Women's demi-season parkas
The first appearance of the parks did not go unnoticed. In the last century, Alaska jackets were very popular, which can be considered pioneers in the world of clothing. Fashion has survived to this day, and parks have become an indispensable element of the modern woman's wardrobe. Of course, it was not without transformations that were introduced by fashion trends. The length and styles of jackets changed. One thing has remained unchanged - convenience, reliable protection from wind and precipitation.
Peculiarities
The peoples of the Far North were the first to put on jackets. In particular, translated from the Nenets park, it means a skin. These were casual clothes, which they tried to decorate with feathers or fur. Typically, the outerwear was covered with treated fish skin. With the advent of civilization in harsh lands, people began to use durable fabric bought from merchants. Modern models look completely different.
The fishermen, who are in constant motion, have come up with their own special loose style of the jacket. The face was completely covered by a hood insulated with fur. The clothes were closed very tightly to prevent the penetration of the cold wind. It was on these jackets that the elements of clothing first appeared, which received their name as "fish tail". The back of the jacket was longer than the front and was divided into two parts. Each could be wrapped and secured to the leg for added protection from frost and wind. The jacket fully covered the thigh, while allowing its wearer to remain active and free in movement.
The idea of Eskimo clothing was adopted by the United States Army and military pilots were the first to try on parkas. They appreciated the good combination of thermal qualities and freedom in maneuvering.
Later, the parks went to the masses and gained popularity among the population on the territory of the continent and ended up in European countries.The schoolchildren of England especially liked the jackets. Parks in this country were produced with quilted lining and the brightest shades. The manufacturers, having picked up the fashionable wave, oversaturated the market with such jackets. Clothes were sold literally for small change and began to be considered a sign of poverty.
At the beginning of the 2000s, the designers managed to regain interest in parks. They have been featured in the collections of renowned fashion houses. Over the past 10 years, interest in such jackets has not decreased, moreover, it is growing. The parks are a great match for a variety of fashion styles. You can't find the best clothes for spring and autumn.
