Down and Out: 4 Bulk-Free Down Coats for Any Dapper Dude

Cold weather can lend to some less-than flattering fashion. Case and point: the down coat. Often found in bulky form, the warmth of the classic coat can be overshadowed by its chunky appearance.

Hoping to sport the style sans bulk? We’re giving you four bulk-free down coats to help you take on the weather’s worst.

Parka

Instead of falling victim to the chunky, clunky parkas of winter’s past, try the style in its sleeker silhouette. Rather than falling for the large and voluminous, shop for a parka with a waist-cinching belt. Not only will the strappy addition give you a more slender shape, a belted parka  will help you lock out any cold air that creeps into your coat.

Bomber

Explode onto the winter coat scene with a bad boy bomber stuffed with down. The cropped, lightweight jacket will give you a bulk-free approach to the traditional down coat, with all the cool of a classic bomber . Wear it with waxed denim and a heavy knit for old school cool that will keep you cozy in the cold.

Double Breasted Waistcoat

For all of your winter formal occasions, look dapper and collected in a double breasted waistcoat. The cluster of buttons and neat lapels will bring a polished touch to your winter outerwear, without forgoing warmth. Style the coat with a rich, cashmere scarf and leather gloves for a full-on preppy look.

Add a bulk-free down coat to your collection for outerwear that will keep you looking cool, calm and collected.

Be bulk-free and stylish in these down coats.
