Preliminary
down parka was designed exclusively to protect from severe frosts in Canada.
This outwear is very comfortable and utilitarian. Though fashion sets new trends
at a time and this practical outwear is now marketed in a range of colors and
shades. Now they vary in design, style and they are not designed for practical
purposes. They are trendy, they protect from frost and rain, and they have
water- and wind-resistance quality. And designers endeavor to create stylish
and striking models of parka. This is also ideal outwear for both young
generation and adults. Look through
winter collections of celebrated designers and you'll find any kind of anoraks
and parkas.
Classical parka
is usually designed for men. Seeking for a right type and style of parka, any male
can get embarrassed by the wide assortment of them varying in length, in fur,
in collar kind of traditional male color, while the women wear lines attract
with an assortment of models, forms and color.
The youth reaches
for the concentrated color parkas and they prefer short models. The brighter is
parka, the better. It is like an incredible flower on the killingly white snow,
and red and orange colors are winning this season. Fur trimming, top and zipper
pockets are the required accessory for the youth trend. Shawl and V-shaped collar
is not in vogue any longer unlike the previous 2007 and 2008.
The
previous season left the trend for quilted patterns styled as honeycomb, diamond,
wave, chevron and rings. These patterns make the outwear up-to-the-minute and
trendy.
Some parkas
are quilted all through and so they look like the outfit of spacemen. The
brides preparing for the winter wedding event may consider white atlas parka
with wavy pattern, with the wide hood trimmed with mink fur. Vampy outfit with upper
part from shiny patent leather, with silver-fox trimming, a wide band with a
bulky clasp, short, are available for a little bit more aggressive ladies.
Women who tend to wear in pastel shades are welcome to look at parkas with honeycomb
or ring patterns of light shades, with rhinestones.
The shorter
down-jackets and anoraks are still accepted. Though designers tried to make
longer jackets and anoraks more attractive for the youth. The elder generation is
also apt to choose less conservative models. The catchy accessories like wide waist
bands, massive clasps, rhinestones, glittering bags, chains win the popularity among
all consumers. And even conservative models look better with modern patterns.
Parka is available
in nylon, brocade, atlas, leather and cotton.
The price
for parka varies. The cheapest models are offered by Adidas, followed by Reebok
and Naf-Naf. Guess, Hugo Boss and Calvin Klein set price for their products a
bit more expensive but they give place to Versace and Trussardi whose products
are valued at the highest rate.
To the
taste and pursue, you will get any kind of parka, though the real one from
Canada is the best one. Such models are lined fully with eiderdown. The upper part
of such models is made from fabric with titanium threads and lycra making them
water- and wind-resistant.
When
choosing a parka examine at the lining. If you don't, there's a risk to acquire
a jacket with padding polyester or the ordinary quilted jacket which is more
likely to happen recently.
If a parka
is filled with down, the inner label says ‘down'; if the down is mixed with
feather - then it says ‘feather'. Any quilted jacket has the label marked
‘cotton' and it has nothing to do with parka or anorak, apart from appearance.
If the jacket is labeled as ‘wool', this is not parka either. This is only a
jacket, a modern and trendy. The padding polyester filler has the mark ‘polyester'
on the label.
Whatever
you see on the label the recent models will meet the requirements of last
trends and they differ in quality only.
