Parkas represent everything antifashion; they're practical, long-lasting, timeless, and perhaps a bit boring by some standards. But stylish women across the globe have claimed the boyish coats as their own and shown us how to style these cold-weather staples to make them look as good as any £2,000 pink Carven cocoon coat. The key is to mix things up, so don't be afraid to wear your parka with heels, or tote a luxury leather bag with your utilitarian coat. As celeb fans Fearne Cotton, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Suki Waterhouse show, the joy of the parka is that it can be thrown over any outfit, rain or shine. This Winter, look for prints, unusual colours, leather trims, or contrast sleeves for an extra dose of drama. Shop some of our favourite finds below.
