Two points to keep in mind when choosing a mountain parka that goes with a suit

If you are looking for a mountain parka that goes well with a suit, we recommend that you choose a model that meets the two points we are about to introduce.

(1) Choose a length that covers the suit jacket.

Basically, it is preferable to choose a model with a length that does not show the hem of the jacket when the mountain parka is worn. If the hem of the jacket can be seen through the hem of the mountain parka, it will instantly create a casual atmosphere. The length of a jacket is usually around 72cm for a size 46, so it is advisable to choose a mountain parka with a length longer than that when purchasing online.

(2) Choose a sophisticated design that makes a modest statement.

If you are planning to wear a mountain parka with a business style that requires a “nonassertive elegance,” we recommend that you choose a mountain parka with a simple design based on basic colors such as black and navy. It is better to avoid choosing a model with a lot of logos or colorful parts.
