OK, what winter coat have you all gone for this year? Pics please!

[fartmeistergeneral]

Am in need of inspiration!

[cornsillk]

Me too.

[3littlefrogs]

The same one I have worn for the last 4 years.

[Doyouthinktheysaurus]

There's not many winter coats about at the moment.

I have been looking.

[FlightHattendant]

That one from Kew...half price, was about 100, black mac style very plain really.

Not sure why, it isn't very interesting! But feels nice iykwim. My friend has got the green.

[cornsillk]

linky?

[FlightHattendant]

here if you scroll down a bit, in green - you can't link to it though as it was summer range I think, thus being in the sale.

They still had a few left in ours last week.

[FlightHattendant]

Though this is lovely...

[cornsillk]

Is it very childish to titter at the aquascutum coat on that link?

[cornsillk]

oooh yes moleskin coat is lush.

[pointydog]

Do people get a winter coat every year?

[nowwearefour]

pointydog that was my question too. then i thought well maybe people are just needing to get a new one THIS year - sometimes we all will need to. mine will prob last 10 years before getting renewed though. at least....

[BigGobMum]

that anyone feels the need to get a new winter coat every year! Whatever for?

[fartmeistergeneral]

Oh no! I don't get one every year, but my last one is 3 years old, and though I love it, I just wanted to wear something different this year and splash out! The one I have at the moment, I wore every single day from October til about March!!!

[pointydog]

Poor fart, exclamation marks all over the place .

[fartmeistergeneral]

I know, I had to exclaim a bit about not buying a winter coat every year (!)

[PersonalClownisaShoeWhore]

If I could justify buying myself a new coat, then it would be this!

[ipiratethief]

I might throw my parka in the machine!!

[CybilLiberty]

Brown funnel neck coat from Kew last year. No link I'm afraid. It's quite smart so I will get some sort of eiderdown affair for everyday.

[pointydog]

does the red wig come with that, clown?

[PersonalClownisaShoeWhore]

I hope so... I can never get my hair that colour!!

[FlightHattendant]

Welll....I try not to buy a new coat every year, BUT last year I got a cheapo yucky one from Additions that I thought would look great, unfortunately it has awful buttons, there are only 3 of them toggles actually and NO ZIP so it kind of hangs there, quasi open, and lets all the cold in. Crap.

So yes I bought a decent one that DOES UP this time.

I also got a very fancy one last year in a sale which is kind of a treat, only for special occasions which there are not many of. So am going to use it properly this year when it is too cold for mac.

I tend to buy something nice and useful if I see it - iyswim. and I keep all the coats...I must have a good few by now - don't just chuck them. Saying that the ones I got 10 years ago and never actually wear, but love all the same, I kid myself I'll wear them again. It's like holding onto the old me, in a way.

[lambanana]

last years

[Kbear]

we are buying winter coats already? come on, I've hardly even cracked opened the sun cream yet!!

[Meglet]

I have a 3 year old long duvet coat from Zara and as it's so cosy I'm going to see if they have any similar ones this year. They are a bit euro-trash but I don't care.
