Original parkas were always designed with hoods, and frequently with warm linings, which made them even more versatile. Today’s parka is a modern take on an old favourite, ready to be pulled out of your wardrobe at any time of inclement weather. Not as chic as a trench for town but far more useful as, as a hood lover myself, I hate going out a) with a brolly b) with wet hair and c) with the ability to get wet at any moment.




So ditch the brolly and invest in a parka which will take you through to the real chill with no problems at all. They look best with jeans and slim black pants, but find a flattering black parka and you can wear it over just about anything, anywhere.Wi




The parka is your stop off between a summer raincoat and a fully padded winter coat, many can be worn all the year round. Take your pick.
