12 Chic Anoraks, Because Winter Is Coming

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering what the difference is between an anorak and a parka, firstly — congratulations — you are a fashion nerd, and secondly, not much, actually. Parkas and anoraks are both heavy-duty jackets with a hood — more sporty and practical than urbane, anoraks have been the go-to coat for women who care more about preventing frostbite than looking fashionable in sub-zero temperatures. The only difference between the two is that anoraks are typically shorter than knee-length parkas.

Feeling a chill? Warm up with our 12 favorite picks. And, if you’re getting sticker shock from the slideshow? Unfortunately, a warm winter coat comes with a much higher price tag than usual — but we’ve scoured the shops to bring you quality anoraks that come in a range of styles and prices. Enjoy!
