Its that time of year were the valuable real estate in our cupboards is trading in halter necks for hoodies. As my bikinis made way for winter boots, I lovingly hung up my down jacket next to a few other coats and jackets. The last few winters I have lived in my down jackets. Short of sleeping in them, there are few occasions my puffer jacket is left at home. This got me thinking, what did I do before I had my trusty down jacket? And the truth is…I either used to wear jackets which looked good but didn’t really keep me warm. Or I was warm but didn’t feel very elegant or fashionable. If you have a down jacket in your cupboard, you might be familiar with the feeling. Your down jacket is fashionable and actually keeps you warm. Here are a few other reasons I absolutely love my down jacket:
- Roll, store and go! It is so easy to take your down jacket with you, wherever you go.
- So many winter coats are bulky and heavy. The beauty of a down jacket is that it is so light and functional.
- No-nonsense approach to luxury - down jackets are as comfy as PJ’s but acceptable to wear in public. Bonus.
- If the shoe fits….Sneakers, boots or heels? With a down jacket you can wear them all!
- You can dress them up or down. Gym, work, dinner date, girls night? No problem. There is a puffy jacket for every occasion.
- You don’t have to throw fashion out the window! They can be styled beautifully, especially with the beautiful colours offered by Duck Apparel ;)
- They are not fast fashion and have been “in” for years! The worlds first down jacket was created in 1936! I think is safe to say the down jacket is here to stay.
- They insulate and regulate your heat, so you have a wider temperature range. No sudden sweats ladies 🤣
