STYLISH JACKETS FOR WOMEN: VERSATILE AND ESSENTIAL

Jackets are essential in women's fashion. They protect against wind and rain, provide warmth in cold months or on cooler summer days. Moreover, they enrich a woman's style, as they come in countless designs. In addition to trendy models made from the latest fabrics and cuts, we also offer a wide selection of classics. Every woman can find at least one jacket in the BRAX online shop that fits perfectly into her life and suits every season.

BRAX WOMEN'S JACKETS: THE EXPLANATION

A jacket is an outer garment that covers the upper body and arms, typically open at the front. Usually, the front can be closed with a zipper or buttons. This ensures that the jacket keeps the entire upper body warm between the neck and waist or hips. Additionally, jackets are almost always worn over other clothing items 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 reach the feet. Worn with a cozy sweater and BRAX Thermo jeans, a coat is perfect for cold days. Alternatively, you can also wear a warm down jacket in winter and stay cozy. In contrast to a coat, a jacket is characterized by a shorter length. There are two different collar styles for jackets: they either have a hood or a stand-up collar. A short jacket for women often has a waistline that emphasizes the female figure. When jackets are buttoned, the button placket is on the left side when viewed by the wearer. However, the boundary between jackets and coats is not firmly defined, unlike jackets and vests: material and cut can be identical for the latter; the difference is that vests never have sleeves.

CUTS, MATERIALS, AND COMBINATIONS

Although the waistline and left-side button placket characterize many women's jackets, one jacket can look entirely different from the next. Different materials for spring, summer, autumn, or winter, as well as various cuts, make jackets versatile pieces often found in different variations in a woman's wardrobe. Among the most well-known models for women are the anorak, parka, blazer, and blousons, as well as down jackets and leather jackets. The trench coat, in its short form, is also considered a jacket - with a bit more length, it belongs to coats. For women's jackets, the individual combination of cut and material is crucial. The cut determines on which occasions a jacket model fits particularly well, while the fabric affects its wearability in specific seasons. Casual cuts and lightweight, breathable materials are typical for leisure jackets, often featuring practical details like hoods and zippered pockets. They are perfect for spring and summer. Leather jackets with a feminine, tailored cut are elegant and perfect for the office. At the same time, leather jackets are thick enough to keep you warm through the transitional seasons of spring and autumn. A current trend suitable for these seasons is stylish quilted jackets, like the Zero Down models from BRAX. They are sporty and elegant at the same time. Especially for these transitional seasons, rain jackets are also suitable to arrive dry at your destination. Winter jackets are known for their warming properties. Our sporty winter jackets also keep you warm on freezing winter days. A must-have in summer is a denim jacket. It can be casually worn over a T-shirt and paired with lightweight pants and sneakers, looking good in any situation. Also, combining a denim jacket with a dress is recommended in summer to perfect your outfit. Jackets are easy to combine and go well with any type of pants. Under a lightweight jacket in summer, a shirt, a light blouse, or a thin cardigan fits perfectly. In winter, however, a sweater or a cozy cardigan should be worn under the outdoor coat. For the transition between seasons, a parka is also a good choice. A parka is an anorak, usually with a hood and often with buttons. To perfect the outfit around the jacket that suits you, BRAX also offers accessories that you can combine well. Enhance your look with a scarf or shawl and a stylish belt.

PROPER CARE FOR WOMEN'S JACKETS

Since jackets are usually not worn directly on the skin, they do not need to be washed as often as other outerwear. However, if it is necessary to clean the jacket, the small tag with the care instructions sewn inside provides important guidance for the correct procedure. There, you can find out, for example, whether the jacket should be put in the washing machine or taken to a dry cleaner. In general, jackets made of cotton always carry the risk of shrinking or fading when machine-washed. Therefore, particular attention should be paid to the specified washing temperature indicated on the label for cotton. The down in a down jacket needs to be fluffed up again after washing to distribute it evenly in the lining. This can be done very well by placing it in a dryer with clean tennis balls. Also, when cleaning leather, special care should be taken with water. It is best to clean leather gently by hand with a brush and special cleaning agents that also care for the leather.
