Gradually but surely, the down jacket is turning from a familiar sports item into something elegant, even architectural. Designers all over the world include this fashion item in their winter shows. Now in any store you can buy both a sporty version and a more casual one, with which you can create many looks. There is a stereotype that a down jacket cannot be comfortable and stylish at the same time. Is it true?
Pink down jacket: what to combine with
You should buy a pink jacket as simple as possible, without additional details and decorations: stripes, elastic bands, belts, zippers, huge pockets, weighty hoods. Buy a down jacket with the expectation that you will stand out in the cold season due to accessories such as a scarf and hat, and not additional rivets. After all, every detail complicates compatibility and turns the jacket into something sporty and inappropriate for the rest of the look. Simplicity, length and even boredom are your best friends in this matter.
Variety of models
However, you can not forget about sports style, street style. Sweatpants, chunky sneakers, oversized sweatshirts will look new and harmonious every time, even on the city streets. The main thing here is to note negligence, otherwise the entire finished set will turn from “chic” into “tourist camping”. Carelessly pull the huge hat over your head, unbutton your down jacket, and put on your cut-off pants. But do not forget that in this look it is not comfort that is important, but the unusualness of the image, so it is not suitable for long winter walks.
A down jacket is a thing of a narrow style, so you need to combine several styles with it very carefully. But if you forget about colorful solutions, the image will come out perfect. You can combine several shades of burgundy, gray, black, and the final detail will be a bright pink “marshmallow” down jacket. Casual, classic, sports will create something interesting in monochrome colors.
Forget that a down jacket is originally a sports item and combine everything with it as if it were a classic coat. Dresses, shoes, small handbags... However, in this case it is important to take into account the color, shape of the jacket and silhouette. Avoid wearing a knitted hat, as too much sport will make your outfit look bad. You can even wear your favorite skinny jeans.
Long
Many girls are sure that long down jackets are only suitable for older ladies. But a competent selection of other clothes will help you get a modern and original look. And this option will be ideal in severe frost.
Think about the bright, acidic color of a down jacket and then you won't need accessories. But sometimes they can look cheap and simple, so be careful with that.
Down jackets longer than the knee often look bulky and overly strict.Therefore, let's add a little femininity to the image with the help of curls released from the hat. For footwear, choose UGG boots or leather ankle boots.
Important! Long stocking boots do not go well with oversized down jackets.
Shortened
But although a long down jacket is comfortable, it is not always convenient. In the slush, you can stain the hem, and washing it is quite tedious and time-consuming. The ideal option for crowded buses and April mud would be down jackets just above the knee: they will remain just as warm, but will clearly be ahead in comfort.
These jackets are good to wear with all types of jeans: skinny, flared, straight (photo). Don't forget about tight skirts and dresses.
Over the knee boots and ankle boots with fur inserts will perfectly complement the look. Accessories are chosen to match the jacket.
Short
Such a jacket will not protect a girl in Siberia, so buy shortened models if you have a warm and snowy winter every year. They do not restrict movement, are comfortable, go with almost everything and look stylish.
Jeans, leggings, and skirts with dresses of any length go well with a short jacket. But with the latter, do not forget to wear thick tights to avoid hypothermia. Another plus is that you can combine a short style with almost all your shoes, just take into account the overall harmony of the outfit.
Oversized
The weighty style provides comfort and warmth. You can even wear a warm sweater and not look bulky, even if your shape usually did not allow you to wear large things due to the disproportionate look.
Asymmetric
Uneven cuts always attract the attention of others because of their unusual nature.Unique accessories, stripes (and this is where they will only improve the image, and not spoil it), a complex silhouette - what could be better?
A color scheme
Of course, black is the most universal color, however this season fashionistas are so bored with it that the new practical and pink became my favorite color in any of its manifestations. Shorten your down jacket and wear a long leather skirt with padded tights. And the addition will be a voluminous large-knit scarf in an unusual shade. Green accessories can be combined with trousers of the same color, but with pink they can look ridiculous.
And for a touch of originality, choose a leopard print scarf or a heavy bag.
With a business suit, the delicate shades of a down jacket will look appropriate, even if the suit is made in a strict casual style or, conversely, is made of bright fabric with unusual fittings. You can also try combining matte and shiny fabric styles, discreet and acidic tones: they make a girl look “younger” quite well.
Shoes and accessories
Don't forget your hat and scarf! Fashion is fashion, but we don’t need to get meningitis. Think about a plaid print or a solid color and pair it with your favorite down jacket.
A knitted beret is suitable not only in autumn, but also in winter, and for absolute unusualness, a warm cap or a hat with earflaps will do. Pom-poms, for example, still remain a fashionable solution in winter. A universal option for a scarf is still a voluminous snood, which you can tie instead of a hat. Wrap it around your neck several times and you will definitely not freeze.
Some tips
- The best option for the bottom of a down jacket would be boyfriend jeans, which go well with a short sports padded jacket. The pink version is best worn with pants of a desaturated shade.
- Avoid hats. In winter, they often look awkward when paired with layered outfits.
- Don't forget your sneakers! It's truly versatile and often even practical.
- If you wear a skirt, make sure that it is warm first. Thin tights will not only ruin your health, but also your impression of you. But dresses can be found in the store in a knitted version. They will enhance the effect of a flared down jacket.
