Waterproof jackets: the legacy of Didriksons
Didriksons was born in 1913 in Grundsund, on Sweden’s west coast, where Julius and Hanna Didrikson coated fishermen's clothes with oil to make them waterproof. The brand remains a specialist in rainwear: the hooded Varja and Jennie jackets shield against both rain and wind without adding bulk. A truly waterproof jacket is recognized by its taped seams and a high water column, while a jacket that is simply water-repellent keeps off light rain but will eventually let water through. The Regatta Brianka, Weather Report Camelia and Helly Hansen Dubliner complete this selection, and the Trespass Qikpac folds into its own pocket.

Blazers Ichi and Kaffe: structuring an outfit
The blazer adds structure to an outfit in one move. The Kate from Ichi and the Kinnie from Kaffe come from two Danish brands with a simple Scandinavian style, featuring clean cuts that can be worn buttoned for a meeting or open for a more relaxed date. The blazer originated in the nineteenth century in British university rowing clubs, whose bright red jackets supposedly inspired its name, before making its way into women’s wardrobes the following century. It should be chosen based on shoulder width: the seam should sit right at the curve of the shoulder, and the sleeve should end at the base of the thumb.
Denim jacket, knitwear and fleece for mid-season
The denim jacket Desigual Mickey reinterprets a wardrobe staple with the graphic spirit of the Barcelona-based brand, founded in 1984. The Desigual June jacket also plays with patterns. For warmth, the knit jacket Armedangels, made of cotton and wool, and the Only Linda and Garcia cardigans can be buttoned up when the wind picks up and taken off when the sun comes back. The fleece jacket Peak Mountain Alaine, bonded, keeps you warm during autumn walks without being heavy. These lightweight jackets layer easily, allowing you to adapt to the temperature swings of a single day.
Size and care of a women's jacket
You should try on a jacket with what you'll wear underneath: a blazer over a thin top, a rain jacket over a thick knit. It should close without pulling at the buttons, allow arms to lift, and cover the wrist when the arms are stretched out. For care, a waterproof jacket can be washed at thirty degrees with a detergent without fabric softener, which would clog the membrane, and regains its water-repellent properties with a low-temperature tumble dry or a re-waterproofing product. A blazer should be dry cleaned or hand washed according to the label and hung on a padded hanger. The denim jacket should be washed inside out, in cold water, to keep its color.
Frequently asked questions
What jacket should I wear in mid-season?
A lightweight waterproof jacket or a blazer will cover most autumn and spring days. The blazer is suitable for mild mornings and the office, while the rain jacket is ideal for uncertain days, layered over a knit when the cold returns.
Can you machine wash a waterproof jacket?
Yes, in most cases: close the zips and Velcro, wash at thirty degrees with a gentle liquid detergent, without fabric softener or powder. An extra rinse removes residues that would obstruct the fabric’s breathability.
Tailored jacket and blazer: what’s the difference?
The tailored jacket is part of a set, cut from the same fabric as the bottoms that accompany it. The blazer is worn alone, mismatched, often in a solid color or a more textured fabric, making it more versatile for everyday wear.
What is the water column of a jacket?
It measures the fabric’s resistance to water pressure, in millimeters. Beyond about ten thousand millimeters, a jacket can withstand heavy rain; below five thousand, it is mainly suitable for brief showers.
Can a fleece jacket replace a coat?
Not in extreme cold or rain: fleece insulates well but lets through wind and water. It is sufficient alone in dry mid-season weather, or serves as a warm layer under a waterproof jacket in winter.
