Worn in the city, at the seaside or in the mountains, it adapts to all situations and many clothing styles. If the very thick models are perfect to face the winter, other lighter models will make you happy in autumn or spring. So how to wear a down jacket for men?
Ultra-versatile garment
If the down jacket is making a comeback today, it's largely due to its versatility. No matter what the situation or season, you can be sure that there is a down jacket that will fit your needs perfectly.
Worn over a plaid shirt, for example, a sleeveless down jacket will be perfect for a trendy look when fall arrives. It's also worth noting that some sleeveless down jackets are ultra-lightweight, so they can easily be worn in place of a cardigan, or replace a bomber or teddy jacket.
For the coldest periods of the year, the down jacket is also a real must-have. Indeed, a very warm model, with comfortable down, will guarantee you to remain protected from the lowest temperatures, while continuing to display a neat and elegant look.
WHAT ARE THE STYLE MISTAKES TO AVOID WITH A MAN'S DOWN JACKET?
If it is unlikely to commit a style error with a classic down jacket model, wearing the sleeveless down jacket is often more risky. Indeed, it lets the clothes you wear underneath show. So, if you're wondering how to wear your men's sleeveless down jacket stylishly, first make sure you keep to a certain harmony in the color scheme.
Whether your down jacket is worn with a long-sleeved shirt, a shirt or a sweater, you should avoid loud combinations and potential print clashes. If you wear a sleeveless down jacket in a solid color, in a sober tone, you can match it with a printed top for example. However, make sure that both garments are in the same tone, or that one of them has a more contrasting color.
If you have a patterned down jacket (camouflage style, for example), avoid pairing it with other patterned clothing. This will inevitably overpower your outfit. Instead, opt for a plain top, ideally in a beige or khaki color.

With what basy carry his jacket?
A men's down jacket is easy to wear with jeans. Raw, black, blue or grey models are always a safe bet: indeed, they are easy to match with any color of down jacket.
For a more elegant look, you can also wear your down jacket with canvas pants: a navy blue down jacket will be perfect with red chino pants for example. You want to adopt an original and colorful look? No problem, but be careful not to go overboard! If your down jacket has a rather sober color, you can wear a more colorful bottom.
WITH WHICH TOP?
If you have a men's down jacket in a neutral color, the possibilities of matching are endless. For example, a gray down jacket can be perfectly paired with a top and bottom of the same color. You can also wear it with a burgundy and navy checkered shirt, and complete your look with raw denim.
If your down jacket is in a brighter color, we recommend a shirt, sweatshirt or sweater in the same color as your pants. For example, to wear a down jacket that includes bright blue, opt for jeans and a light gray top instead.
With which shoes and accessories?
As for shoes, the easiest way to match your down jacket is to opt for sneakers or a pair of leather boots. Indeed, leather is considered a "noble" material: it will allow to attenuate the "sportwear" aspect of the down jacket, by registering it in a more urban register.
When it comes to accessories, you're spoilt for choice: you can, for example, opt for a belt - or a backpack - made from the same style of leather as your shoes.
For a 100 % sportswear look, your down jacket will go perfectly with a pair of fleece jogging bottoms, worn with a pair of trendy sneakers.
How to choose your jacket?
Before investing in a down jacket, first ask yourself what your favorite model is: do you want to buy a sleeveless down jacket or one with sleeves? Do you plan to wear it to the office or for your walks in the woods?
Sleeveless down jackets have been in vogue for a few years now, and allow you to adopt looks that are totally your own. It is particularly suitable for streetwear outfits, especially when it is a colorful model. On the other hand, this model of down jacket will be much less effective against the cold than a traditional down jacket with long sleeves. The latter will be ideal to display a casual and trendy look, while protecting you from the weather.
Which model to go in the mountains?
If you want to go to the mountains, it is advisable to opt for a long-sleeved down jacket. Indeed, this type of down jacket can easily replace a parka or a windbreaker. Although it is important to cover your upper legs to face the cold, avoid models that are too long: they could hinder your movements when you walk.
Instead, look for a water-repellent and well-padded model, so that its padding protects you sufficiently against the cold. Also, make sure your long-sleeved down jacket has pockets to protect your hands (and possibly a hood).
For a simple but comfortable look, you can opt for a black long-sleeved down jacket, which you can wear over gray jogging pants and a pair of hiking boots.
Which model to go to town?
For a city look, you can invest in a slimmer model (with or without sleeves), which will subtly highlight your body. This type of model can be worn over a sweater or a sweatshirt, and will offer you a very elegant look. To go to work, opt for a darker color: worn over a navy printed top and with olive colored chino pants, a navy blue quilted down jacket will guarantee you a basic but effective outfit!
