Techniques for Getting This Year’s
Look and Warmth with Down Items

Down is back in style! So, this winter, think less about wearing down because it’s warm and think more about wearing it because it’s in vogue. And when you do, you’ll want to start by looking at UNIQLO, where you’ll find an extensive lineup of down items. Many of the designs are so sophisticated they’ll dispel the notion that down is casual.

Choose voguish brown to instantly get this year’s look

This hybrid down outer has a superbly constructed design. The central sections have added down to keep your torso nice and toasty while the sections requiring a great range of movement have moisture-absorbing, heat-generating batting. Consequently, there’s no added bloat or bulk and the item never appears too casual although it’s down. An even dressier appearance is also yours when you remove the detachable hood and opt for a collarless look. Stylish coordinates are possible with this coat because you need not to resort to thick inner layers to stay warm.

Coordinate in black and white to create a sophisticated arrangement

If you’re hesitant to wear down even though it’s cold out because you think down appears too casual for work or for a classy get-together with friends, then this seamless down coat is for you. Its sophisticated design keeps down’s casual feel out of sight. A stylish appearance is yours when you coordinate in black and white this season. Naturally, warmth is also yours because the coat extends past the hips.

Down brings warmth to even skirt looks

This coat is slightly tapered at the waist to produce a leggier appearance. Needless to say, you can rely on this coat to keep you warm on even frigid, midwinter days despite its light weight because its long length provides plenty of protection. This length also goes great with skirt styles, so a sophisticated look results even with striped tops when the long or knee-high boots in vogue are added to the mix.

Avoid letting earth tones become overly casual!

Deliberately coordinate this down coat with its faux fur and masculine design to dressy items. The perfect balance results when you pair this pleated skirt, which has been popular since summer, to casual items that aren’t on the sweet side. The striking faux fur that rings the hood draws attention to your face to foster even better-looking proportions.

Choose a bright color and bring a breezy feel to winter when wearing the short down coat to be seen in

Vividly colored down items have a decidedly youthful feel to them, so use them to your advantage. Even winter looks, which tend to be dark, gain a stunning feel when you coordinate the rest of the arrangement in chic colors. Stick to a regular, basic look for the sweater and pants underneath, and try this approach of brightening the coordinate with the outerwear layer. A warm look that’s unlike the usual is sure to result!

Modeled Items
Hybrid Down Parka
Souffle Yarn Mock Neck Sweater
(available in UNIQLO Flagship store and UNIQLO SM Megamall)
U Wide-fit Curved Pants
NOTE: Remaining items were provided by the stylist.

A casual-looking combination of a down parka and sneakers still gains a clean, respectable feel when you choose white and add a skirt to the mix. That’s all it takes to transform an arrangement of casual items into a dressy coordinate! Get this year’s look, too, by coordinating on-trend camel. Short down coats go great with both skirts and pants, so having one greatly increases styling options.
