Thinking ahead about coats/jackets

[kiki22]

What will you wear this autumn and winter? My birthday is coming up I've asked for money to get a good coat. I'm looking for something versatile, warm and will keep me somewhat dry as I'm in Scotland

[sleepismysuperpower1]

try this one here from cotton traders. kept me toasty warm when on the school run/walking the dog last year x

Practical coat? Im up north too, dont drive, so need something trusty!
Mine is a didricksons stormcoat. Protection-wise, everything else ive ever had pales in comparison. Wind-roof, waterproof,etc.

Leather biker for nowish when it's a little chilly but sometimes the sun comes out.
Red Duffle coat for when it starts to get to the really pretty part of autumn then I'll switch to a navy parka when it starts getting dark rainy and really cold.

I'm looking for something a bit smarter I have a padded bomber and a leather jacket. Something that I can wear to work out for lunch ect but won't look like a tit turning up on the school run.

Ah, me too. I need a new wool coat. Im dreading the search. I always overthink it and go a bit insane 😁

And they never have my preferred colour when i do find ‘the one’.

I have just got this wool coat from Boden and am really pleased with it. The fit is lovely and it feels lovely and warm. I used a 20% discount code. https://www.boden.co.uk/en-gb/hengrave-coat-baltic/sty-t0198-tur

I would love a new coat but I shouldn't. I have two faux fur coats, a faux fur lined biker, a camel wool long coat, an oversized check wool coat, a sea salt coat for dog walking and a tfl parka.

I love this. I got it in dark grey last year and it’s amazingly cosy. It looks good day to day and also out.

It’s from Warehouse. ⬆️

Coats are my favourites! I have a few I swap around, but through autumn/winter I will be wearing:

Leather biker - Whistles
Smart wool coat - Topshop
Faux furs, various colours and styles - Topshop, Zara, ASOS, Whistles
Parka - Whistles
Pea-coat - M&S

I wear the parka in poor weather, the faux furs probably the most, and the smart wool coat infrequently, but it’s a useful thing to have. I tend to buy coats I know I will wear for years, some of these are really ancient, but the parka was last year’s.

@Ellapaella - I like that Boden coat. But I already have the same jeans, top and boots as you so I better not buy it 😂

[Ellapaella]

@TooMinty good taste then 😉😁

[Zenithbear]

Lovely coat Ellapaella
I have far too many coats and jackets - various parkas, leathers, a velvet jacket, wool coat in blues, black, grey, khaki, navy and periwinkle.

[TooMinty]

I like to think so 😊

Boden are good for wool coats, although I have a 10 year old one in a similar style to Ellapaella's that is 100% boiled wool and I've never had a warmer coat so I'd recommend looking for boiled wool. Or the Uniqlo ULD coats and jackets make a good warm thin layer below a not so cozy smart coat.

[oohyoudevilyou]

I want a Mistral coat with the funky odd button arrangement and something in tailored wool...maybe in cream, pale blue or pink for when I need to be smart yet feminine. Oh, and something high tech to keep the elements out when the transport and power systems all grind to a halt in the harsh post-Brexit apocalypse that's approaching.

My budget says last year's Uniqlo duvet coat that makes me look like the Michelin man will suffice.
