Dodue but cozy, the down jacket is the new dada to adopt. How to accommodate this over clusable with its silhouette?
If it was a letter, it would be without hesitation a B: hilly build of beads and round sound, the down jacket revive with a paradox, imprisoned between the terms “Balenciaga” and “Bibendum”. The first is the trigger. This piece benefited from a return of hype by parading for the fall-winter 2016-2017 on the podium of the historic house of Cristóbal, the master sculptor of the seam, orchestrated for the first time by Demna Gvasalia, the Soviet troublemaker in vogue. Of this merger was born A down jacketevoking the mythical overturned volumes of the Basque designer, like the meaning of the trendy has been of the artistic director. Neither one nor two, fashion rejuvenated from this over it. The second designates the dreaded silhouette, that of the Michelin man, imposing, reassuring, but really not chic. If the garment claims its cocoon side, the monstrous and puffed pace is a certain brake on its success. It is up to us to reapprivise this very fashionable and very bulky animal.
Build on the right quilt
The down jacket is not such an old fashion memory. A few years ago, she reappeared under the moncler, Pyrenex and paraded claws at Bel Air in a bling version, often crowned with fur. Evolution obliges, the descendants of this somewhat flashy coat has nothing to do with its ancestor of 2008. To be sure of kissing the trend well, precision is in order. The bead is imposing, fatty, assumes in volume as in connotation. We therefore adopt it with obvious sporty references, XXL cut or preciously dressed and out of step, of velvet for example. In short, the down jackets that will make you say: “I don’t like down jackets, but that I like it”.
Zap the first degree
Ideal for fresh temperatures, the down jacket must nevertheless flee the first degree. If its sportswear side transformed it into it-piece, it is because it was approached from a new angle, that of offbeat chic. It must be accompanied by elegant elements, which affirm its fashion identity and turns its back on its purely practical past. A pair of heels, slim or frankly wide pants will accentuate this bias.
Be a lot of plump
Under his tunes of a nice plump, the down jacket can be a terrible viper. Like any fashion obsession, she must be tackled with reason not to fall into ridicule. If its corpulence is glorified by creators, it can be disadvantageous depending on the silhouettes. Quite small, rather strong in chest, with a mini neck, winter gluttony is not prohibited. Just think about carrying it open to keep the look but escape the grooved side.
