On autumn-winter days, you still want to look stylish and feminine. A long skirt is an ideal alternative to trousers and jeans during the cold season. But the question immediately arises of how to properly combine it with outerwear to look stylish. It seems especially difficult to choose long models for down jackets that have been fashionable in recent years. However, creating a feminine and stylish look is easy if you follow a few simple recommendations.
Features of the combination of a down jacket and a long skirt
Which down jacket model to choose for a long model largely depends on where you are going to go wearing them. This set can be worn to the office, as well as on a date. However, an important rule is to choose simple and elegant models. It is advisable to avoid massive zippers and rivets, large pockets and hoods. A sports short down jacket, especially a bright red color, definitely won’t go well with a floor-length model.
If the down jacket is flared at the bottom, the same flared bottom will ideally match it.But with a straight-cut coat, a slightly tapered or just straight skirt would look better.
ON A NOTE!
A floor-length skirt combined with a belt will perfectly highlight a woman's figure.
Which down jacket to wear with a long skirt
Let's take a closer look at what length, color and model of outerwear to choose for a long bottom so that they match each other, and at the same time look stylish and not freeze in winter.
A short down jacket and a long skirt are a good combination
To make your figure look sophisticated, it is recommended to choose short and cropped down jackets as a pair; in this case, a loose-fitting model will look ideal, however, they can also be successfully worn with straight models. To avoid freezing, choose a thick fabric bottom (ideally wool), it will not allow the wind to pass through and you will be warm and comfortable, despite the length of the jacket.
Long skirt and oversized down jacket
In recent years, puffy, voluminous oversize jackets have become firmly in fashion. They go great with long bottoms. The most popular this season are oversized ones with short sleeves, with a belt, and models with fur are still in fashion. At the peak of popularity are oversized models made in metal color, as well as prints in the form of geometric shapes and flowers. It is better to choose a straight and narrow cut for a floor-length skirt to go with oversized jackets.
Long down jacket under a floor-length skirt: combine with caution
If a short down jacket is not an option for you in the winter cold, and you want to wear an elongated or long down jacket with a floor-length skirt, then try to choose a model with an interesting silhouette, and not “a la grandma’s overcoat.”
Fitted jackets and bell-shaped coats look good with long bottoms; they create an hourglass silhouette, favorably emphasizing the lines of the female figure.In addition, this will be a warm and comfortable option for winter, as your legs and back will be completely covered, and there will be no air blowing anywhere.
ON A NOTE!
We do not recommend wearing wide skirts with a tapered long coat. A narrow down jacket will puff up the hem, which will spoil the whole look.
Medium length down jacket and floor-length skirt
A medium-length down jacket does not go well with an elongated model. There is a feeling of imbalance of proportions. This combination is especially not recommended for short girls.
Down jacket and long skirt: rules for choosing winter colors
To choose the right color scheme, you first need to decide what the emphasis will be. A long skirt, in principle, is a rather noticeable and eye-catching thing in itself, especially in the winter season. That's why We do not recommend choosing too bright, flashy colors. For the winter season, calm shades characteristic of autumn and winter are better suited:
- white;
- grey;
- beige;
- brown;
- classic black.
The product will also look beautiful in dark shades of blue, green and burgundy, and checkered options are also good.
If we talk about combination with a down jacket, then a discreet floor-length skirt and a bright, eye-catching down jacket or, conversely, a bright bottom and a plain dark or light top will look great.
ADVICE!
If you like prints and patterns, they should be present on only one item in your set, and it is better to choose solid colors for the rest!
In addition, do not forget to properly complement the chosen set with suitable shoes and hats. The image must be complete and all details must be in harmony with each other in color and model.
Be bright and feminine at any time of the year! And let your images please not only you, but also the people around you!
