A parka is defined as a winter coat, usually with fur (faux or real) lining on the hood. The classic coat is a wardrobe staple, perfect for keeping warm during the winter months. 

Parkas became popular due to being used in the military as they are practical coats for protecting the wearer from harsh wind and rain. But beyond that, the coats have a great shape and a cool, streetwear look for everyday outfits. Not all fashion trends are as practical and comfortable as a parka, and that’s why it is a trend you need to embrace.

Stay Authentic to Your Personal Style

When searching for the perfect parka, it can feel a little overwhelming. There are so many styles and options, from varying lengths and colors to the number of pockets and differing silhouettes.

Ultimately, choosing the perfect parka means staying authentic to your personal style. Thankfully, the classic coats have been around for over 70 years, they have evolved into all different kinds of styles. 

Parkas are fashion classics that work well with a variety of fashion styles. Whether your personal style is preppy, classic, fashion-forward, casual, or vintage, there is a parka just waiting to be added to your wardrobe.

Preppy Style

If Blair Waldorf is your style icon, a preppy parka will incorporate well into your conservative aesthetic. For the ultimate preppy style, Ralph Lauren is the perfect designer. 

The American brand is famously known for their country club style of clothing, and the preppy look can be seen in these fashionable coats.

Classic Style

A classic style will never go out of style. Classic parkas are made from quality materials, are more formal, and can be worn for special occasions. Perhaps you need a winter coat for trekking to work in the freezing mornings, or you are looking for a more elevated style of coat to look more put together.

For those who want to stand out, a fashion-forward style will definitely have you turning heads. Many high fashion designers have released parkas that consist of unconventional trends and unique qualities.

Fashion forward styles may first be spotted on runways, but they also trickle down to more affordable brands who imitate the designer label look.

Casual Sporty Style

If you are looking for a coat to pair with sneakers for walking your dog or running errands, a more casual style will work best. Many sport apparel brands such as Nike and The North Face have mastered this kind of parka that can be thrown on with minimal effort, and yet still look in style.

Luckily, a casual style of parka isn’t just practical, but it’s on-trend too. Sporty loungewear and casual looks are increasingly popular for achieving that effortlessly cool look.

Vintage Style

If your style is more vintage, find a winter coat from another decade, or at least one that takes inspiration from fashion trends of the past. Many brands have taken inspiration from the original military-style of parkas, such as Raf & Bone. Luckily, vintage styles can be found at a charity shop, your mom’s wardrobe, or failing that, can be found on pre-loved websites such as Farfetch.
