Women's Black Parka With Faux Fur Hood

Protected Species

Because we're now saying hello to the cosy months of autumn and winter – or maybe it was that pretty wet summer we just had –either way, we've got our sights set on the best parka jackets to shop right now. A jacket that'll put up a good fight against whatever erratic weather our British shores throws at us is, honestly, the only outerwear we care about right now.

Whether you're back to commuting, planning a hiking trip or going for a relaxing Sunday stroll, after you leave your house it's always a gamble what weather you'll face. And now that we actually are leaving our houses again, dressing for inclement weather is something we have to consider. Wind resistant, water repellent and always sporting a hood, the parka jacket has you covered from all the elements.

They're also pretty versatile. There are plenty of lightweight and oversized parka jacket styles that you can layer up your knitwear or sweatshirts underneath or, equally, pack away in your gym bag ready and waiting for the second the weather unexpectedly turns on you. Alternatively, there's the padded, puffer parka jacket that's intended for those Antarctic-level days with bitter winds and icy chills.

And yes, the parka may be on the practical side amongst your winter coat collection, but that doesn't mean there isn't a multitude of stylish options. With fur trim hoods, fleece lining and drawstring waists there are SO many to choose from. Here's our round up of the best parka jackets to invest in.
