the essential it of winter
This season again, the parka is talking about it. A true hybrid piece that combines comfort and style, the parka has made a place for itself, and not least, in women’s wardrobes. To protect you from the elements, but also and above all to give you a long and proud silhouette, the parka has become a staple in your wardrobe.
Historically designed to help you get through the cold winter, this garment is now available in different materials: short or long, flared or curved, parkas are available in several shapes and colors to adapt to all styles. Removable linings, lined hoods, the parka is designed to adapt to the rhythm of time. They can be worn over your urban chic outfits, they ensure your street-cred, they make you casual and they even establish your elegance: in a word, parkas are there sometimes to finish sometimes to define your look.
The origin of the parka
If the term parka took place in our daily vocabulary, it was initially a Russian dialect with Samoyed origins which would mean “animal skin” and which is now used to designate this long jacket in waterproof fabric or skin, lined and often with a hood. This term would not have arrived in France until around 1700. The cut of the classic parka is a straight cut, with long sleeves, a high collar and patch pockets. Today we find it available in flared, plunging or even asymmetrical cuts.
They are often equipped with a hood, sometimes lined, sometimes lined, sometimes removable, and a lining, often in polyester, designed to face the extreme cold of winter. If the parka is long, it is above all a choice of comfort. Even if its style offers a slender and elegant silhouette, the primary objective of the design of the parka is to cover and insulate the torso, shoulders, back, hips and upper thighs from the cold.
Knowing how to choose your women’s parka
Since 1955, Cesare Nori has offered a selection of the most cutting-edge winter pieces in women’s wardrobes. We have selected from our collection the essential parkas to spend the winter warm without going unnoticed.

What budget for a quality parka?
It takes an average of 700 € for a parka. At Cesare Nori, we offer a selection of parkas ranging from € 200 for outlet or entry-level models up to € 1,200 for models with thermoregulator and real fur. The price difference is often explained by the choice of materials (synthetic microfiber, sheepskin, leather, etc.), the finishes and accessories (leather straps, fur, etc.), the thickness of the lining, the length of the cut, etc. Each of the pieces in our selection has been chosen with the greatest care and will be of high quality.
What is the difference between a parka and a down jacket?
The biggest difference between the two winter coats is the length. The parka has a drape that falls slightly below the hips to mid-thigh for some, while the down jacket often ends at the waist. Then, it is more common to see quilted down jackets, where a parka is often smooth for an elongated silhouette.
You now have the keys to choosing the winter coat that will accompany you for several seasons.
