Wear a down jacket while remaining feminine

Quilted bomber, long parka, oversized women's down jacket, long hooded down jacket... you'll be spoilt for choice! Rule number 1: As a down jacket is an imposing piece, to create a harmonious ensemble and avoid looking like a sleeping bag, we avoid multiplying colors! Looking for a long parka ? Pair it with boyfriend jeans and a crop-top hoodie. On the feet, opt for vintage sneakers and socks in flamed cotton, or with a logo reminiscent of street-food culture, such as a hot dog, a slice of pizza or a burger!
As for men, for a basic, effective everyday look that can be worn for a drink or a trip to the supermarket, pair the down jacket with jeans. Choose oversized and why not in a flashy color, so you don't look no-look! A well-fitting cap in a more reserved tone and moccasins make the perfect combination!
Courageous women, for whom even the harshest winter days won't prevent them from wearing dresses, will have the choice of pairing a close-fitting dress with ankle boots and an oversized down jacket, or with a long quilted women's parka.
As you can see, the down jacket will be your best ally in these cold weather conditions, which are not about to let up any time soon!
