Can we have a coat thread?

[seri0usly]

Perhaps we could share coats we've just bought, planning to buy or simply admiring? When do the main ranges start filtering through? I seem to remember the decent ones selling out in Sept so you have to be quick.

After pregnancy and breastfeeding for years I really need several new - a non frumpy rain mac, a trench? A warm winter every day coat, a couple of flattering smart wool coats (navy and light grey?) and something else lightweight and casual!

Particularly keen to discover lovely wool coats as not found any yet!

[Strawclutching]

Watching as I'm planning a winter coat too. I'm going to buy a short navy trench coat and one other so I'm look for ideas. I've been saving all summer!

[Lostaussie]

Marking my place for coat stalking!

[Jaimx86]

There are some lovely ones on sale at Maje uk.maje.com/en/outlet-sales/coats-and-jackets/
The only issue is I want about 5 of them.

Place marking! I got this Savannah Miller one for a bargain price in the spring sales

Love it as it has a huge hood, pockets, and a removable quilt lining, so hope that will see me through those hot/cold autumn days.
I'd love something in a deep raspberry pink colour for winter

I want one of those lightweight longline coats - hard to describe - a boxy shape, in a colour - saw a girl in a mustard one the other day and it was fab. But I just can't seem to be able to find them ! I live in London and it's too warm for proper coats most of the year but a longline lightweight jacket-fabric coat looks great for work I think ....
Does anyone have the slightest idea what I'm going on about ?!

[ootsideinbacktaefront]

I want a navy trench, let me know if you find one.

[Ilovetea82]

I am pregnant and have got this:

Coat for winter, basically should accommodate a growing bump!

[sureitsgrand]

Yes, looking for some ideas! Nothing jumping out at me so far on my browsing

[insuranceidiot]

I'm a big girl (size 18-20) and I'm having major difficulty finding something which doesn't make me look like a truck

[taybert]

I like this Ted Baker but it's a bit more than I wanted to spend. Also I'm only 5'3" so it'll be about mid calf which isn't a look as far as I'm aware!

[Believeitornot]

I got one from joules which was lovely but it faded after one wash (30C hand wash setting ) a long version of this

they have a boxy short mustard one

I bought a replacement coat for work and will use the faded one for when I'm mucking with the kids at the park. It's from sea salt here

[Believeitornot]

That Ted baker one is amazing. I'm this >< close to buying it

[misstiggiwinkle]

I've been after a mid thigh length, black, waterproof, down padded coat with real fur hood since last year but haven't found the right thing that isn't £600+! If anyone spots one please let me know

[Ookmybanana]

I've just become the proud owner of this www.harveynichols.com/brand/harris-wharf-london/womens/166201-navy-flared-wool-coat/p2759411/ and I love it. It's more than I wanted to spend but I fell in love and if it lasts as long as my last wool coat, then it's not too bad. Or that's what I keep telling myself!

[SimplyNigella]

I have ordered and returned this coat twice now. I love it so much and it really suits me, however I either work from home or commute to work in my car so rarely wear a coat during the week and my weekends are spent running around with a toddler so it's not the most practical of purchases.

I cannot promise I won't order it again.

[Jaimx86]

Misst - would this work. Real fur £250

[Jaimx86]

Or this one reduced to £230?

[WholeL0ttaRosie]

I bought this the other day, it had a further discount so came in at £30 and is very flattering on (I'm short and busty) it's not wool but for that price I'm not bothered.

[celeryisnotasuperfood]

Joining in... I think I want a wool type coat but will hang nicely if it's not done up because I will sometimes be carrying a baby. And to go with it a nice waterproof hat so I can use it for a daily nursery walk for the older girl even when it's rainy.
A parka/raincoat is probably more practical but I want to look pretty not functional!
Love the Ted baker one linked to earlier...

[Cellardoor23]

I've been looking for a winter coat too! I can't seem to find any I like. I want a smart coat that I can wear if I go out to a nice restraunt but can also wear everyday. Preferably with a hood! I'm finding it quite diffiuclt to find a smart jacket that has a hood though.

I looked at the Barbour jackets and they were ok. Didn't seem very flexible around the arm. I like the army style jackets with the buttons but they seem to put alot of shoulder padding in them and I only have small arms! It looks ridiculous on me.

I'm finding it so difficult

[Cellardoor23]

I have a baby too so it also has to be functional but I want it to be smart. Is that possible?

[Pippin8]

I have the Ted baker, but in camel & the shorter version. It's seen me through 2 winters & it still looks amazing. I love it, it's quite heavy but it's warm & you can wear the neck in a few different styles.

Last year I got a black Mac from Hobbs, which I also love, but it's a bit more formal. I'd love a navy coat this year.

[Cellardoor23]

believeitornot I was looking at that yellow coat the other day. I've seen a few people with it, it's nice. Didn't suit me though my hips have got wider so I had to try a bigger size but was too big on the top! Gave me no shape at all. I like the look of the sea salt one.

ook that's a gorgeous coat

[Believeitornot]

Yes Cellar it is literally like a box very comfortable but gives no shape at all

The sea salt one is much better.
