We can see you hesitating behind the screen... Pairing a parka with your light and colorful summer outfits, really? And yet! In this article, Trench & Coat relies on its navy blue Grenadier parka to prove that style and practicality can go hand in hand, even under the sun.
💙 Why do we love it so much?
-
Its oversized hood, perfect for protecting your most ambitious blowouts
-
Its feminine line, beautifully structured by a defined waist seam
And although Cristina Cordula didn't give us a theme... We present 3 summer outfit ideas to wear the parka with elegance (and without overheating!).
Look 1: A casual look for a weekend at the beach
Close your eyes for a moment... You hear the cry of the seagulls, smell the salty air, and perceive the sound of the waves in the background. It's over 20°, but the sky suddenly clouds over and, without warning... the rain arrives.
Plot twist: you're wearing your magnificent Grenadier parka. But what have you paired it with?
-
High-waisted white or beige shorts, in canvas or linen, for lightness.
-
A cotton t-shirt, plain or with navy stripes, for a seaside feel.
-
A pair of hoop earrings and a camel mini crossbody bag, for a chic and sunny touch.
💙 Our favorite? The JULES & JENN rain boots, perfectly matched with the Grenadier parka. We love their nautical striped elastic and their silhouette, which is both comfortable and ultra-feminine — they remind us of a certain parka, don't they? 😉
Tip: roll up the parka sleeves to lighten the silhouette and reveal your jewelry.
Look 2: An effortless outfit in a long & flowing dress
Summer is the season for long, flowing dresses. Pairing a parka with this kind of outfit? At first glance, no thanks!
And yet... we guarantee you: the Grenadier parka can enhance your look while protecting you from the rain. No more checking the weather every 5 minutes — put on your favorite dress and let the parka do the rest. And for this outfit, our tips:
-
A printed, slightly slit long flowing dress, for freedom of movement.
-
Braided flat sandals or minimalist sneakers.
-
A straw tote bag to accentuate the summer vibe.
Tip: worn open, the parka highlights your dress and adds a casual touch. Closed, it visually transforms into a long skirt, for a look that is both feminine and original. One parka, two ways to wear it.
Look 3: An urban style for drinks in the city
Sun means patio... and, of course, aperitifs! But once evening comes, temperatures drop, and the sky can quickly change its mood.
No, we haven't found a parka that can protect your cocktail or your cheese board... but we do have one that will take care of your freshly washed hair. And that's not bad, right? Plus, we have a little look idea to suggest to you!
-
An ecru or taupe palazzo pant to lengthen the leg.
-
A fitted sleeveless top or a ribbed tank top.
-
Minimalist white sneakers or open loafers.
Tip: play with volumes! With flowing pants and a fitted top, the parka balances the silhouette while adding a casual-chic touch.
