After such a cold winter last year, I've come to realize that my warmest coats aren't very warm at all. What I wore all winter last year when it was coldest was my
Burberry Brit Bosworth Quilted Patchwork Coat and
Moncler Ariette Fur-Trim Puffer Coat, which definitely weren't warm enough. So I decided to look for a toastier coat this winter, which A graciously offered to buy for my Christmas present. :)
I first became aware of the
Parajumpers brand when I visited the
Paragon Sports store a few years ago so I knew they would be a good brand for a warm winter coat aside from the ubiquitous Canada Goose, which I was also considering. I remember trying on the girl's
Canada Goose Brittania a while ago, which didn't fit quite right and so was much more interested in seeing how Parajumpers fit. I took a quick trip to Bloomingdale's at 59th Street to try the
Parajumpers Long Bear Coat I've been eyeing and am very glad I did because the store has such a great selection of winter coats! I realized it was way too big and puffy, despite the reviews stating it's very slim-fitting.
Though that didn't work out like I hoped, I was really happy to see that there were so many other styles that I was able to try on from them. Out of the
Parajumpers Long Bear Coat,
Parajumpers Angie Down Coat, and
Parajumpers Selma Fur Trim Down Parka that I tried on, I absolutely liked
Selma the best. Even though both
Selma and
Angie are much more lightweight than
Long Bear, they all have the same very high warmth rating, which means they're good for temperatures below 0.
I decided to try on the Women's
Canada Goose Kensington to compare and found the fit of a XS in this Bloomingdale's exclusive (love the dark fur trim) is better in terms of the sleeve length (because of the knit cuff) but I still preferred the overall look of the
Parajumpers Selma, which looks much sleeker.
Even though the sleeves were a bit too long on the
Selma, I still decided I wanted it so I was more than happy to see that this comes in size XXS too. The XS was already quite snug on me overall so I hope XXS fits well. A says he won't give it to me until Christmas so I'm looking forward to it!
