In the women's wardrobe there is a place not only for elegant dresses and skirts, but also for comfortable, practical clothes. Not everyone likes sports style, but most of us still have a couple of things that can be attributed to this style. After all, for going out into the countryside or for outdoor activities there is nothing better than comfortable, not constraining the movements of pants or sweatshirts.
Types of materials
A sports jacket should not only provide freedom of movement, but also allow water to pass through well, absorb moisture, and sometimes protect it from the vagaries of the weather. Therefore, for the tailoring of such jackets, special materials are used that have all of the above qualities.
Knitwear
This is an elastic fabric that allows the skin to breathe, suitable only for dry weather, as it does not have a water-repellent coating.
Fleece
The main advantage of this fabric is that it perfectly retains heat, so fleece jackets can be worn even in the cold;
Raincoat fabric
Light jackets made of this material will protect from rain and wind, but will not save from frost, so they are suitable only for summer or early autumn.
Polyester
This completely waterproof material can often be found in sports jackets; but polyester warms poorly and prevents the skin from breathing, so it usually combines with other fabrics.
Models
The choice of women's sports jackets is very diverse, so every girl will definitely find a style that she will like.
- Olimpiyka - a short jacket with a zipper with elastic bands on the cuffs and on the hem; usually decorated with appliqués or stripes with national or sports symbols;
- Sweatshirt - a warm knitted jacket with a zipper or not, with a hood or a collar-collar; often decorated with large inscriptions or pictures;
- Bomber - one of the most popular styles today - a shortened, quite voluminous jacket without a hood, but with a small stand-up collar;
- Parka - an elongated loose jacket, reaching the middle of the thigh; It has a large hood (on some models it is trimmed with fur), patch pockets and many fasteners.
- Club jacket - a model that has become popular thanks to American students; it is a textile jacket without a hood with snap fasteners and patch pockets; on the chest, as a rule, there are stripes with the symbols of any educational institution.
Hooded
If you purchase a jacket for the off-season, then look at the models with a hood. The hood is not only a reliable protection against rain and wind, but also a bright detail of the image. In sports models, the hood is usually quite large and can be adjusted in size. Jackets with a hood on buttons or with a zipper are very convenient - if necessary, it can be easily fastened or returned to the place.
For cool weather, you should choose jackets with a warmed hood, and then you can completely do without a hat. The most popular models of sports jackets with a hood are windbreakers, hoodies and parks.
How to choose a jacket for the season?
Spring / Autumn
Demi-season models of sports jackets are incredibly diverse. In spring and autumn, the weather is changeable, so these jackets should, first of all, protect from rain and wind, but not be too warm. For the off-season, it is recommended to choose elongated jackets that cover the lower back.
When the sun appears only occasionally, the sky often frowns and it rains, I really want to cheer myself up with bright colors. Therefore, demi-season clothing should not be as gloomy as the weather outside. Choose jackets of bright, saturated shades - yellow, purple, green, turquoise, etc.
Summer
In the summer, a jacket is more an element of style than protection from the weather.
A light sports jacket will become a bright detail of your look. They blend well not only with jeans and leotards, but also with dresses and skirts.
Summer models sew from light, thin fabrics - knitwear, raincoat fabric, denim, etc. This is a great option for a walk on a cool evening or for a run in the early morning. Nowadays, raincoats with a hood made of the finest polyester are especially popular. They are so compact that they even fit easily into a small handbag.
Winter
For winter clothes, the main thing is the ability to keep warm and protect from the cold wind. Winter sports jackets come in two varieties:
- everyday models;
- models designed for winter sports.
The first variety includes, for example, down coats - long warm jackets with a filler of down and feather. They are warm even in the most severe frost, in addition, they are much lighter than fur coats and sheepskin coats.
Models designed for sports and outdoor activities are usually quite short, as it is assumed that they are worn in pairs with warm sweatpants. They are sewn from special materials that retain heat, absorb and remove excess moisture.
Why are Adidas jackets so popular?
Firstly, Adidas is one of the oldest manufacturers of sportswear that has established itself all over the world. Things of this brand have become a kind of cult among fans of an active lifestyle.
And finally, Adidas clothing has a superb look. Every new season there are collections of sports items created in line with the latest fashion trends. Therefore, you have the opportunity to look stylish in comfortable and practical sportswear.
Selection tips
- If you prefer a classic style, but do not want to give up comfort, take a look at the shortened jacket-jackets. They are located somewhere at the intersection of sports and classics, combining convenience and elegance.
- When choosing a sports jacket, do not just stand in the dressing room in front of the mirror. Fasten all the zippers and buttons, put on the hood and move around - bend over, sit down, raise your hands. The sports model should not constrain movements.

The seams should be smooth and strong, the fasteners should be strong, and the pockets should reliably protect the contents from moisture.
What to wear?
Modern fashion leaves girls room for imagination, as it cancels the rules for combining things that have remained unshakable for decades. Today, things from a sports wardrobe can be safely combined not only with training and everyday clothes, but also with things in a variety of styles.
In the warm season, lightweight sports jackets can be safely worn with dresses, sundresses and skirts. With this kit you can wear sneakers, sneakers, or more feminine shoes - ballet flats or sandals.

Accessories should be chosen depending on the season: in winter it can be bright, comfortable hats, scarves and mittens, and in spring and autumn - large sunglasses, original neckerchiefs, gloves, small leather backpacks, etc.
