Women's Parkas

Women's parkas have become an essential part of a woman's wardrobe, far beyond the status of a mere fashion trend. Thanks to their fit, comfort and versatility, they have gained an unshakeable position. Originally designed for men, parkas soon came on the market with models tailored specifically for women - with a slimmer fit and richer details that women couldn't resist. The parka is the perfect choice for spring, autumn and winter. In spring, you can wear it with a T-shirt or a thin sweater, with which the Vans Old Skool goes perfectly. For fall and winter, on the other hand, we recommend layering warmer pieces underneath and finishing the outfit with Timberlands to keep you warm and looking great!

You'll know a parka by its longer cut, button fastening and the option to drawstring around the waist or hem. It also features a hood, large pockets and nature-inspired colours such as dark green, blue, brown or black. Modern parkas are made from fabric-looking materials but offer waterproofing and thermal comfort. At Queens, you'll find a wide selection of quality parkas from the world's leading brands.

Interesting fact: Parkas have their origins in the Eskimo way of life, who made them from seal or reindeer skins impregnated with fish oil for better thermal insulation properties. The Eskimos called these coats "animal skins" and they were designed to be easily slipped over the head, allowing for effective layering of clothing to retain heat. Contemporary parka design is influenced by military style with practical features such as various fastening systems or pockets.
