Gray is perhaps the most popular color option for a winter down jacket. It's more practical than white, but just as refreshing. Due to its neutrality, the owner of the coat has many options for looks for all occasions.
Combining looks with a gray down jacket
To create a harmonious look, you should take note of the color palette. Gray is “friendly” with the following shades:
- delicate pink, pink-gray, fuchsia;
- white, black, burgundy;
- brown, beige, mustard;
- deep blue, gray-blue, dark blue;
- yellow.
Acceptable patterns on clothing and accessories: checkered, striped, New Year's motifs. An animalistic pattern is only appropriate if it contains black, white or gray.
With a short down jacket
With a voluminous down jacket, wear flared knit trousers (gray or black) or dark jeans, as well as high-heeled shoes.As a top, you can use a tightly buttoned shirt with a stand-up collar or a large artificially stretched sweater. Let the handbag be small and have a long strap. An envelope will also do.
Important! The sweater should not be longer than the down jacket.
Shoes with flat soles will also go well with flared jeans. For example, slip-ons or boots. You can complete the look with a burgundy or red turtleneck. Let there be a deep gray bandage on your head, and gloves of the same shade on your hands.
For an oversized down jacket, choose light pink chunky sneakers or UGG boots. For bottoms, choose skinny cropped jeans or black, gray or light pink leggings. The finishing touch is a hat with a pompom.
You should try wearing boots with skinnies. The first ones can be burgundy, blue or black. The latter are brown, black, white.
With a long down jacket
This length is ideal for evening looks. It is also recommended to wear light summer sundresses and flowy cut dresses with it. An interesting solution for young women and teenage girls: a long puffy coat, a hoodie, biker pants, a fabric backpack, knitted mittens, timberlands, a beanie made of thick or thin yarn.
Average length
- A universal option that can be used as a base for an image of any style and direction. In addition, knee-length models suitable for women of different heights and builds. With this length it is allowed to wear casual and office dresses, as well as sundresses made of suiting fabric. Skirts also look good, and there are no strict prohibitions on the material and cut of the products.
- The basis of the look for work: a beige woolen dress, brown boots, a marsala-colored knitted hat and a bag of the exact same shade.
- Idea for an everyday look: a black pencil skirt, black shiny Timberlands, from under which terry socks peek out a little, flesh-colored nylon tights. As a top, you can use a white T-shirt, a cream turtleneck or an oversized sweater in a pastel shade.
- Option for a date: velvet circle skirt, tight-fitting emerald-colored sweater, white shirt, black hunting boots, tone-on-tone barrel with sweater.
- Pants with a gray mid-length down jacket also look good. You can safely wear strict models with arrows, skinny jeans in bright colors (burgundy looks wonderful), straight or skinny jeans.
- Shoes can be of different lengths. Knee-high boots in brown and white are definitely appropriate. Ankle boots are also worth trying, especially with a short skirt.
If there is a fur collar...
Long boots with chunky heels and skinny jeans would definitely look appropriate. To complete the look, choose a long scarf, a wide-knit hat and thick mittens. Instead of trousers, you can wear skirts. Just try not to wear them with nylon. Follow the rules: the shorter the hem, the tighter the tights should be.
Important! Brown, light pink and white opaque tights look great with a gray down jacket.
With fitted light gray models with a flared hem, you can try to create the image of a Snow Maiden. In this case, white high-top boots, a fur hat of the same shade and flesh-colored nylon tights will come in handy. It's worth looking at the clutch on your hands.
Down jacket without hood
If the model has a non-classical cut, feel free to wear velvet and flannel tracksuits in bright or pastel shades.Jeans in green or burgundy will also look interesting. You should buy a hat in purple, pink or red. If your face tone does not allow you to surround your head with rich shades, take a closer look at classic colors.
What shoes to choose for a gray down jacket?
Win-win options:
- boots with fur trim on flat soles, as well as heels or wedges;
- felt boots;
- ugg boots in delicate pink, blue, blue or gray;
- brown knee-high boots.
Hats, scarves, bags and other accessories
Playing with color is allowed. For a gray base, choose accessories in bright colors. For example, blue or red - they are at the peak of popularity this season. You can go the other way, using delicate pastel shades of pink, beige and peach as a basis. Third option: focus on a winter theme. Buy a set of scarf, gloves and hat with a New Year's pattern. Such ornaments always contain white or gray, so they will definitely be appropriate.
You shouldn’t give up wearing a hat with earflaps this year either. Choose a gray model with white trim, or beige or black. Berets are suitable for romantic young ladies. For example, white or pastel shade.
Important! Gold and golden decorations go well with the gray base. Their size depends on the final look, but if you need a strict or romantic look, then wear discreet jewelry and costume jewelry.
The choice of bag depends on the shoes. A win-win option: plain leather products in classic colors. With brown boots, you definitely need to wear a bag of the same color or emerald.
Taboo for a gray down jacket
- Pale girls should not build their image only on gray shades.You should definitely choose a hat and scarf that will give your face a healthy color. It is impossible to unequivocally classify yellow as such.
- Short girls with a thick build cannot do without bright accents. They should dilute the gray canvas with a belt at the waist, as well as black shoes or boots on the hill.
- Also Be careful when composing bows with patent leather shoes.
