Parkas are big this year and I’ve fallen head over heels for these ones from gap, this one from h&m (seen above), and this lovely number by madewell. They have a utilitarian look to them but aren’t confined to the genre. They really can be paired with almost anything!
Puffers are a little more practical if you are going for warmth, but they are also stylish enough that you aren’t sacrificing in the looks department. I’m partial to this because of my long grey puffy coat that I bought last year. It keeps me feeling warm and looking hot. Sometimes puffer coats can look big or bulky, which is why I like the longer ones.
So what will it be? Puffer or Parka?
