The winter jacket is an essential piece for facing cold temperatures while staying stylish. Between different cuts, materials and technologies, how do you choose the right one?
1. The key criteria for choosing your winter jacket
Several factors come into play when selecting the ideal winter jacket:
- Insulation: down, synthetic wadding, or technical fleece — each has its advantages. Down offers the best warmth-to-weight ratio, while synthetics resist humidity better.
- The outer material: opt for windproof and water-repellent fabrics like technical polyamide or treated cotton.
- The cut: a jacket that's too tight limits movement and layering; too loose, it lets heat escape. The ideal cut allows for a sweater underneath without excess bulk.
2. The different styles of winter jackets
The bomber jacket: originally a military piece, it's a versatile choice. In leather or nylon, it pairs just as well with chinos as with jeans.
The parka: the ultimate winter protection. Long cut, hood lined with (faux) fur, it's the ally of polar temperatures.
The quilted jacket: lightweight and warm, it's perfect for active city days. In technical silk or recycled nylon, it's the modern choice.
The wool coat jacket: the elegant alternative. In cashmere or virgin wool, it combines style and thermal protection.
