Winter Gear: Juno Active Parka is the warmest thing I've ever worn ever

This has been one of the most brutal winters ever here in Chicago…and I would have died…literally…DIED without my long line parka from Juno Active. Here’s a cold, hard fact: It doesn’t matter how cute you look in your flirty wool blend coat with a ruffle trim…if you lose your nose to frostbite, you will be wishing that you wrapped yourself in a nice warm parka like this one from Juno Active.

This parka runs big, so I recommend sizing down unless you want to wear super bulky sweaters underneath it. The pintucks at the center of the coat add a nice little detail around the two way zipper…and there’s some elastic in the side for shaping, but it’s not adjustable…so if you want more shape, add a belt!

It’s like wearing a big warm blanket…I’ve never felt so free from the weather! The detachable hood is nice too, in case you want to wear some of your cute winter hats for some flair. 🙂

This is my favorite bear hat that I bought at a street kiosk in New York City last year.

Sometimes its hard to find winter gear in extended, plus sizes, but thankfully, Juno Active (formerly Junonia) has great parkas and winter staples available in sizes 1X-6X. Here are a few other options to keep you warm!
