In most regions of our country, the weather is very changeable, even in summer. Dry and warm days are replaced by whole weeks of prolonged rains and piercing winds, which again give way to heat, usually not for long. Therefore, those who live in a similar climate just need to have in their wardrobe several types of outerwear - from very light raincoats to warm coats and jackets.

Insulated jacket is a thing that can protect from rain, wind and cold. It is more comfortable and practical than raincoats, coats and sheepskin coats, so 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 with what to combine.

Materials

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. The ability to retain heat and protect against precipitation depends on the material from which the jacket is sewn.

Leather

Genuine leather jacket looks expensive and respectable. In addition to the beautiful appearance, such products have 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 care of it carefully.

Denim

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

Raincoat

A raincoat is a cotton material treated with a special water-repellent compound. Therefore, jackets made of this fabric are especially convenient in inclement weather, when rain storms come to the sky every now and then. However, the raincoat fabric does not warm at all, therefore there is always a filler in the warmed models.

Coat fabric

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

Polyester

Synthetic fabrics are very cheap, so they are the most popular material for the production of jackets. In order to make the product truly warm, the polyester top is combined with a filler, which typically uses feather, lint or synthetic winterizer.

Insulating lining options

The lining material is a very important factor influencing the heat insulating properties of the jacket. The lining should not only retain heat, but also remove excess moisture, as well as to be pleasant to the touch. Consider the most common types of lining material:

  • fur - lining on faux fur is usually used for youth models of jackets, such as park, hoodie or jeans;
  • wool - natural wool is remarkably warm, but it 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 sensations and absorbs moisture well, so it is great for the role of 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, thereby achieving a high level of thermal insulation; Quilted lining jackets are usually one of the warmest.

Models and styles

Today, fashionistas 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 the 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 with fur, puffs at the waist, on the cuffs and on the hem; has large patch pockets and many zippers.

Down jacket

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

Down coat

Warm, long jacket on the down, feather or padding polyester, quite long - up to about the knee, more feminine and elegant than the usual down jacket.

Wrap jacket

This jacket is made of woolen fabric with a warm lining, the cut resembles a cropped coat; other elements, such as the characteristic collar, belt and button fasteners, make it look like a coat.

Sport jacket

  • This is a short jacket of comfortable cut, designed for a long stay on the street, outdoor activities and sports; It is usually made of special synthetic fabric - memran - which is distinguished by a high level of thermal insulation and hygroscopicity.

Models with fur

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

A great alternative to a fur coat is a warmed jacket with fur. It is not so expensive, but much more convenient. These jackets are usually quite short and light, so they do not restrict movement at all. At the same time, the amount of fur can vary: someone likes fully fur jackets, and someone has a model with a small fur trim on the hood or on the body.

Tips for choosing

  • 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. High-quality fur pelt will not rustle in the hands, and real fur, if crumpled, will quickly restore its shape. Genuine leather - 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 feather. They are excellent for warming, but they weigh quite a lot, require washing with special products and can cause allergies. The synthetic winterizer is hypoallergenic, but it is also relatively heavy, and has an unpleasant peculiarity of lumping together. Holofiber saves heat well, but almost does not allow the body to breathe. The most advanced materials are izosoft and tinslait. They have excellent performance properties, but have a significant drawback - the high price.
  • The length of the insulated jacket should be chosen, depending on the situations in which you plan to wear it. AT ideally in your wardrobe should be a few jackets for different occasions. For example, those who spend a lot of time behind the wheel, suitable short, lightweight models. For trips to the nature fit warm, slightly elongated jackets with a hood.

What to wear?

It is necessary to choose support to the warmed jacket, based on the features of a particular model.For example, short jackets for winter sports necessarily require warm pants made of waterproof material and comfortable boots. Jackets in casual style will look great with jeans and trousers. Elegant coats, coats fit 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 wear only with boots with heels, elegant bags and gloves.
