Down jackets have long been part of every woman's wardrobe. They are comfortable, warm, and in recent years they have finally become truly stylish. A huge selection of styles and colors allows you to create completely different images and at the same time maintain your individuality.
Elongated models deserve special attention. They not only keep you warm in any weather, but with the right wardrobe they also allow you to look feminine and attractive.
What to wear with a long women's down jacket in winter
When creating an image, it is necessary to take into account not only its length, but also style, cut and even color. If initially it was an element of a sporty style, now a down jacket can also be appropriate for business wear.
Style and cut
Straight cut looks great with a dress or pencil skirt. You can also wear dress pants underneath (provided they are not too wide).
Important! The down jacket should be longer than the dress or skirt.
An oversized model or a cocoon in itself is very bulky, so under no circumstances should you add volume to your look. Tight clothing is allowed: tight trousers, leggings, skinny jeans. The same applies to a fashionable novelty - a down jacket-blanket.
Sports down jacket Can only be combined with sportswear and shoes.
Body type, height
In fact, you need to take into account your body type and height at the stage of choosing outerwear. After all, a well-chosen style can emphasize the advantages and hide all the flaws of the figure. And here several rules apply:
- The long straight silhouette makes the figure slimmer. A belt will highlight your waist.
- A fitted down jacket dress will make any woman slim and feminine.
- The maxi length is contraindicated for short women and girls with an apple-shaped figure. They should also avoid overly inflated models.
- Girls with wide hips need to visually balance their figure. Models with voluminous collars or a hood will help with this. The waist can be emphasized with a belt.
- Women with broad shoulders and narrow hips should pay attention to models with flared hems.
Important! An asymmetrical cut or bias stitch will make your figure slimmer.
Color
Classic, muted colors (brown, beige, navy, black) are easier to combine and are better suited for everyday wear. It is more difficult to choose clothes for down jackets in bright, flashy colors.
Black
The most versatile in terms of compatibility. Any color will suit it except black. If you can’t do without it, then you need to dilute the look with bright accessories.
Brown or beige
Goes great with jeans. A down jacket of this color is best suited to a casual style.
Red
Beige or black things. Classic blue jeans.Some stylists recommend experimenting with metallic clothing.
White
Clothing in black, wine red or marsh colors. Can also be worn with jeans.
Important! In order for the image to be harmonious, it is necessary to maintain a balance: the bright color of the down jacket is discreet clothing and vice versa.
Shoes and accessories
Knitted hats or snoods look good with any style. Of course, if they match the outerwear in style and color. In general, when choosing accessories you should give preference to knitwear.
Shoes are selected based on his style and style of outerwear. The sports model involves sports shoes (sneakers, duds, sneakers). But it’s important not to overdo it, otherwise you may end up with a too “simple” image. If the down jacket itself is plain, in a classic color, then it is better to choose bright shoes and complement the look with the same accessories.
Fitted feminine models are worn with heeled shoes (ankle boots look good: they lengthen and slim the silhouette).
When choosing boots, you need to select them of such length that there is a gap between them and the hem of the outerwear.
The choice of shoes depends not only on the down jacket, but also on the clothes underneath:
- tight trousers or jeans are tucked into bulky shoes (boots, felt boots);
- straight-leg wide trousers are combined with medium-length boots;
- The dress will go well with boots with low, stable heels.
The color of the shoes should match either the down jacket itself or the accessories.
Attention! You need to be careful with bulky, rough shoes. Sometimes it can look out of place.
Some tips
- Despite its versatility, there are things that should never be worn with a down jacket: stocking boots or boots with very high heels, thin nylon tights, tight-fitting caps, hats, too voluminous items.
- In order for it to retain its appearance for as long as possible, it must be properly cared for: only a quick wash using delicate products and proper drying.
- Young girls and teenagers should avoid cocoon styles. Otherwise, the image will be sloppy. Models with fur will add femininity and softness to the image.
- Long models are not suitable if a woman spends a lot of time driving.
- When buying a model with a hood, you need to choose from those in which it is possible to unfasten it and the edge (if there is one). This will allow you to change its appearance at will and simplify washing.
In our climate, a down jacket often becomes the most comfortable outerwear for the winter. Unlike a fur coat, it perfectly withstands accidental exposure to water and is easy to wash if necessary. A high-quality down jacket, with good material and fittings, can last for more than one season.
