About the history of the park's appearance
The park was once a daily wear for the Eskimos and other inhabitants of the North. It was sewn from reindeer skins, its length was up to the knee. To keep it warm and comfortable, the Eskimos soaked the jacket with fish or whale oil.
The jacket also had a spacious, wide hood that covered not only the head, but also part of the face from the wind.
The parka itself is the same jacket, simply made in a certain design: straight fit, drawstring at the waist, elastic on the cuffs and at the bottom of the jacket, hood, patch pockets.
In the middle of the last century, Eskimo clothing began to be used as part of the uniform of American pilots. The jacket changed somewhat: the style remained the same, but thick waterproof fabric was used for sewing the parka. In addition, a removable fur lining has been added.
The jacket, adapted to modern climatic conditions, immediately became popular all over the world, men, women and children of different ages began to use the park as everyday clothes.
Models
The modern model is a jacket with a length from mid-thigh to knee with a voluminous hood, drawstring at the waist and elastic on the sleeves and at the bottom of the product.Depending on the material used for sewing, the parka can be demi-season, lightweight or winter.
The winter parka is sewn from dense, warm materials, additionally supplied with a removable lining, and the hood is decorated with a fur trim. A synthetic filler or down and feathers of waterfowl is used as insulation. This jacket keeps you warm even in the coldest and windiest winter. Moreover, it is quite light, which is also important.
A spring or autumn parka differs from a winter one, first of all, in the material used. It is more subtle. It can be denim, wool, nylon, cotton, membrane, etc. Thick cotton, microfiber, fleece and other materials can be used as a lining.
Often a demi-season parka is equipped with a detachable hood that can always be unfastened if necessary.
Despite the fact that a black parka, it would seem, is a rather conservative thing, the abundance of modern decorative elements makes it possible to turn it into a real work of art.
For example, the hood can be decorated with fur trim in a bright contrasting color. Sparkling rhinestones, multicolored sequins, embroidery with shiny threads, and a beautiful applique will help to make a universal parka more feminine.

This classic color combination will always be relevant. This parka looks very elegant thanks to white inserts. It can be decorative elements or white accessories, snow-white fur edge, etc.

Selection Tips
The choice of outerwear should be approached, perhaps, even more carefully and carefully than the choice of everyday things. Firstly, because it is bought, as a rule, for several seasons, so it should remain not only warm, practical and strong, but also fashionable. Secondly, outerwear should have the most versatile cut that would suit different clothing styles.

For example, petite girls shouldn't opt for elongated models. A medium length or short parka is best. Although, shoes with a heel or platform can easily solve this problem.
Curvy girls are not recommended to choose parkas with large patch pockets or large decorative elements. Such a parka will make the figure heavier, making it wider and more massive.
For lovers of sports style, it is best to choose a classic parka without bright or shiny decorative elements. Lovers of the classic style can try on a fitted or slightly flared knee-length parka. Such models may well replace elegant coats or raincoats.
