Dressing a modern teenager - this task only at first glance seems easy. After all, often the tastes of children and parents diverge. The older generation wants things to be practical, protect their child from the cold, the wind, and be well cleaned. Teenagers are more important to be stylish and dress with the times. How to combine these aspirations together?
In this case, the jacket-park comes to the rescue of both parents and children. This jacket is an excellent example, as one thing can combine convenience, comfort, practicality and the most fashionable trends of the season.
This type of outerwear was invented 300 years ago by the Alskian Eskimos. Only it was made not from fabric, but from animal skins. Behind the Eskimos, this model very much attracted American military pilots.
Naturally, they abandoned the skins, using dense windproof fabrics, made the jacket more comfortable without losing its insulating properties. And modern designers, having estimated simplicity of a style, experiment every year with this model. And they achieved insane popularity not only among adults, but also among children and teenagers.
And this popularity is quite understandable. Jacket-parks style allows it to be used in all seasons. A variety of fabrics and colors used facilitates the selection of suitable clothing.
What are the features characteristic of teenage jacket parks?
- straight elongated cut, covers the back of the child well;
- free tailoring does not hamper the movement of the child and will not allow to be washed in school uniform;
- comfortable zipper with patch flap covering it, easy to use;
- patch pockets of different shapes and sizes and various fittings make the jacket very interesting and functional;
- a drawstring drawstring at the waist and hem of the jacket adorns the shape of the jacket and allows for a better fit of the model;
- deep hood well protects from wind or rain.
Often, designers add some elements to a children's jacket to make it more adapted to the child’s lifestyle. It can be reflective elements, which contributes to the safety of a teenager in the evening.
Pockets in teenage versions of jackets often do not have a classic rectangular look, but are sewn at an angle. This is convenient when you want to hide your hands, because many teenagers do not like or forget to wear mittens and gloves. Sleeves in winter models often have additional knitted elastic cuffs, which prevents snow from getting into the sleeve when playing in the open air.
Winter models of parks for teenagers are most often insulated with a lining on the padding polyester, goose down or artificial fur. The jacket on goose down is considered the warmest. The main thing here - do not make a mistake with the ratio of down-feather.
The ideal is a proportion of 90% down and 10% feather. If the percentage of the pen is greater, then the feathers will pierce the lining and crawl out of the jacket. If the pen is not at all, then the fluff is knitted.
The synthetic winterizer is a very convenient material for a teenage jacket. It is light, dries quickly, warms well and does not fall. In addition, it practically does not let water through, so if a child has been exposed to rain or sleet, it will still remain dry.
Older teens often prefer faux fur linings. And it is not surprising, because modern fur is not inferior in beauty and softness to natural. In addition, it is cheaper than natural. In modern jackets, the lining of faux fur is painted in a wide variety of colors, thanks to which the variety of models has increased significantly, and the jackets have become more interesting.
When choosing, pay attention to whether the lining comes off. This makes it easier to wash the product.This is especially important for schoolchildren, after walks which, often, the jacket needs cleaning. The hood and back sometimes have a fleece lining for more warmth.
Of course, brighter colors are characteristic of teen parks. Yellow, orange, green, blue, crimson and pink - all this variety of colors has found application in the production of teenage outerwear. The latest trend was the combination of several colors in the park. Now even the most fastidious child will find a jacket to his taste.
Older adolescents opt for a more classic color scheme, preferring brown, beige, quiet green, and universal black.
Summer female models designers decorate with various prints, stripes and appliqués. Sports models - rivets, buttons, false lightning.
Teenagers fell in love with the jacket park for wearing it with almost any clothes from the youth wardrobe. It is only necessary to take into account some points:
- sports models are best combined with jeans, leggings, pants, shorts;
- Classic models (calmer with a moderate amount of pockets and rivets) can be worn with jeans, skirts and dresses.
It is not recommended to wear an elongated parka with short capri pants. This will break the proportions of the female figure. It is also better not to wear a skirt or dress to the floor. Because of the layering of the girl may look sloppy.
Shoes are selected depending on the season and personal preferences of the teenager. In winter, it can be fashionable high boots or boots with a wide shaft. In the summer version, light sneakers, sneakers or sandals are quite suitable. A variety of models of shoes is now so diverse that it will allow you to form a full-fledged ensemble with any park.
Do not forget about scarves, kerchiefs, scarves. Any kind of scarf will refresh the image, make it more complete and interesting. This season multi-layered designs are in fashion, so scarves in all their diversity will come in handy like never before.
