What is the difference between a coat and a parka?
1 Answer
The difference between a coat and a parka comes down to the specificity of the terms. A coat is any piece of outerwear that travels to the hips or lower part of the body. Parka is the term for an insulated coat that usually includes a hood, often trimmed in genuine or faux fur. Nearly all parkas are considered coats due to their length, but not all coats are parkas. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of parkas.
