IN This season, the most necessary thing in your wardrobe will be a puffy jacket. In appearance, such jackets seem large and bulky, but they retain heat amazingly, protect from the piercing wind, and will also be in trend this winter 2018.
D cozy jackets can have a variety of designs - from simple black and luxurious silver down jackets to exotic vintage-style models. Any fashionista will be able to choose a jacket model according to her wishes, and we, in turn, will tell you what is best to wear it with.
TO What's the point of wrapping yourself in a super-fashionable jacket if all the other details of your look don't match it at all? Therefore, before rushing to the store to buy this trendy item, you should think carefully about what you will wear it with. Especially if neither rain nor snow scares you at all, but you want to look as stylish as possible despite any vagaries of nature!
Black padded jacket
H Black color, as always, is the first thing that comes to mind when choosing outerwear, including dudik. It is practical and stylish. Of course, brighter and more provocative colors also have their place, but if you want elegance and restraint, then no one can hold a candle to black in this regard.
E This color is good for its versatility. You can wear it whenever and wherever you want. Under this jacket you can safely wear “” ( made of thick denim with a high waist and rolled legs) and a knitted dress.
E If you want something more sophisticated, then you can combine a puffy jacket with a formal pencil skirt and heeled boots. Monochrome is great, but no one is stopping you from playing with other pops of color. Magic black color goes perfectly with any others. See for yourself how a bright yellow or blood-red sweater plays against the backdrop of a black duvet.
Padded jackets in bright colors
E If the black classic has set your teeth on edge, then you should choose a puffy jacket in more cheerful colors. Whatever color you like: orange, yellow, blue, pink or red, we assure you that you will be “in trend” when wearing this down jacket.
TO When you have settled on choosing the right color, you need to choose a harmonious set to match the jacket. Since the puffy jacket in this case will primarily attract attention, the rest of the wardrobe details should be in more restrained shades.
AND It’s ideal to choose muted colors and fitted silhouettes. If you're not sure what to pair with a bold colored puffer jacket, opt for black skinny jeans, black boots and a black fitted T-shirt.
Puffy jackets in pale colors
E If you are more impressed by minimalist images, then the entire discreet palette of pastel colors is at your disposal. A padded jacket looks fashionable, no matter what color it is made in: dusty pink, cream, khaki or dark blue.
ABOUT the look will not be as modest as when choosing black, and much more restrained compared to the flashy colors that we discussed above, and yet jackets in such shades do not lose their charm and look incredibly stylish. Padded jackets in soft colors will complement any casual look; they look especially good with blue denim. So feel free to take your favorite jeans or denim skirt out of your closet and wrap yourself in a comfortable oversized puffy jacket. You can wear a printed T-shirt underneath and lace-up boots or sneakers on your feet.
Silver dutik
P Over the past few seasons, silver has become a favorite color when it comes to accessories like shoes. Now this metallic shade of gray has become increasingly used not only in shoes, but also in clothing, including outerwear.
WITH ribbed duds conquer not only the catwalks, but also the streets of cities. If your wardrobe seems too bland, dull and boring to you, then hurry up to replenish it with a luxurious silver puffer jacket. With such a jacket you can create a unique futuristic look, the most important thing is that other details of clothing are simpler and more discreet. Silver is good in combination with white and black.
IN By choosing this combination, you will look excellent without a hint of sparkling absurdity. Such casual style elements as flared jeans, a simple T-shirt and sneakers look amazing with a silver duvet.
Maxi-dutik
D cozy jackets are also good in the sense that in such clothing you will not freeze even in the most severe cold; their main charm is their large size. Some models resemble huge duvets, which are not so much worn as clothing, rather than wrapped like a blanket.
M You can choose a maxi length model, this guarantees that, firstly, you will not freeze, and secondly, you are 100% guaranteed to look fashionable. Choose a long puffy coat that ends at the shin area. For a coat to look as impressive as possible, it should have a rich color or an interesting print. A model of this type assumes that the image will attract attention and will not go unnoticed. So if you want to add at least a drop of modesty, wear a maxi jacket with a dress and heels. And if being the center of attention is not your first choice, then you can create a dramatic look: for this you will need rock and roll accessories, namely leather pants and a T-shirt with the logo of your favorite band.
Dutik in vintage style
D There are a huge variety of cozy jackets on sale and they can have a wide variety of cuts, decorations and lengths - you can try on any style. For the most part, duvets are more reminiscent of a sporty style and are good for a relaxed holiday, but you shouldn’t lose sight of the good old vintage.
D cozy jackets of this type will greatly refresh your usual look. If you fondly remember the past decades and don’t mind flaunting outfits with a retro touch, then this “antique” duvet will be a welcome guest in your wardrobe.
M You can safely choose any print, color, fabric and cut. A chic retro look will be achieved with leopard and floral patterns; corduroy and rich yellow colors will remind you of the fun 70s. It is best to combine such a jacket with things of the same style, for example, black flared trousers.

The question “why do my images look outdated and scanty? Some ladies suggest that the problem is the inability to use accessories, others consider the main mistake to be the lack of experience in combining things, but often the mistake is hidden in the basis of the wardrobe - clothes and their combinations that are out of date.
For example, a duo of jeans + a short jacket with prominent hips is a look that, without exaggeration, can be called popular in St. Petersburg.
Let me start with the fact that every time I come to Russia, I am not eager to write articles criticizing the appearance of my compatriots; on the contrary, I am sincerely pleased to see positive changes, such as abandoning outdated hair coloring techniques or other outdated methods of appearance design. Interest in fashion is a rather idle activity; if women take the time to learn about current clothing styles and principles of combining things, then not everything is bad in our area.
I usually come to Russia in the summer, but my current trip took place at the end of May, which turned out to be very cold this year, and the beginning of June was completely dumbfounded with temperatures close to zero and wet snow, which, for obvious reasons, was not conducive to summer outfits and forced women put on the most familiar or, I would say, popular look among residents of St. Petersburg - jeans with a jacket.
What kind of jackets are these?The vast majority of girls, middle-aged women and even respectable ladies, regardless of weight, height and volume, choose short jackets and down jackets just below the waist, which not only leave the hips open, but also enhance any imbalances or imperfections in the figure.
Some women try to imitate layering by wearing a jumper, top or shirt longer than a jacket as the first layer, however, this technique does not really save the situation, because body-fitting clothes are chosen as the first layer.
It’s not entirely clear why this particular outfit became popular among women in the off-season; I couldn’t find any rational explanation for this phenomenon. One might assume that a cropped top is chosen to build proportions and visually lengthen the legs, but this technique usually works when combining a short jacket with skirts; when jeans or trousers are used, the length of the legs is obvious, moreover, prominent hips and low butt and other juicy details.
It is possible that shortened jackets are chosen due to the reluctance to often wash or clean outer clothing, which in inclement St. Petersburg very quickly gets splashed with dirt, but in this case the jacket is at least to the middle of the thigh (let me remind you, the thigh is the part of the leg from the hip joint to the knee ) more rational from an aesthetic and practical point of view!
What's wrong with folk onions?
- jackets are too short
- jackets fit tightly to the body
- the first layer is a jumper, shirt or tunic that is either too close to the body or shorter than necessary
- jeans are often not suitable for an ensemble with a short jacket and selected shoes, usually skinny ones + sneakers, which further emphasizes massive hips
If a woman has a slender figure similar in type to a rectangle or an inverted triangle, a long hip and a narrow pelvis, a combination of jeans or trousers with a cropped jacket can look quite decent on her,
pay attention to the model of jeans, these are not skinny ones!
if the height is far from model-like, and the figure is generously flavored with prominent hips, thighs and chest, you should think several times before buying a short jacket and combining it with jeans, especially skinny ones or trousers.
For women 35-40+, this combination is completely undesirable, because it creates a scanty and inferior image.
How to?
The following idea has been voiced more than once on public pages and fashion websites: a rational and modern wardrobe is not a matter of money, but a matter of choice!
The things that you buy and determine your image in the future, and what this image will be - a modern woman or a short-haired aunt, depends solely on the choice you make when buying clothes, shoes and accessories!
Jacket
A short jacket should not fit tightly to the body. If oversized is too fashionable for you, then choose at least a model that is not figure-hugging.
It is better to wear such a jacket with massive hips with skirts and dresses, complementing the look with shoes with heels or platforms.
With trousers and jeans, it is better to choose oversized jackets that reach mid-thigh and below. Or...
Multi-layering
A tight-fitting jumper sticking out from under a short jacket is not the best solution for massive hips. It’s another matter when a multilayer set consists of voluminous items of different lengths, for example, an elongated shirt + a short jacket. In this case, it is important to combine a short jacket with jeans and trousers.
Have a good day!
No matter how capricious fashion may be, leather jackets are always relevant. A jacket made of genuine leather or a budget version of a leather jacket - any item looks impressive and harmoniously combines with other elements of the wardrobe.
How to wear cropped styles
Popular short leather jackets are chosen by young fashionistas and older ladies. For corpulent girls, straight models are suitable, and for slender girls, fitted or slouchy ones like a bomber jacket. Beauties fell in love with leather jackets - jackets with a diagonally located zipper. A traditional fastener is no less in demand; it can be the same zipper, a row of buttons or buttons. There are even wrap-around jackets, they do not have a fastener, and it is recommended to wear them under the belt.
There are a variety of collar options for leather jackets. In biker jackets this is a stand-up collar, often with lapels; in classic jackets there is a round neck without a collar; leather jackets with a stand-up collar are popular. Wear a jacket with a round neck with a neckerchief or scarf-collar, which will act as a collar. If you prefer slightly shocking outfits, choose a biker jacket with decorative elements in the form of metal zippers, rivets, spikes, embroidery, epaulettes, chains, and original buttons. Add a sassy touch to your look by rolling up your sleeves.
A cropped leather jacket goes well with wide and narrow trousers, short and long dresses, narrow and flared skirts. Under the jacket, wear a shirt, a knitted top or T-shirt, a chiffon blouse, a thin pullover, or a turtleneck.
When choosing a leather jacket, don’t limit yourself to black – products of different shades become wardrobe staples. Let's find out what to wear with multi-colored cropped jackets.

WE ARE RELENTLESSLY MONITORING behind new trends, but many of them raise questions: how livable is this? How and with what to wear crop tops, hairy sneakers, teddy 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’ll figure out what to do with down jackets: creating images with them that are more decent than “I’m not far from the store here” is not at all easy (even though designers have shown unprecedented interest in down jackets this season - especially in huge sizes) . We have collected 10 sets with warm jackets that will rehabilitate this winter wardrobe item. We prove: you can wear down jackets with anything, the main thing is to follow a few simple rules.
Medium length down jacket
with a dress
A white down jacket is not the most practical thing, but sometimes you can sacrifice utilitarianism (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 wearing such a jacket with a pleasant knitted dress, warm boots with thick soles and, of course, tights (in this case it is better to choose brown or gray). Headdresses of any rich natural colors look good with a beige-milky set, but we especially like the accent shade of “Marsala” - 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 line of the zipper on the down jacket merges with the line of the zipper on the skirt - it looks, of course, interesting, but this technique can play a cruel joke on short girls. Therefore, be careful with verticals. Otherwise, this option is so good that you can copy it almost word for word - from the straight silhouette of the down jacket to socks with rough lace-up boots. Just in case, let us once again remind you about tights and the harsh reality in which it is impossible to exist in a down jacket without a scarf or a turtleneck sweater. It’s better, of course, to choose both at once and add mittens - they say that the winter this year will be cold.
Coat over down jacket and summer dress
Firstly, layering is our best friend during the six months that winter lasts in Russia. Secondly, a voluminous coat worn over a down jacket looks more unusual than these two things separately. In general, it’s sometimes useful to remember that you can wear not only weightless Uniqlo jackets under outerwear. The main advantage of the image, obviously, is that it is very warm and you can wear the lightest, even summer, dress under it. And although a romantic dress with chunky boots is almost a common thing, this combination still works. Especially in winter, when no one really expects to see him. In this case, the bag does not have to be fur - on the contrary, it seems to us that it is better to focus on the most laconic model without any flashy details.
Short down jacket with printed trousers
The key benefit of this set isn't that Humberto Leon and Carol Lim came up with the idea of layering a jacket over trousers and a skirt, but that the duo from Kenzo reminded us how many cool pieces there are with prints that can be tucked away in the back corner of your closet. all winter there is no reason. Try to take the basics from here and discard everything unnecessary: a short oversized down jacket with laconic boots with medium heels and trousers with a monochrome print - it’s really very beautiful. You can support the combination with a sporty black and white backpack with an alphabet pattern, and replace the hat with a slightly brighter headband. This set will not protect you from forty-degree frost, but you can walk in it right now.
Medium length down jacket with skirt and boots
From season to season, the Moncler team works competently not only in a marketing sense, but also in a stylistic sense, so that the Gamme Rouge shows and lookbooks of other lines of the brand can be safely used as winter cheat sheets. This year, this approach suddenly became also a patriotic act: designer Erdem Moralioglu, who created a collection for the Moncler E fashion line, was inspired by the aesthetic heritage of the House of Romanov and the Soviet sixties. The result turned out to be truly royal, but we liked the simplest and most effective image - a tight short circle skirt, the hem of which peeks out from under a medium-length down jacket, and jockey boots. Under a down jacket you can wear a shirt of any degree of romance and a sweater, and when the thermometer finally plummets down, we advise you to think about a hat and, possibly, thermal underwear. Warm tights are assumed by default.
Oversized down jacket with flared trousers
Let's not lie and immediately voice the main disadvantage of this look: flared trousers on the floor require high-heeled shoes (or tall), as well as dry weather. But if you find a jacket that is at least close to ideal and comfortable boots with stable heels, you will get one of the most beautiful winter looks you can imagine, and the disadvantages will self-destruct. Such sets greatly elongate the silhouette and look both simple (for work or school) and solemn (for example, for the way to the theater, it’s also suitable). Optionally, you can complement the look with a bright hat and funny mittens to make it fun.
Knee-length down jacket with miniskirt and ankle boots
Winter is not a reason to deny yourself dresses and short skirts. An elegant dress for the New Year can be worn with your favorite long down jacket in a bright color. The upper part of the set does not require any adjustments, with the lower part everything is clear: beautiful, but summer sandals should be replaced with neat ankle boots, and put on tights on your legs - maybe to match the skirt, or to match the shoes. Everything together makes a neutral impression, so if you are really going to a moderately unbridled party, you can add large earrings with natural stones.
Short down jacket with flared jeans
Everyone dressed like this at least once, and yes, it’s not very original, but it’s comfortable and cute. Please note that the jeans here are flared, and not skinny, which fill all the streets in winter and for some reason gain popularity even among those girls who have long worn much more interesting models at any other time of the year. If flared jeans designed to be worn without heels fit correctly, they will end 2-3 centimeters above the floor - there are both aesthetic and utilitarian reasons for this (think about puddles of reagent when trying them on). Slip-ons can be replaced with sporty, but winter shoes, and the overall calmness of the image can be diluted with a red turtleneck. You can live like this all winter and feel great.
