Women's clothing on sale

Puffer jacket, parka or coat: which warm piece to choose

Three pieces compete for winter. The puffer jacket, like the Superdry Fuji and Everest or the Guess Oxana hooded version, is the warmest for its weight: ideal for dry cold, it compresses easily in a suitcase. The parka, longer and often waterproof, like the Didriksons Felia, covers the hips and withstands rain and wind better. The coat, like the Desigual Napoles, lends a more dressed look for the office and outings. To choose, consider the prevailing weather in your city and what you wear underneath: a thick jumper often requires one size up.

Mom, barrel or wide: types of jeans

The mom jeans, like the Armedangels Mairaa, sit high at the waist, widen at the hips and slightly narrow at the ankle: a retro cut that elongates the silhouette. The barrel, like the Baarly, has a rounded leg, wide at the knee and tapered at the bottom. The wide-leg jeans, like the Enijaa, fall straight and wide to the floor. Le Temps des Cerises, a brand founded in 1998 and based in Marseille, specializes in jeans that enhance the silhouette, like the Cosy Pocket. A non-stretch fabric relaxes a bit with wear: choose it fitted during fitting.

Rain jackets: membrane and sealed seams

An effective waterproof jacket relies on two elements: a membrane or coating that stops water, and sealed seams with heat-bonded tape, without which rain seeps through the stitches. Didriksons, founded in 1913 in Grundsund to protect Swedish fishermen, offers the Varja and the Jennie hooded versions, designed for the city. At Regatta, the Brianka and the Pack It, which folds into its pocket, accompany uncertain days. An adjustable hood and adjustable cuffs complete the protection. A water-repellent spray restores the fabric's effectiveness when water stops beading on the surface.

Blazer, denim jacket, gilet: mid-season pieces

For the office, the blazer Ichi Kate structures an outfit with just a simple t-shirt and chinos, like the Moss Copenhagen Henrika. Desigual, a brand founded in Barcelona in 1984 by Thomas Meyer, adds its colorful patterns to a denim jacket illustrated with Mickey or to the June jacket. The gilet Only Linda and the knitted jacket Armedangels layer easily over a blouse. The lightweight fleeces Peak Mountain and Trespass Meadows take over from a jumper at the weekend, and the fleece-cape Tom Tailor, with a lapel collar, plays the comfort card, both at home and during a walk.

Frequently asked questions

How to choose the size of women's jeans?

Check your waist measurement and your inseam, then compare them to the brand's guide, as sizes vary from cut to cut. Between two sizes, a very cotton fabric is best fitted, a stretch fabric in your usual size.

How to give volume back to a puffer jacket?

Put it in the dryer on a low setting with two clean tennis balls, which will help fluff up the insulation. Between winters, store it on a hanger rather than compressed in a cover, so the filling retains its bulk.

How to wash jeans without fading them?

Turn them inside out, fasten the buttons, and wash them in cold water or thirty degrees with a powder for dark colours. Space out washes and let them air dry: the dryer speeds up fading and can cause shrinkage.

How to wear a blazer casually?

Pair it with a white t-shirt and straight jeans, sleeves slightly rolled up. Chosen a bit loose, it can also be worn open over a thin jumper, allowing you to move from the office to an outing without changing.

How to avoid pilling on a fleece?

Wash it inside out on a delicate cycle with smooth-textured clothing instead of with towels. Avoid fabric softener and the dryer: laying flat to air dry preserves the surface of the fibers.
