"There's nothing more elegant than wearing a coat and boots in the middle of winter." This is how British actress Joan Collins describes her winter outfit. An over-knee coat can give you 100% comfort, even if it is just a dress inside, as long as the front is pulled tight, it is as warm as being embraced by a lover.

The over-the-knee coat is a product that appears every autumn and winter, and it's also like an old friend is always with you. Let's take a look at this old friend and see how she has changed this fall and winter.

Over the knee coat style story:

The origins of the over-the-knee Coat can be traced back to the Victorian era, when it was known as the "Chesterfield Coat" and was initially intended only for aristocratic men, but was adapted by tailors and gradually accepted by women as well. But no one expected that over the knee coat in the next fifty years, and even now has always occupied a great importance.

In the 10th century, French designer Paul Poiret was the first to reform the over-the-knee coat element and integrate it into women's outerwear.

Paul Poiret is the first fashion designer to help women out of the straitjacket straitjacket, design narrow blouse and long skirt, skirt tightly wrapped around the body, skirt to the ground "La Vague", he later designed a coat almost at ankle level, It is the prototype of the over-knee coat that we understand in the concept. In terms of the concept of fashion history, the coats he designed were innovative.

The 1950s, is the golden age of the film market, in this stage emerged a lot of female stars who have been known as classic in the later generations, of which the American Hollywood female star Lauren Bacall is the leader: She was cool and attractive, but she had a powerful acting ability, and she was tall and had excellent dressing sense. Every move she made, and the way she dressed, represented the fashion trend of the time.

Of course, she has never lagged behind the trend, and she has also chosen to use the over-the-knee coat as her coat, with a signature over-the-knee dress inside, and the competent mature female aura is at a glance.

By the sixties, the famous French fashion designer Pierre Cardin was known for his unique avant-garde fashion design style.

He is good at integrating geometric elements into the design, so his over-the-knee coat also has distinct style characteristics, with corresponding geometric patterns on the chest, just like his trademark fashion extension, and the over-the-knee coat he designed has played a non-negligible role in the development of the later fashion trend.

With the rise of Jet-set fashion in the 70s and 80s, the fashion trend that had just turned from the swinging 60s gradually returned to the main line from the original Bohemian.

At this time, the over-knee coat also changes, whether it is in shape or color, it is more elegant and charming, and the color choice has become more and more diversified.

At this stage, women who were formerly in the political circle seemed to be more famous than their other half, of course, in setting the national fashion trend, and they were sought after as fashion markers.

By the 1990s, over-the-knee coats were becoming the most common classic outerwear in women's wardrobes. Both at home and abroad, elegant women wearing above-the-knee coats and ankle boots can be seen everywhere.

At this time, the color of the coat is mainly black, brown, white and other main colors, and even Madonna, who has always been known for her maverick cynicism, has uncharacteristically put on a feminine white over-the-knee coat, so it should be said that no woman can resist its charm.

Celine's autumn/winter collection is a throwback to the 1930s, with designer Phoebe Philo taking inspiration from Hannah Hoch and Lee Miller, two of the most important figures in the Dada and Surrealist art world.

She combines female softness and male fortitude, producing a "gentle and strong" shock, like a proud woman living in a world of only men, using a whirlpool to draw the viewer into her magnetic field of charm.

Karl Lagerfeld moved his autumn and winter collection into the supermarket, and the whole show was like a hot shopping.

He placed more than 100,000 yuan worth of items on the shelves of double C, and also made beautiful models wear colorful striped over-knee coats made of woolen Ni, just like colorful girls, or young women shopping easily on holiday. And then they come all over you, unstoppable.
