Which women's coat to choose for winter? Trench coat, puffer jacket or long coat: the Turquoise guide
The Moroccan winter can be deceptive. The midday sun makes you want to head out in a light jacket, but the evening humidity or the wind from the Atlas Mountains quickly reminds you that it's cold. The ideal coat should therefore suit your daily life, not just the temperature. Trench coat, puffer jacket or long coat: here's how to choose.
How to choose a women's coat for the Moroccan winter?
Before thinking about style, ask yourself three questions.
Where do you live? In Casablanca, Rabat or Tangier, the winter is mild but damp and rainy. In Fez, Meknes or Marrakech, the nights are cool, sometimes close to freezing. In Ifrane, Azrou or the Middle Atlas, it snows. The choice of your coat will therefore depend on your city and its weather conditions.
How do you get around? If you travel by car, a shorter and thinner coat is enough. If you walk, take the tram or wait for the bus, you need a piece that protects against the wind and rain.
How many coats do you want? If you are only buying one, choose a neutral color and a mid-thigh or knee-length: it is the most versatile combination.
Women's trench coat: the mid-season classic (and how to wear it)
The women's trench coat is the ultimate transitional piece. Made of cotton or gabardine, often water-repellent, it is perfect for autumn, early spring and winter in coastal cities. The women's trench coat in Morocco is worn from October to April on the coast.
How to wear a women's trench coat
• At the office: over straight trousers and a shirt, with the belt tied in front.
• At the weekend: open, over jeans, a thin sweater and white sneakers.
• When it's colder: add a thick knit sweater underneath and a scarf.
The beige trench coat remains a must-have, but black and khaki are also easy to match.
Women's puffer jacket: warmth and lightness for cold days
The women's puffer jacket is the champion of warmth. Filled with down or synthetic padding, it remains light while retaining body heat. It's the right choice for cold cities, mountain trips or freezing mornings.
Short or long?
The short puffer jacket is practical in the car and easy to wear with jeans. The long women's puffer jacket covers down to the knees, or even the calves: ideal if you walk a lot or are sensitive to the cold.
Puffer jacket or parka?
The women's parka is longer, often hooded, with more resistant fabric. It protects better against the rain, while the women's puffer jacket protects better against dry cold. If you hesitate, check the weather in your city: for rainy days, opt for a suitable parka; for the cold, choose a sufficiently insulating puffer jacket.
Women's long coat: elegance in wool or cashmere
The women's long coat is the chic piece of winter. It can be worn at the office, for a dinner or a family party, over a dress or trousers.
• A wool coat is warm, breathable and durable. Choose a blend with at least 50% wool for good warmth.
• A cashmere coat is softer and lighter, with a very beautiful look. It requires a little more care.
For a winter coat that lasts several seasons, opt for a straight cut and sober buttons: you will not get tired of it.
Which color to choose: black, beige, brown or camel?
The color of your coat influences the possible combinations with your wardrobe.
• The black coat: the easiest to match. It goes with everything, hides stains and elongates the silhouette.
• The beige coat: bright and elegant, it softens dark outfits.
• The brown coat: very trendy this season, warm, superb with cream or denim.
• Camel: the great classic, between beige and brown, which immediately gives a polished look.
Our advice: if it's your first coat, take black or camel. For the second, dare brown or a bolder color.
How to find the right coat size?
A coat is worn over other layers. Here's how not to make a mistake:
1. Measure your chest with a sweater on, then compare with the size guide on the product page.
2. Check the shoulders: the seam should fall at the edge of the shoulder, no lower.
3. Look at the sleeve length: they should cover the wrist, arms extended.
4. Test the movement: you must be able to cross your arms without the back pulling.
If you hesitate between two sizes, consult the guide specific to each brand and take into account the clothes you will wear underneath. Avoid systematically choosing a smaller size for a trench coat.
Care: how to wash and store your coat
• Wool and cashmere: follow the care label; some pieces require dry cleaning, while others allow a delicate wash. Brush it regularly and air it out after each wear.
• Puffer jacket: follow the label instructions before any washing or drying. Some puffer jackets can be machine washed on a delicate cycle.
• Trench: follow the label; most can be machine washed cold.
• Storage: on a wide hanger, in a fabric cover, never in plastic.
