Winter parka is an essential part of any cold-weather wardrobe, especially if you live in a cold climate.

The parka was invented by the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic, who called it the "Amauti."

I often get asked about the most essential winter pieces. I've already posted an article on winter wardrobe essentials and even followed it up with another on how to elevate your winter wardrobe. Today, I'll focus on the most essential coats for casual dressing.

A balmacaan is a loose, roomy, single-breasted overcoat with raglan sleeves, often made from thick wool or tweed.

Unlike a jacket, a vest only takes up part of your body, leaving your sleeves exposed, which makes it easier to experiment with color.

A shooting jacket is a sports jacket made specifically for activities like hunting and clay shooting.

It’s a classic style that dates back 200 years, and it can be worn with a suit or with jeans and a sweater.
