In the cold season, denim jackets are replaced by warmer clothes. Lightweight and comfortable down jackets are suitable for absolutely everyone! Yes, yes, and for fat ladies too! You just need to choose the right model. We'll tell you which down jackets look great on curvy women, and which models are best avoided.
How to take into account your body shape when choosing a down jacket
Winter outerwear often adds volume to those with curvy figures. However, using a creative approach, designers were able to create models that fit perfectly on full ladies.
Important! A properly selected down jacket will allow you to hide flaws, focusing on the strengths of your figure.
When purchasing, pay attention not only to the appearance of winter clothes, but also to the quality of the fabric and filling. Give preference to a simple cut with discreet fittings.
Typically, stylists advise curvy ladies to have a classic fitted cut. This allows you to disguise imperfections and make your figure visually slimmer.
Body type and down jacket model
- Women with wide shoulders (inverted triangle) are recommended to balance the “top” with flared models with an accent in the form of a belt at the waist.
- For those with a pear-shaped figure, stylists recommend emphasizing their main advantage - a narrow waist. The chosen model should draw attention to the upper body - chest and shoulders. Choose silhouettes with smooth curves, without clear lines. Voluminous sleeves, stylish shoulder straps, models with shoulder pads, a large hood, and fur trim are the best options.
- To create a harmonious look for an apple figure, you should forget about long coat options. Opt for shortened models that flare from the chest line.
- For short and plump women who need to visually elongate their figure vertically, the ideal length is knee-length or higher.
Which down jacket is suitable for an overweight woman?
Let's consider the styles and models that are suitable for curvy ladies.
What to look for when trying on
To assess the fit, a fitting is required.
- Pay attention to the sleeves: your arms should not be wrapped too tightly.
- Choose comfortable models that do not restrict movement.
- Make sure that prints and details do not focus attention on problem areas. For example, too convex and large pockets can visually enlarge the hips, and massive vertical buttons can emphasize the roundness of the silhouette.
Choosing a cut and style
Give preference straight fitted styles: they allow you to adjust your figure, visually stretching the silhouette vertically.
Stylists always recommend emphasizing your waistline with a stylish belt. It should not be too wide or too narrow.Using a comfortable, adjustable belt or belt, you will make your figure more graceful and feminine. However, women with a slightly defined waist should not complement their look with belts.
Sports style is not the most suitable option for plump beauties, they better to strive for the classics.
Advice. You can opt for a semi-sports model, taking care of the appropriate accessories: a knitted scarf and hat, gloves with fur trim, and an interesting shoulder bag.
Fashionable trapezoidal cut - a stylish recommendation from professionals. This style helps balance out a figure with narrow shoulders and wide hips.
These down jackets can be smooth or quilted, hip or knee length. Typically, models are complemented by a hood or wide collar.
Important! Length to mid-thigh for women with curvy figures is considered optimal.
Patch pockets, asymmetrical cut, and vertical slats allow you to balance the proportions of your figure and hide problem areas.
Pay attention to the filler
As for the filler, Thinsulate is rightfully considered the warmest. Even severe frosts are not scary in such a down jacket. It holds its shape perfectly and is pleasantly light.
In addition, holofiber, fiberskin, and padding polyester are often found. Down and feathers are used as natural filling.
Selecting colors
Be careful with prints and bright colors avoid variegation and large patterns, drawing attention to problem areas.
Discreet, small prints in muted shades are suitable.
Reference. Of the colors that are relevant this season, stylists advise paying attention to beige, brown, burgundy, blue, white, black and red.
What to wear with a down jacket
Having chosen a down jacket, it is important to arrange the right location for it.
Shoes
- Laconic shoes with a massive, stable heel without unnecessary decoration are the best option for overweight women. Such models will successfully complement your winter set.
- Pay attention to fashionable lace-up boots, high boots with thick soles.
- If you have wide calves, consider sleek heeled ankle boots. They will make your legs look more graceful.
Accessories
Properly selected accessories make a big difference in the overall look.
- When choosing a bag for winter clothes, pay attention not only to the appearance, but also to the practicality of the model. Use the rule of the golden mean: medium-sized bags fit perfectly with a winter down jacket.
- A beautiful, stylish scarf or hat will help distract attention from figure flaws. However, try to avoid old-fashioned styles!
- All that remains is to complement the look with gloves: leather or knitted.
Now you know how to choose a down jacket that will warm and decorate you.
You'd think a plump woman would have plenty to choose from! I’m 175 cm tall and size 64, so I take what fits! If there is a size, then for a short person, and vice versa! So your advice is definitely not for obese women!
Bonprix, Otto, Sheego, Asos, H&M will help you... the size range and price range are not too expensive... if you need more, there are such sites... so this is not an excuse
Wow, down jacket! and again I, the idiot, bought a fur coat for my wife...
A coat or fur coat. And that’s all. Down jacket-pillow. This is when there is nothing at all. Or for sports and tourism.
I will choose warm, comfortable, light. Everything else is on the side.
Question: Why are all the models in your photographs size 48, if we are talking about overweight women? Please show me photos of women size 56-58-60 from real life...
Hello Marina! The models in the photographs are of different sizes, they are shown as an example.
Height 164, size 54 I can’t find anything for myself, let alone a fashionable down jacket!!! Just quilted coats for “baushkas”!!!(((( No, well, of course, maybe in boutiques in Moscow for 15-20 thousand and you can buy something... but this is unrealistic...;((((
Everything shown in the pictures is strictly prohibited for full days!!! It increases even more. The article is about nothing.. It’s rare that stylists can correctly create an image for plus-size women.. those who can are real pros.
I agree, who said that sizes 48-50 are plus size... These are absolutely normal women with a good figure, and if the skin tone is still good and well-groomed, it’s generally super... or the height is good.
Now there are a lot of stylish and lightweight down jackets, very beautiful and comfortable
Tatiana! I have a chic down jacket for you. Double sided, very fashionable. I'll give it for half price. Absolutely new. I ordered it in the spring and lost weight over the summer. If interested, write.
There is nothing at all for short and plump women, not just down jackets, and even fashionable ones! They made me laugh, though.
Even the Fashionable Sentence cannot cope with this task... They brought a family of “poor” - the family of the “King of Variety” - to the New Year’s program and dressed everyone up... The same faces filled the screens: Alla, Maxim, their children, Philip, children, family ... Do they really think that everyone is interested in this?
