We’ve seen a lot of coats this season, but what specific coat can be worn for an overcast & rainy day? As you can tell by the set above, the parka pretty much suits this kind of weather. There’s a style, color and look for everyone; all it takes is a little investigation.

The parka encompasses a natural military trend with a touch of trench coat – a hybrid accessible and affordable for the budget-friendly fashionista/o. I’ve recently gotten one from Forever 21 and cannot wait to style it for a future post this week. The gold hardware shines against the deep olive green color, and pulls a look together when paired with black, light olive and/or beige pieces.

Skip the raincoat and invest in something a bit trendier that will keep you much, much warmer this winter.
