Have you started wearing a coat yet?

[TakeMe2Insanity]

Thunderstorms last night, but looking around most people are wearing a hoodie/cardigan and flip flops (in London). It doesn’t feel cold enough for a coat yet but are you wearing a coat?

No I have a thin waterproof jacket that I’ll wear if it rains, but much too warm for my winter coat (if that’s what you mean?)

Yes. It's tipping it down. I wore a coat to reduce the possibility of looking like a drowned rat at work.

No. Just about wearing a waterproof and that's too hot.

A COAT??

I had a cagoul on yesterday because it was tipping it down. But we've not even put the duvet back on.

Yes. It's trench coat season for a few weeks now.
My puffas can wait until December.

No coat yet, I wore a jumper when I went out early morning and carried a brolly.

Yes - but I am in Scotland - just my Joules Right as Rain thing though , not got the parkas out yet.

We don't even have the duvet on yet.

No, I'm in London, and still need the cooling fans on. No need for even a cardigan.

No Although it's cooler than it was, it's incredibly humid here and at 58 I don't seem to have a thermostat anymore
I have a pack it jacket as I hate umbrellas

Not even got the cardigans out yet.

I'm northern.

No, I'm still in T shirts in London and fan on almost constantly (I am menopausal though)

I think I've got a different meaning to coat to you all.
I'm wore a coat this morning. I'm not wearing a cardigan. So, teeshirt and coat. Now I'm inside, I'm just wearing a teeshirt.
Coat can provide warmth, waterproofing or both in my world.
Are you all taking coat to mean for warmth only?

Only my raincoat this morning but summer dress underneath it's still really warm.

I’m wearing a thin raincoat and that was too hot!

No, I was out in a T-shirt yesterday.

Nope, only got to a jumper today. Would need a raincoat today if I was going on the school run but both have playdates. Didn't need any extra layers this morning.

No not yet. I was lucky yesterday though when after being outside coatless for few hours it started pouring with rain when I was driving home!

Yesterday I had to as it tipped down in Cornwall. Today isn't so bad.

I'm in Yorkshire we don't wear a coat until its below 5 degrees blowing a gale with snow hail and rain 🤣 but seriously had my denim jacket on over a dress ( with trainers) but took it off was far too warm.
Got a cagoule in the car and a brolly in case. Still got my summer duvet on .. window open and sometimes fan.
I'm going to Turkey in 3 days it's going to be 32 degrees ...so will probably feel the cold much more when l get back.

Depends what you mean by 'a coat'. It's 13C and raining where I am today, so a light jacket maybe?! I certainly wouldn't want to be wearing what I think of as a proper coat; I'd be melting.

Yesterday I went out in a long-sleeved dress and no jacket/cardigan and it was fine.

No.

Yes (London) - light quilted jacket yesterday over a t-shirt for playground/errands, and trench coat over a smart top for work today. Coats aren't just about warmth, they're a finishing layer for your outfit.

Wearing my new Shacket

I guess by coat I mean something resembling outdoor wear by cardigan/hoody I mean something you wear indoors. Yes I am also wearing a tshirt indoors, windows open (7 months pregnant so hot).
