“We are going for the sleeping bag kind of look”

I have receive The North Face newsletter and one of the products that really caught my eye was this, what I call the “duvet skirt”. This is the ultimate skirt if you really don’t feel like leaving your cosy bed on a cold winter day.

I like the photoshoot, the red, black and silver juxtaposing really highlights the skirt.

Yet, personally don’t like the skirt. It looks really warm and practical, since it has several pockets but ultimately it looks like the person is wrapped on a sleeping bag.  

I did a bit more of research and I found out Maison Margiela did a collab with The North Face and this “puffer style” was a constant throughout the collection. Here is their scarf:

Obviously this scarf/skirt reminded me of Moncler puffer runway outfits that looked like The Handmaid’s Tale 😀

I like to be warm, but this is way OTT even for me.

Let’s be realistic, this “puffer style” is warm and confortable, yet only suits a minority of the population, it only suits thin people. Anyone else will look as they are wrapped in a sleeping bag.

I give them 10 points for trying to inovate, but it is a no for me, thanks.
