Parkas for Women

What makes Tom Tailor's parkas for women special?

Tom Tailor parkas are made for everyday life: uncomplicated, functional and fairly priced. We focus on fits and materials you actually need – warm for winter, lightweight for the in-between seasons.

What is a parka – and how is it different from a jacket?

A parka is originally a long, lined jacket with a hood that comes from military functional clothing. Unlike a classic jacket, it usually extends past the hips, offering more protection from wind and cold. That's exactly what makes it such a versatile companion for cooler days.

Which parka suits which season?

For winter, a lined parka – often with down filling – works best, keeping you warm even at low temperatures; you'll find further warm options among our coats & puffers for women. For the in-between seasons, a lighter style usually does the job, like our transitional jackets for women. If you wear a parka in summer, an unlined, breathable style is the best choice.

What should you look for in a good parka?

A waterproof or at least water-repellent fabric offers reliable protection against rain. A down or synthetic lining adds extra warmth, while an adjustable hood and a drawstring waist help you get the right fit. In the end, what matters most is that the parka holds up in your everyday life.

Which colour and length suit you?

Classic parka colours like green and black are versatile and go with almost any look. When it comes to length, you can choose between a short parka for more freedom of movement and a long style that offers extra protection from the cold.

What makes a fishtail parka special?

The fishtail parka is recognisable by its distinctive hem that tapers to a point at the back – hence the name. The cut originally comes from military clothing and has since become a timeless streetwear classic. Paired with skinny jeans for women, it creates a relaxed, effortless look.
