In most regions of our country, the weather is very changeable even in summer. Dry and warm days are replaced by weeks of lingering rains and piercing winds, which are replaced by heat again - usually for a short time. Therefore, those who live in such a climate simply need to have several types of outerwear in their wardrobe - from very light raincoats to warm coats and jackets.

A padded jacket is a thing that can protect you from rain, wind and cold. It is more comfortable and practical than raincoats, coats and sheepskin coats, therefore it is very popular with women of all ages. In today's article we will tell you about what kind of insulated jackets are, how to choose them and what to combine with.

Materials (edit)

The choice of insulated jackets for different weather seasons is very large: they differ not only in length and style, but also in the type of fabric. From what material the jacket is made of, its ability to retain heat and protect from precipitation depends.

Leather

A genuine leather jacket looks expensive and respectable. In addition to their excellent appearance, such products are distinguished by good quality characteristics: they warm well and do not wear out for a long time. However, in order for a leather jacket to retain its original appearance for a long time, it is necessary to take good care of it.

Denim

Denim things look stylish and go well with a wide variety of clothes - these are the main advantages of denim jackets. But the fabric itself is quite thin, moreover, it gets wet easily. Therefore, even denim jackets with insulated lining are designed only for cool, dry weather.

Raincoat fabric

Raincoat fabric is a cotton material treated with a special water-repellent compound. Therefore, jackets made of this fabric are especially comfortable in inclement weather, when rain clouds are constantly falling on the sky. However, the raincoat fabric does not warm at all, therefore, a filler is always present in insulated models.

Coat fabric

Warm material based on wool and synthetic fibers is usually used for elegant coats. But those who prefer a more informal style will surely like jackets made from drape from other types of coat fabric. Such models successfully combine grace and convenience.

Polyester

Synthetic fabrics are very cheap, making them the most popular material for jackets. To make the product truly warm, the polyester upper is combined with a filler, which is usually used as a feather, down or synthetic winterizer.

Warming lining options

The lining material is a very important factor in the thermal insulation properties of a jacket. The lining should not only keep warm, but also remove excess moisture, and also be pleasant to the touch. Consider a few of the most common types of lining material:

  • fur - lining with faux fur is usually used for youth models of jackets, such as parka, hoodies or jeans;
  • wool - natural wool warms up remarkably, but is expensive and not always pleasant to the body, therefore, for use as a lining, it is mixed with various synthetic fibers;
  • calico - cotton-based fabric gives a pleasant tactile sensation and absorbs moisture well, therefore it is perfect for the role of a lining material;
  • acrylic or polyester - these durable, inexpensive materials are often chosen as a lining for warm winter down jackets; they are not suitable for lightweight models, since they are not hygroscopic at all;
  • quilted fabric - usually consists of several layers of different materials, due to which a high level of thermal insulation is achieved; Quilted jackets are usually some of the warmest.

Models and styles

Today women of fashion have the opportunity to wear not just warm, but at the same time beautiful and stylish clothes. Among the huge variety of types of insulated jackets, every girl will definitely find one in which she will look perfect. We bring to your attention the most fashionable and interesting models of warm jackets.

Parka

This is a long jacket with a wide hood, trimmed fur, drawstrings at the waist, cuffs and hem; Has large patch pockets and many fasteners.

Down jacket

One of the most popular models: the style can be absolutely any, the main thing is the presence of a warm filler, which is usually a mixture of down and feathers.

Down coat

Warm, long jacket with down, feather or padding polyester, quite long - approximately to the knee, more feminine and elegant than a regular down jacket.

Wrap jacket

This jacket is made of woolen fabric with an insulated lining and looks like a cropped coat; other elements make it look similar on the coat, for example, the characteristic collar, belt and button closures.

Sport jacket

  • This is a short jacket with a comfortable cut, designed for a long stay outdoors, outdoor activities and sports; usually sewn from a special synthetic fabric - membrane - which is characterized by a high level of thermal insulation and hygroscopicity.

Models with fur

No other material warms up and gives such pleasant sensations as natural fur. That is why, probably, every girl dreams of a fluffy fur coat. However, this pleasure is not cheap, and it is not always comfortable in a fur coat - after all, even the lightest models are inconvenient if you have to walk a lot and move actively.

A great alternative to a fur coat is an insulated jacket with fur.It is not that expensive, but much more convenient. Such jackets are usually quite short and lightweight, so they do not restrict movement at all. At the same time, the amount of fur can vary: some people like completely fur jackets, while others like models with a small fur trim on the hood or on the body.

Selection Tips

  • When buying a jacket made of genuine leather or fur, it is very easy to run into a fake, so you need to be especially careful here. High-quality fur skin will not rustle in your hands, and real fur, if crumpled, will quickly regain its shape. Genuine leather is warm to the touch, does not change color when squeezed and absorbs water.
  • Insulation is one of the most important components of a jacket. It can be natural or artificial. The first type includes down and feathers. They keep you warm, but they weigh quite a lot, require washing with special detergents and can cause allergies. The synthetic winterizer is hypoallergenic, but it is also relatively heavy, and has an unpleasant tendency to stray into lumps. Holofiber retains heat well, but almost does not allow the body to breathe. The most modern materials are isosoft and tinselite. They have excellent performance properties, but they have a significant drawback - a high price.
  • The length of the insulated jacket should be chosen depending on the situations in which you plan to wear it. V ideally, your wardrobe should have several jackets for different occasions... For example, short, lightweight models are suitable for those who spend a lot of time behind the wheel. Warm, slightly elongated jackets with a hood are suitable for outdoor trips.

What to wear with?

It is necessary to choose an accompaniment to the insulated jacket based on the characteristics of a particular model. For example, short jackets for winter sports necessarily require warm pants made of waterproof material and comfortable boots. Casual jackets will look great with jeans and trousers. Elegant jacket-coats go well with dresses, skirts and business suits.

The choice of shoes and accessories is also largely determined by the style of the jacket. Some models look good with rubber boots and sports backpacks, while others are recommended to be worn only with heeled boots, elegant bags and gloves.
