Classic coat

[Bakersman]

Hi had anyone seen any nice winter coats yet? I'm looking for a nice classic one which will go with anything from jeans to an evening out. I'm not too fussed about price (I think) provided it will still be stylish in a few years time.
I generally like fitted/tailored and probably around knee length......

blimey, loads!!!
if you;re not fussed on price, why not start by looking at netaporter and my-wardrobe for ideas, even if not to buy?

From my experience smart coats look silly with jeans. And coats that look great with jeans look silly with smart-eveningy stuff.

I classic full skirt trench will look great with evening stuff, and with skinny jeans but awful with bootcut/wideleg trousers/jeans.

For me, 1 coat does not do it all....

Ok when I said I wasn't too fussy about price I didn't mean I could stretch to some of those Netaporter price....£11,000???? Ouch! However there are some lovely ones to give me ideas, thanks.
Has anyone seen the red one in Karen Millen? I love it but am wondering if it will date quickly?
Also saw a lovely one in Zara today but it was not wool - I just liked the style but its not the quality I am looking for.

I say 2 lovely coats in coast, red, a deeper red than it looks on my screen, and this has lovely sleeves

I bought the Boden Uptown Coat last Week. I love it, it's perfect. £155, really warm and I know I will wear it for years. And I'm not a Boden fan.

i have seen a gorgeous coat in asda of all places. its aubergine colour, trench coat style with layered frills on the back, smart and understated and classic imo.

its about £25 ish, i am buying it as soon as they have my size, been twice already and they STILL havent got it in

I love this one Has pleats at the back which make it a bit more interesting

Max Mara does (expensive) classic coats that don't age for yrs.

Zara always has trendy, nice coats, the best, I reckon, on the high street

I saw that red coat in Coast - it's lovely. (drool)

[francagoestohollywood]

This is perfect, as far as I'm concerned. Shame about the price though

Saw the best coat in the world today, at Whistles in John Lewis. Will try to do linky.

That's lovely Jemart. Are LTS for women of about 5 foot 7 and above?

[jemart]

5 foot 8 and above, so it says on the front page of their website. I'm 5 foot 9.

Have my eye on that coat, waiting patiently for the sale
