Styling with Nylon and Polyester Designer Jackets

Staying warm during wintertime involves wearing layers of winter clothes to keep you warm. But, it is very important to select the correct fabric in order to protect you from the cold. Majority of females wear winter jackets made from nylon and polyester. Let’s have a look into these 2 fabrics and also some jackets made from them:

 

 Nylon – Lightweight Yet Durable

This material is utilised to make waterproof and windproof jackets. Nylon binds well and hence doesn’t damage too easily. Nylon coats remain unaffected by any type of spoilage even in rough winter climate. Its flexibility and durability provide protection from water and wind.

Some nylon jackets made by premium designer labels include:
  • A black padded jacket from Balmain, made completely from nylon. With popper fastening at the front, this long sleeves coat has a belt, stand-up collar and attractive tassel detailing. 

  •  Long nylon jackets from Galliano with stylish prints offered in grey and green. 

  • If you are looking for bright colours, check out the red hot nylon jacket designed by Roccobarocco. This full sleeves coat has a hood and fashionable red fur around the neck. 

  • Women may also like grey nylon jackets of the same brand that are offered in 2 versions, long and short respectively. These grey coats have front zip closure along with 2 front pockets.

Polyester – Dries Quickly & Resistant to Abrasion, Mildew

An important feature of polyester is its hydrophobic property, which means that it dries up instantly and is advantageous during wintertime, especially for sports like windsurfing, skiing, climbing, etc. Hollow fibres, which constitute this fabric, aid to keep you insulated.

Several brands offer trendy polyester jackets. They comprise of:
  • Calvin Klein renowned for its women’s designer wear has a hip range of polyester coats for ladies. Wear a long-sleeve well-fitted Calvin Klein jacket to beat the cold. Choose from black or blue. 

  • Polyester coats that end at the waist from Galliano with shoulder epaulets and an upright collar. Available in glossy black and red. 

  • Light-weight smart olive-brown jacket from Dolce&Gabbana which is a blend of polyester , leather and features a fur collar.

Consider the climatic conditions of your region before you buy jackets of your preferred material. Moreover, whether it is polyester or nylon ensure that you follow the washing and storage instructions so that they last longer.
