How to choose a leather jacket?

In order for a leather jacket to not spoil the holistic image formed by other items of clothing, you must be attentive to all details. One of the important details is the shape of the collar, which can be completely different in two different jackets. The shape of the collar should be selected based on the shape of the face:

1. Oval face. All styles of the collar of a leather jacket are perfect for men and women with an oval face. Also look good models on which the collar is completely absent.

2. Long face. The best option for owners of this form of head - stand-up collar.

3. Triangular face. Here the advice is similar to that for an oblong head. Pointed collars are contraindicated for both types, as they visually make the face even longer.

4. Round face. Good look will be leather jackets with a collar - the type used in shirts. A similar recommendation is relevant for owners of a square face.

It is also worth remembering that the longer the neck, the shorter the collar should be. "Racks" on a leather jacket are contraindicated for people with a short neck, as in this case, it is visually greatly shortened.

Choosing a jacket according to the type of figure

The right fit of the collar is only half the battle. It is equally important to choose a style suitable for your type of figure. This may seem complicated, but in practice there are only a few types of shapes:

1. Wide hips and narrow shoulders. Immediately it should be said that the shortened models of any type will definitely not work for you, since they will visually make the figure more visually compressed. The best option would be a leather jacket, the length of which is to the middle of the thigh. Longer options are also useless.

2. Narrow hips and broad shoulders. Type of figure, the opposite of the previous one. Best fit just short models. You can consider such common styles as Bolero, Bomber and Kosuha.

3. Hips and shoulders of equal width. To visually make the figure more attractive and proportional, you should look at the jackets, which are decorated in volume in the upper part.

The most successful type of figure is thin waist, hips and chest, which are proportional to each other. Owners of this physique can choose from a wide variety of leather products. It is also worth considering such a style as a "jacket". It looks quite solid on certain types of figures.

How to choose the size of clothes?

Leather jacket must be selected exactly in size.You should not expect that with time such clothes will stretch, as the skin is sufficiently resistant to stretching. In addition, the product should not constrain the product. Take with you to try on things that you plan to wear with your jacket. During the fitting, put these things on, on top of the jacket, then stretch your arms forward, up. Make sure your movements are unrestricted. If this is true, and the jacket does not hang, you should choose it.

When choosing a jacket American brand do not rely on the numerical size. Since the American dimensions are more spacious than the Russian ones, differences naturally appear. In order not to lose money with the American size, you need to round your Russian size down.

The right choice of color

 

Most leather jackets are made in black, however, there is a lot to find clothes that are made in brown, bluish and greenish shades. In addition, there are other color solutions that are more unusual for such clothes. Due to the sufficient color diversity, you will have to spend a little time trying to find the right clothes. Do not be afraid - here, too, everything is simple:

1. Black and brown jackets of dark shades are well suited for people with dark skin color.

2. An intermediate option are products of orange, yellow colors, other warm shades.

3. For fair-skinned men and women, soft tones such as olive and mint are well suited.

Of course, the most suitable for most men are exactly black and brown shades.

What to do before buying?

Suppose that you have already chosen a leather jacket that fits perfectly to your figure and face, and also sits well. Even this is not a reason to buy the product. Before buying, check the quality of the jacket:

1. Put a few drops of water on the surface of the product. If the skin instantly absorbs water, and at the same time a little dark, you have natural leather. In a synthetic leather material, the reaction to moisture can be just the opposite - artificial leather usually repels moisture that has entered.

2. Touch the jacket for a few seconds and listen to the sensations. If the skin is warm and gives up your heat, then this is a natural material. Artificial leather remains cold for a long time.

3. Carefully inspect the product for folds and roughness. Synthetic and natural materials should be smooth and pleasant to the touch. If you gently scrape the skin surface, it should not be scratched. If the opposite is true, you should refrain from purchasing a jacket.

4. Gently rub the leather product with a light-colored scarf. If it remains black spots and marks, it is worth choosing a different jacket. Most likely, this copy was specially tinted.

Take the choice of a leather jacket seriously, and then the acquisition of new clothes will definitely not disappoint you. Also, forget that you need to properly care for these clothes so that they serve you for a long time.
