My New Short New Chinese Style Down Jacket β First Impressions! π§₯β¨
So, I picked up this short, new-style down jacket on Merchantβs Day (12.20) and spoiler alertβI also got a pink, mid-length down jacket (haha, the age-old pink temptation strikes again!). Honestly, I canβt resist pink anymoreβitβs like a magical curse! π Haven't received it yet, so I can't speak to its quality, but Iβm excited!
Today, I got my hands on this black jacket with 90% white duck down and a 260g fill weight. Itβs supposed to be super warm, but since the weatherβs been too nice lately, I havenβt had the chance to test the warmth properly. (But trust me, when I tried it on for pictures, I wasnβt cold at all! π
)
A few quick notes on styling:
No zippers, hidden buttons, or magnetic closuresβitβs just an open, robe-style down jacket.
The waist belt is a little low, sitting just above my hips. Honestly, I feel like it would look better if it was higher upβevery girl loves a good 37% leg ratio, right? π
While the jacket gives a nice, cinched waist when buttoned, it does give a slightly bulky look from behind, kind of like a βrounded backβ effect.
Overall, though, I still think it works! The style is unique, and itβs affordable, so Iβm giving it a thumbs up! π
What do you think, ladies? Is this jacket a yay or a nay?
