This is the biggest down jacket debate, with some fashion advice simply suggesting roundabouts not to wear a down jacket. In reality ? The decision is yours! If you feel bad about yourself and want to refine your silhouette at all costs, the down jacket is not the simplest model:its padding rounds off, whatever its length. If you assume your morphology, on the other hand, treat yourself and choose the right model! Prefer light padding and straight or flared shapes, with a mid-thigh or knee length, more advantageous for luscious silhouettes. If you're tall, consider above-the-knee and belted styles. Avoid short down jackets, which distribute the volume poorly!
It's hard to get more perfect than a down jacket, for those who want to enhance their silhouette! The only catch? The matchstick effect of the thighs with a short and overly padded down jacket. If you choose this length, remember to balance your morphology with baggy carrot pants and thick shoes. Otherwise, preferably select mid-length to long down jackets, from the knees to the calves. Belt them up if you want to create extra volume, and pair them with winter boots.
To lengthen a morphology, only one imperative:do not cut. Beware of too long down jackets, therefore, or too bright colors, which cause a break in the silhouette. Also watch the volume of the down jacket, a short model that is too padded unbalances the line. If you are slender, opt for short jacket-type down jackets, with light padding more suited to your body type. Choose a color that you wear often, to avoid contrasts. The extra trick? Rebalance the volume with shoes such as lined boots or boots, rather than ankle boots that are too thin. With forms, prefer a length under the buttocks to mid-thigh, but follow the same tips!
If you are often advised to dare very long coats, nothing like this down jacket! The padded models brushing the ankles leaning too often towards the fashion error, rather towards the successful look. Unless you have mastered fashion at your fingertips, prefer knee or even mid-calf lengths, which are ideal for your morphology:you will thus avoid the dressing gown effect. If you are very thin, dare the very padded models. With a medium or round silhouette, on the other hand, favor light quilting. Don't like the long? Good news, the big ones can afford everything! Use your shape, rather than your size, to choose a down jacket that suits your body type.
