What to wear in winter: 25 options for outerwear
Text: Anya Krotikova
The popularity of street fashion and a course on comfort In recent years, the choice of winter clothing has turned into a really fun entertainment. Leopard fur coat, voluminous down jacket and sheepskin to toe - today you can find outerwear for every taste in the mass market, as well as with expensive brands. We tell you which models you should pay attention to this winter.
Sheepskin coat
To sheepskin coats, unloved clothes of many Russian children, popularity returned a couple of years ago. The classic Acne Studios model still remains the benchmark, but in the new season similar (and more budget) versions have been released by many brands - from Arrivals to Zara and Mango. The sheepskin coat from the mass market will hardly warm in cold weather, but it is quite possible to wear it with a padding jacket with a moderate minus. For a short jacket it is better to pick up warm sweatpants from knitwear and a fluffy sweater with a high collar, and we recommend wearing a knee-length coat knee-deep with massive boots that resemble trekking boots or flat boots.
Faux fur coat
Artificial fur today is made indistinguishable from natural, and this is great: responsible consumption goes hand in hand with the rejection of real fur. In the new season there are no restrictions on either the color scale or the style: designers produce candy fur coats with a long nap, imitation of astrakhan, long models of vintage cut and fluffy coats with a print. Fur coats themselves have also long ceased to be outerwear on the way out: they can be worn with camouflage-print trousers, and with a sweatshirt and a pair of netted sneakers.
Wool coat
A coat with a high percentage of wool in the composition and insulated lining is fully capable of replacing the park and even a down jacket. At the same time, it is better to choose an oversize model or a bathrobe for the winter (Vetements has a literal interpretation of this idea), a large-knit sweater or a down vest fits under it. Complement the layered image can be knitted dress, jackboots and balaclava.
Parka
The park is the best choice for those who, even in the cold season, do not miss the opportunity to walk from home to work on foot. Truly warm models can always be found at specialized brands like Canada Goose or Woolrich, but the mass market also fails. Own version of the classic silhouette with a huge hood release Zara, Monki, Topshop and others.
Down jacket
Triumphal return puhovik happened a couple of seasons ago. Now cleverly tailored models are not shy about releasing expensive brands like Balenciaga or Marques'Almeida. The optimal ratio of price and quality can be found among mass producers: Uniqlo has been producing a model of direct cut for more than a year, changing only the color palette. In the mass market, you also need to look for the most cheerful down jackets: with a leopard print, from metallized materials or with a large print.
Lining
The jacket-liner has long been transformed from an addition to warm winter clothes into an independent piece of clothing - you can wear it over a lace dress, a top in sequins or a knitted suit. For those who continually freeze in the winter, this thing will help to survive the next six months. Such jackets are most often made with a thin layer of down or synthetic filler - this provides warmth, but does not add volume to the silhouette, so the underlay is easy to fit under a coat or sheepskin coat.
