Ruched Parka, �55, New Look

There are many coat styles on trend this season. The camel coat gives the ultimate style, the aviator is ultra cool, the fur is a stylist classic and the short jacket is the easy to wear option.

Then there is the parka.

Once the must-have item for summer festivals the winter parka combines the versatility of its summer predecessor, but with a warmer inside albeit fur or quilt.

Life Matters loves this ruched parka from Next. The drawstring wasit is perfect for emphasising a tiny waist and the ruching is the ideal solution for hiding bigger tummys.
