The first thing that comes to mind when it comes to a black coat is a classic model made of solid coarse fabric, whether it be cashmere, alpaca, camel hair or any other luxury material.
Of course, the classic is always the perfect option with which you certainly will not miss, especially if your attitude to black is very ambiguous.
As part of the theme of the issue, the muse of which was the Color of Night collection from the November issue of Burda magazine, we will also talk about a black coat.
A black coat along with a small black dress is of a cult character. And, therefore, it also requires a special attitude. It is universal, practical, stylish, easily fits into almost any image, is not afraid of even the most daring combinations and easily hides figure flaws.
The main secret of this versatility is the ability to wear black. After all, if you remember that this black is an achromat, then the most important when creating the image will be the correct combination of other colors with it.

Black magic in your wardrobe
Traditionally, coats are divided into demi-season and winter models. But this division is very arbitrary, as there are summer coats, and for an evening out, and dress-coats. Therefore, the choice of fabric will, first of all, depend on the model, your personal preferences, and of the wallet, of course.

Choose Burda fabrics and patterns for a black coat
Black fabric is considered universal, non-brand and practical. But do not forget about one feature, which is the main disadvantage - black as a magnet attracts any fibers, threads, dust particles, small debris. Which feel great on the surface of black fabric. And if they are also light, they will spoil the entire appearance of the product.
Therefore, it is worth stocking up with accessories such as a soft brush to clean the coat and a sticky roller, which can easily remove any small fibers from the surface of the fabric. Moreover, these same accessories will be useful to you during the cutting and sewing of the coat.
What will be your black coat - you decide. It can be lined with or without it. With or without insulation. From fabric, the surface of which has undergone special processing, which ensures the material's resistance to precipitation. Or from good coats.
