Fashionable Jackets for Women: Versatile and Essential
Jackets are indispensable in women's fashion. They protect against wind and rain, keep you warm in the colder months or on cooler summer days. Additionally, they enhance a woman’s style, available in countless designs. In addition to trendy models made from the latest fabrics and cuts, you will also find a wide selection of classics at BRAX. Every woman can find at least one women's jacket in the BRAX online shop that perfectly fits her lifestyle and every season.
Women’s Jackets from BRAX: The Explanation
A jacket is an outer garment that covers the upper body and arms and is usually open at the front. The front can typically be closed with a zipper or buttons, keeping the upper body warm from the neck to the waist or hips. Jackets are almost always worn over other garments that also cover the upper body, including the arms.
Coat or Jacket
A coat is a long jacket that covers at least the hips and often a large part of the legs. Some coats even extend to the feet. Paired with a cozy sweater and thermal jeans from BRAX, a coat is perfect for cold days. Alternatively, a warm down jacket can be worn in winter to keep you warm. In contrast to a coat, a jacket is shorter. Jackets come in two collar styles: either with a hood or a stand-up collar. A short jacket for women often has a tailored fit that accentuates the female figure. When a jacket is fastened with buttons, the button placket is usually on the left side, from the wearer's perspective. However, the line between jackets and coats is not strictly defined, unlike jackets and vests: while the materials and cuts may be similar, vests never have sleeves.
Cuts, Materials, and Styling Options
Even though tailored cuts and a button placket on the left side are common features of many women's jackets, each can have a unique look. Various materials for spring, summer, fall, or winter and different cuts make jackets true all-rounders, often found in various styles in a woman’s wardrobe. Among the most well-known models for women are the anorak, parka, blazer, and blouson, as well as down jackets and leather jackets. The trench coat, in its shorter form, also falls into the jacket category – with more length, it becomes a coat.
When choosing jackets for women, the combination of cut and material is crucial. The cut determines the occasions a jacket is suited for, while the fabric affects its wearability in different seasons. Casual cuts and lightweight, breathable materials are typical for casual jackets, often featuring practical details like hoods and zippered pockets. These are perfect for spring and summer. Leather jackets with a feminine, tailored cut are elegant and ideal for the office. At the same time, leather jackets are thick enough to keep you warm during the transitional seasons of spring and fall. A trend for these seasons is stylish quilted jackets, such as the Zero Down models from BRAX. They are sporty yet elegant. Rain jackets are also great for transitional weather, ensuring you stay dry wherever you go.
Winter jackets are designed for warmth, keeping you cozy even on the coldest winter days.
A summer must-have is the denim jacket. It can be casually worn over a T-shirt with light pants and sneakers, looking great in any situation. Combining a denim jacket with a dress is also recommended in summer to complete your outfit.
Jackets are easy to style and pair with any type of pants. Under a lightweight jacket in summer, a T-shirt, a light blouse, or a thin cardigan works well. In winter, however, a sweater or cozy cardigan should be worn under an outer coat. For transitional weather, a parka is also a great option. A parka is an anorak that usually has a hood and often buttons up.
To perfect the outfit around your ideal jacket, BRAX also offers accessories that complement your look. Enhance your style with a scarf or shawl and a fashionable belt.
Proper Care for Women's Jackets
Since jackets are generally not worn directly on the skin, they do not need to be washed as frequently as other garments. However, if cleaning is necessary, the small label sewn into the jacket with care instructions provides important guidance on the correct procedure.
It will inform you whether the jacket should be machine-washed or taken to a professional cleaner. Generally, jackets made of cotton may shrink or fade in the washing machine. Therefore, pay special attention to the recommended washing temperature indicated on the label. Down jackets need to be fluffed up after washing to ensure the down is evenly distributed in the lining. This is effectively done by placing them with clean tennis balls in a dryer. Special care is needed for leather, which should be cleaned gently by hand using a brush and specific cleaning products that also condition the leather.
