Another classic trend cropping up from the past that keeps us rooted to our fashion basics is the vintage outerwear of the 50’s car coat. Observed on the runways of both Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer, a super practical silhouette, varied versions of a car coat can be worn like a normal relaxed fit coat or can just be draped over the shoulders both for the summer in linen and cotton blends and winter seasons in warmer fabrics. Considered as an overall minimal silhouette, it also forms a perfect base for various surface developments ranging from patchwork, to printing and other crafty techniques. With number pattern possibilities, some of the most successful developments of this look can be with a peter pan collar, shirt collar, to a raised one or a jacket collar with sleeve variations that include a three-fourth to a full length or just a simple cocoon shaped puffed sleeve.
