The years are painters who never stop, and every year they add a few strokes to us. For women, dress styles and needs tend to change as they get older.
Especially in the cold season, as a warm choice, the selection and matching of down jackets are particularly important. This article is specially designed for mature women, and aims to share how to choose a down jacket to show elegance and keep warm.
If you want to reduce the "collision rate" of down jackets, you must first choose the right style that suits you
(1) No matter how old a woman is, she should stay away from these 2 down jacket styles
The first type, shiny down jacket, is fat and tacky
Today, designers keep up with fashion trends and give down jackets a new twist, however, not all of them are suitable for every mature woman. Take the widespread "shiny down jacket" as an example, although it may instantly attract attention, the highly reflective surface material is not only easy to make the body look bloated, but also easy to fall into the dilemma of vulgarity in daily wear.
The smart choice is to turn to down jackets made of "matte fabrics", which usually have the same warmth properties and exude a sense of understated luxury from the inside out, which can bring out the stability and elegance of a mature woman.
The second type, the workwear down jacket, although individual, but the style is not easy to control
Another type of down jacket that needs to be avoided is the workwear style. Although this type of down jacket is popular among young people, because of its silhouette and three-dimensional pockets, it is often difficult for mature women to be tough and undignified.
In contrast, the down jacket with "sewing thread" design is more suitable, with detailed lines outlining a simple and detailed structure, effectively balancing functionality and slim effect, and invisibly adding a refined lifestyle
(2) Teach you a few "tips" for choosing down jackets
Selection method 1: Choose more down jackets with a bit of "design".
Design Style 01." Tunic design" of the down jacket
Who says that you can't show off a woman's graceful posture in winter? A down jacket can be cleverly designed, and a design detail that cannot be ignored is the "corset". While elongating the proportions of the body, the design that tightens the waist greatly reduces the inherent bulkiness of the down jacket, revealing an elegant silhouette. Combined with the embellishment of shaping belts or belts, it creates a glamorous effect such as a sober skirt.
Design Style 02." Hooded design" of the down jacket
The warmth of the head is also an important part of the winter protection strategy, and the hooded down jacket provides an extra warm shelter from the wind, and the hooded part of the border or fur collar can be flexibly switched between casual and formal occasions, and the line from the head to the shoulders is visually raised, which is conducive to reducing the vicissitudes of age and making people look younger.
Selection method 2, pay more attention to the "cutting" of down jackets
In addition to the material and style, the cut of the down jacket is also related to the final result. When it comes to slimming and comfort, styles with "loose cuffs" and "hip-length" are often preferred. In particular, the design of "waist cinching element" not only visually shows the curvaceous beauty of the waist, but also avoids the problem of bloated below the hips, and interprets neatness and generosity to the extreme.
【Chapter 2】Older women with down jackets, pay more attention to the "details" matching
(1) Use these matching "tips" to easily reduce the monotony and dullness of down jackets
Tip 1: Create a "leg-baring" outfit to add breathability
For many fashion-conscious ladies, a plain down jacket tends to give the impression of being bulky and conservative. However, by carefully designing the bottoms, you can bring unexpected fashion results without sacrificing warmth. You can wear it with a skirt that "slightly exposes the calf" or a dress that is "just above the knee" on the inner layer of the down jacket to show off the slender leg line.
Coupled with a pair of plain color bare leg artifacts or hollow leggings, it visually realizes the "pseudo-skin-exposed" outfit, even when the temperature is low, it can maintain elegance and fashion.
Tip 2: Divide the proportions of the upper and lower body and elongate the leg line
The shaping of body proportions is the most important point that everyone needs to pay attention to when dressing. We can use the "structure" of the garment to optimize the proportions of the body, such as choosing a "cinched waist" down jacket and matching it with a skirt or pants of the right length to create a better outfit.
In addition, you can tuck the hem of the lined "cotton shirt" or "sweater" slightly into the waistband of the pants, so that ignoring it may unexpectedly elongate the overall line.
Tip 3: Match a hat with a down jacket to keep you warm
A comfortable hat not only adds integrity to the overall outfit, but also helps to keep out the cold. Knitted hats are the first choice for many women, but it is best to follow the principle of "simplicity" when choosing and find those delicate "fine knitted" styles to match.
In this way, even a down jacket with a large neckline with a fur rim will not be oppressive due to the heaviness of the headdress. On the contrary, a delicate and soft hat will be combined with a down jacket to create a meaningful winter picture.
Tip 4: Choose a combination of "the same color up and down", which is full of luxury
When choosing a down jacket, consider "matching the tone" with the pants to achieve an intimate and high-end effect, for example, beige or classic khaki are excellent choices. This not only completes the sense of uniformity of the color matching, but also impresses with the high quality. Matching pants of the same color, the enlarged color block can also effectively broaden the overall visual effect and appear more aura.
(2) Master these "matching formulas", no matter how you wear them, they will not go out of style
With formula [1] down jacket and a long skirt with a "strong sense of three-dimensionality", it is elegant and will not have a sense of bloat
Choosing a well-cut, sleek down jacket with a three-dimensional dress is one of the secrets to avoiding bulk. For example, "straight skirts" or "A-line skirts" can be used to create a winter outfit that retains the warmth of a down jacket without lacking a sense of style. This combination is not only comfortable, but also feminine.
Match it with formula [2] down jacket and pants with "loose legs" to easily cover the fat on the legs
In the choice of down jacket, you can pair it with loose pants, such as pipe pants or trousers with a legging, which can not only cover the fat on the legs, but also = dynamic vitality. If the matching trousers are also slightly twilled or striped design, in addition to enriching the visual effect, it also adds an urban rhythm and tension to the cold atmosphere of winter.
With formula [3] down jacket and "simple design" boots, it is simple and atmospheric
Uncomplicated booties are often the go-to piece with a down jacket in winter. It is recommended that you choose more naked boots with a "square toe design", and use rigid lines to contrast with the fluffy softness of the down jacket to outline a simple and atmospheric style. If you choose a plain or close to the color of a down jacket, you can greatly ensure the overall color harmony and uniformity, and improve the overall dress class.
In short, when choosing a style and matching of down jackets in the cold season, you may wish to refer to the above suggestions to carefully choose. As long as you find a style that suits your style, and then pair it with the right accessories and other items, you can enjoy both warmth and fashion, and enjoy the warm sun and breeze in winter.
Remember, while pursuing external beauty, it is also necessary to ensure a warm and comfortable experience, so that it can truly be called the perfect choice for the coexistence of wisdom and aesthetics.
