You’re not letting anything get you down, even the chilliest winter days. You love a pop of colour to brighten up your mood, especially on drab days – and you’re certainly not afraid to stand out in the crowd.
As the chill sets in, there’s no better go-to jacket than the classic parka. Light, comfy and ultra-cosy, it’s the kind of piece that goes with anything, and fits in everywhere.
But all jackets are not created equal – and with so many to choose from, why not pick one to suit your personality and lifestyle? After all, we all ‘do’ winter differently! Here’s our round up of new season favourites, and who we think will love them.
For the dog park devotee…
Frosty mornings? Subzero evenings? When you’re a fur mama you’ll brave anything to get your beloved out and about. You tend to prioritise practicality, and love an outer layer that’s cosy, easy to throw on, and has plenty of pockets for dog treats and toys. You’re also happy to keep it low key, rather than make a big statement.
Our pick for you:
Water repellent, super cosy, and the kind of olive green that goes with any outfit, it ticks all your boxes (and even has cute faux fur trim).
For the nature lover…
For you, winter is all about hikes, climbs and other adventures that would make less outdoorsy types shudder. You can cope with extreme conditions so your winter jacket needs to be supremely high performance. And because you love nature, you care about how your clothes are made, and insist on pieces that are ethically and responsible made.

True to its name, it’s light as a feather, so won’t add extra weight to your rucksack. And as well as being super warm, it’s certified by the Responsible Down Standard (RDS) for the humane treatment of animals.
For the multi-tasking mum…
Does anyone work as hard as you? It’s doubtful – but a great winter coat could give you a run for your money. Since you’re quite literally always on the run, you need something super versatile. One moment you may be in a work meeting, the next you’re dashing to footy practice (or sick bay). So your winter jacket needs to fit in anywhere, and do its job as well as you do yours.

You can’t go wrong with classic black, and we love how flattering the shape is, with contoured lines and that little bit of extra length (just what you need on the sidelines at Saturday sport).
For the bright side babe…
You’re not letting anything get you down, even the chilliest winter days. You love a pop of colour to brighten up your mood, especially on drab days – and you’re certainly not afraid to stand out in the crowd. Oh, and staying cosy is a non-negotiable! Nothing spoils the buzz like frostbite.
Our pick for you:
We’re obsessed with this vivid teal and you will be too. This jacket even has clever hidden toggle you can cinch to trap in warmth. Close your eyes and you could almost be in Bali…
For the urban warrior…
Inner city life is not for the faint hearted. But you love the rush, and take it all in your stride – from wind tunnels to crowded streets. That said, you do need your ‘armour’ to protect you from the urban jungle, and that includes a winter jacket that’s high performance, and has just the right amount of attitude.
Our pick for you:
Its special technology helps manage your body’s natural heat to help keep you warm, and its zippered pockets are perfect when you need to stash and go.
