How to Style A Long Down Coat?

Nowadays, many girls prefer to buy long trench coats and cropped down coats . This is most likely because down coats are more puffy, and many girls who love beauty are worried that long down coats will make them look tough and stocky. However, long down coats have their unique advantages, and as long as you choose a down coats that suits you, the visual effect will not be bad.

This passage is going to clarify the advantages of a long down coat to tell you why a long down coat is a good choice for winter. If you would like to try a long down coat, then you can read this passage and learn how to choose a suitable one and how to accessorize it. In addition, several fashion tips will also be provided for you to wear a long down coat.

When winter comes, we have many choices actually. We can choose a coat made of tweed, wool, down or other fabrics, and in terms of length, we can choose a cropped coat, a mid-length coat, or a long coat. Maybe there is already a cropped down coat or a tweed coat in your wardrobe, but it is suggested that you prepare a long down coat. The reasons are as follows.

From the perspective of fabric, obviously down has the best warmth retention effect. This is also why you can wear trench coats and tweed coats in the fall when it is not too cold, but in the winter, you still need to wear down coats. In addition, down is very light while keeping you warm. Maybe you have found that a tweed coat is very stylish and can make people look very formal when they wear it. This is probably because tweed is heavier, so tweed coats are less likely to deform or wrinkle, so they look particularly dignified. However, a tweed coat may be too heavy for long-term wear, especially for some slim ladies. At this time, you can more deeply appreciate the advantages of a long down coat. It is also not easy to wrinkle and deform, and at the same time it is very light.

Now let us compare a cropped down coat and a long one. Obviously, both have their pros and cons. A cropped down coat is easier to put on and take off, and it does not cause any inconvenience in movement. However, in very cold weather, a short down coat will definitely not be as warm as a long down coat. The main disadvantage of a long down coat is that it is not very convenient to put on and take off, especially when the zipper gets stuck. However, if the temperature outside is too cold to withstand even in a cropped down coat, the only option is a long down coat.

Of course, long down coats also have some disadvantages. In addition to the inconvenience of putting on and taking off mentioned above, washing and maintenance is also a problem. If conditions permit, it is better to dry clean it. Otherwise, if you wash it in a washing machine, the down is likely to clump and be unevenly distributed. But for the coldest weather in winter, a long down jacket is undoubtedly the trump card to resist the cold.

Although a long down coat is a must for the cold winter, the concerns of girls who love beauty cannot be ignored. Indeed, long down coats are large in volume, so they may not be very tolerant of certain figure shapes. However, in the cold winter when we have to wear them, how should we choose a relatively suitable long down jacket to keep warm as well as making the overall outfit look better?

Firstly, the length of the down coat is a significant factor. For taller ladies, there is no doubt that they can choose very long down coats, even ankle-length. No matter how long their down coats are, they will not look short. But for petite ladies, it is better not to choose down coats that are too long. The length that reaches the calf is already the limit for them.

A cropped but thick down coat will make people look stronger, let alone a long one. But since the weather is cold, we can not reduce the thickness of the coat, so we have to try to adjust the visual effect from the perspective of color. It is better for ladies with plump figures to choose dark-colored long down coats, especially black and gray ones. Because dark colors have a shrinking effect visually, they can make women with plump figures look slimmer.

Moreover, there are also long down coats of different shapes. Of course, the most commonly seen type is the straight shape. However, there are also some long A-shaped down coats, which get wider as they go down, almost like a down dress. For ladies with inverted angular figure shape, an A-shaped down coat is absolutely the most suitable since this kind of coat can balance their figure proportion to a large extent. As for ladies with rectangular figure shape, it is better for them to pair a straight long down jacket with a belt. So their figure curves can be clarified.

In our daily life, most long down coats we can see are in solid dark colors. Therefore, people always feel that everything around them is gray and lifeless in winter. In fact, as long as we can properly choose accessories to match with the long down coats, our whole outfit can be very stunning even in the coldest winter.

A pair of long boots are one of the best partners of a long down coat. Both of them appear usually on the coldest days, so their combination is really harmonious. A pair of high heel long boots is especially suitable for petite ladies since it makes petite ladies look taller and is able to hold up a long down coat with a large volume. Then let us talk about scarves. Wearing a scarf is a great way to add some colors to your outfit. If your long down coat is in black or white, you can pair it with a red scarf. This way, a scarf can keep you warmer while creating a sense of contrasting.

Since most down coats, whether long or short, usually come with hoods, we rarely need to consider what kind of hat to wear with a long down coat. However, if your down coat does not come with a hood, or you are not satisfied with the hood that comes with it, then you can choose a beret that you like. The color of the beret can also contrast with the color of the down coat. This will not make your outfit out of place, but will bring the sense of nifty to you. Apart from a beret, other types of hats including a bucket hat or a peaked cap should not be taken into consideration.

Now let us come to the choice of a belt. Long down coats with and without belts can be said to be evenly matched. As mentioned above, a thick down coat will cover up all the curves of your figure. So, if you do not want your waistline to disappear completely, you need a belt, and women with rectangular figure shapes especially need a belt. If you still wear the most commonly seen leather belt without any consideration, then its material and color may conflict with the down coat. On the contrary, a belt in the color similar to that of the down coat should be chosen.

As for the choice of the jewelry, you can try some bright and eye-catching one. You can choose a pair of longer earrings. But bracelets and necklaces can be ignored as they will be almost completely covered by the down coat.

Since long down coats are really large and long, it seems that no matter what bottoms or inner wears we wear, they will be completely covered. So some people believe that they do not need to think seriously about the outfits when wearing long down coats.

A long down coat + fluorescent jumpsuit
Many people try to avoid fluorescent colors when buying clothes. Indeed, in most cases, fluorescent green, yellow, orange and other overly bright colors will make people look haggard. However, it has to be admitted that the bright fluorescent colors and the cool colors of the down coats complement each other to achieve a surprising effect.

A long down coat + a fur collar + a pleated skirt
Many long down jackets come with fur collars, which look soft and cute. You do not need to spend much on a collar made from real animal fur, which also harms wildlife. An artificial fur collar can also be very stylish. On this basis, a pleated skirt will add a sense of elegance to you.

A long down coat + a longer dress
Do not refuse this outfit because that only a little bit of the dress is visible when the jacket is zipped up. On the contrary, a sense of layering has been created. You can choose a mesh dress, so that just a little bit of the hem can also make your outfit more elegant.
