All three are outerwear, open in the front and usually long-sleeved. What is the difference between jacket, jacket and coat, in this case? The length ! A blouson is a short jacket, usually at the waist or just above the hips. The jacket goes down to the bottom of the hips, at most. As for the coat, it covers the buttocks and sometimes goes down to the feet. The longer the model, the warmer it is, explaining why the coat is commonly perceived as a winter model... when the jacket is mid-season, and the jacket, the chameleon!
Shorter, it is also lighter:if the jacket has a specialty, it is to protect between two seasons. Spring and autumn, in other words, for cool mornings and temperate evenings! By deformation, it is just as easy to make the jacket a fashion piece, a real accessory of the silhouette, more than of the season. A sports jacket, in short! A damper ? The leather jacket, able to bend in extreme temperatures, depending on its thickness, treatment and lining. Since it is impossible to climb a motorcycle with a coat, the jacket had to bend to it! So much the better for us, the stuffed leather allows us to wear our best jackets in the middle of winter, with the help of thick jeans and warm waders.
Suit jacket or sports jacket, cotton or satin jacket, even leather or denim… If like the jacket, the jacket is a mid-season model, its style is more versatile. The proof, she knows how to do everything! As an overshirt over jeans or dressed up over a pencil skirt, in heavy wool in a coat version or in silk for the summer, fuzzy or structured? The variations are endless, and the border between jacket and blouson is sometimes very fine, depending on the cut. The jacket's secret? Casual elegance for any occasion. Dressy without being stuffy, it goes well with all types of trousers, from fitted denim for a weekend version, to fluid wool for a professional version. Even better, it sometimes slips under a coat!
The coat is a winter piece, no one will say otherwise. Like the jacket, however, its material can make it a warm, waterproof and insulating garment, or a light piece that is barely windproof! Its family thus includes the quilted down jacket or the rain trench coat, the woolen pea coat like the waxed parka. The occasion of the coat? The look, perhaps, but the weather, above all! Its primary function is utilitarian, it is better to choose comfort before style:quilted and lined for the cold, windproof and waterproof in case of bad weather. Even light and covering in a hot but demanding climate, with the safari jacket!
