Advantages

disadvantages

• over time, the filler begins to creep out of the product;
• products with natural fluff can tingle the skin;
• dense fabric does not allow air to pass through;
• not suitable for people with allergies.

These problems are more likely to relate to products of dubious quality that are sold on the market. If you purchase a down jacket from a well-known brand that monitors the quality of its products, you are unlikely to face such problems.

To prevent the natural filler from tingling, make sure it contains at least 80% down and only 20% feathers. If you want your skin to breathe, choose breathable membrane fabric. If you are allergic, choose a product for yourself with a high-quality artificial filler, which is not inferior to the natural one in terms of its thermal insulation properties.

With inserts. Popular models with leather, suede and fur inserts. They look very impressive and stylish, so they are suitable both for urban everyday life and for going to work.

Quilted... We can find quilted motifs everywhere, they are not spared and down jackets. Choose a bright and unusual model that will look interesting.

Short... Cropped jackets end at the lower back without covering the thighs. They are suitable for slim fashionistas and modern car ladies. To match it with any outfit, choose a model that looks like a jacket. And those who love active sports will love the sporty cropped jackets.

Materials that are unusual for us are in fashion and look very elegant. These are tweed, cashmere, wool, fabric with a metallic sheen. But you should forget about nylon, it is only appropriate for ski jackets.

Fur, in any of its forms, also does not go out of fashion. For example, in the collections of Stella McCartney, which does not use natural materials to create clothes, you can find decent down jackets with faux fur. They are suitable for those who share the "green" views on the use of animal skins in clothing.

If you want your down jacket to serve for more than one season, choose a product with high-quality filler.

1. Natural fluff. A very warm filler that retains heat well. The air trapped between the filler fibers is heated by your body heat, creating a warm air layer. Sometimes it gets lost in lumps after washing, but it is not difficult to reanimate it by distributing the fluff back over the jacket.
2. Natural feathers. The filler is of not very high quality, which will not heat well, crawl out of the jacket and prick. It is categorically not suitable for winter, it can be worn only in the spring-autumn period.
3. Holofiber. High quality, very lightweight and warm filler. When washed, it does not lose its thermal insulation properties, does not get lost in lumps. Suitable for people with allergies.
4. Sintepon. Popular budget material often found in winter jackets. However, it does not retain heat very well, therefore it is not suitable for severe frosts. But it is easy to wash and dries pretty quickly.

The color scheme of modern down jackets is varied. In the collections of famous designers, you can find models of emerald, orange, purple, burgundy colors. More complex shades are also popular: pearl gray, rose quartz, linden, indigo.

The absolute favorite is the white down jacket, which looks very impressive.Of course, it is very easily soiled and is not suitable for daily travel on public transport, but it does not hurt to have it as a backup.

A wide variety of colors are in fashion: camouflage, cage, stripes, floral and animal prints, surreal motifs and abstraction. Young girls should pay attention to models that combine at least two contrasting colors.

Down jackets with prints of state flags, with military emblems and stripes look especially good. They add zest to any look and will appeal to those who are used to always being in the spotlight.

Cropped down jackets can also be voluminous, puffy. Due to the wide elastic at the waist, some of them resemble insulated bombers. This jacket is an excellent fashionable solution for girls with slender long legs.

Ski jackets are sporty classics that never go out of style, or at least they are quite popular this season. Choose a bulky model just below the buttocks with a large fur hood. A jacket like this is perfect for a ski resort, but can be worn around town as well. The play on contrast looks especially interesting - tight skinny or stocking dress and a massive oversized ski jacket.

When choosing a down jacket, you need to focus on four main criteria:

1. Filler type;
2. Product quality;
3. The functionality of the selected model;
4. Suitable style.

Perhaps, it is worth starting with the style - if the model does not suit you or you don’t like it, it makes no sense to look at the quality.

For those with an apple shape, a fitted model with diagonal stripes or inserts at the waist will create the effect of an hourglass shape. Avoid short models with a belt and patch pockets.

Down jackets with a belt at the waist and an unusual bottom shape are suitable for girls - "pears". An asymmetrical bottom visually distracts attention from shortcomings. Avoid models with tightening elements on the hem, the bottom should be flat or slightly flared.

Short down jackets are suitable for short girls with a boyish figure, up to a maximum of mid-thigh. It will open slender legs, visually make them longer, and the silhouette is taller. Avoid models with long sleeves and bulky shoulders, they will look comical on you. Instead, look for cropped sleeves that accentuate your fragile wrists.

If the down jacket suits you externally, check its quality and be sure to read the information about the "stuffing".You can familiarize yourself with the popular types of filler above, choose the one whose characteristics suit you best.

Pay attention to the quality of the fittings, they must be of high quality. From a good manufacturer, you will find a bag with spare buttons, buttons and other elements in the kit.

The seams on the down jacket should be straight and strong, no threads sticking out. If the lining is also quilted, this is a guarantee that the filler will not stray and fall off during wear.

As for the functionality of your chosen model, it's good to have a detachable hood and fur trim. The presence of internal pockets and an additional removable liner will not be superfluous.

If one of the above criteria does not suit you, feel free to refuse the purchase! A product of inadequate quality or an unsuitable style for you is not worth the money spent.

In order for a down jacket to serve you as long as possible, it requires proper care. Washing is carried out at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees. It cannot be soaked; it should be in the water as little as possible. Therefore, try to select the quick wash mode after removing stubborn dirt by hand. For this, use a gentle stain remover, and for washing, use an antibacterial agent that will prevent various microorganisms from multiplying in the filler.

Now you are familiar with fashion trends, popular styles and colors of down jackets. Thanks to the most important selection criteria, you can purchase a high-quality, stylish and fashionable product that will serve you for many years!
