For Her: The Moncler Wardrobe

A Moncler wardrobe for women works best when you buy by job, not by season: a lightweight jacket, a rain shell, a city puffer, a long coat and a ski jacket. Each one covers a different kind of weather, so together they carry you from September to March.

 

The lightweight Moncler jacket is the most useful of the five. The Cassiopea gabardine jacket, the Fegeo Hooded Jacket and the Maire quilted hooded jacket suit mild days in autumn and spring, and the Hermine Hooded Puffer Jacket adds a little more warmth.

 

For a sharper shape, the Down Reversible Blageon Bomber Jacket, the Stennes Bomber Jacket and the Bataillouse Jacket are the Moncler bombers to know, and the X Rick Owens quilted bomber jacket is the one that looks different from everyone else.

The best Moncler rain jacket for women is a light shell that still looks polished when the weather clears. The Liriope raincoat and the Coquelicot Hooded Windbreaker are the simplest choices, and both sit over a sweater or a blazer.

 

For rain that turns cold, the Madulains Packable Down Jacket folds away for travel and the Avocette Water-Repellent Long Puffer Coat covers you to the knee. The Fegeos logo-appliquéd hooded shell jacket, the Castelnew Detachable-Hood Shell Jacket and the Agneux Hooded Shell Jacket give you a clean city shape with a hood.

The best Moncler puffer for the city is warm enough for January and slim enough to wear to dinner. The Circaete Quilted Down Jacket and the Arum quilted down jacket are neat, collarless Moncler shapes, and the Jasione cropped down jacket sits well over high-waisted trousers.

 

The Immersif 2-in-1 Short Down Jacket is the statement piece here. It has a plush faux fur finish and detachable sleeves, so it works as a jacket on cold days and as a vest on milder ones. The Rayonnant 2-in-1 Short Down Jacket takes the same two-way idea in a spotted print.

 

For texture, the Torcol Hooded 2-in-1 Down Jacket, the Dynamique bouclé down jacket and the Menthe down jacket keep the Moncler quilting and add more character.

A long Moncler coat is the warmest option in the collection, because it covers you from the shoulders to the knee. The Flammette Hooded Long Down Jacket, the Bellevue Hooded Long Down Jacket and the Cavettaz Hooded Long Down Jacket are the dependable down coats for a cold commute.

 

The Litte Long Down Puffer Coat with Detachable Hood and the Leersie Hooded Shearling-Trimmed Long Down Jacket are the choices for the coldest cities. The Laerte Long Tech-Woven Parka, the Hiengos hooded drawstring parka and the Gaillon coat are lighter long Moncler pieces for cold, dry days.

A woman skiing in Aspen, St. Moritz or Courchevel should wear a true ski jacket, ideally from Moncler Grenoble, the performance line that launched in 2010. The Bwindi hooded GORE-TEX ski jacket and the Vouvry hooded GORE-TEX ripstop down jacket are the shell options for wind and snow.

 

For cold days on the mountain, the Hainets belted shell down ski jacket, the Tolima hooded belted stretch-shell down ski jacket and the Guyane hooded down ski jacket add insulation and a defined waist. The Lamouras Hooded Down Ski Jacket, the Arabbas Ski Jacket and the Blainville Insulated Ski Jacket complete a ski wardrobe that also looks right at the chalet.

The first Moncler a woman should buy is the lightweight jacket, because it earns the most wear across the year. Add a rain shell next, then a city puffer, and keep the long coat and the ski jacket for cold weeks and mountain trips.

 

Try each jacket over the thickest knit you plan to wear underneath and check that you can raise your arms comfortably. A Moncler should feel light, snug and warm.
