I would like a new parka to replace the old one I have that has fallen to bits! I have narrowed it down to one of the following:

option 1 in khaki
Or
option 2

Which do you think?? I am currently slightly more in favour of option 2 but I'm in my mid thirties and not sure if I'm too old for that style......

Option 1

I'm not keen on the fasteners on option 2.

I like the hidden fastenings on option one. The second one has more of an anoraks feel maybe due to the fastenings.

Option one.

2, number 1 looks like a teenagers coat to me.

Thanks everyone. I think I will probably go with number 2.

I have the Uniqlo one and it is gorgeous.

Gobblers, would you say that the Uniqlo one is quite 'full'? I don't like that style of parka when it looks quite flat and thin If you know what I mean.

It is very far from flat and thin, when i was describing it to someone else on here I said it's only fault as from the side I look like I am smuggling a baby elephant

But with the amout of fabric in it, it is never going to be a minimising look.

Oooh, I was going to start this very thread as I decided yesterday that I simply must have a parka.

Were there any others in your shortlist, Tweet?
