Fashionable women's down jackets for autumn and winter

A century ago, it was simply impossible to buy such a familiar thing as a down jacket in a regular store. Today, a down jacket is not just a comfortable and more budgetary alternative to an expensive winter fur coat made of natural fur, but also a stylish wardrobe item, without which it is simply impossible to imagine your life.

Did you know that down jackets were invented not by designers, but by ... scientists. Intellectuals spent days in laboratories, where they developed clothes for polar explorers and climbers. They didn’t try any materials, but the things were either too heavy to climb the mountains, or not warm enough.

However, fortunately, the secret of warm and light clothing was discovered - scientists have guessed that the best filler for clothes is down! So, down jackets have become a favorite clothing for climbers, polar explorers, skiers and the military ...

A hundred years ago, it was impossible to buy a down jacket in a regular store - all items of down clothing could be obtained only in specialized stores. But soon this thing hit the masses. It is not surprising that the first down jackets were voluminous, and people felt clumsy in them. Therefore, the first companies to manufacture these garments miraculously managed to avoid bankruptcy.

Only with the appearance of the collection of fashionable down jackets of the legendary designer Yves Saint Laurent, down jackets received true recognition in the fashion world. Today, fashion shows of down outerwear are as widespread and significant as the shows of new models of evening dresses.

So, what kind of down jackets are fashionable to wear this fall and the coming winter?

It is in this season that designers flatly refuse sports clumsy, but incredibly comfortable down jackets. Now the dominant criterion is not comfort, but style, cut and play of material and volume. Designers are ready to embody all their wildest decisions and fantasies in this particular wardrobe item.

The down jacket should fit the figure!
Quilted models from down, sewn to the figure, look especially interesting. The most significant element of such a down jacket should be a voluminous belt. Designers can let their imaginations come up with any design. Any material, size, presence or absence of a buckle - as they say "to your taste", if only the belt would highlight the waist and emphasize the chest.

Length of fashion down jackets
Of course, if you are constantly driving a car, then your option is a short puffer jacket to mid-thigh. However, if your passion for fashion is stronger than comfort, then you need to choose a down jacket that is longer. This season, the designers settled on the classic length, which always looks advantageous - just above the knee.

Fur is fashionable!
Once there was a myth that fur on down jackets is a relic of the past. But today, fur is the main highlight of the style. Volumetric and cropped, natural shades and dyed - it does not matter. Fur makes the down jacket more expressive and colorful.

It is important to pay attention to the location of the fur. This season, fur can be found even in the most unexpected parts of the down jacket. The collar and cuffs are timeless classics of the genre. In autumn 2015, designers pay close attention to wide pockets lined with fur. A worthy alternative to fur cuffs.

Down jacket chameleon!
Not quite right if you think about color. Down jackets that can change not the color, but the shape will be fashionable this season. Functional transformable models are a down jacket with fur that can be easily unfastened and put into a classic wardrobe item. This model is the easiest way to change your style.

Color - just not black!
Probably, you won't be mistaken if you choose a down jacket according to the usual pattern - “fits the eyes”.However, this season, experts propose to be guided by different principles. They suggest giving up the annoying black and white colors. The most fashionable colors of autumn 2015 will be cold burgundy, eggplant, dark blue and chocolate. Despite such a set of shades, you should not give up warm pastel and bright juicy colors, if your soul asks for them.

Fashion prints
The easiest way to transform your outerwear is to use prints. This fall, designers have brought their wildest ideas to life in a variety of lines and silhouettes on the down jacket so that women can express their individuality and become visible.

Prints are not only a means of designer's expressiveness, but also a functional technique for adjusting the figure. For example, an ornate print on the chest on a dark down jacket will distract the eye from the massive hips.

Leather down jackets
A leather down jacket is an absolutely unique thing that will emphasize your individual style and status. Moreover, this season, designers have especially played with this model, adding gradient fur, knitted inserts and voluminous zippers.
