It combines comfort and style, as long as you know how to show it off. And it’s not always easy to know how to combine it to be stylish while facing the cold. So, how do you wear a luxury down jacket without looking like a Michelin man? Today gentlemen, I’m giving you some tips!
Forget preconceived ideas about down jackets
Long considered a technical garment, the down jacket has, over the years, found its place in our closets. Gone are the days when it was reserved for winter sports or outings in the mountains. Today, the down jacket is being modernized and asserting itself as a choice that is as chic as it is practical for our winter days. Men’s fashion designers, from the most renowned to the emerging, have integrated it into their collections, revisiting it with premium materials, clean cuts and refined details. The down jacket is no longer just a matter of functionality, it has become a symbol of style. Quilted textures, leather finishes and fur collars add a touch of elegance, while understated shades like black, gray or navy blue guarantee a timeless look. For the more daring, geometric patterns or bright colors can be the ideal choice to stand out. In short, gentlemen, the down jacket is now an essential part of your winter wardrobe, combining warmth and elegance. It’s time to embrace it with confidence and wear it with pride.
Choose a down jacket suited to your figure
Well, the basic thing is to choose a down jacket that matches your body shape. There are several types of down jackets:
- The short down jacket: if you are short, opt for a short down jacket which does not risk compressing your figure. It will also allow you to show off your legs to lengthen your look.
- The mid-length down jacket: for those with a marked waist, the mid-length down jacket will be your best ally. You can also play with belts to cinch it and emphasize your waist.
- The long down jacket: if you are tall, the long down jacket is made for you. It will add an elegant side to your outfit while protecting you from the cold.
My tips for styling your down jacket
Focus on accessories
Accessories are essential to add a trendy touch to your down jacket. Don’t hesitate to play with materials and colors by adding a wool scarf, a scarf or even a matching hat.
Pair it with men’s clothing
To break the “sportswear” effect of the down jacket, combine it with masculine-style (but refined) pieces like slim jeans, a plain t-shirt and a pair of sneakers. You can also wear elegant shoes to enhance the style of your outfit, such as derbies or brogues.
Play with colors and prints
Let yourself be tempted by brightly colored or patterned down jackets to add pep to your winter outfit. Pastel shades can also be a bold choice to brighten up your gray days. Personally I prefer to stick with navy (dark blue) or fir.
Choose original cuts
Oversized down jackets have established themselves, particularly in the fashion world, as have asymmetrical or hooded models. Don’t hesitate to choose original cuts to break away from the classic image of the down jacket.
Get inspired by celebrities
To help you adopt a down jacket with style, take an example from the stars who knew how to tame it. We think in particular of David Beckham et Bradley Cooper, which show us that the down jacket can be chic and elegant when combined with the right pieces. By following my few professional tips (or not), there is no doubt that you will know how to wear a down jacket with panache this winter. So take out your feathers (synthetics please) and face the cold with elegance!
