The Parka, a trendy fashion jacket for a warm winter
Winter is gradually taking its place, and you anticipate it because you are looking for a coat suitable for the season? Indeed, during this season temperatures drop and are often below 0°C, winds are a bit stronger, and bad weather is more frequent. Winter is a season when it is important to dress warmly when going outside. But which coat to choose between a down jacket and a parka?
Project X Paris, your streetwear fashion brand, invites you to discover in this article why the parka is a wise choice as winter approaches.
What is the difference between a down jacket and a parka?
What differences do you notice between men’s down jackets and parkas? Indeed, these two jackets come up very often when choosing a new coat for winter, but to make the right choice, you need to understand what sets them apart. These two coats differ with some nuances. While both aim to protect you from cold and bad weather when temperatures drop, the down jacket is often thicker than the parka. By definition, the parka is a garment worn over another to insulate body heat and provide extra protection: it is both windproof and waterproof. The down jacket has the same properties but is generally also filled with feathers.
Why choose a parka for winter?
As we have seen, the parka is an outer jacket particularly suited for winter. But why specifically choose this garment for winter? Simply because the alternatives are generally less effective than the parka. The parka is waterproof like a trench coat, warm like a down jacket, and protects against wind like a windbreaker. The parka thus combines all the advantages of winter jackets into one garment. Originally intended for the military, the parka has become a fashion item with many styles, cuts, and designs to make it truly trendy.
