Not one fashionable bow of the coming cool season can do without this stylish attribute. Women's windbreakers have not been deservedly neglected by the general public for a long time.
But today it's time to end it! Such a thing should be in the wardrobe of every fashionista, or rather several at once. How to choose what to wear - we will tell in our article.
pros
It was no coincidence that the lightweight women's windbreaker pushed raincoats and trench coats away, so beloved by everyone a couple of seasons ago. Today, such jackets are presented in a variety of colors, styles and fabrics.
But initially the windbreaker was exclusively a sporting attribute. Convenient and practical things are firmly and permanently becoming now trends. Just as sneakers have penetrated into all spheres of life - even office outfits - so windbreakers today are suitable for any ensemble.
And also, if you still thought that this was an attribute of an exclusively youth style, put aside stereotypes. Such lightweight jackets are good for absolutely any age!
Popular models
The key to relevance for the coming seasons lies in simplicity, ergonomics and versatility. Such models will be especially popular, and it does not matter in which style they are - classic, eclecticism or sport.
Especially in demand are models with a hood. The most requested length is to the upper thigh line.
Also interesting are models of windbreakers, the length of which reaches the middle of the thigh or slightly covers the buttocks.
And of course, this season it is not so much the style of the windbreaker that matters, but the ensemble that you will create in combination with it.
Harmonious images are always relevant, but at the moment they are most important! Be convinced of it, having looked through our selection of photos with fashionable bows of the last seasons.
Waterproof
In addition to aesthetic qualities, each windbreaker should have inherent main characteristics with which they are associated - protection from wind and rainfall. And since not only in the fall and spring, but also in the summer quite often we are overwhelmed by heavy rains, most fashionistas try to acquire exactly waterproof windbreakers.
Such jackets should be sewn from waterproof material and fastened exclusively with a zipper. The most common fabric options for such windbreakers are raincoat fabric, membrane-impregnated fabrics, nylon.
Thanks to modern technologies for the production of fabrics, such jackets not only do not allow moisture and wind inside, but also allow the body to “breathe”. This ensures maximum wearing comfort.
Reflective
In just a few years, in all the major cities of the world, the peak of fashion for street sports, running, the cycling culture has developed greatly. And, as a result, fashion designers began to actively use reflective elements in their collections.
This can be said not only about sports-oriented clothing brands. Such trending elements are found in almost any major brand engaged in the creation of everyday fashion.
Reflective film was developed almost 80 years ago. But for a long time it did not have such widespread use in clothes and shoes as it is now. Initially, she appeared exclusively on overalls and sporting goods. Then he actively penetrated the style of sneakers and sneakers.
And today, reflective elements are found on the most fashionable models of windbreakers - both sports and classic. They reflect light, “burn” in the dark and also have a waterproof effect.
Without lining
Such models are especially relevant in cases where you want to protect yourself as much as possible from excess volume in clothes. This option is not possible only in sports windbreakers - there lining is required.
But any classic and everyday lightweight jackets can easily do without lining. As a rule, these are short models of a straight or fitted cut. The clasp here is suitable both with a zipper, and with buttons or buttons. Great for cool summers and early autumn.
Membrane
Waterproof materials (membrane fabrics) work according to the following principle:
- Such a fabric is very thin, it has many microscopic holes that have a size many times smaller than the dimensions of a drop of water. So, it turns out that water cannot penetrate into this tissue.
- Membrane tissue, however, is vapor-permeable, since in a gaseous state, water decreases so much that it easily penetrates the holes of this matter.
- Most membrane tissues have one or more protective layers of a denser material. This reduces the ability of such tissues to pass steam.
Membrane tissues are good precisely because they do not let moisture in, but allow excess body heat and sweat to go outside. That is, such tissues contribute to the improvement of body thermoregulation. Therefore, a windbreaker made of such material must be present in the wardrobe of every modern woman!
Windbreaker
Quite a fashionable variety of light jackets are raincoats. They should be attributed to sports style, but they are appropriate in ensembles for every day. In addition, such windbreakers are usually unisex, so it is almost impossible to make a mistake in choosing - it is enough to determine the color and length.
They are waterproof, presented in stores in a wide range of colors.And they are made of very thin materials, which allows you to conveniently and compactly roll up the rain cover and put it in your bag - an invaluable quality for travel lovers.
Fabrics
One of the favorites among the materials for the manufacture of modern windbreakers can be called nylon. It is smooth, pleasant to the touch, durable, affordable and unpretentious in care.
Often, manufacturers, seeking to enhance the excellent characteristics of nylon, use it as part of mixed fabrics (for example, in tandem with polyester).
Cotton is another favorite of modern windbreaker manufacturers. It is good for light jackets, which, of course, will not protect against rain, but will give a feeling of warmth and comfort. In mixed versions there are also combinations of cotton and nylon - this is the ideal fabric for the current windbreaker this season!
Color schemes
For the upcoming seasons, almost nothing limits you in choosing a palette for a windbreaker. When considering the color scheme, think about whether your entire wardrobe can combine well with the attractive windbreaker. Then the color choice will be correct.
The black
A great option for adherents of a strict traditional style. Black color is relevant literally in every season of recent years. And especially this applies to outerwear. Black windbreakers - classic or sporty - will help create an elegant and stylish look.
White
This color is always refreshing. Old windbreakers are good for women of any age. They perfectly complement an office suit or casual outfit. The combination “white top, black bottom” still looks spectacular and relevant. A white hooded windbreaker will also work well with light blue jeans and white sneakers.
Red
This season, the shade of the red palette called "fiesta" is very much appreciated. Take note of this if you decide to purchase a red windbreaker. Such a thing will especially suit burning brunettes or platinum blondes.
A bright red windbreaker without a hood will perfectly complement a black evening dress or a strict office suit in black and white or navy blue.
In casual casual dresses, she will also always find a place: with jeans (black or light blue), with sports knit pants, with a non-classic skirt or even with shorts - there are an infinite number of variations in combination.
Blue
Traditional windbreakers - both sports and classic - have long been produced in a pleasant dark blue color. You can follow the established canons, or you can experiment. This season, a deep, rich, but at the same time bright blue color - cornflower blue is in fashion.
It will be especially relevant on classic windbreakers and raincoats. The trendy color “Biscay Bay” (blue-turquoise), still sensational last season, is still in trend.
Green
In this gamut, the favorite of the season is the color “green flash”. Bright, warming, introducing notes of freshness - a great option for a light jacket. You should also pay attention to the fashionable green color from the bed scale - mint.
It is suitable for romantic natures, for creating delicate images in clothes. Both colors are a great option for red-haired beauties!
Yellow
Do you like this color? Then look for a windbreaker with a trendy buttercup shade this season. Bright, juicy, it will cheer you up in bad weather! The perfect color scheme for the raincoat.
Everyday windbreakers in this gamut look no less advantageous. Such jackets are good for any age and type of appearance.
With prints
Youth fashion today actively uses original prints in clothes. Windbreakers are no exception.
Floral drawings, as well as any plant theme: oak leaves or ferns, wild tropical thickets are still relevant - all this can be found on modern light jackets.
The theme of fauna is also widely used.There are animal prints (the color of the leopard, tiger, zebra, giraffe), as well as drawings with their direct image. Prints with birds and fish are especially popular.
Very young natures can choose a cartoon print windbreaker for themselves - designers produce many variations on the theme of the famous Disney animated films. Also in the trend are famous paintings printed on clothes and any large-sized images.
A variant beyond age is ethnic motifs in the figure, as well as a small cell, stripes, geometric abstraction.
Bilateral
An interesting solution for the most fashionable practical people. Bilateral windcheaters make it possible to combine two things in one thing at once, which will allow you to equip your wardrobe with light jackets for all occasions at a lower cost.
As a rule, two-sided windbreakers are made of contrasting colors and different fabrics (on the one hand - smooth, waterproof, on the other - cotton).
There are also options for bilateral jackets, in which there is a monophonic design on the outside, and a fashionable print is located on the inside in the same color.
So, you get, as it were, two jackets in the same color scheme, but in different fashionable variations.
