New Year's Eve activities.
Natalia Vodianova, who just announced her marriage to Antoine Arnault, the prince of the LVMH group, is also a walking Loro Piana grass planter. It is worn not only for attending events, but also for long-haul flights. It shows how comfortable it is.
Domestic audiences are more familiar with the previous hot TV series "Thirty Only". There is a detail in it. After Wang Manni and her rich boyfriend were together, she wore a Loro Piana sports suit, which also hinted at her circle of layers. upgrade.
And her good girlfriend, Gu Jia, an elite woman, often wears Loro Piana to accompany her children to the park and go shopping.
Gu Jia's actor Tong Yao is also a fan of Loro Piana in daily life.
A while ago, Tong Yao also appeared in the "VOGUE" blockbuster wearing Loro Piana, showing a capable and elegant side against the backdrop of a Japanese courtyard.
Among them, I like her "KAELAN" emerald green double-sided cashmere coat. The color is very light. The large lapel and buttonless design are fastened with a leather belt on the back to outline the waist and easily adjust the fit. Degree.

The same "KAELAN" coat, Tong Yao also wore dark camel, which is also an indispensable color choice for autumn and winter. It matched the Baby Cashmere walnut dress and the same series of trousers. The overall line is smooth and slender, which is very tall and thin. Flat rib knit The single product is also a big hit this season.
In recent years, the hot leather coat, Loro Piana can also achieve the ultimate. The cocoon-colored coat worn by Tong Yao is buttery, delicate and soft lambskin, with a soft cashmere lining, which is very delicate to the touch. The design of three horn buckles looks more dynamic.
The shirts and skirts made of silk satin are also from Loro Piana, with graceful tailoring and elegant geometric printing, gentle and textured.
After reading it, my biggest impression of Loro Piana is that it has no logo and is low-key luxury.
This is due to the brand founder Pier Luigi Loro Piana, who is from an “old money” background, and he knows too much about real texture.
Many people don't know that Loro Piana is not only the top Italian clothing brand, but also one of the most important textile suppliers in the luxury goods industry. For example, the baby cashmere mentioned earlier, Loro Piana is currently the only supplier in the world and enjoys the patent of baby cashmere fabric production.
This rare cashmere is produced from the unique cashmere goat (Capra hircus) in the Alxa mountain area in western Inner Mongolia. It can only be obtained from white cashmere goat cubs not more than 6 months old. It can only be collected once in a lifetime, per cub. The output is only 30 grams, an average of 19 cubs’ small cashmere is enough to make a cashmere sweater, and 58 cashmere to make a coat.
It is worth mentioning that the way Loro Piana collects cashmere will not harm the lambs.
Even if it is "normal" cashmere, Loro Piana will only choose to collect it every spring when the wool naturally falls off. Professional craftsmen use special tooth combs to comb the outer coarse hairs, leaving the softest and slender inner fluff. This kind of cashmere is about 15 microns in diameter. It has a soft texture but is very warm. An adult cashmere goat can only produce 150 grams per year, which is true "soft gold".
Loro Piana is also the world's largest manufacturer of vicuña hair products. Vicuña hair is the softest animal fiber in the wild environment in the world. It was given to the Inca Empire and the Spanish Royal Family as a precious raw material centuries ago. The single hair of this kind of hair is about 12.5-13 microns in diameter, and can only be cut 5 times in a lifetime, and each llama can only produce 120-150 grams of hair each time.
In addition, Loro Piana also has the ultimate exploration of craftsmanship. The spinning of raw materials into fabrics requires a number of procedures including strict selection of materials, carding, warping, rinsing, combing, and hand feel testing to ensure the quality of Loro Piana's natural cashmere and wool fabrics.
Loro Piana also introduced Storm System fabric processing technology in 1994, giving cashmere and vicuña these delicate materials dustproof, windproof, waterproof and breathable new functions, allowing Loro Piana coats to be worn longer and easier to care for.
Many actresses with texture, such as Li Bingbing, Angelina Jolie, and Yu Feihong, have many pieces of Loro Piana.
Of course, on the premise of maintaining the luxurious texture, Loro Piana has become younger and more fashionable in recent years, and Liu Shishi and Li Qin are also wearing them.
The coats of the Loro Piana 2020 autumn and winter series also have no logo, but you can feel a sense of luxury through the phone screen.
What I recommend most in winter is a solid color coat, a gentle green or bright fluorescent orange, because the fabric and style are good enough, don't worry about it being cheap, but can stand out among the piles of black, white and gray in winter. If you want to keep a low profile, camel is also a good choice.
There is also this double-breasted coat called "TIMOTHY", neat cut into soft tones, Loro Piana also made the cashmere fabric into leather texture, quite grassy.
Checked coat is also a must-have every fall and winter. I think the classic checkered pattern is a good way to increase the aura of competence, and it is also versatile enough to go to work, commute and go shopping.
This season, Loro Piana also prepared several cloak coats for free and easy contemporary women. The design sense of hood or leather stitching is hidden in the details, suitable for those confident and energetic women.
We like overcoats because there is no dress that can make a woman feel "loved" like it. And Loro Piana's coat is the ultimate in love.
