Long downs will get you through midwinter with elegance! Introducing the hottest outfits & items!

Down jackets are at the top of the list when it comes to casual winter outerwear, but long coat-type jackets are particularly warm because they cover up to the legs, making it easy to stay comfortable even in the coldest of winters. The unique lightness of down also makes it easier to distinguish oneself from others, as compared to a long overcoat, there is no stress even when worn for long periods of time. However, it is also true that the volume of the down coat tends to make it look dowdy. Careful consideration is needed in the selection of items and the way they are worn. In this issue, we focus on “long down jackets,” and introduce some tips on how to choose and wear them, as well as men’s coordinates that can be used as a reference!

If you want to enjoy a wide range of outfits with long down, pay attention to “down volume” and “length”!

If you want to enjoy a wide range of styling options with one long down jacket, we recommend that you pay attention to the “amount of down” and the “length. First of all, long, puffy down jackets with a lot of “down volume” tend to have a strong presence by themselves, and even if the innerwear is light, they tend to look bulky and difficult to dress up. It is recommended to choose a model that looks smart and keeps warm at the same time by using high fill power down and keeping the down volume to a minimum.

Next, ” length ” is a key point to look out for in long down jackets. The longer the length of a long down, the less the bottoms are exposed, so no matter what items are worn with it, it will not look objectively different, and the styling is likely to end up looking like a pattern. Therefore, if you want to enjoy a variety of outfits, it is important to find a long length that does not hide the bottoms too much. Down jackets that are too long tend to give the impression of being “worn,” so it is important to be aware of the outline of the coordinate from a bird’s eye view, and to remember to blend in with the styling.

Examples of men’s coordination using long down jackets

Coordinate 1: “All-black winter coordinate with long down utilizing the height of the wearer

Johannes Huebl, a German model active around the world, showed an all-black coordinate that utilizes his 188cm height and incorporates a long down. He chose long down items with reduced volume by not revealing the stitches that hold the down down in place, and he also used black to emphasize a sleek, vertical silhouette. The low-cut white sneakers that create a sophisticated look while controlling the look of heaviness and chicness are also noteworthy!

Coordinate (4): “Among long down jackets, black can be a good choice for a tightening effect!

Compared to a long overcoat, a lightweight black long down coat will give you a great tightening effect, and will hardly make you look heavy even if you wear thicker clothes inside. If you feel that you will look bulky by fastening the front tightly, open the front completely as shown in the snapshot picked up here, and the layered clothing inside will be emphasized, making it stylish in terms of looks. The black model is a good choice if you want to coordinate a long down jacket as a warm-weather outerwear.

Coordinate 5: “Use a gray camouflage patterned long down and a hoodie in a similar color to create an urban outdoor style.

Timberland’s beige suede Chelsea boots are set on the feet to refresh the impression and adjust the sense of balance with the silhouette of the long down. The camouflage pattern is moderately assertive with the light-toned print, but the impact and stylishness of the long down are perfect.

The long down with a women’s-specification front meeting and the elegant Birkin are incorporated, but the feminine vibes are not felt too much because the oversized silhouette of the long down like a pyramid and the extreme baggy silhouette of the bottoms are used in a way that strongly expresses the nuances of men’s fashion.
