Ideas to combine a coat according to its color
Although you already know that it is important to look at the fabric or the shape of your coat when combining it, one of the most interesting keys is its color. A blue coat is not the same as a pink one, right? Let’s see each shade!
- White coat
- black coat
- camel coat
- gray coat
- Red coat
- pink coat
- yellow coat
- Blue Coat
- Green coat
White coat
- The white coat is ideal for informal occasions and other more formal ones. The truth is that it is a shade that can go well with practically your entire wardrobe, from slightly more neutral tones such as black or beige to much more vivid colors.
- In addition, it is an ideal garment to wear with patterned garments, whether with flowers or squares and polka dots. Of course, you must take into account that being white it may stain more easily, so we recommend using it on special occasions, especially if it is made of cloth or a slightly more delicate fabric.
Black coat
- The black coat is that essential garment that can be in any wardrobe. It never hurts because it is a piece capable of elevating an elegant look to its maximum power, and it can also combine perfectly with any type of outfit.
- It is ideal to wear with garments in neutral or bright colors. Even to wear a total look in black. Our recommendation is that you try not to combine it with very dark brown or too navy blue pieces, since you would not have an outfit with many contrasts and it will not be completely monochromatic, as is the case with total black.
Camel coat
- A camel or light brown coat is quite youthful, elegant and striking, as long as you combine it with the right clothes. It is a garment that never goes out of style, and you will always be able to find one no matter what store you go to, because it is absolutely essential.
- You can combine your camel or brown coat however you want, either with bright tones such as pink or green, or with neutral tones such as other shades of camel (playing with different colors) or black and white. It is ideal to be a perfect working girl and not go unnoticed.
Gray coat
- Combining a gray coat is also very easy as it is a neutral tone par excellence. You can wear your coat on any occasion, taking its fabric into account in this sense, since a tweed coat is not the same as a feather coat, more typical of everyday life.

The important thing here is that the fabrics combine well and that the style of your coat is in keeping with the occasion on which you are going to wear it: a wedding, a date, a dinner with friends, going to work…
Red coat
- The red coat can be a little difficult to combine. But don’t worry, because you don’t have to be a fashion expert to know how to wear it in the best possible way. As you already know, red goes very well with neutral tones such as black, white, gray or beige. But you can go one step further.

Pink coat

Ways to combine a coat according to its pattern

- plaid coat
- polka dot coat
- leopard coat
- Vertical or horizontal striped coat

Plaid coat

It is ideal to combine with plain garments, but also with other patterns if you know how to play with certain patterns. For example, if the paintings are very large, you can wear a dress with tiny flowers. Be that as it may, the plaid coat will be your best ally when it comes to creating unique looks.
Polka dot coat
- Correctly choosing a polka dot coat is crucial when it comes to showing the visual effect or silhouette you want. If you want to add more volume to your body, the ideal is to bet on a coat with very large polka dots. If, on the other hand, you want to reduce volume, it is best to choose a coat with small polka dots.
- And how can you combine your coat? You can use the color of the polka dots as a reference and choose garments of the same hue. For example, if they are red polka dots, bet on a shirt that is also red. On the other hand, you can combine your coat with other patterns or with other solid colors, either neutral or bright, depending on what color your coat is.
Leopard coat
- A leopard print coat can easily become the key item in your total look. If you want to play it safe and give all the prominence to your coat, the ideal is to go for a total look in black, white or beige. In this way, your coat will be the star on any occasion.

Everything will depend on what look you want to choose and what occasion you are going to attend.

Flower coat
