Comfortable, covering, warm, black or coloured… The padded jacket has many advantages but struggles to survive from year to year. If at the beginning of the millennium we only swore by down jackets, they have gradually lost success. Then in 2010, everyone adopted the thin Uniqlo down jacket to slip under their coat for maximum protection against the cold. For two winters, the down jacket seems to be making a rather appreciable comeback. No more heavy coats that barely covered us, we are moving on to a down jacket as light as a feather and very cozy!
The reason why the down jacket has never been the fashionista’s favorite coat is very simple: you have to admit that it is not very elegant. With its thickness and its ski outfit side, we have already seen more sophisticated. As a result, she was quickly removed from the podiums.
Well, that was before the arrival of the sportswear and athleisure trend. Brands all over the world set out to create street clothes that you could wear in the upscale gyms of New York. So much so that they didn’t hesitate to abandon their DNA to launch the trendiest pieces of the moment, such as the ugly sneaker that we see absolutely everywhere. And now the Puffer Jacket is part of the equation. Moncler , Off White, Balenciaga… Everyone goes for their luxury down jacket. And it is not to displease us!
We finally find the down jacket
The reason for our satisfaction with the down jacket ? The rediscovered happiness of slipping into a super comfortable and warm coat in winter without being afraid of passing for the redneck of the corner. It’s a bit like leaving home wrapped in your blanket, sheltered from the cold and the wind! The spirit to keep in mind: the 1980s. We totally dare puffy jackets in acid colors as outings from Stranger Things .
After the sleeveless and thin jackets, it is the long women’s down jacket that is also back on the catwalks. We completely dare to go out in the street with our maxi quilted like on a CLOTHING fashion show . The longer and thicker it is, the more we like it. The long down jacket is reserved for slender silhouettes at the risk of it dragging on the ground if it is not adapted to your size.
