I have a few obsessions with certain clothing items, one being jackets and coats. I love jackets, even though in my current place of residence it rarely goes below 70 degrees. This year, however, has been one of the coldest winters in years (sunny but cold). Needless to say, I have been taking full advantage of this jacket weather. Now, because of my obsession with outerwear, I have several different types and styles. One style this year caught my eye more than others, the parka.
I’ve been noticing the parka style in stores, online, and on people. There are so many different styles of fashion parkas available right now, more so than ever been before. For example, some have fur, some are nylon puffer jackets, while other parkas have minimal to no lining made from cotton twill and a drawstring waist. I decided to go with a simple black puffer parka from H&M. During their Black Friday sales, I was able to buy this puffer parka for a great deal. I wasn’t sure how I would like the longer length jacket or that it would be cold enough to wear it.
To my surprise, I loved it, and for the past two months, this jacket has been a staple in my wardrobeThis jacket is so warm and comfortable, and it is perfect for this cold weather. I chose a simple style jacket to be very versatile with several of my outfits. The length is perfect (especially for a short gal like me), and it has a front double zipper feature so that I can still zip up to keep warm but create room for my legs to walk. In short, I am ecstatic with this jacket purchase. It just goes to show, you might be pleasantly surprised with trying something new. What was your favorite jacket this year?
