5 models of down-padded coats which got out of fashion

Down-padded coat — an integral part of winter clothes of the most part of residents of our country. And if earlier exaggerated jackets could be presented only in sports or more daily images, now they can add any, even the most classical set. However not each model will fit into modern clothes. Besides color, filler, impregnation and fabric, it is also worth paying attention to a style.

Down-padded coat with a belt and a hood

The belt helps to heat a waist, and the hood protects the head from cold — everything true, but only in the theory. In practice at low temperatures such down-padded coat will be useless. And all because of volume — he too densely sits on a figure therefore it has no air layer.


Down-padded coat with a large amount of fur

On pockets, sleeves, along a lightning on all length, well and on a hood, of course, yes it is more … Such abundance of fur will turn any city dweller into the representative of northern indigenous people or at all will become sending in primitive times.

What not so? First, fur is not fashionable any more. Every year more and more designers (including eminent fashion houses) refuse natural fur in favor of artificial. And secondly, in modern fashion the main thing — functionality, and fur as finishing does not help with heat preservation in any way (unless on a hood).


The shortened down-padded coat with a sleeve?

One more model, popular for the unclear reasons. Why it is impossible to call this model modern? The answer is in the name of point — shortened with a short sleeve. Thus, the main function of a down-padded coat — protection against cold — vanishes. Besides, together with purchase of such down-padded coat one more problem appears: search of gloves of suitable length, color and quality. And it, believe, a difficult task.


Down-padded coats with a skirt

About 5-7 years ago this model was very popular. However and then it was difficult to call it successful. First, the similar style strongly limits universality of sets. With such down-padded coat sneakers and in general things though a little in sports style or footwear in brutal subject will strange look. Also it will be difficult to pick up trousers of the necessary width — generally this model means a combination only to dresses or skirts. And in tights happens comfortably not always in the winter. Secondly, the magnificent skirt badly keeps heat, and here wind passes very well. Well and thirdly, the style extending to a bottom adds unnecessary volume in the lower part of a set, and incorrectly picked up footwear will make you lower, though visually.


Thin down-padded coats

Very popular model which analog can be met practically in each brand now. And it is really necessary and useful thing in cold season, but with one reservation: if to carry it it is exclusive as an intermediate layer: under a coat, a jacket, a raincoat or a fur coat. For a basic element of outerwear such down-padded coats — too thin even if suit you on temperature condition. The same concerns the extended models of the similar plan.
