WE FOLLOW behind new trends, but many of them raise questions: how livable is this? How and with what to wear crop tops, hairy sneakers, plush jackets and transparent everything? In the "Instructions" section, we select relevant 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 what to do with down jackets: it’s not at all easy to compose images with them that are more decent than “I’m not far from the store here” (even though designers have shown an unprecedented interest in down jackets this season - especially in options for huge sizes) . We have collected 10 sets with warm jackets that will rehabilitate this piece of winter wardrobe. We prove that you can wear down jackets with anything, the main thing is to follow a few simple rules.
Medium down jacket
with a dress
A white down jacket is not the most practical thing, but sometimes you can sacrifice utility (especially since the heat-insulating properties do not depend on color). In this particular case, the down jacket, in fact, simply replaces the more familiar classic-length coat. Therefore, there is no need to dress in sports casual from head to toe: try to wear such a jacket with a body-friendly knitted dress, 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, hats of any saturated colors look good. natural colors, but we especially like the emphasis of the marsala shade - this, by the way, is the main color of the outgoing year according to Pantone.
Down jacket
with a pencil skirt
and rough boots
This look from T by Alexander Wang's pre-fall lookbook is a prime example of how much Alexander Wang loves to play with proportions. Visually, the zipper line on the down jacket merges with the zipper line on the skirt - it looks, of course, interesting, but this technique can play a trick on short girls. So be careful with 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 lace-up rough boots. 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 a sweater with a high neck. It is better, of course, to choose both at once and add mittens - they say that winter this year will be cold.
Coat over a down jacket and a summer dress
First, layering is our best friend for those 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 under outerwear you can wear not only weightless Uniqlo jackets. The main advantage of the look is obviously that it is very warm and you can wear the lightest, even summer, dress under it. And although a romantic dress with rough boots is almost a common place, this combination still works. Especially in winter, when no one really expects to see him. At the same time, the bag does not have to be fur - on the contrary, it seems to us that it is better to focus on the most concise model without any catchy details.
Short down jacket with printed trousers
The key advantage of this set is not at all that Humberto Leon and Carol Lim came up with the idea to wear a jacket over trousers with a skirt, but that the duo from Kenzo reminded us how many cool things with print exist and put them away in the far corner of the closet on all winter there is no reason. Try to take the base from here and discard everything superfluous: a short oversized down jacket with laconic boots with a medium steady heel and trousers with a monochrome print - it's really very beautiful. You can support the combination with a sports black and white backpack with an alphabetic pattern, and replace the hat with a slightly brighter bandage. Such a kit will not protect you from forty-degree frost, but you can walk in it right now.
Mid length down jacket with skirt and boots
From season to season, the Moncler team works competently not only in the marketing but also in the stylistic sense, so the Gamme Rouge shows and lookbooks of the rest of the brand's lines can be safely used as winter cheat sheets. This year, this approach has suddenly also become a patriotic act: designer Erdem Moralioglu, who created the collection for the Moncler E fashion line, was inspired by the aesthetic heritage of the Romanov dynasty and the Soviet sixties. The result turned out to be really royal, but we liked the simplest and most effective look - a tight short skirt-sun, the hem of which peeks out from under a medium-length 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 a hat and, possibly, thermal underwear. Warm tights are the default.
The down jacket has been proudly bearing the title of the main thing of the winter wardrobe for several years now. And not in vain! A down jacket is a truly warm thing that is not afraid of either severe frosts or gusty winds.
And now good news for fashionistas - down coats and jackets have gone out of the category of comfortable urban clothing and have appeared in almost all collections of leading fashion houses. This once again confirms that down jackets are an undeniable must-have for the cold season.
And then a logical question arises - how to choose a warm and high-quality down jacket? Our tips will help you easily choose a down coat that matches the latest. fashion trends and high quality standards.
1. How to choose a fashionable down jacket?
We are used to the fact that down jackets look like sportswear. These are comfortable urban clothes, but there is no competition for more elegant wardrobe items - coats and fur coats.
This season designers break all stereotypes! Familiar down jackets reach a new level and become truly stylish and even luxurious clothing. The down coat has become a winter classic, so the designers decided to expand its horizons and "made friends" down jackets with high-heeled shoes.
Today, down jackets have become more versatile. For a walk around the city or for an evening out? You are welcome! The main thing is not to make a mistake with the choice of style.
How to choose a fashionable down jacket so as not to look boring and not like the rest? Here are a few criteria for choosing styles of down coats this season:
- Silhouette. The less the down jacket looks like a sports jacket, the better. We choose original and non-standard models: asymmetric cut, A-line in the style of the 60s, voluminous models (we take an example from oversized coats), an unusual cut of the collar and sleeves, transformer jackets, multi-layered coats and even blanket coats;
- Colour. In addition to the usual basic shades, designers focus on pastel shades, bright colors and all kinds of prints that are unusual for down jackets;
- combination of textures. We are accustomed to the standard appearance of down jackets: nylon as a material, plus a hood with fur trim. This season, down jackets will combine various fabrics and textures - leather, fur, cotton. Fortunately, technology already allows you to not get wet in the snow or rain in a down jacket made of processed cotton;
- Decor. Down jackets leave the category of sportswear and welcome an abundance of decor. Unusual quilting, embroidery, appliqués made of textiles, feathers, lace and rhinestones are all acceptable.
We are inspired by bright and interesting models from the Moncler brand, which is always one step ahead of fashion!
2. How to choose a warm down jacket?
The degree of “warmth” of a down jacket is directly related to the quality of its filler.
The most high-quality filler is considered to be the down of waterfowl: goose, duck and eiderdown. It is the warmest, has water-repellent properties, does not stick together and does not fall off, thanks to which the down jacket will last more than one season. Products with goose down can be easily washed at home, they dry quickly and gain additional volume during wear.
The filler of a warm down jacket usually consists of down (down) and feather (feather). Manufacturers use feathers to make things cheaper, since the process of separating down from feathers is laborious and expensive.
For a down jacket to be truly warm, the ratio of down and feathers in it must be at least 75/25 - for the economy class, and in high-quality down jackets this ratio reaches 95/5. This information is usually written on the label inside the product.
A very important factor is the quilting of the down jacket. The product is sewn in parallel lines into segments, due to which the fluff is evenly distributed inside and does not settle.
In order for the down to stay inside the down jacket longer, the seams must be taped or securely finished, and the down must be placed in special down bags.
3. What material to choose a down jacket from?
The choice of materials for the manufacture of down jackets today is richer than ever.
The most common materials are nylon, polyamide and polyester. But in addition to these familiar materials, impregnated cotton, leather and even processed wool have recently become popular.
The main advantage of polyester is its durability. Down jackets made of polyester do not lose their appearance for a long time, do not fade in the sun, do not let moisture through, and the wind is not terrible under the protection of such material.
Polyamide is also a synthetic material. The threads in it are intertwined with a diagonal method, so water does not get inside, and the down jacket dries quickly.
Nylon is a very light, strong material known for its durability. It also perfectly retains moisture and has vapor-permeable properties. Nylon down jackets are light and breathable, they are comfortable in any weather.
Recently, down jackets from genuine leather. Such models, as a rule, are expensive, weigh a lot and require a delicate attitude, but their technological shortcomings are compensated by beauty.
Thanks to such technological properties, down jackets are indispensable for any surprises of winter weather, which favorably affects their appearance.

4. How to choose a winter down jacket?
As stated above, warm down jacket must have a down to feather ratio of at least 75/25, but in addition to this, a winter down jacket has a number of other important characteristics, thanks to which winter frosts are not terrible in it.
During snowfalls and showers, waterproofing plays an important role. Often on the label of a down jacket you can see the phrases: “water-resistant” and “waterproof”.
The first says that in a down jacket with this technology you can stay under the snow for no more than 20 minutes. Water rolls off the surface without penetrating inside the down jacket. But it is only possible to be outdoors in the snow in the rain or snow in a jacket with “waterproof” technology. Membrane spraying on the fabric of the down jacket does not allow drops to penetrate inside, but body fumes easily evaporate through the membrane to the outside.
When choosing a winter down jacket, pay attention to the details: inner cuffs, hood, collar and length of the down jacket.
Inner cuffs are usually used in ski jackets, but everyday options with cuffs are not uncommon. They fit tightly around the arm and prevent the wind from blowing into the sleeves.
The presence of a hood in winter down jackets is not necessary, but highly desirable. Drawstring hoods are indispensable in cold weather. And voluminous hoods with fur trim will make the image even more “winter”.
The collar in winter down jackets should be high and fit snugly to the throat. Stylish options with turn-down and voluminous collars are not appropriate in winter. The fur edge on the collar is welcome - the fur not only warms, but also gives a more elegant look to such an everyday thing.
As winter down jackets, it is better to choose elongated models. An open lower back in winter looks ridiculous, even if you move around the streets mainly by car. Down coats are also universal, as they allow the owner to wear a mini in winter.
5. How to choose a demi-season down jacket?
Autumn-spring models do not require such a serious approach to their choice as winter ones.
In this case, artificial synthetic heaters can act as a heater: synthetic winterizer, tinsulate and holofiber.
Demi-season "down jackets" with padding polyester are more affordable, but are only suitable for positive temperatures. Thanks to modern technologies, clothes with synthetic winterizer do not lose their appearance for a long time and are not distorted after washing.
Thinsulate and holofiber are some of the best artificial insulation at the moment. In the future, they can replace natural down, because they can withstand temperatures down to -25ºС. Coats and jackets with similar insulation are light, thin and practical. They cost more than jackets made of synthetic winterizer, but in them sudden changes in temperature will not be taken by surprise.
There are no restrictions in the design of demi-season down jackets. Short models, jackets and coats with short sleeves and even down vests - when there are no restrictions in weather conditions, let your imagination run wild!

6. What length to choose a down jacket?
By length, down jackets are usually divided into short and elongated models, as well as recently come into fashion - down coats below the knee.
Elongated and long down jackets are more versatile and good from a practical point of view. They can spend a lot of time outdoors without fear of freezing. In addition, they allow you to wear a mini-length or trousers made of lightweight fabric.
Long down jackets look better on tall women. In this case, short girls are advised to wear shoes with stable heels. Fortunately, recent trends allow this.
Short down jackets, in most cases, are presented in demi-season versions. They are available in more original styles and colors than elongated ones. This is where you can really show your imagination!
This style is suitable for owners of any height, but the cut should be chosen based on the characteristics of the figure.
Short jackets are indispensable for outdoor activities and are extremely comfortable when driving.
7. Down jacket with or without a hood. What is better to choose?
In winter, down jackets with a hood are more practical. In most models, there is fur on the hoods. When choosing a down jacket, make sure that the hood or fur on it comes unfastened, this will greatly simplify the washing process, otherwise it will have to be dry-cleaned. The same applies to the edge on the collar.
In some models, the sides of the hood are made of contrasting colors or textures, both sides of which are dressy. This makes it possible to periodically visually update a familiar thing.
An excellent option is a transformer. There are models in which the hood comes unfastened, but the down jacket does not lose its attractiveness.
Models without a hood have recently become more common. Its absence is compensated by unusual collars and cutouts, as well as non-standard "oblique" fasteners.
8. How to choose a down jacket with fur?
Fur on a down jacket serves not only as decoration, but also has a heat-saving function. Fur piping on the collar is a common thing, but it’s not the first season that down jackets with fur inserts have appeared on the catwalks. Sometimes fur occupies a significant part of a down coat, requiring you to approach its choice with even greater responsibility.
Bargain purchase - a down jacket with raccoon fur. This fur is the most wear-resistant and looks great due to its volume.
An inexpensive option is rabbit or goat fur. A down jacket with fur of these breeds may well serve a couple of seasons, unfortunately, you should not count on more.
One of the latest trends is down jackets with sheepskin and astrakhan fur. It looks stylish, wears for a long time and is not so expensive.
Fox fur does not like bad weather, although it looks very impressive.
Mink is suitable for more elegant models. It's a timeless classic, but it's going to take a little splurge.
Wolf fur on a down jacket is not inferior in appearance to more expensive breeds, and keeps heat many times stronger.
Models with fur are gaining more and more popularity every year, but if you want to have a stylish and original look at a lower cost, replace the fur with feathers!

9. What color to choose a down jacket?
When choosing the color of a down jacket, it is still better to turn to dark shades. They are less easily soiled and visually slim the figure. Those who consider down jackets dark colors nor so feminine, as compensation, they may prefer models with a belt.
If practicality is not in the first place, you can listen to the designers and pay attention to more interesting colors.
Pastel colors, which ruled the ball all last autumn, are not going to give up their positions. Winter clothes in pastel colors, including down jackets, looks fresh and gentle against the background of white snow.
To bright colors This winter, bright prints have joined. The brighter and more unusual, the better!
Metallic spraying on fabrics also migrated from ordinary to outerwear. How long this trend will last is not known, but for those who are going to “shine” for the next couple of seasons, “metal” down jackets are the right thing.
But regardless of fashion trends, do not forget about your color type. After all, only colors that are in harmony with the appearance can create a truly beautiful image.

10. Down jacket with a print or plain. What to choose?
To finally give the bored down jackets a smart look, the designers supplemented them with all sorts of prints.
Optical, graphic, animalistic and floral - the choice, as well as the imagination of designers, is limitless!
Those who do not dare to go too creative can enter the trend gradually and choose a calmer model for themselves in neutral shades.
According to forecasts, a print in the form of a small cell will be in fashion next season. Anyone who wants to stand out and be one of the first to get into the trend can find a similar option at the winter sale right now.

11. How to choose a down jacket according to your figure?
With the help of outerwear, you can easily hide flaws and emphasize the dignity of the figure.
Down jackets are voluminous by nature, but with the right choice of style, they can play to our advantage.
- If you have a wide waist, it is better to choose fitted models with diagonal stitching or inserts, this will help create the illusion of an hourglass figure. But patch pockets and models with a belt should be avoided.
- Small stature and short legs can be compensated by shortened models of down jackets, not lower than mid-thigh. Long down jackets in this case should be proportional to the figure, especially in the shoulder area. And you should combine them exclusively with shoes with heels or platform.
- On figures with magnificent breasts, fitted down jackets with a belt look better. It is worth avoiding wide horizontal stitching and puffy collars so as not to visually make the image bulky.
- Full girls should not wear overly "inflated" down jackets. It is better to avoid models with elastic bands and cuffs at the bottom, and opt for classic, straighter models with diagonal or vertical stitching. Do not forget that the glossy texture makes you fat, so the choice should be stopped on matte fabrics. Dark colors are always slimming - this is the best choice in most cases.
- Too voluminous down jackets and blankets that are fashionable today are intended only for tall and thin girls. But do not give up, you can always add a couple of extra centimeters with the help of shoes with heels.
In order not to make a mistake with the size, when choosing a down jacket according to the figure, do not forget that under the outerwear there should be a place for a sweater, and things that are too loose let the cold through.
12. Bulky down jacket or "blanket coat"
The most striking and at the same time controversial trend is voluminous clothing in the “oversize” style. In some ways, an inappropriate trend in summer and spring will come in handy during the cold season.
Large and cozy down jackets not only perfectly warm, but also subconsciously resemble blankets, which is especially pleasing when it is -20◦ outside.
Apparently, once Maison Martin Margiela thought just that and created the original "", which are very popular today.

13. How to choose a leather down jacket?
Leather down jackets are gradually gaining popularity. This is the perfect combination of luxurious appearance and heat-saving properties.
Such down jackets are an order of magnitude more expensive than usual, but the quality and appearance fully justify themselves. There are more budget options made of eco-leather or filler in the form of synthetic winterizer. Such options will not last long and will not warm like goose down down jackets.
To correctly choose a down jacket made of leather, first of all, you should make sure that the down is evenly distributed and is in special down bags. You can determine this by touch.
The lines should be even, on leather products this is especially striking. Fittings - serviceable and have the presence of company logos. And the skin is soft and of the same thickness throughout the product.
The most successful options are down jackets made of calf or buffalo leather. They will last much longer than pigskin down jackets.
Choose leather down jackets, like leather jackets, preferably in size.

Products that fit tightly on the figure look beautiful both in a shortened version and in an elongated version - this can be seen in the photo.

An oversized duvet, as if worn from someone else's shoulder, is a real trend of the season. Wide and voluminous models with a skillful combination with clothes and shoes will make you a real fashionista. You should know that the cocoon down jacket is not combined with all the clothes. Pair it with skinny pants, jeans and smart shoes. Avoid extra volume!
Stylish trapeze
Do you want an original product, not devoid of sophistication and femininity? Choose flared down jackets in the shape of a trapezoid. This is the real trend of the season!
Down jackets-dresses
A sophisticated silhouette is the leitmotif of this season and will suit petite slender girls who want to look feminine at any time. Pay attention to the doll-style down-dress. The bottom of such models is sewn in the form of a skirt, and the length can be both knee-deep and up to the ankle. In the photo below you can see how beautifully the fur trim on the cuffs, pockets and collar highlights the down jacket dress.
Long down jackets
Models that are below the knee and up to the ankle are also popular and feminine, especially when combined with a belt strap. In fashion are long straight models according to the figure, as well as trapezoid. The main thing is that such a model can be worn with any clothes - tight trousers and jeans, dresses and skirts. Despite the fact that there are no restrictions in length, it is still better to choose an ankle-length down jacket for older ladies. We advise young girls to opt for midi length and knee length.
midi and knee length
A model that covers the knee is the most ideal option for the winter. Designers prefer A-line silhouettes and slightly fitted models under the belt. The midi length will emphasize the femininity of the legs, so it is better to combine it with tight pants, leggings and dresses. In down jackets that cover your legs, it is not cold even to go on winter walks. Compared to models up to the heels, the knee length does not hinder movement.
Short down jackets
Down jackets up to the middle of the thigh and shorter are also in fashion. Cropped jackets are very versatile: they look great with skinny jeans and heeled ankle boots, as well as sportswear. Especially gentle - pastel colors and fashionable this season white color. No less popular are bright jackets with a hood and a stand-up collar.
Asymmetry and down coat
Today, models resembling a classic coat are in trend - this style is feminine and unusual, especially the top with a large retractable collar. The highlight of the style is asymmetry. For creating interesting image designers use such elements as an unusual cut, fasteners, zippers, large pockets, an original collar.
Refinement of fur
Fur trim is always a popular move by designers. Therefore, in the new season, down jackets with fur collars and inserts are still in demand. Femininity will add short fur on the collars, cuffs and hood. They look great with both natural fur and faux fur. This is perfectly demonstrated by the photos below.
Down jackets with fur pockets are a real decoration and a squeak of the season. Fur trim will fit beautifully into snow-white winter landscapes. A voluminous fur collar will give the image a special chic.
A much needed hood
The hood adds spice to outerwear; for the cold season it is very handy to purchase a down jacket with such protection from snow and wind. In the collections of famous designers, there are a lot of options with a hood with buttons, fasteners and additional buttons from strong winds. Undoubtedly, any universal hood will decorate a solid fur.
What filler to choose?
Recently, down jackets on synthetic winterizer have replaced natural down-feather due to the impracticality of the latter. Many designers have switched to bio-down (an artificial substitute for natural down), thinsulate, holofiber, on the basis of which modern and warm models are sewn. Hollofiber is an artificial filler that retains heat well and does not absorb moisture. Does not wear out or deform. Compared to down, it is practical in washing and wearing and is unpretentious in care. You can wash a product with such a filler at least every week, without fear that it will lose its appearance, unlike natural. The undeniable advantage is the low price. The main thing is to choose a quality substitute for fluff.
Advice. A holofiber down jacket can be washed at home without any problems. washing machine. If it is light, you need to do this more often, which cannot be said about the natural filler. When washing, turn the product inside out and use liquid powder.

Fashion loves to surprise, and the main trend recent years there was a departure from patterns and stereotypes in favor of a combination of the most unexpected elements. The motto “combine the incongruous” is very relevant today, so it’s not at all surprising to meet a fashionista in a voluminous down jacket and sandals.
By the way, this is the favorite style of the famous singer Riana, from whom you can learn to wear with elegant sandals on high heels oversized long down jacket.
The oversized style, which means “large size” or “clothing from someone else’s shoulder,” is not new on fashion catwalks.

Designers for tailoring always use voluminous material with double insulation. Therefore, you can not be afraid to freeze in winter weather. The combination of style and comfort - this is how you can characterize oversized down jackets. A variety of models allows you to create different images.
The main signs of oversized down jackets

Its lightness and airiness will perfectly emphasize the contrast with a huge down jacket. In addition, such a dress will go well with winter shoes, such as high boots. And do not be afraid to freeze - with an oversized down jacket it is simply impossible!
- With cropped trousers and a turtleneck. The turtleneck remains one of the most versatile wardrobe items. In this case, its conciseness and adjacent silhouette will emphasize fragility and femininity, which will also be an excellent contrast against the background of a voluminous down jacket “from someone else’s shoulder” thrown over from above. Throw in cropped straight or tapered trousers, timberlands or your favorite boots and voila! - comfortable, stylish and practical cruise look is ready. In this form, you can safely go for a walk, shopping, a cup of coffee with friends and even on a trip.
- With jeans. Jeans do not lose their positions of popularity, only slightly changing the emphasis in fashion on the model. This season brought the baggy “boyfriend” model to the leading position, but you should not combine them with an oversized down jacket. It will be too much, and the image will turn out, rather, comical. For a bow with a down jacket, choose straight or skinny jeans, but you can really add a baggy voluminous sweater to the top - and you will get extra warm and look stylish.
- With a knitted dress. Elements of retro style confidently walk the catwalks in the collections of the new season. Moreover, there are no strict time criteria, so you can choose something from the fashion of past years to your taste. In this bow, we suggest using a short knitted dress, add to it a woolen cap with a neat visor and suede over the knee boots with a rounded toe. The finishing touch will be an oversized voluminous down jacket. And now we have a mix of the 70s and 2017.
- With military style. Do not forget to mix not only "incongruous", but also styles. Do you want to stand out and be trendy? - Choose a green military shirt dress, black thick tights, boots and, of course, our ubiquitous oversized down jacket.
- With sandals and shorts. Winter will definitely be replaced by spring, spring is capricious and fickle! Make your image just as bold and flying. It would seem that it is already really warm, but gusts of fresh spring breeze fly in and make you shiver. Is this a problem if you have a long oversized down jacket? Shorts, a casually tucked-in blouse and heeled sandals, and a cozy and reliable down jacket on top - the look for a meeting with spring is ready!
