This Winter Jacket Will Keep You Warm For Life

For a versatile outer layer that can be dressed up or dressed down, a smart Duster Jacket packs a lot of understated style into one highly wearable garment. yd. presents the Duster Jacket in a mixture of patterns & colours, giving you maximum versatility in your wardrobe.

 

WHY CHOOSE A DUSTER JACKET?

 

In one sentence: they go with everything. It’s all to do with the length. Dusters hit that perfect point between casual and semi-formal and are flexible enough that you’ll never feel over or under-dressed.

 

Often it’s hard to find that ‘third piece’ to an outfit. How often have you been almost ready to go and then found yourself staring into the closet trying to choose between a jumper and a suit jacket? It’s not always an obvious choice.

 

Having a duster jacket means you can reach for it without a second thought. It will save you time, frustration, and what’s more, you’ll always walk out of the house looking put together.

 

WHO SHOULD WEAR A DUSTER JACKET & WHY?

 

No matter what build you have, a duster is a great wardrobe staple. If you’ve got an athletic build, it is a natural match for your streamlined look. If you’re carrying a little extra around the middle, a duster helpfully skims over this area, streamlining your body from shoulder to mid-thigh.

 

If your style is generally casual, a duster will help you sneak into that next level. No more feeling under-dressed when an invitation or venue sits in that awkward ‘neat casual' level that leaves too many options open. If you tend towards office attire, but want something that will take you from the boardroom to the dining room, or tone down your look for the commute, a duster will look polished without being overly formal.

 

HOW MUCH WEAR WILL A GET OUT OF IT?

 

A lot. Probably more than any other piece of outerwear you’ve ever owned. We’ve already covered how versatile they are, suiting almost any outfit and occasion. The other consideration is the warmth they offer. A true three-season piece, you’ll find yourself reaching for it from autumn, right through winter and into spring.

 

When the weather starts cooling off in autumn or hasn’t quite warmed up in spring, slipping on an unbuttoned duster gives your lighter-weight clothes a new lease of life. This is especially true when the days are still warm but the nights are chilly and you have evening plans.

 

In winter, a buttoned duster warms you from neck to mid-thigh. This adds a significant amount of additional protection from wind and rain, making them a much more comfortable choice than a short jacket or jumper. With the addition of winter accessories, a duster can weather anything winter can throw at you.

 

WHAT COLOUR DUSTER SHOULD I CHOOSE?

 

Before purchasing a duster, take a look at your wardrobe and identify what you already have to work with. A duster is a great way to work with your natural inclinations about colour.

 

If you’re someone who isn’t afraid of a colourful shirt, choosing a classy, classic coloured duster in either black or dark blue, will help balance your look. Alternatively, if your taste is more traditional, the biscuit tone or houndstooth pattern will bring a modern edge without being loud.

 

 

WHAT SHOULD YOU STYLE IT WITH?

 

The possibilities are endless, but here are a few ideas to get the ball rolling:

 

BRING ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

By layering a patterned shirt under a duster, you can be playful and express your individuality without going too far. If you want to keep the colour scheme more traditional, a lighter coloured duster over a white linen shirt can really elevate your look.

 

DRESS UP JEANS & CHINOS

Slipping on a duster over a nice pair of jeans or chinos can transform a casual look into something completely different. The long line of the duster brings confidence and a hint of formality to any combination, helping you get more wear out of your most comfortable wardrobe choices.

 

LAYERING FOR A LIFETIME OF WARMTH

A duster sits well over a shirt but looks just as smart with a jumper or cardigan underneath. Along with other winter accessories such as scarves and a pair of modern boots, you can throw together a polished look that will keep you comfortable in even the most bitter weather.
