How many jackets should a basic outerwear wardrobe have? Every year it becomes more and more difficult to answer, considering how many models of different cuts and styles designers produce for all seasons. Both winter down jackets and lighter demi-season jackets are no longer just protection from the cold, but a full-fledged element of every look. We tell you what options you should choose in 2024 – for comfortable and effective looks for every day.
Jackets-coats
Many people are reluctant to exchange their autumn coats for winter jackets, which often lack elegance. However, the trends of the current season are changing the situation: designers decided to combine the design of elegant midi and maxi length coats with the design of winter down jackets . This is a real challenge to grotesque oversized down jackets – in contrast to them, quite thin but warm down jackets with a belt that accentuates the waist, a couple of rows of buttons and a turn-down collar with sharp corners are gaining popularity. What is needed for women who, even in the cold season, are not ready to part with graceful silhouettes.
Plush jackets
The opposite trend is plush jackets homey, fluffy and soft. On the one hand, fur coats are popular this season on the other hand, these are the kind of jackets that will not add rigor and seriousness to your look. And this is their special charm. Plush jackets go harmoniously with sportswear and casual items, but at the same time they can be used differently – with skirts , trousers , shirts , creating an unusual contrast of styles. In both cases, a textured jacket with “plush” fur gives a double feeling of warmth and comfort.
Leather jackets
Leather jackets are also still in trend, but we will not be talking about them – the leather jackets that we are used to at the beginning of autumn . Leather texture has become especially common in the design of down jackets . With this technique you can achieve different effects. Firstly, the leather looks “noble”, so the usual down jackets made from this fabric look completely different. Secondly, the discreet radiance of the skin helps in creating a “puffy” volume no worse than other materials from which down jackets are usually made. But in this version they turn out to be more original. Hence the trend – in 2024 it will definitely remain relevant.
Jackets with fur
The fur trend is experiencing a rebirth thanks to the particular popularity of fluffy eco-friendly materials. They are used in different ways in the design of winter jackets : there are models close to the classics with a hood or collar insulated with fur, and there are jackets with stylish fur inserts that create a contrast of textures.
And it’s worth highlighting aviator jackets with a fur lining, which shows itself on the outside: on the sleeves, on the hem and collar cuffs. This is perhaps one of the most current models of jackets with fur, which is also easy to combine with other things of different styles – from dresses to trouser suits and sports sets.
Shirt jackets with patch pockets
A neat collar and patch pockets – recognizable details of your favorite casual style began to be used in the design of jackets . The comfort of casual style actively penetrates into the wardrobe of outerwear, so that even on cold days outside the house we feel comfortable and cozy. And many people like this new trend: it’s not for nothing that shirt jackets have become a trend.
Wool models and quilted down jacket shirts are suitable for late autumn and winter, and textile options are suitable for warmer weather. And due to the oversize cut, such jackets can be easily combined with a variety of items, because the volume allows you to simply throw such a shirt on top and go about your business.
Maxi jackets
For some time, maxi-length jackets were considered an option for those who did not really care about the aesthetics of their looks in the autumn-winter season: such jackets were too massive and visually “heavy”. However, now the maxi length is a trend. Including outerwear. Long down jackets have also become hits. Even voluminous and slightly shapeless models help in creating stylish looks if you wear something equally loose and relaxed downwards: wide trousers or jeans , for example. However, a maxi jacket can also hide your outfit underneath and become the only item in the spotlight; in this case, shoes will become an important detail of the image.
Jackets with hood
At the height of the winter season, the hood turns from a design detail into a necessary and practical element of a warm jacket. Its presence is definitely worth paying attention to when choosing a jacket for winter. In addition, the hood is a trend: it enhances the effect of volume, which is now so relevant in outerwear.
Jackets with extra volume
Oversize, it seems, is not going to disappear from the fashion radar: voluminous items are still popular. The trend continues to develop – “dutiks” and large moon boots have returned to fashion; In addition, “inflated” bags resembling pillows are increasingly appearing in collections. And in outerwear, the effect of volume becomes even more noticeable – down jackets, in which you literally “sink”, like in a warm blanket, have become a hit of the season. It must be admitted that voluminous models attract attention and at the same time are truly comfortable.
Current women’s jackets for spring and autumn
Lightweight down jackets
Light quilted jackets have become a demi-season base for every day. They don’t oblige you to adhere to a certain style, as is the case with oversized bombers, plush fur jackets, leather biker jackets or, for example, elegant coats.
Such down jackets can safely be considered an option for any occasion. And, by the way, they can come in handy not only in spring or autumn. Often thin down jackets are worn as an additional insulating layer – under a coat. You can match it with a jacket that matches the color and design, without unnecessary details, so that it is invisible under the coat.
Biker jackets
Leather biker jackets, despite their daring biker-style details, are a true classic. They are easy to combine with jeans, business trousers, and airy boho-style dresses. Such versatility has made the biker jacket a must-have. And now not only the usual leather models are in fashion, but also other fabric options: cotton and thick wool.
