In recent years, there has been a peak in popularity of minimalism and casual style. To whatever direction in the clothes lay the soul of a woman of fashion, everyone wants to simplify their wardrobe as much as possible, to make it practical and versatile. A lot of sports elements have penetrated into office, everyday and even evening looks. One of them can be called a hood. And if we are talking about warm outerwear, here he is obliged to be present also because of ergonomics.
Materials
First of all, you need to understand what material to give preference. Here the choice should be determined by your personal tastes and the characteristics of the climate zone in which you live. Of course, every fashionista tends to have jackets for different occasions. But we will try to choose the most practical option for all times and take into account the most fashionable trends dictated by the coming autumn-winter season.
Leather
This stuff never goes out of fashion. Of course, for the fierce Russian winter, it is hardly relevant, but for the rest of the three seasons, such a jacket will serve you well. Therefore, probably, it is leather jackets with a hood that are now so popular among women of all ages. Protectors of animals can choose for themselves a model of artificial leather - their range is as rich and varied as the line of options from natural material.
The most popular can be called the "leather" style with a hood on ties. Bombers that have recently entered the top fashion are also made of leather and hooded, which allows combining all the trend elements of the season in one thing.
The hood in such bombers is also removable, made of companion fabric (for example, suede, sheepskin). You can choose as a shortened model, and with length to mid-thigh.
You should not look here for a variety of colors: such jackets look stylish in conservative colors (black, brown, dark gray).
Knitted
Warmer options are complemented by lining, which makes them windproof and able to protect from the cold until late autumn. They are good in any color variation - here you can pick up jackets of your favorite colors that will fit well with your basic wardrobe.
Denim
Denim is good because it has a high wear resistance. Jeans looks great in any length - up to the waist, to the middle of the thigh or to the knee - choose to your taste, as well as based on the characteristics of your figure. Jeans goes well with fur, so pay attention to models with a fur collar, hood or cuffs. Knitted elements of contrasting colors are also appropriate in such jackets.
Hooded denim jackets can be summer, autumn or even winter - with a quilted warm lining.
Waterproof jackets
These jackets are developed from special materials.In addition to leather, fabrics with special water-repellent impregnation can act as them. Jackets are now most often sewn from taffeta, jordan, waterproof nylon and others.
Models
This stylish element of outerwear is of two types: folding (classic) and "shalka". The latter can be called a kind of hybrid hood and collar. When it is folded back, it resembles a scarf or a boa as if it were wrapped around the neck. When the "shawl" is worn, it comes down in smooth folds on the shoulders. It turns out such a stylish massive element.
Depending on the season
In choosing a jacket, fashion is important, but no less attention needs to be paid to its practical qualities.
For a particular season, jackets are selected different - more or less warm. In addition, it is important to take into account water-repellent qualities, impermeability, material resistance to changes in humidity and temperature. If for a light jacket, which can be thrown on a cool summer, the list of requirements is small, for other seasons it becomes impressive.
Demi-season for spring / autumn
These seasons are the rainiest seasons. Therefore, jackets for them must always be waterproof, as well as able to protect well from the wind.
At this time, you can opt for fleece jackets. Most often they are made with a length covering the hips. They, as a rule, have a tightening belt ("snake"). There are also models trimmed with fur elements (hood, collar, cuffs).
Among young people are very relevant so-called jackets "Teddy", which resemble hoodie. They differ in a wide variation of colors and materials.
Winter
The hood does minimal damage to styling, while saving the head from frost.
Winter jackets should not only be warm, waterproof and windproof, but also not branded, as sleet can easily ruin any outdoor clothing. From materials there can be both smooth and tanned leather, polyester, nubuck, short fur. Winter models on a synthetic winterizer today are presented in a wide range, so a short puff with a hood is another fashionable idea for the coming winter.
With sunglasses on Stone Island hood
Around this brand over the past couple of seasons has literally grown a whole youth subculture. Stone Island fans actively promote clothing with a recognizable logo - a chevron with an emblem (patch). Initially, such jackets and sweaters were worn exclusively by football fans, but recently the fashion for the brand has stepped beyond the limits of fan-related topics.
A special mark of distinction of such jackets can be called glasses embedded in the hood. The idea was inspired by the race drivers of the 1920s, who drove in open cars. Stone Island has been making such models since 1987.
Today it is a great option for the harsh Russian winters: in heavy snow, wearing such a hood, you will always be protected from all weather "surprises".
These jackets are unusual for our streets, but do not be afraid to look strange. They will not only protect you 100%, but will still lead the way in the top of fashionable innovations!
Tips for choosing
So, to choose “that very” jacket with a hood that will suit you exactly in all respects and will be able to be combined with any clothes of your wardrobe, ask yourself the following questions before buying:
- What season will you wear it? Material and style depend on it.
- What style can be attributed to your wardrobe? The jacket should be suitable for any version of the suit or at least for the majority (the color and style of the jacket depends on it).
- Which model will fit your body shape? This moment is important because you can not be guided when buying only fashion trends. Even an ultra-stylish thing will lose its beauty if it does not fit you in shape.
What to wear?
The versatility of hooded jackets is difficult to overestimate. With trousers or jeans, with sport skirts or knitted dresses. With sneakers and boots. However, there are still options for invalid combinations.
The jacket in the sports style can not be combined with business or evening skirts, dresses, with open shoes.
With a winter jacket with a hood, you can not wear sets of hat, scarf, gloves / mittens - it will create the feeling that you were dressed up by your mother.
If the jacket is multicolored, with it in the ensemble should be uniformed things of the color that is present in this range, or black.
