What colour winter coat would you say to go with everything?

I have a lot of black coats but I also have a forest green coat that I wear surprisingly often

Depends on what colours you normally wear.

Red works for me. I wear lots of green, teal, brown, red, blue, some black.

I have lots of coats but an elderly dark purple one goes with most things. Some people look ace in beige/neutral, though it makes me look like a potato.

Interested in this thread?

I've got a really nice petrol blue one that goes with everything

GertrudeWilloughby · 17/01/2019 17:18

I had a winter white coat the other year, it went with almost everything apart from pure white. Which I don't wear, so that wasn't a problem! Grin

Grey

Khaki.

I've just ditched my black one after I was nearly run over by a Prius with its headlights off. I didn't hear him and he didn't see me. My new one is cream, its ok but shows every speck of dirt.

Shocking pink. It's a neutral, believe it or not.

AmphetamineGazelle · 17/01/2019 17:54

Leopard print. But I am a manics fan so believe leopard is the only acceptable colour for a coat.

Dragonglass · 17/01/2019 18:01

grey

Whyareweallhere · 17/01/2019 18:09

Anyone have any recommendations for a good warm waterproof one?

I’ve got a bright pink one and everyone likes it!

HavelockVetinari · 17/01/2019 18:18

I've got a cream and red cross-hatched one from Coast that goes with everything - I don't wear pink/pastels in Winter so it goes with most things.

ComicsansHorror · 17/01/2019 18:28

Charcoal is the most versatile coat colour in my experience

Satchell · 17/01/2019 18:35

Navy here.

Doobigetta · 17/01/2019 19:40

I can’t think of a colour that grey wouldn’t go with.
Navy is good with everything except black.
Purple and burgundy are good with everything except bright red.
Dark green not good with red (elf) or brown (Robin Hood)
Grey, on balance.

AGoodMandarin · 17/01/2019 19:43

Camel. Looks classy on most people as long as you get the right shade and it doesn’t wash you out.

Daisymay2 · 17/01/2019 19:45

Bright pink for me too. The only thing I don't wear it with is a purple dress

Laiste · 17/01/2019 19:46

White or off white. Like handbags, white goes with everything but gets grubby easily.

I had navy last year and it went with a lot, but not as much as i thought it would. Wasn't keen on it with chocolate brown. My favorite boots are brown.

Houseonahill · 17/01/2019 19:49

I just got a lovely khaki one from regatta, it was £40 instead of £100 in the sale don't know if the same is still on, I've honestly never had a coat as warm and wind proof it's delightful.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 17/01/2019 19:51

Khaki one

kaytee87 · 17/01/2019 19:52

I have a khaki, long, warm, waterproof berghaus coat with a hood. It's brilliant.
