When you think of quilted vests, you indirectly think of equestrian looks, sailing events, but hardly a new fashion trend. This winter the quilted vest is making a comeback and proves that stuffiness is a thing of the past.
Outdoor clothes don't have it easy in the fashion world. With fashion trends in particular, functionality is usually a minor matter. Style and practicality are not mutually exclusive. The quilted vest is the perfect companion for transition temperatures, but has an extremely narrow reputation. But where does this prejudice come from?
Quilted vests keep our torso area warm, offer plenty of freedom of movement and usually do not make us sweat, so ideal for outdoor sports. Whether jogging, cross-country skiing, equestrian sports or sailing – the lined vest is an absolute all-rounder. This winter, however, the classic quilted vest is getting a fashionable update and has long since become an indispensable part of winter street styles. But what should you watch out for? Which styling tricks do you have to consider? We are particularly impressed by these three looks.
Sporty and casual with a quilted vest
Athleisure looks have rarely been as practical as in the times of Corona. Sporty combinations of leggings and hoodie are not only super comfortable, they are also absolutely streetworthy with cool accessories. If you add a thick down vest to the outfit, it is suitable for winter. At the latest in the monochrome athleisure look, as with fashionista Ellie Joslin, the quilted vest is shedding its dusty reputation.
Elegant – not stuffy
Quilted vests are elegant and not stuffy if they are kept in the trend colors of spring 2021. Fresh sorbet colors radiate lightness and joie de vivre – the sugar bonnet on a transitional look that longs for warmer days. A thin waist belt and a clutch add value to the outfit.
More is more
In winter 2021, oversized down jackets are a must-have. The XXL style can also convince with quilted jackets. The oversized models have a decisive advantage: Both men and women can wear the straight-cut vests. Those who love gender-neutral styles will find the oversized models just right for them.
