Park-transformer
In the cold season, we all need warm and high-quality outerwear. Eminent designers regularly replenish their collections with stylish models of down jackets, coats, jackets, raincoats and fur coats, so that consumers always have plenty to choose from.
But for the past few seasons, parkas have not left the fashion scene - elongated jackets with insulation, which are distinguished by a simple and comfortable cut. Their practicality has already been appreciated by modern youth, but fashion designers did not stop there and this season presented special models of transformer parks.
Features and benefits of the model
The main advantage of the transformer parka is that it can be comfortably worn almost all year round.
With one movement of the hand, an elongated robe, similar to a winter down jacket, easily turns into a shortened windbreaker jacket.
- Such metamorphoses occur due to the unique constructive solution of fashion designers.
- The hem of the jacket is fastened with a zipper behind the flap, but this is not visible in the full-fledged version of the jacket.
This little secret is the only distinguishing feature of the transformer jacket, because otherwise it is no different from the classic model.
- The same sewn-in voluminous pockets, the same belt at the waist and always a deep hood.
- Winter parka models are often complemented by cuffs on the sleeves to protect the hands from the cold.
- A high stand-up collar plays both a decorative value, giving the image a more stylish look, and practical, protecting the neck from cold and wind.
Fashion trends
In the fashion season 2016 - 2017, in the model range of transforming parks, there are both styles of classic colors and very non-standard ones. Some pieces are complemented by stylish decorative elements in the form of fur trim, an additional pair of pockets or lining.
The most fashionable colors this season are orange, crimson, red, yellow, green and blue, but some people prefer to choose traditional ones - black, gray, beige, brown.
But I would like to pay special attention to those models of parks that differ in certain features.
Downy
Such a park - a transformer in the assembled version can be worn even in the most severe frosts. Its main advantage lies in the insulation, which includes goose down and feathers. This small addition gives the jacket model extraordinary warming properties that are not lost even when the hem is unbuttoned. Fur trim on the collar is almost a mandatory attribute of any winter parka, but it is better if the trim comes unfastened along with the hem. On some models of winter parkas, even the sleeves are detachable, which allows the model to be used as a vest.
Unlined
Such models of parks are often called demi-season. They look as light as possible in any form and are so in weight. In the assembled version, they can be used as sports-type raincoats, and in the transformed version - as light windbreakers.The main difference between this jacket model is the absence of insulation, so it does not look so voluminous. Such parkas are usually not complemented by fur trim around the hood, although there are exceptions.
How to choose
The advantages of choosing a transformer parka are obvious, but how to choose a really high-quality and versatile model that is suitable for any occasion. First of all, you need to pay attention to the materials from which it is made. It is better if the outer part of the jacket is made of nylon, supplemented with cotton. But the lining is better to choose, focusing on the season. For a warmer period, polyester is suitable, and for a cold one, wool.
In a high-quality park, there must be removable elements - a lining and a hood. It is also desirable that the pockets are at hand level. It is better not to choose parks with imitation of pockets, it is simply useless to create an extra and useless volume. It is good if, in addition to external pockets, the model also has internal ones. Remember that demi-season parka models are made from fabrics - membranes.
Big size
But parks - transformers should be chosen not only with a focus on materials. You should also pay attention to the features of the silhouette, and especially if they noticeably stand out from the classic model frames. Large parks should first of all be long enough. Their length in the assembled version should reach the knees, and in the transformed version - at least mid-thigh. It is worth considering that it is not necessary to choose unnecessarily free models of parks.
What to wear
But modern fashion designers recommend wearing parkas with everyday elements of the wardrobe.These can be classic jeans, leggings, trousers and tights with skirts of different lengths. When choosing a harmonious combination, it is important to pay special attention to the season. So, for a colder period, knitted sweaters, sweaters and insulated tunics with dresses will be the best addition to the look with a park. For a more unstable off-season in terms of weather, you can choose lighter clothing models - blouses, shirts, cropped dresses and skirts.
What accessories and shoes are suitable
No less attention should be paid to the main highlights of any image - shoes and accessories.
- Best of all, sports shoes are in harmony with the park - sneakers, boots and sneakers.
- In a colder period, the image can be supplemented with half boots, ankle boots, full-fledged high-top boots and even over the knee boots.
- You can choose a sports cap - knitted with a sports print or knitted.
Stylish female images
But if you want to make the image more stylish, you will have to complement it with more elegant types of hats and accessories.
- Small hats and berets will give the look a more sophisticated look.
- Regarding bags, we can say that they can be completely different. Do you want to create a sporty look? Choose backpacks and shapeless trunks. Do you want to look elegant? Shoulder bags and classic handbags - that's what you need.
Brand news
Many modern manufacturers are actively working on the creation of new models of transformer parks.
- This season, the Fendi brand has especially distinguished itself by creating a parka model with stylish fur sleeves.
- The eminent brand Burberry is not far behind - a stylish model of a blue parka with an edge on the hood is already on sale.
All the above-mentioned manufacturers use only high-quality materials for the production of parkas. 100% polyester repels moisture and warms in winter from frosty wind. Only down and waterfowl feathers are used as insulation. And as a fur trim, a natural skin of a raccoon, mink, rabbit and others is used.
The cost of such parks certainly stands out from the average price category, but quality cannot be cheap. Yes, and such parkas are worn much longer than cheaper counterparts, which, combined with the versatility of the transformer, is a clear advantage.
