Jackets and coats for women

How to choose a women's jacket or coat?

The choice mainly depends on the intended use: a lightweight zip-up jacket is suitable for physical activities and commutes, while a more enveloping coat is worn more regularly, outside of sports. The material also plays an important role: fleece provides warmth for cool days, while cotton or sweatshirt fabric is better for mid-seasons.

The fit should also be considered before buying: some models are fitted to follow movements, while others are looser for relaxation. Hoods or full-length zippers make it easier to adjust according to the temperature.

Jacket or coat: what's the difference for sports and lifestyle use?

The difference mainly lies in the fit and material rather than a strict boundary between the two terms. A jacket usually refers to a technical or lightweight piece, made of fleece, zip-up or hooded, designed for active use or to layer over another item. A coat is generally more structured, with a shorter cut and denser material, suitable for everyday use outside of any sports activities.

In both cases, the catalogue mixes sport-style pieces with more casual items, allowing for an outfit to be created depending on the occasion: training, outings, or everyday use.

Nike, adidas: what women's jackets and coats are available?

The two brands featured on this page offer different approaches to women's jackets and coats. Nike focuses on hooded jackets made of technical fleece, practical for commuting or complementing an everyday sports outfit. Adidas offers urban-style coats with recognizable branded finishes, suited for a lifestyle use.

These models are found alongside other references available on the page, with varied materials and cuts depending on the current season.

Polos, sweats, coats: other women's clothing in the catalogue

The women's catalogue includes several pages devoted to other items in the wardrobe, to be checked separately based on the desired outfit:

• The polo shirts and t-shirts, for tops worn alone or under a jacket.
• The sweatshirts, a more flexible alternative for mild days.
• The coats and padded jackets, for the coldest periods of the year.
• The jogging bottoms, to pair with a jacket or coat for a complete outfit.
• The shorts, for lighter outfits.
• The page dress, for a more dressed-up use.

All of these pages are part of the women's clothing category, which includes all the lifestyle wardrobe available on the site.

When to find the best deals on women's jackets and coats?

Women's jackets and coats are among the items closely monitored during the site's peak commercial periods. The Black Friday usually marks the first major event of the season, followed by the end-of-year holidays, a time when warm models like fleece jackets are particularly sought after. This is followed by the winter sales, and then the French Days in spring, which often accompany the arrival of lighter pieces.

To keep track of these events without waiting for a specific date, several pages are useful to check regularly: the lifestyle Black Friday page, the lifestyle sales, the lifestyle clearance, the lifestyle deals and the lifestyle new arrivals, updated as new items arrive.

Frequently asked questions

What size to choose for a women's jacket or coat?

The size depends on the model's fit and how the jacket should be worn, either alone or over another layer. Fleece or sweatshirt models often fit closer to the body than more structured coats. If in doubt between two sizes, it’s best to check the size guide specific to each product before purchasing.

Can a sports jacket be worn with casual attire?

Yes, most of the jackets on this page are designed to be worn both during sports activities and on a daily basis. A hooded fleece jacket pairs easily with jeans or joggers, depending on the style you want.

What's the difference between a fleece jacket and a technical zip-up jacket?

The fleece jacket prioritises warmth thanks to its thicker, fluffier material, suitable for cold days. The technical zip-up jacket focuses more on lightweight and breathability, making it more practical during physical exertion or active commuting.

How to care for a technical jacket or coat?

A wash at low temperature and air drying are generally enough to preserve the material and finishes. It’s best to avoid tumble drying fleece pieces or those with zips, which can get damaged from heat.

Are Nike and adidas jackets and coats unisex?

The models presented on this page are chosen with a cut designed for the female silhouette, although some technical pieces like fleece jackets can also be worn in a more relaxed and mixed way depending on individual preference.
