Park for a teenager
Dressing a modern teenager - this task seems easy only at first glance. After all, the tastes of children and parents often differ. The older generation wants things to be practical, to protect their child from the cold, wind, and be cleaned well. It is more important for teenagers to be stylish and dress with the times. How do you combine these aspirations together?
In this case, a parka jacket comes to the rescue of both parents and children. This jacket is an excellent example of how convenience, comfort, practicality and the most fashionable trends of the season can be combined in one piece.
This type of outerwear was invented 300 years ago by the Eskimos of Alaska. Only it was made not from fabric, but from animal skins. Following the Eskimos, this model was very popular with American military pilots.
Naturally, they abandoned the skins, using dense wind-resistant fabrics, made the jacket more comfortable without losing its thermal insulation properties. And modern designers, having appreciated the simplicity of the style, experiment with this model every year. And they achieved insane popularity not only among adults, but also among children and adolescents.
And this popularity is quite understandable. The style of the parka jacket allows it to be used in all seasons. And the variety of fabrics and colors used makes it easy to choose the right clothes.
What are the characteristics of a teenage parka jacket?
- straight elongated cut, well covers the back of the child;
- free tailoring does not hinder the movement of the child and will not allow the school uniform to wrinkle;
- Convenient zipper with an overhead flap covering it, easy to use;
- patch pockets of different shapes and sizes and various accessories make the jacket very interesting and functional;
- a drawstring at the waist and hem of the jacket adorns the shape of the jacket and makes it possible to better fit the model to the figure;
- deep hood protects well from wind or rain.
Often, designers add some elements to a children's jacket to make it more adapted to the child's lifestyle. These can be reflective elements, which contributes to the safety of the teenager in the evening.
Pockets in teenage versions of jackets often do not have a classic rectangular look, but are sewn at an angle. This is convenient when you want to hide your hands, because many teenagers do not like or forget to wear mittens and gloves. Sleeves in winter models often have additional knitted elasticated cuffs to keep snow out of the sleeve when playing outdoors.
Winter parkas for teenagers are most often insulated with padding on padding polyester, goose down or faux fur. A goose-down jacket is considered the warmest. The main thing here is not to be mistaken with the down-feather ratio.
The ideal proportion is 90% down and 10% feather. If the percentage of feathers is higher, then the awns of the feathers will pierce the lining and crawl out of the jacket. If there is no feather at all, then the fluff falls off.
Sintepon is a very comfortable material for a teenage jacket. It is lightweight, dries quickly, heats well and does not fall off. In addition, it practically does not allow water to pass through, so if the child is caught in rain or sleet, it will still remain dry.
Older teens tend to prefer faux fur lining. And it is not surprising, because modern fur is not inferior in beauty and softness to natural. Moreover, it is cheaper than natural. In modern jackets, faux fur lining is dyed in a variety of colors, thanks to which the variety of models has increased significantly, and the jackets have become more interesting.
When choosing, pay attention to whether the lining comes unfastened. This makes the garment easier to wash. This is especially important for schoolchildren, after whose walks, often, the jacket needs to be cleaned. The hood and back are sometimes fleece-lined for added warmth.
Of course, teenage parkas are characterized by brighter colors. Yellow, orange, light green, blue, raspberry and pink - all this variety of colors has found application in the production of teenage outerwear. The latest trend is the combination of several colors in the park. Now even the most fastidious child will find a jacket to his liking.
Older teenagers opt for a more classic color option, preferring brown, beige, calm green, versatile black.
Designers decorate summer female models with various prints, patches and appliques. Sports models - rivets, buttons, false zippers.
Teenagers fell in love with the parka jacket because it can be worn with almost any clothing from the youth wardrobe. It is only necessary to take into account some points:
- sports models go better with jeans, leggings, trousers, shorts;
- classic models (more relaxed with a moderate number of pockets and rivets) can be worn with jeans as well as skirts and dresses.
It is not recommended to wear a long parka with cropped capri pants. This will distort the proportions of the female figure. It is also best not to wear a skirt or dress to the floor. Due to the layering, the girl can look sloppy.
Shoes are selected depending on the season and personal preferences of the teenager. In winter versions, it can be fashionable high boots or boots with a wide bootleg. In the summer version, lightweight sneakers, sneakers or sandals are fine. The variety of shoe models is now so diverse that it will allow you to form a full-fledged ensemble with any park.
