How to wear the 100-gram jacket and be cool

Used by everyone in the middle of the season, for many years the 100-gram down jacket was considered a life-saving garment, perfect as an "extra" layer when temperatures rise but it's not yet time to fully strip down (i.e., go out in just a t-shirt). The jacket is thin despite being quilted, designed to avoid the "egg" effect that classic winter down jackets give when worn. It keeps you warm but doesn't weigh you down, hence the term "100 grams", because it's very light: "you don't feel it when you wear it" are among the comments shared, and the ability to fold it up and make it small is a quality appreciated when travelling. Some brands, such as Uniqlo, also offer it in a suitable bag designed to carry it with you at all times.
Resurrecting the fashion of 100-gram down jackets, Katie Holmes was photographed at the beginning of the year with a model in forest green under a camel-coloured coat: casual and sophisticated combined in this very practical outfit. The fashion idea is simple and we've seen it in street style too, where a lightweight jacket has become an extra layer under a fancy coat: try it under a cropped trench too, playing with shades and hues.

The street looks, shot on the streets of Milan, show that sporty, extremely casual clothing can become cool thanks to style: with a pair of jeans and a midi coat "for a very Milanese effect", under a men's blazer with a skirt "for an aperitif with friends" or with a maxi plaid shirt "for an interpretation of the contemporary minimalist trend".
The reinvention comes at a time when fashion becomes smart, ready to respond to the needs of everyday life: in this case, it's a versatile garment that adapts not only to the occasion of use, in the office or while travelling, but that also allows you to play with the layered look (i.e. under or over a coat or heavy shirt). Choosing an ultralight down jacket is important because there are so many variations on the theme: zipped or pressed buttons, collared or collarless, long or three-quarter sleeves, plus all the shades of colour on trend for spring-summer 2024.

Uniqlo's 100-gram down jacket is the sleek version and features a harmonious neckline and center-pressed buttons to close the garment. If you're looking for a model with a sleek finish, here's the offering from Herno, another leading brand when it comes to lightweight models.

Finally, two colourful and sporty options. the first model is soft but not loose, thanks to the pleats that sculpt the silhouette, it is made of waterproof fabric with a glossy finish and finished with a ton sur ton elastic that perfectly closes the hem of the down jacket and the sleeves, turning up the hood a little. The garment also comes with a matching pouch for storage while traveling (or in the closet).
