The question often arises as to how parka differs from a down jacket. In a nutshell, you can not say about this, because in their essence the products are completely different:
But there are also similarities, first of all - the variability of insulation. For both categories of products, natural and synthetic fillers are used with equal frequency, as well as linings on fur - natural or artificial.
The progenitor of the parka were the jackets of the Eskimos, which perfectly protected against the cold, but at the same time did not constrain movements. Parka's closest relative is the Alaskan jacket. The only difference between the two is the color, which for Alaska was originally exclusively orange, and for parka it was khaki.
Now about fashion – because that's what we're here for. The peak of popularity of women's couples was in 2007-2012, but are the parks relevant this season? Absolutely!
In the 2022 season, the park is not an absolute fashion trend, but it cannot be included in the list of anti-trends - world brands and fashion houses have added parks to winter collections - Tommy Hilfiger, Isabel Marant, Burberry and others.
Parque harmoniously looks in the casual wardrobe and perfectly complements the sport-style. If you need functional, comfortable, warm clothes – park is exactly what you need.
Fashion models this season:
The traditional parka is mid-thigh-length or slightly lower, like reebok's model, but medium-length parks are being replaced this season by extremely short options.
Shortened models of pairs bring a certain dissonance to the very concept of such a jacket. Due to insufficient length, brands abandon the unchanged component of the parks - backstage.
But such parks look really great, especially in combination with jeans and sneakers or boots. Parks in basic shades in the autumn-winter-spring season were presented by the affordable brand Bershka - there are three colors to choose from.
The premium segment is not far behind. Isabel Marant at the Fashion Week demonstrated two models - light and dark blue. Both are quite short - barely reaching the hip, but quite voluminous.
Only a few brands managed to preserve the traditional backdrop in the short park, among them Incity and their white parka jacket with contrasting black details. Pay attention to the fact that park without a hood - modern trendsetters began to increasingly compromise the rules and create new models of clothing, ignoring their traditional design.
The practical short parka is asymmetrical. The shortened front and elongated bottom allow you not to constrain movements at the same time and protect against the wind.
It's not the first time this season that brands and fashion houses have played on contrasts. Together with short models, long ones climb on the fashion pedestal, from the knee - as in the winter collection presented Moncler, and below.
Among the elongated models there are winter parks - with insulation inside and, as a rule, a fur hood, as well as demi-season - they are very light and often do not even have a lining. For an extended demi-season park, see Zara, Massimo Dutti or Oysho.
Fashionable women's winter parks of midi length are at Fendi - according to the classics, they sprinkled the product with monograms, and as an alternative, they offered the same style, but with a camouflage print.
There is a suitable model for the 12storeez - they have a parka down jacket, which is perfect for a cold winter.
Clothes from someone else's shoulder attacked the fashion world – jackets, down jackets, sweatshirts, and now oversize parks in the list of trends. Suitable as just voluminous, free models like a beige down jacket-parks Adidas, and real oversize.
Previously shown short parka from Isabel Marant fits perfectly into this trend - even two sweaters will fit under this one.
Among the demi-season models of pairs, oversize also took root - in H& M this season there was a voluminous version of the average length.
The popular Internet platform Asos also follows the trends - there are a lot of oversize paroks for those who are not used to overpaying for a brand logo.
Paradoxically, initially, fur on the hood of the park was a classic, but today this phenomenon is so rare that park jackets with fur stand out as a separate trend. Equally relevant will be parks with fur of natural colors, and with bright, painted. Fur for wigs is used different - natural or artificial.
If you are looking for a basic parka of a classic cut with a fur hood, take a closer look at the model from Pull & Bear.
A similar model, but Sinsay has khaki colors.
Zara also adheres to the classic cut with fur trim on the hood - there is a stylish parka of medium length in black.
A little original looks like a women's jacket from Vero Moda - instead of the usual twill or jeans, it is made of polyester.
If you need a park with natural fur - look at the catalog of Canada Goose - their outerwear is practical and very warm, so it is suitable even for cold winters.
Well, for lovers of experiments, trendsetters have prepared parks with bright fur - blue, green, red, orange. Choose which one you like best. Koton has several stylish pairs with fur of non-standard shades.
We've already figured out that parkas are clothes made of tweel or jeans on the outside. But who can forbid fashion designers from using other materials? That's right, no one. This season, the list of fashionable winter pairs, as well as demi-season models, included jackets made of unusual materials - leather, wool, cashmere, sheepskin.
Stradivarius decided to surprise and presented the park, made of sheepskin. Of course, the material was chosen artificial, so you can not count on strong warming. Nevertheless, in the autumn casual wardrobe, it will look great.
Two models of wool and cashmere are from the Italian brand Moorer. One of the models is slightly shorter, the second is of classic length.
And by the way, this fall, quilted jackets were in vogue - this trend also spread to the parks. Reserved has a stylish quilted park for cool weather.
Parks made of denim are usually khaki or sand. This winter, it is permissible to supplement the wardrobe with real jeans - denim parks of blue and dark blue color are also in fashion.
In winter, when the palette around is quite scarce, it's time to get bright outerwear. Parks of non-standard, expressive colors will help to make a stylish bow this fall and winter. Fashionable colors correspond to the general fashion palette for the season, but several leaders stood out among the producers of pairs - red, mustard and orange.
Let's start with the off-season - Tommy Hilfiger has two fashionable models at once. They are quite thin, so they are not suitable for winter, but for autumn and spring - a completely acceptable option.
Top Top has a more budget option. Of course, there is no such riot of colors here, but an excellent alternative to a shade of khaki.
A little more classic in terms of cut, the pink model is in Koton - it covers the hips and has a faux fur trim on the hood.
A light parka of a rich, almost red color is presented in the popular brand of outerwear Loro Piana.
The Spanish brand Uterque decided to shock the fashion world, which introduced a demi-season parka made of red lacquered artificial leather with a stitch and a lace of satin fabric.
It is better to insulate for the winter with proven brands - they are responsible for the quality and warmth of their things. Moreover, Canada Goose also has something to offer to lovers of bright shades. The brand offers the best women's parks, combining warmth and fashion trends.
A warm bright park with hidden backdrops is also available at Geox.
Look for a fashionable model in mustard color from Koton, and a two-tone one from Tommy Hilfiger.
Parka fits best into casual, so the most frequent guests of outfits with a stylish jacket are, of course, jeans.
Shortened jeans and sneakers look great, complemented by a demi-season park in a classic green, swamp shade.
A warmer option is a winter parka with fur lining combined with black jeans and uggs.
Parka will look great, combined with jeans and ankle boots with heels. Suitable as options on a regular square heel, and pairs in the style of country.
The most stylish casual outfit is a voluminous oversize park, loose jeans and timberland boots.
But to love parks is not to walk only in jeans. There are alternatives, for example, to combine cotton trousers-galife with a short women's parka. Shoes are variable, but it is better to pick up something with heels.
Not to the liking of the galife? It does not matter - with knitted trouser suits, the park looks no less impressive. To complement this image will help uggs or boots.
Although considered exclusively casual or even sportswear, the parka looks great with simple straight trousers or chinos. This means that it has a place even in a business wardrobe, at least informal and in a smart casual.
A little street-style in your outfit will add a tandem of long oversized parks from The North Face and a lush midi-length skirt. The same jacket is integrated into the military-style wardrobe.
Mini in combination with the parka also looks original. In winter, it is better to wear leggings or tight tights under a dress or skirt - this will help compensate for the lack of length and protect against the cold. If desired, replace the skirt with shorts - it will turn out interesting.
Not everyone can boast of a warm winter, so do not forget to pair with the park to pick up a hat. A modest beanie and a more ethnic earflap will do.
Parks remain in the wardrobe for at least another season. If your choice is casual style, be sure to take a closer look at this type of outerwear. To be in your wardrobe park or prefer a down jacket? We are waiting for your opinion in the comments!
