How To Wear Down Jackets And Look Cool: 10 Options

WE ARE UNSTANTLY FOLLOWED for new trends, but many of them raise questions: how it is suitable for life? How and with what to wear crop tops, hairy sneakers, plush jackets and transparent everything? Under the heading "Instructions" we choose the actual things and clearly show how and with what to supplement them - even if it seems that the solution is obvious. This time we figure out how to deal with down-padded coats: composing images with them more decently than “I’m not far from the store here” is not at all easy (even though the designers this season have shown unprecedented interest in down-padded coats - especially for huge options) . We have collected 10 sets with warm jackets that rehabilitate this item of winter wardrobe. We prove: you can wear jackets with anything, the main thing is to follow a few simple rules.

Medium down jacket with dress

White down jacket - the thing is not the most practical, but sometimes you can sacrifice utility (especially since the insulating properties of color do not depend). In this particular case, the down jacket, in fact, simply replaces the more usual coat of classic length. Therefore, there is no need to wear casual sports from head to toe: try to wear a jacket with a knit dress that is pleasant to your body, warm boots with thick soles and, of course, tights (in this case it is better to choose brown or gray). With a beige-milk set, the hats of any saturated natural colors look good, but we especially like the accent of the Marsala shade - this is, by the way, the main color of the outgoing year according to Pantone.

Down jacket with pencil skirt and coarse boots

This image from T by Alexander Wang’s pre-summer lookbook is a good example of how much Alexander Wang likes to play with proportions. Visually, the line of lightning on the jacket merges with the line of lightning on the skirt - it looks, of course, interesting, but this technique can play a cruel joke with short girls. Therefore, be careful with the verticals. Otherwise, this option is so good that you can copy it almost verbatim - from the straight silhouette of a down jacket to socks with coarse lace-up shoes. Just in case, once again we recall about tights and about the harsh reality in which it is impossible to exist in a down jacket without a scarf or sweater with a high neck. It is better, of course, to choose both at once and add mittens — it is said that the winter will be cold this year.

Coat over a down jacket and a summer dress

First of all, multi-layeredness is our best friend for the six months that winter lasts in Russia. Secondly, a voluminous coat, worn over a down jacket, looks more unusual than these two things separately. And in general, it is sometimes useful to remember that not only weightless Uniqlo jackets can be worn under outerwear. The main advantage of the image, obviously, is that it is very warm and you can wear the easiest, even summer, dress for it. And although the romantic dress with rough shoes is almost a common place, this combination still works. Especially in winter, when no one expects to see it. In this case, the bag does not have to be a fur bag - on the contrary, it seems to us that it is better to dwell on the most concise model without any striking details.

Printed short down jacket with trousers

The key advantage of this set is not at all that Humberto Leon and Carol Lim came up with wearing a jacket over skirt pants, but that the Kenzo duet reminded us how many cool things with a print exist and put them in the back corner of the closet on all winter there is no reason. Try to take the base from here and drop everything that is superfluous: a short oversized down jacket with uncluttered shoes on an average steady heel and trousers with a monochrome print are very beautiful indeed. You can support the combination with a black-and-white sports backpack with an alphabetic pattern, and replace the cap with a slightly brighter bandage. Such a set will not protect you from a forty-degree frost, but in it you can walk right now.

Medium length down jacket with skirt and boots

From season to season, the Moncler team works competently not only in marketing, but also in a stylistic sense, so that the Gamme Rouge shows and lookbooks of the rest of the brand’s lines can be used as winter cribs. This year, this approach suddenly became also a patriotic act: designer Erdem Moralioglu, who made the collection for the fashion line Moncler E, was inspired by the aesthetic heritage of the house of the Romanovs and the Soviet sixties. The result turned out to be really royal, but we liked the simplest and most spectacular image - a thick short skirt-sun, the hem of which looks out from under a medium-sized down jacket, and jockey boots. Under the down jacket, you can wear a shirt of any degree of romance and a sweater, and when the thermometer finally collapses down, we advise you to remember the hat and, possibly, thermal underwear. Warm tights are assumed by default.

Volume down jacket with flared trousers

We will not be cunning and immediately voiced the main disadvantage of this image: flared trousers in the floor require high-heeled shoes (or tall), as well as dry weather. But if you find at least close to the ideal jacket and comfortable shoes with stable heels, you get one of the most beautiful winter looks you can imagine, and the minuses self-destruct. Such sets are great pull the silhouette and look at the same time simply (for work or study) and solemnly (say, for the road to the theater, too, fit). Optionally, you can complement the image with a bright hat and funny mittens to make it boring.

Knee down jacket with mini skirt and ankle boots

Winter is not a reason to deny yourself dresses and short skirts. An elegant dress for the New Year is quite possible to wear with your favorite long down jacket of a bright color. The upper part of the set does not require any adjustments, everything is clear from the bottom: beautiful, but summer sandals should be replaced with neat ankle boots, and you can wear tights on your feet - you can match the skirt, you can match the shoes. All together makes a neutral impression, so if you really gathered for a moderately unbridled party, you can add large earrings with natural stones.

Short down jacket with flared jeans

Approximately at least once all dressed, and yes, it is not too original, but comfortable and pretty. Please note that jeans are flared, and not skinny, which fill all the streets in winter and for some reason gain popularity even among those girls who, at any other time of the year, wear much more interesting models for a long time. If flared jeans designed to be worn without a heel fit properly, they will end 2-3 centimeters above the floor - for aesthetic and utilitarian reasons (think about reagent puddles during fitting). Slip-on sneakers can be replaced with sports, but winter shoes, and the overall calmness of the image should be diluted with a red turtleneck. In this form, you can live all winter and feel great.

Down jacket with a tracksuit and winter sneakers

The après sport style is still with us: a warm tracksuit, winter sneakers (they are abundant in all equipment brands) and a down jacket familiar from childhood “so as not to blow.” It’s hardly possible to dress this way for an important meeting, but one has to walk, go to the gym or the above-mentioned store, especially since in this case the kit looks relevant and neat, and not as if it fell out of the closet.

Very long down jacket with hoodie and biker pants

Vetements design team magically turned the winter nightmares of any Russian - huge sheepskin coats and equally huge down jackets - into the main fashionable discoveries of this autumn. Here you can talk a little about the styling victory on the design (although Vetements has no problems with it), but you can simply highlight for yourself the key points: blank hoody, biker pants and a long blown coat. The latter, by the way, now can rightly be called the most practical item of a winter wardrobe - it's hard to imagine what it is impossible to combine with. It only remains to add that in this biker outfit there is very little where you can look appropriate, so we chose leather pants that only hint that you have a motorcycle somewhere.
