Although the parka came into fashion many years ago, it is now experiencing the peak of its popularity. Even lovers of luxurious fur are abandoning a fur coat in favor of a comfortable jacket. Why is the latest “alien” from military pilots’ equipment popular and what should a women’s parka be worn with? Let's try to figure it out.
The prototype of the jacket was National clothes Eskimos. Its outer surface is made of fur, and it is worn over the malitsa. Even the name came from Nenets speech. In the language of the northern inhabitants of the park it means “skin”.
In the 50s of the last century, jackets with a similar design appeared among American pilots. Since the 70s, the park has become part of casual fashion worldwide. For a long time it was worn by English schoolchildren.
Later, the excitement died down a little, and a jacket of this type was considered a sign of poverty. But thanks to David Beckham, she triumphantly returned to fashion. The legendary football player liked parks, and he became an unwitting popularizer of them.
There are several features that will tell anyone that this is a legendary parka:
a placket with buttons or Velcro, under which a zipper is hidden;
There is a drawstring with a cord at the waist;
abundance of pockets: patch, internal;
many models are equipped with a warm lining and a hood with fur trim;
raincoat or cotton waterproof fabric.
According to the classic standard, the color of the jacket should not be bright. Military clothing is designed to camouflage them, making them invisible to the enemy. But now there are many very bright and even colorful shades for this model outerwear: red, lavender, mint, blue, lemon, turquoise.
All types of parkas are derived from the classic model of the military jacket. Over the years “spent in civilian life,” the jacket has changed almost beyond recognition. New models have appeared that no longer remind much of the army past. Now the parks are different:
Classical. The length is slightly above the knee. Hood with fur trim. Color: khaki on the outside, bright orange on the inside.
Fishtail Park. Translated from English ‘fishtail’ – fish tail. Her distinctive feature- It is longer at the back than at the front. The elongated part is divided in half like a tailcoat.
Shortened. Today, parkas have become ultra-short, barely reaching the waist.
A-line. Allows you to hide figure flaws thanks to the part extended downwards.
Depending on the season, parks may be:
winter: with a warm lining, fur trim on the hood, dense fabric, usually denim or cotton impregnated with a special compound;
spring: a jacket without insulation, most often made of silk or linen fabric;
summer: lightweight textile jacket without lining;
autumn: best material for autumn parkas - fleece; they are not as warm as winter ones, but they can protect against cool winds and rain.
Parks vary in color scheme:
classic: they are characterized by restrained tones - khaki, dark blue, olive, dark green;
colored: any options are possible here - from white to marsala.
The parka is an attribute of everyday urban style. Therefore, any clothing in the spirit of casual, smart-casual and urban is perfect for creating stylish bow.
A parka paired with jeans is considered the perfect combination. If you complement this pair with a stylish sweatshirt, yellow Timberland boots and a scarf, the look will turn out to be more than current. A khaki jacket looks good paired with classic jeans and a plaid shirt, complemented by the same “timbers.” Light rips at the knees will make the look looser and more stylish.
You can also pair a parka with skinny jeans. Great option– tight denim in white, black or smoke. For shoes for this combination, choose sneakers or ankle boots with thick heels.
Pants also go well with a parka. For fall 2018, choose a straight-fit model with a check pattern. This is the most current image from the latest fashion shows. In principle, almost any type of trouser can be combined with a parka. The only thing is that it’s better to avoid classic-cut trousers with arrows.
Tight leather trousers paired with sneakers or boots go perfectly with the parka. The result is a successful combination of glam rock and military styles.
Despite its masculine character, the parka fits perfectly into a romantic image, where there is always a place for feminine clothing. The jacket is most compatible with the following skirt models:
Pencil. Suitable for lovers of the classics. The military jacket harmonizes perfectly with the strict beauty of business style.
Pleated. Romantic types can safely wear a midi skirt with a small pleat under a light parka.
Mini. Wear short skirts under thin spring parkas. The image turns out to be youthful, perky and spontaneous.
Floor-length knitted skirt. An elegant addition to a semi-sports or semi-military upper.
The parka is so versatile that you can safely wear a light, romantic dress under it. Moreover, choose one of the most trendy prints for it: millefleur, polka dots, checkered or striped.
A knitted long t-shirt dress will add a sporty twist to your look. Especially if you add stylish sneakers to it.
Mini dresses and shirt dresses look great paired with a parka. And if you listen to the opinion of the designer of the Burberry fashion house, then you won’t find a better “ally” for a parka jacket than a sheath dress.
Even Evening Dress It will be appropriate if you complement it with elegant ankle boots, a trendy cross-body and a belt over the jacket.
You get an interesting look if you wear shorts under a thin parka. They can be denim, suede or leather. At the same time, stylists do not prohibit wearing dark nylon tights under light shorts. And the ideal pair of shoes for such a set would be ankle boots with a stable heel.
Shoes should not stand out from the style of the jacket. Its purpose is maximum comfort, because convenience is the first thing for which military clothing is valued. Depending on what clothes are worn under the parka, choose various options shoes
Rough boots with grooved soles or yellow Timberlands are ideal for a parka worn with jeans or trousers.
Warm soft felt boots will protect you from the cold and help you create a stylish look. Complete the set with uggs with knitted sweatshirts, hats and scarves with jacquard patterns and braids. And don't forget about jeans. They perfectly complement such combinations in clothing.
Ankle boots and a parka can emphasize the femininity of an outfit, especially if it includes a skirt or dress. Choose ankle boots with a stable, wide heel or wedge. Flat boots can also add a nice touch to your fall look.
On warm spring or summer evenings, you can wear light shoes under a thin windbreaker parka. Ballet flats, loafers and moccasins should be comfortable, without unnecessary decoration.
Sports comfortable shoes – best shoes under a parka for every day. Pairs with almost any outfit worn under this jacket.
It is better to exclude classic pumps, stiletto heels and sandals from the parka set. They are not suitable for a military style wardrobe.
The parka has been at the top of the most current outerwear for several seasons in a row. Therefore, fashion designers continue to tirelessly develop new variations of the fashionable jacket. This year there are several new trends for parkas:
A checkered scarf, skirt or shirt in a duet with a parka is the most relevant solution for autumn 2018.
Trendy colors. In the new season, parkas of bright colors will be fashionable: red pear, valiant poppy, misty blue, Ceylon yellow and other fashionable colors of this season according to Pantone.
Classic + bright shades . Parkas with classic, discreet colors will also remain in trend. But it is better to choose clothes in rich colors to go with them. For example, ultraviolet colored jeans.
Fur trim. Parks with an edge made of natural fur. Moreover, it is relevant even on models made of rough fabric with camouflage print.
Behind long years Throughout its life in the fashion world, the military pilots' jacket has ceased to be just a uniform. The parka has moved into the category fashionable clothes, which is now worn with expensive shoes and luxurious accessories.
As autumn approaches, we begin to turn our attention to warmer things. Let's talk about the parka. This is a fashionable and versatile wardrobe item. Parkas can now be found in luxury brands and mass markets. They are different: oversized, fitted, with stripes, like in the army, and with feminine appliqué in the form of flowers. Everyone can choose a parka to suit their taste.
Who is it suitable for every day? Anyone who lives outside the dress code: creative people, students, mothers, is also suitable for office workers with a very low degree of conservatism in clothing. And for those who live by a strict dress code, I recommend wearing a parka on weekends!
Now let's figure out what to wear it with?
A parka is an element of sportswear. It goes perfectly with jeans and trousers in sporty and casual style. But, you must admit, this combination is boring and even old-fashioned, and besides, in this form you will look like a person who is going to the dacha. To make the parka look more modern, it is better to wear it more fashionably with skirts and dresses. Skirts and dresses can be basic, not related to a specific style, or they can be in specific styles, such as lingerie, drama, bohemian, casual or sport-chic. In order for items from the linen style to be combined with a parka, they will have to be simplified. Simplifying this means doing everything so that an evening or going out item fits into the everyday story.
So, the parka will look cool:
1 With a slip dress, but then the dress combination needs to be simplified and put on a T-shirt, turtleneck, long sleeve. You can choose almost any shoe for this set: from sneakers to dramatic heels and tractor platforms.
2 With a pajama suit for the bravest. The best shoes here are mules, loafers or sneakers.
3 With culottes. Any shoes: from sports shoes to dramatic stilettos.
4 With pleated skirt. Since this skirt is the youth of our mothers, in order not to look old-fashioned, let the shoes be loafers, loafers with heels, sports shoes or rough shoes.
5 With a tutu skirt and platform brogues, sneakers or velvet ankle boots.
6 With lace skirt. Again, the skirt is simplified with a sweatshirt so as not to look like an evening option. For footwear, you can add sneakers, chunky boots for the day and dramatic stilettos for the evening.
7 With a bohemian style dress. Sports or bohemian style shoes.
8 With knitted midi dress . The choice of shoes is huge, almost any.
Winter parka definitely a trend for several seasons in a row. You can combine it perfectly various styles in clothes and not be afraid to look somehow ridiculous or wrong.
The best options for the park would be a miniskirt, blouse and over-the-knee boots. This look will definitely be quite a bold choice. If you want to create a more romantic and elegant look, you can wear long skirt, silk blouse and parka. Yes Yes. This image is also appropriate, despite the fact that they are all from different styles.
However, perhaps the most comfortable look today is jeans, a sweater and boots, and of course a parka. This image will be urban and free. You will be comfortable in this look in any situation, but you should choose jeans without glitter, embroidery or stripes. They should be simple. Focus on the sweater. You can take a chunky knit sweater. This sweater will be warm, cozy and will keep you warm. But it is better to choose boots made of leather or suede and always have a stable heel.
If it’s already warmer outside and it’s getting hot in a sweater, then you can replace it with a beautiful plaid shirt, wear leggings and ankle boots. This look will be just as classic and free. It will not restrict your movement and will help you always be in trend.
The parka will go well with skinny trousers. They will look good for everyday look and meeting friends. You can choose dark plain trousers and combine them with a pullover.
The combination of a parka and a dress seems strange, but in fact it all looks feminine and cute. You can safely experiment with the image to achieve successful combinations. IN winter time knitted or knitted dresses. Length to the knees or slightly higher. This look goes well with a variety of things. You can safely add a hat to match the neckline of the dress. Boots or over the knee boots will help complete the look.
If your dress is in the form of an elongated tunic or sweater, then feel free to combine it with leggings. The image will be very beautiful and feminine. You can choose dark colors leggings, this would be the best option.
When we start choosing a hat for a parka, it’s worth paying attention to the fact that the parka itself is a sports or military-style jacket. The only decorations on it are pockets, a hood and fur trim. It is best to complement such a jacket with hats that suit your clothing style.
The best option for such a jacket would be a sports hat or a fur one. If you like and are not afraid to experiment with your look, then you can take a voluminous textured beret or cap. Due to the unusual style combination you will stand out.
You can combine sports-style knitted hats. They are simple, but you can create with them bright image playing on the contrast of colors. For example, for a dark jacket, choose a white or light hat, for a beige jacket, choose orange or green.
Models with pompoms and lapels look good. The color must be in harmony with the color of the jacket and in no case repeat it.
As mentioned earlier, the parka is a universal item and can be combined with everything. When choosing a scarf for your parka, pay attention first of all to whether you will be comfortable in it, what style you prefer, and the knitting. You can wear a cowl scarf or a plain scarf, with or without chunky knit. All this is selected to suit your style and image. However, as with the colors of the hat, try to harmonize with the color of the jacket. You can take a hat and scarf of the same color.
Boots can also be high. Most often, high boots can be found in combination with a dress or skirt.
It is best to use colors that are pleasing to the eye and avoid very bright ones, such as rich blue or turquoise. It is better if the scarf is in nude or pastel shades, then the image will turn out to be very delicate. However, no one canceled dark scarves; with them, the images also look quite beautiful and interesting.
For such a jacket it would be a good option classic bag, a backpack made of any fabric from leather to textiles or a bag or briefcase on long strap, however, the bag should match both your outfit and your shoes.
The parka is universal clothing and that is why it can be combined with any shoes. The combination of a parka and boots is universal. IN cold weather There is no way without this. Despite completely different style boots and parka go well together. They add femininity and romance to the look, and also keep your feet warm.

For extra piquancy, you can add socks to the set - slightly peeking out from behind the tops, they will add femininity or mischief to the image, depending on the color.
For a casual look with jeans or skinny trousers, we give preference to low boots with stable heels. They can be deep, rich shades - blue, brick or wood colors. Or you can take brutal black ones with metal rivets.
Using unusual color combinations, as in the photo below - powdery pink, khaki and walnut, we will add sophistication and grace to the outfit. The handbag perfectly emphasizes the playfulness of the image.
The combination of a large bag, high boots and a wide parka is always a win-win. Color range in in this case we use discreet ones: choose wine, sapphire, ocher.
