Models
Initially, such a model as a park was made as a form for American military pilots, it was supposed to be comfortable, warm and windproof. The basis for fashion designers took Eskimo clothes, soaked in fish oil to impart waterproof qualities. Later, as is usually the case with army uniforms, not only pilots, but also civilians of both sexes began to wear parks.
The classic colors of modern parks are khaki, sand, green, black, cherry, and, of course, blue. The traditional style implies knee length or slightly higher, a hood and many additional elements, such as pockets, buttons, zippers and drawstrings.
Parks are sewn mainly from coarse, durable materials, which ensures particular practicality of such products.
Nevertheless, modern jacket-parks are representatives not only of the classic style direction, but there are also sports models, as well as glamorous and even luxurious ones.
Warm parks of blue sporty type are different from the classic ones, except that they are shorter in length, here the length to mid-thigh is more common. If there is a hood, then it is usually comfortable, deep, often insulated with fur. There may be a transforming hood, which is folded with a vertical zipper into two halves and turns into a wide collar.
As for the glamorous blue parks, it does not do without decorative elements, such as frills, flounces, bows, decorative cords, zippers with rhinestones, as well as a brilliant shimmering coating on fabric. You can often find a combination of the basic material of jacket-parks with leather elements, as well as with long-haired fur, for example, a fox or a raccoon.
Season
Blue color is quite versatile - it is great for both winter and autumn and cold spring. If initially parks were created solely as a winter wardrobe item, now such jackets without a lining, or even without sleeves, are worn even in summer. Summer options are usually sewn from natural materials, mainly cotton. Stylish blue parka-vests with a drawstring at the waist can be sewn from denim or fleece, they are very fond of young teenage girls.
Autumn parks are usually made from durable, moisture-resistant fabrics with a thin lining or without it. Fur, if present, is usually loose artificial, and it is located only in the hood and on the back approximately to the waist. The beige and brown fur goes well with the blue park.
The winter park of most European manufacturers is designed for a mild winter, in central Russia they will be comfortable. But for residents of the northern regions and the Far East, you need to choose jacket-parks, designed for frosts.
It is better to pay attention to manufacturers from Canada, Sweden, Denmark and Finland.
Fashion designers of famous brands from northern countries are constantly developing new advanced materials that are resistant to low temperatures and moisture, but despite this, light and thin. A high-quality membrane fabric is the best of which a winter sportswear park can be sewn.
In addition to high-tech modern fabrics, winter parks can also be made from classic woolen materials - cloth, vigogne, drape, velor and others.
The classic version of the winter women's blue parks is the model below the thigh on a quilted diagonal lining containing modern synthetic filler, or on a lining of light faux fur. Extended winter parks are a good competitor to down jackets. The winter park has an inflated stand-up collar that covers the lower part of the face from frost, as well as a deep hood, a pair of patch pockets, an inside pocket and often an additional pocket on the sleeve, fastened with a hidden zipper.
In many modern versions of winter parks, a number of parts can be detached if desired, this is a hood, a fur lining, and sometimes even sleeves. The detachable lining of the winter women's park-pihory is made, as a rule, of sheepskin, rabbit or chinchilla. The hood, trimmed with lush natural fur, will have to be very useful in the winter, it not only decorates, but also serves as additional protection from the cold. For winter blue parks, red fox fur is best suited as a bright accent.
Shades
Shades of blue, there are many. It can be cold (steel blue, azure, sea water, blue dust, cornflower blue), and it can be warm (heavenly, sapphire, denim, royal blue), it can be pure and saturated (cobalt, indigo, ultramarine), and subdued and blurred (blue pastel, gray, niagara). The color shade of the parks can be bright and piercing, and can be light and gentle, almost blue.
In the current season almost all the color palette of blue color is relevant - from calm pastel tones to brutal ink shades.

In addition, the dark blue color is quite practical, it does not need to be washed frequently or dry-cleaned.
Tips for choosing
The park, like any other piece of outerwear, is designed to highlight the existing advantages of the female figure and mask the possible disadvantages of the silhouette. First of all, you need to decide on a shade of blue depending on the type of appearance. It has long been known that any appearance decorates only a part of the existing shades, some colors enliven the look and refresh the face, others - on the contrary, give out wrinkles and circles under the eyes.
There are four main color types: winter, summer, spring and autumn. A characteristic feature of the winter type of appearance are dark hair. It is better to select colors of parks that are cold and clear - black and blue, night blue, steel blue, ultramarine and cobalt.
Summer color type, characterized by ash-brown hair and bright eyes, looks advantageous in the outer clothing of muted and warm shades. Cornflower, lavender, gray, indigo or sapphire park fits perfectly.
Spring type is recognized by straw hair. It does not recommend muted and "powdered" shades. Warm and clear tones of blue - that will decorate a woman-spring. A blue-gray, azure, aqua, denim or sapphire shade is the best choice.
Autumn color type is rare, but it is very easy to identify it by bright chestnut or red hair and green or hazel eyes. Warm, muted and natural colors - this is the main rule for the selection of clothing "autumn" girls. Here you should recommend the sky-blue color of the parks or the shade of niagara.
What to wear?
Blue women's parka is combined with almost any casual wear. In summer, a sleeveless parka is worn on a solid top or plaid shirt. Feel free to combine it with your favorite safari shorts or short skirts. We recommend that you wear sneakers, slip-ons or moccasins on feet with a light summer park.
Blue skinny trousers in gray or jeans look great with a blue parka. Upstairs you can wear a loose cut sweater.As shoes for the fall and spring, we recommend shoes and low shoes without shoes, oxfords or brogues made from natural materials. Tight turtlenecks and heeled ankle boots look good with glamorous parks.
In the cold, do not forget about the headdress, the ideal option - a light hat with a large knit with a pompon. A long knitted scarf or snood, tied over the hood, will be a good complement to the winter look. In winter, blue Timberland boots or semi-boots with a flat sole combine perfectly with the blue park. The bag is better to choose a volume, not a catchy neutral shade.
As for color combinations, accessories can be blue, black, beige or gray tones. But as a bright color accent one can choose one of the elements of a bright red, yellow or even green shade.
