Do you recognize this?
You stand in front of your closet in the morning.
The sun is shining, but the wind is treacherously cold.
The rain radar might predict some rain.
What are you wearing?
There is one jacket that is almost always perfect for just those kinds of days:
the softshell jacket .
And believe us — in the Netherlands that is not an unnecessary luxury.
What is the magic of a softshell jacket?
A softshell is simply the perfect jacket for our unpredictable Dutch weather. It's that light, flexible jacket that protects you from wind and rain, but doesn't make you sweat.
It moves with you, lets your skin breathe and looks great too!
Why do I have a softshell jacket hanging on the coat rack?
Honestly? This jacket is definitely a favorite to wear:
- Never be disappointed by an unexpected shower again ! Raindrops simply roll off.
- No more sweat stains when I'm rushing to get the kids to school on time. Wonderfully breathable!
- Freedom of movement to quickly run after my son without my jacket being too tight.
- It's also secretly so nice - it completes every outfit, whether I'm dressed sporty or smart.
I wear my softshell quite a lot now: while walking in the park, while shopping in the city (where you never know whether you're inside or outside), and even for drinks on a terrace.
And that print! Yes, I regularly get asked where I got this coat today.
Of course, no coat is perfect, this one also has its drawbacks.
Let's face it: in a downpour you'll really need a real raincoat.
With a softshell jacket, the seams cannot be taped because the inside is made of nice soft fleece material. We've been selling these jackets for years and customers have a lot of fun with them, even in the rain!
Please note: in freezing temperatures you may want to wear a warmer jacket.
But for 80% of our Dutch weather? Perfect ;-)
Softshell jacket: the transitional jacket for spring and autumn
It is especially difficult to make choices during transition periods.
A winter coat is too warm.
A thin spring coat is sometimes still too chilly.
A softshell jacket is the perfect middle ground.
He:
-
keeps you warm on chilly mornings
-
doesn't feel heavy in the afternoon
-
protects against unexpected showers
That's why it's no surprise that many jackets in our new collection fall into the softshell category. It's simply the jacket you reach for most often.
Which softshell jacket suits you?
My tip?
Choose:
-
a neutral color if you want to wear it every day
-
or a print or fresh shade to brighten up your outfit
A beautiful softshell jacket completes your outfit — without compromising on comfort.
And believe us: it's that coat you'll think about later
“How did I do this without it?”
Conclusion: a softshell jacket is not a luxury, but a smart choice
For the Dutch climate, a softshell jacket is actually indispensable.
Not for extreme snow.
Not for pouring rain.
But for all those days in between.
And there are many.
