Difference between Overcoat
e Trench Coat
I thought it was cool to start the post with a curiosity about these two pieces, since a lot of people have questions about it! Well, let's go. Although they don't have a very significant difference and many people say with nails and teeth that they are the same thing, there are some details that help us to differentiate.
What is Above all?
As the name implies, it's that coat that covers the whole look, with a length that can go from knee-length to feet.
What is Trench Coat?
The trench coat is an old term used to define a type of coat that protected British soldiers from the cold and rain during the First War (trench means trench, in English). This term, despite being old, has returned to be a trend among people who enjoy fashion and many of them like to refer to the overcoat as a trench coat. The difference lies in two small details of the trench coat: it is belted (usually tied with a fabric belt) and its more classic model has a double buttoning.
Conclusion:
The trench coat can be characterized as an overcoat, but not always an overcoat will be a trench coat!

Here's the Tip:
As the female overcoat is a piece that needs to fit well on the body and usually has a slightly steep price, I recommend looking first in physical stores so that you can try it on before buying (in any case, you can always count on the help of a seamstress, right! haha)
Physical Stores
If you want a variety of models and an affordable price, then there's no better place than Bom Retiro and Brás!
♦ Tips for going to Bom Retiro:
– Estação da Luz is just one block away from Rua José Paulino, where you will find the best stores to do your shopping
– On Saturdays, shops open at 8 am and most close at 15 pm
– Gather your friends to take advantage of wholesale prices (between 6 and 12 pieces some stores already consider wholesale and you can get a much lower price)
– Not all stores accept cards
– Check out other tips HERE.
♦ Tips for going to Brás:
– Not all stores sell individual pieces (go on Friday or Saturday, when stores offer retail items – the rest of the week it’s wholesale only)
– Best streets for shopping: Rua Miller (beautiful, quality pieces on sale) and Rua Oriente (with many galleries and stores with simpler and more popular pieces)

Models
of Female Overcoat
There are many wonderful women's overcoat models out there and I hope this topic helps you choose your favorite model! 🙂
Long
The long female overcoat model is great to combine with that elegant look along with a boot, high heels or any of your favorite shoes!
With hood
Despite not being a very common model, it is still a great choice to use on those cold and rainy days (only women can understand how a hood can save our hair, right? hahaha)
with income
Despite requiring extra care with the piece, lace is a great adornment to make your overcoat look more delicate and romantic!
Leather
Most models only have a few leather details, but they make a lot of difference in the look! The demand for the entire piece in leather is very small, since if you are not careful, the look ends up being a little exaggerated. But let's agree, leather goes well with everything!
With stripes, flowers, animal prints and other prints, the overcoat can give your look a really cool upgrade (just pay attention to the look underneath, give preference to more basic pieces)!
Chess
Plaid is that print that never goes out of style and the cool thing about the plaid overcoat is that you can wear it both with an elegant look and for a more laid-back look!
Colorful
The colorful overcoat is great for getting that good attention that we love so much! And to make your look more harmonious, nothing better than composing it with your favorite color!
Romantic
For those who like a more delicate and romantic style, you can opt for beige, brown, white and pastel and nude colors for your overcoat. Ah, those lace details that we showed back there are also worth it! 🙂
Elegant
Of course, the most elegant models could not be missing! The smoother ones (without much detail), with neutral colors (bright colors are also good, but you need to harmonize with the rest of the look) and longer ones are great for creating a super chic look!

Look Tips!
Now that you've chosen your favorite female overcoat model, it's time to get inspired to compose your best looks! Let's go? 😉
with dress
Stay the Tip!
√ Opt for a more elegant composition and, if you want to look even thinner, the long dress with the overcoat in the same length is the perfect choice!
√ With the overcoat closed you turn the piece itself into a dress!
With High Heels
Stay the Tip!
√ High heels go with everything, jeans, dresses, skirts, shorts… Use and abuse the power it gives you!
With Sneakers
Stay the Tip!
√ Sneakers make the look with an overcoat more casual, so an All Star or Adidas style model is really cool for day-to-day!
With Jeans
Stay the Tip!
√ Just like sneakers, jeans make the look more casual, but nothing stops you from making it elegant with high heels and a more refined blouse!
with boots
Stay the Tip!
√ The favorites to wear with an overcoat are the over the knee boots, but the ankle boots also give a really cool charm!
with white
Stay the Tip!
√ Whether in the color of the pants, the dress, the blouse or even the overcoat itself, white gives a wonderful harmony to the look!
√ Try an all white composition or a b&w contrast and you will be amazed with the result!
Well, that's it, people! I hope you enjoyed today's post and any questions or suggestions, comment below! Kisses! ;)
