[Asia Economy Reporter Yujin Cho] Outdoor brand NEPA proposes ways to achieve both warmth and style by utilizing survival items that overcome the cold wave in your wardrobe.
For several years, down jackets have dominated the winter outerwear market. Among them, long padding jackets gained tremendous popularity, becoming the nation's winter look. This year, various lengths of down jackets have been released in addition to the previously popular long padding jackets. NEPA introduced down jackets, which are unbeatable for maintaining body heat, in various styles and shared classic winter styling tips using them.
NEPA's Arte Nuovo, unveiled this fall/winter season, combines trendy boucle material with down jackets. The outer surface uses eco-friendly GORE-TEX INFINIUM material and boucle fabric to enhance warmth, and a voluminous raccoon fur trim, 3cm in height, that makes the face appear smaller, enables a more sophisticated and feminine styling.
Arte Nuovo, which can create a slim silhouette with a waist belt, allows for a feminine style emphasizing a slender waist without looking bulky when worn with straight-cut clean pants or fleece-lined leggings and winter boots, maintaining warmth as well.
If you prefer long-length down jackets but usually wear more casual outfits, NEPA's Siphon Bench Down Jacket is perfect. As a bestseller in NEPA's active line, this long-length bench down jacket features a simple and popular design that looks warm at first glance, making it ideal for those who enjoy sporty and easygoing looks.
This year, NEPA also introduced the Arte Short Down, which allows lively styling with a short length, and the Siphon Mid Jacket, which slightly covers above the hips, combining the advantages of long and short padding jackets. The short down jacket completes a trendy style when matched with slim-fit bottoms like skinny pants.
The Siphon Mid GORE INFINIUM Down Jacket, released as a mid-length product for comfortable everyday wear and easy styling with various outfits, features a simple and clean design. Throwing it over jeans or trendy jogger pants that emphasize comfort and mobility allows for maintaining body heat along with trendy styling.
Even if you have a warm and insulating down jacket, on days when biting cold arrives, it is good to protect your head exposed to the cold air and your feet prone to frostbite.
Traditional winter hats and boots were often bulky and interfered with styling in daily life, but recently, they have been released in sleek and simple designs that can be easily used with any styling.
NEPA launched padded winter boots, Luca and Lia, emphasizing comfortable wear and functionality that keeps feet warm. NEPA focused on making Luca and Lia simple and classic in design and basic in color, making them easy to match with any style and comfortable to wear without worry.
Luca is lightweight and easy to wear for people of all ages. It uses a convenient slip-on type for easy on and off and non-thick padding. The upper fabric is water-repellent, allowing wear without worry of damage on snowy or rainy days. The women's padded boots Lia, released alongside Luca, feature minimal heat loss and excellent warmth with thin padding and fur.
Designed for wearing in snowy winters or places like ski resorts, the upper fabric is water-repellent, and a band is applied at the foot entry for convenience when putting on, as well as to hold the instep firmly while walking, providing comfortable wear. The design matches well not only with warm down jackets but also with coats or casual outfits, making it easy to coordinate with different daily looks.
NEPA's Duo Reversible Gosomo is a reversible winter hat that can be enjoyed in two ways?boucle fleece and woven?featuring warm-looking boucle fleece. The colors are simple but matched with two contrasting colors, allowing for cute and warm styling.
