Among the many models of jackets that are in demand today, one of the favorites of fashionistas is the park. The variety of her styles, styles and colors allows any woman to easily choose a park that fits perfectly into her wardrobe.
What is it?
The park is one of the varieties of jackets that are simple and easy to use. Such practical jackets appeared in the women's wardrobe, having migrated into it from the men's, and immediately fell in love with their stylish look and versatility. They are characterized by a free straight cut, wide sleeves and the presence of a hood.
Coat fabric is often used for coarse fabric, so this jacket is a very practical thing. However, now you can see the park made of thin fabric, for example, cotton or denim. As for the length of such jackets, the most common parks are up to the middle of the hips, but there are also shorter models.
This style looks good on any figure, and to emphasize the silhouette, the park jacket provides drawstrings at the waist and hem, and sometimes on the cuffs. Also, most models have pockets and a zipper.
Models by season
Spring and autumn
Demi-season parks are in the greatest demand. They are fashionable, comfortable and stylish. They are made of durable materials that are resistant to external influences. These jackets are well protected from rain and cold winds, so they are worn until late autumn, and then put on in early spring, as soon as the snow melts.
To lighten the mood in wet autumn weather, demi-season parks often have bright colors.
Summer
These parks include lightweight models that are made of lightweight fabrics, such as jeans or cotton. In such jackets, the lining is represented by a thin fabric or there is no lining at all. Some summer models sew without sleeves. There are also parks for the summer season with shortened sleeves or with sleeves that can be rolled up and fastened slightly below the elbows. Cotton parks are often decorated with ornaments or patterns, and on jeans models you can see different stripes.
Warm winter
Winter parka will be a great alternative to a down jacket, because such a jacket is more practical in use and maintenance. Such parkas are distinguished by the presence of a dense lining and a fur trim on the collar and sleeves. Often, natural fur, such as silver fox or chinchilla, is also used as a lining. In many models, the lining can be unfastened.
Styles
Sports
Most often, the park represents a sporty style. Such jackets have a straight cut and a minimum of finishes, but at the same time a rather extensive color scheme. The length of the sports park can be up to the knees, and much higher.
Military
Parks in this style are distinguished by khaki or camouflage pattern, straight cut, as well as many pockets (including inside). The length of the military jackets of this type often reaches the middle of the thigh, but there are also shortened models. They attract with their discreetness and practicality.
Classical
Glamorous
Parks in this style are both practical, comfortable and beautiful. Such models are often trimmed with natural fur and various decorative elements. There are also products made of brilliant material imitating silver or gold.
Decor
Most jackets of this type are represented by simple models without any decoration, but recently there are often products in which decoration is used decor. The most common addition to a parka jacket is fur trim. Much less often use applications, embroidery, rhinestones or other decor.
With fur
Most often, fur trim is present on the hood of the parka, but in some models the sleeves and hem are additionally sheathed with fur. There are parks in which the fur comes down from the hood along the zipper to the hem of the jacket.
Fur in parks can be both natural and artificial. The length of the fur rim in different models will be different, and the shade is often represented by a brown scale, although parks with white or black fur and models with faux fur of bright colors, for example, pink, yellow or blue, are very common.
With stones
Lovers of glamor and luxurious style can please themselves with a park with a brilliant and eye-catching finish. For the decor of such products, rhinestones are used, which are most often located in the front of the park slightly above the chest. Rhinestones can also be present on the pockets of the jacket or on the collar. They shimmer brightly on the plain fabric of the park, highlighting its owner.
With leather sleeves
With applique
Patches and appliqués can often be found in jeans parks.They are usually located on the back, but can also adorn the sleeves (usually one sleeve). Sometimes the applique is present on the chest, as well as on the pockets of the jacket.
With shuttlecocks
Ruffles and shuttlecocks are used in the decoration of jackets, representing a glamorous style. Such elements can often be supplemented with ribbons and bows. A similar finish may be present on pockets, collars or sleeves.
Color schemes
The park looks good in any color, but all shades of gray, black, brown and white are most in demand. Products presented in pastel shades are very feminine and delicate. They are especially often chosen for light park models. Note that now beige, pink and blue are less in demand than complex whitened shades.
A park of a saturated shade, for example, dark blue or burgundy, looks elegant and restrained. Such jackets are not inferior in popularity to traditional models in brown and black.
Also, a gray park is often chosen, while its shade is very different - from neutral light tones to dark graphite. Bright sports style parks are mainly represented by red, orange, yellow and blue models.
What to wear?
The most common “companions” to the parka jacket are jeans and sweaters.
The park looks good with a skinny, and with boyfriends, and flared jeans, but the combination with jeans trimmed with embroidery, rhinestones or similar bright decor is considered not very successful.
The style of the sweater can be very different, but models with a free cut are most in demand. They look better with cotton or wool pants, dresses and skirts.
In addition to jeans, the parka is often worn with tight-fitting and skinny trousers. Also, such a jacket looks good with skirts, the length of which is selected taking into account the length of the parka. The longer the jacket, the shorter the skirt can be.
With shortened models, flared maxi skirts look good, and with a long parka you can wear a tight mini. Denim parkas are not recommended to be worn with jeans, provided that their shade matches.
Cap
Since almost all parks have a hood, a hat with such a jacket is often not worn at all. In bad weather, it is worth picking a hat to the park that will be neutral in style and style. A great option would be hats made of bright-colored knitwear, but without decoration. The warm cap looks interesting with the park, and in severe frosts such a jacket goes well with a large knit hat.
A bag
The choice of bags for a jacket park is determined by the overall style of the outfit. A casual look allows you to use both bulk bags and leather backpacks. It is undesirable to pick up a bag of patent leather to the park, as well as embossed or with a clear silhouette. The color of the bag should be discreet.
Footwear
The sporty style of the parkas is an occasion to pick up such a jacket, combined with jeans, sneakers or sneakers. Moccasins or slippers are also a good option, and oxford shoes are the best choice to create a classic look with a parka and trousers.
If the dress is complemented by a dress or a short skirt, pay attention to high boots with low speed or wedge ankle boots. Wearing coarse shoes to the park, you will create a youth image.
