Military outfits or accouterments might not be that infamous in men’s wardrobe, but thanks to runways, the classic military trend is all voguish this season. And luckily, tapping into this fall’s military trend is extremely easy with this Burberry Prorsum’s trimmed cotton twill parka. This virile parka has all the elements that could lend you the prefect military inspired look instantly. Before you invest into this timeless piece, have a look at some of its interesting sartorial features.
The Parka highlights
Just when we thought that this somewhat masculine raffia hood parka is only designed to appeal the corridors of rustic; manly society, we noticed the fur and toggle details on its hems and cuffs, which successfully helped in de-emphasizing the over-manly look of the parka.
The label, that has already established itself as a leading brand, showed off different elements for perfect ruff-and-tuff look through this beautifully crafted outwear. The modern interpretation, touch of the genuine military cool and the re-invention of heavy jackets is beautifully done with the hint of trimmed hood, brand logo, hand-ripped up detachable trims, duffle detailing and two front button pockets followed by a concealed zip closure. Everything about this twill parka is interesting, and its fine adjustable belt behind its rear provides the jacket with the option of either leaving the coat intact or showing off your midriffs.
This sought-to-be next wardrobe staple can be accessorized with minimalistic accessories like woolen stockings, boots and handcrafted woolen caps. In terms of versatility and modernized touches, we loved the parka all the way!
Designer
Christopher Bailey introduced some new military styling concepts to his most recent Fall collection; and through this irresistibly timeless parka, he has finally shown his eminence in the world of fashion. For applying military fashion to the mainstream outwear, Burberry designer Christopher Bailey and his winter celebratory parka inevitably gets a big thumbs up. Whether you are looking for a perfect masculine silhouette or just pretending to have one, this ultra-glamorous parka will do you enough favor.
Thumbs up
The Rafia cotton parka and the touch of updated and modernistic military style was supremely delighting. To refrain the parka from delivering too much of rough-and tumble look, the designer pulled off some ruched and drape-y appearance instead. This heritage tumbled cotton parka is sure to receive a huge appreciation from the fans and, of course, the fashion critics. Taking inspirations from the Burberry archives, the parka included panoptic use of furs, oxford buttons and bright, winter-y color: earthy tone.
Although this cotton parka is overcrowded with the elements that are extremely hefty, but the inclusion of furry embellishments has added an extra bit of zing to its appearance. This Uber-luxe outwear comes with a flair of casual tone, and is the perfect epitome of a winter outwear that delivers something less masculine out of the brawny military trend. Military details, interesting shape and luxurious styling, these all traits sum up this charming Burberry parka. Its detachable hood will allow you to dress yourself in two different appealing ways.
Thumbs down
We almost found ourselves struggling when it came down to discarding this winter outwear for some arbitrary reasons. Like other outwear of the Burberry collections, however, it too had its own wearable-ity drawbacks. Firstly, this hood parka was mainly designed for an over-sized look. Unless you are bulky or own a lot of muscles, you are not perfect enough to toss over this accouterment. The raffia trim hood on this heavy jacket could lend you a military look-alike silhouette. Thus, not suitable to match up with the cocktail party ensemble just to add a dash of casualness.
