5 rules for a stylish look with a down jacket

5 rules for a stylish look with a down jacket

In the following sections, we will tell you what to wear a down jacket for a woman, give specific examples and combinations with clothes and accessories. Of course, you can make much more images, so be inspired and experiment.

But before you begin - take note of the 5 rules of the "stylish down jacket", which will bring your outfit to a new level:

  1. Do not fasten the down jacket all the way to the throat - this makes the image more relaxed and stylish. But, of course, you can't catch your throat either, so wear a sweater or turtleneck under the bottom;
  2. Do not combine the down jacket with the folded bottom. When jeans gather on their knees in folds while walking, the image immediately looks untidy, carelessly childish, hastily assembled. Try to make your pants or jeans fit perfectly;
  3. Give up black models. Black color is included in the list of actual colors, yes, and besides, it is a classic, but it really does not go to every girl. An alternative to black can be dark blue or dark gray;

  1. Choose the right stitch. Depending on the direction, the quilting adds "weight" or vice versa visually slims. To stretch the silhouette and make it slimmer, down jackets with diagonal and vertical stitches are best suited. Volumes will be added models without stitching, as well as with horizontal stitching;
  2. Don't get hung up on sport-style. Down jackets are most often associated with a sporty style, but this is not the case. With a competent approach, you will be able to create almost any image - from ethnic or hippies to business - it all depends on the style, design and other clothes in the image.

If you apply these 5 rules in images with a down jacket, they will make you a little more stylish. But if you do not want to be content with little - see below the cool combinations with down jackets.

How to wear a short down jacket in style

Shortened models of down jackets in the winter of 2022-2023 are on the list of trends, so it is definitely worth buying such a thing. Of course, for a harsh winter it is not suitable, but for a warm European one quite.

Jeans

The first item in the list of successful clothes for a short down jacket will be, of course, stylish jeans. The list of trends now includes shortened jeans models, as well as clash and boyfriends. Be wary of torn denim pants - a couple of years ago they were a fashion squeak, but now extensive tears look tasteless, and when it is -15 ° C on the street - also strange.

If you want something "equal" or worn, combine a short down jacket and jeans with an untreated edge. Upstairs you can wear a sweater or jumper, as well as a light shirt or blouse - depends on the weather.

A less rebellious image in the casual style will be obtained when combining a short down jacket with straight cropped jeans. They can be classic or with small scuffs. Under the down jacket, wear a large knitted jacket to add a little coziness.

Cropped jeans

A bright short down jacket is also good in combination with blue or blue jeans, but keep in mind that if the jacket is a rich shade, other bright colors in the image should be used with caution.
