The Different Types Of Jackets
Jackets are essential in the women’s wardrobe. Here’s an overview of the different shapes of jackets:
–The quilted jacket
You couldn’t have missed it. For several seasons, the quilted jacket has been very trendy! More sophisticated and lighter than a puffer jacket and more relaxed than a blazer, it is the ideal piece for fall and cooler temperatures. It is characterized by its typical weaving of mattresses and blankets and its sportswear spirit. A must-have for the Fall-Winter 2023 season.
–The sleeveless jacket
It’s THE trend of the season, the one we see everywhere. Sleeveless jackets can be worn in different ways and are therefore very versatile: layered over a shirt, sweatshirt, sweater or light dress to create a unique look based on your personal style. In French terry, quilted, tartan, checked or faux fur material, it brings modernity to your looks!
–The bomber
It’s the most “sporty” jacket in your wardrobe and it’s back in the spotlight this season. The bomber jacket is characterized by a puffed shape, tightened at the wrists and waist with elastics. It closes with a zip or snap buttons, like the “teddies” of American universities.
–The tweed jacket
A tweed jacket can also be a great option to add a vintage touch to your outfit. It can be recognized by its textured fabric and its round buttons, generally gold, and the numerous pockets it has.
–The puffer jacket
In a short or extra-long version, the puffer jacket promises you looks that are as comfortable as they are stylish.
