Coats, peacoats and shearling: the perfect combination for a warm winter
Autumnal allure opens the doors to low temperatures: which jacket to choose for this winter?
If warm fabrics, from wool to cashmere, have emerged from your wardrobe change, now is the time for winter coats.
But what are the trends this winter? How to find the perfect match?
Here are all the essentials for next season, adapted to the tastes and sartorial lines of two iconic brands, Saint-Laurent, Max Mara, Valentino and more.
Saint-Laurent: shearling and peacoat bomber jacket
The elegance of Saint-Laurent's tailored lines can be perceived at first glance: coats, dresses, décolleté shoes, bags or accessories.
Just think of the LouLou bag and the unmistakable Opyum sandals , the flagship products of the French fashion house and true style icons.
Allure that also triumphs in the army bomber jacket with removable shearling collar , with comfortable zip fastening and ribbed cuffs.
A perfect winter jacket to match not only with elegant looks, but also with more casual and sporty outfits.
What if we told you that Yves Saint-Laurent was one of the greatest creators of ready-to-wear?
The birth of the French fashion house
The truth is that Yves Saint Laurent entered the industry at just 17 years old, when he won the award in the clothing category, beating out names of the caliber of Karl Lagerfeld and Pierre Balmain.
Deeply impressed by the creative ability of the very young Saint-Laurent, Michel de Brunhoff (editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris) recommended him to the emblem of French fashion houses, Christian Dior .
The understanding between two of the biggest names on an international level was immediate: Dior himself would speak of Yves as his heir in the fashion field.
And in fact, the propensity to create sketches that exude elegance is the same, as is the taste for refinement.
After his initial role as an interior designer , Saint-Laurent's talent began to spread like wildfire in the world of ready-to-wear .
Until he took on the role of creative director of Christian Dior at the age of 21.
Saint-Laurent's creative flair becomes more and more explicit, to the point of almost touching on street chic.
This bubble-up process culminates in the famous leather jacket presented in the 1960 Beat show as a piece of haute couture.
This departure from the classic lines typical of Dior, however, does not convince the critics.
Accomplice the war in Algeria that forced him to enlist, the rift with the French fashion house becomes ever stronger.
In 1962, the Yves Saint-Laurent fashion house was born, founded with his esteemed colleague Pierre Bergé.
Saint-Laurent's first collection was a real success.
The most beautiful collection since Chanel
Opening the show was the peacoat , the first piece to be presented under the name Saint-Laurent.
The peacoat, still a strong piece of the maison's collections today, is an outerwear item with masculine lines.
Saint-Laurent, however, presented it in the women's collection, pairing it with elegant white trousers (which still inspire us today!): style met comfort for the first time.
Max Mara: Teddy Coats
With 70 years of history behind it, Max Mara is today one of the fashion houses that symbolises that (much) sought-after perfect integration between elegance and practicality.
The love for tailoring emerges from the fluid lines of all the garments, “haute de gamme” par excellence.
And who hasn't had a Max Mara coat in their wardrobe?
A classic wool and cashmere blend winter coat, with a belted waist and shawl collar.
A doublet in a blend of alpaca, wool and silk with a wide lapel and front fastening, crafted to convey timeless elegance.
In the wake of the trendy teddy jackets, here is the parka, made of knitted fabric, alpaca, virgin wool and silk, which can be tightened at the waist with an internal low-waisted elastic drawstring.
Valentino: Pink PP for her and single-breasted for him
Autumn Winter 22/23 is colored in a monochromatic Pink .
Valentino's Pink PP collection has crowned the fuchsia nuance that more than any other transmits " an experimental energy" , according to creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli.
Straight from the Valentino runway, a Diagonal Double Wool coat with hidden buttons and side bow.
Perfect for a winter that is anything but boring , animated by new, radically contemporary codes!
For those who love the maison's more classic lines, the perfect solution is the iconic wool blend coat with classic lapels and front closure.
Shearling and down jackets: winter addicted!
In a perfect 80s revival , the spotlight is on the return of the shearling trend .
Arm in arm with the teddy coat, the shearling jackets for this autumn winter see the furry details clearly visible on the outside, on the cuffs and collars.
But the real question is: what would winter be without a down jacket?
From Valentino to Givenchy to OFF White, Alauni and Palm Angels, our women's down jackets and men's down jackets will be the perfect outerwear for cold winter days!
