Portuguese fashion label Parfois has introduced a bright terracotta transitional coat designed for early autumn wardrobes, featuring contrasting burgundy corduroy detailing on the collar and cuffs.
The outerwear piece, priced at 69.99 euros, offers a vibrant alternative to traditional dark autumn clothing while providing a mid-season layer as temperatures begin to cool.
Although Parfois classifies the garment as a coat, its cut and length closely resemble a classic parka jacket. The design features a straight, slightly loose silhouette with a front zip fastening, two large front patch pockets, and a smaller zipped chest pocket.
Design details and colour options
The defining characteristics of the garment are its contrasting burgundy corduroy elements. An oversized corduroy collar serves as one of its main features, complemented by matching corduroy trim at the sleeve cuffs.
The primary shade is an intense tile red intended to bring brightness to cold weather dressing. Corduroy, a durable ribbed cotton fabric, is traditionally associated with autumn outerwear, adding tactile texture to the smooth body of the garment.
For buyers seeking a more traditional aesthetic, Parfois has also produced the garment in dark green. This alternative version retains the exact same burgundy corduroy collar and cuff details, offering a classic option for autumn outfits.
Styling ideas and outfit combinations
To demonstrate how to wear the item during the transition between seasons, Parfois paired the coat with wide-leg white jeans, an electric blue jumper, and brown loafers. The styling shows how late-summer garments can remain in rotation alongside autumn outerwear.
The coat can also be paired with blue jeans, midi skirts, or trousers in neutral shades including chocolate brown, beige, and khaki green. Tops ranging from lightweight sweatshirts and fine knit jumpers to classic striped t-shirts and shirts complement the cut.
Founded in Porto in 1994, Parfois is a fashion and accessories brand known for affordable footwear, bags, and seasonal apparel. The new release reflects a broader trend in transitional fashion that emphasizes bright earth tones and versatile layering options for shifting weather.
