Liam Gallagher in Berghaus Dean Street’s latest campaign - (Berghaus Dean Street)

Though the Britpop renaissance has been on the go for a while now (see mini mullets à la Paul Mescal, preppy polo shirts, Nineties jeans, @brit_cult et al.), the Oasis reunion that was announced earlier this year seems to have given the trend a new lease of life – and there’s nothing more central to the look than the parka. 

It’s no wonder, then, that the practical-meets-grungy-meets-cool outerwear staple is back for 2024. And it’s seemingly bigger than ever before. They come sherpa-lined. You can opt for waterproof styles or insulated puffers. You can even go for countryside-ready waxed cotton options which are more Sloane Ranger than they are Gallagher-coded (yet another trend which is on the up this year).
