Types of down-based items

Down items can be divided into three main categories based on their style: outerwear, innerwear, and accessories.

While these outer-type down items are uniformly based on outdoor styles, many brands also offer beautiful designs designed for town use. In addition, since inner down can be worn inside a coat or jacket to maintain a neat silhouette without bulging, it is widely favored by businesspeople as a winter protection item for commuters that can be easily incorporated into a suit style.

Disadvantages of using down items in a coordinate

In general, the outer shells of down items are made of thin materials to reduce weight, and are more easily damaged by snagging or rubbing than items made of other materials. Even if there are no visible tears or rips, feathers can escape through the seams and get on the inner shell without being noticed, so a certain amount of caution is required when wearing down items. In terms of styling, if the balance between the volume and length of the down item is not right, it may look drab and unrefined. In the past, street and mode styling has been to wear oversized down outerwear loose to emphasize the silhouette of the upper half of the body, but for mature and beautiful styling, it is essential to choose realistic items without overdoing it.
