The Madrid posh trick to dressing well in autumn starts with these two parkas from Mango

Classic preppy girl style is timeless. That must be acknowledged. They know perfectly well which pieces to invest in to dress elegantly at any time of the year, including the controversial mid-season. For these days when neither cold nor hot (as Alejandro Sanz would say), they always opt for a basic with a trick: the light parka and a thin sweater over the shoulders.

This last detail has been extrapolated to other urban tribes (aka, fashion victims) because it is the ideal way to give just the right touch of color to the outfit -red for example, which is now a pure trend- and a practical way to combat the constant change in temperatures that we suffer throughout the day.

But the pioneers in this detail are, without a doubt, the poshest in Madrid, from whom Mango is undoubtedly inspired to create these two divine light mid-season parkas. Two different designs, but both in a posh style (in English, which is why one of them has a style british).

The classic Barbour-style parka

The Barbour style parka is not missing from any self-respecting posh wardrobe. They need her to spend the weekend in the countryside, hunting, but she has become so recurrent that they even take her for a walk through the Salamanca neighborhood. But beyond the national posh clothes, there are two iconic references to wear this garment (the real one and the fashion one): Kate Middleton and Alexa Chung. This one from Mango is divine to emulate that style without spending hundreds of euros on the ''original'' for 79.99 euros.

The loose cape-effect parka

If you are looking for a classic style, simpler and easier to combine, this design with a loose, cape-type silhouette, which could pass for a short trench coat, is ideal. Its khaki aesthetic is perfect to combine with high equestrian-style boots, but it also fits with tailored pants and loafers. We have it for 59.99 euros.
