Warm, soft and elegant: the ideal down jacket for winter 2023 is worn in a long version

Choosing the right down jacket, winter outerwear to wear every day, is a serious matter. This year's trends also promote the long model

With the leather effect crop bomber jacket launched by Bella Hadid and co. – the coolest models who set trends more on the street than on the catwalk – it seemed that the old winter down jacket had almost gone out of style. Instead, Anne Hathaway's appearance in a soft enveloping mid-leg down jacket at the Sundance Festival, designed by Versace, upsets all plans and leads us to seriously reevaluate the comfort of the long down jacket. Perfect as an alternative to a coat when the wind adds to the biting cold, especially if we travel by motorbike, the trendy down jacket for this winter 2023 is unquestionably long!

The long down jacket becomes elegant: the models by Moncler, Desigual, Pinko

Since the down jacket appears towards the end of winter as an alternative to the practical oversized coats that we continue to like so much this year, the trendy models mix sporty details and elegant allure. Who fully interprets it is Moncler , which in addition to proposing bright and eccentric colors such as silver and gold, also revises the design: with a warm sweater why not revisit the down jacket in a long gilet?

– Desigual 's proposal is voluminous, with a fabric effect and fur details: a versatile model that also includes a belt, an accessory that is back in vogue this year to enhance the silhouette, allowing us to decide whether to focus on a more light-hearted and disengaged or on a more sophisticated and lively look.

– White, fluffy, enchanting: the Pinko long down jacket mixes glamor and elegance in a model that favors comfort and dynamism but in a feminine and sophisticated design. Ideal for those who like to feel like a snow queen and are looking for a model that can also be worn as an overcoat.

How to match: from casual to elegant looks

Given this versatile soul of the long down jacket in the 2023 trends, we go beyond the idea that this garment must necessarily be worn with casual looks and therefore mainly on working days away from home, weekly aperitifs on the go or with basically sporty clothing. By choosing this model, the long down jacket can even be worn over a formal dress: the light or white nuance naturally lends itself more to this type of look. So wearing it with heels and pumps is no longer a mirage.

– A versatility that also allows us to create 2 in 1 looks, perfect for moving around the city with practicality and comfort, already elegant to be combined with that pair of pumps carried in the bag for an important business meeting. More sophisticated and practical than that!

– And of course, how can you not see it beautifully combined with a pair of moon boots for a weekend in the snow at the time of a walk with friends or to have an aperitif in the open air, making sure you are covered to every centimetre.
