Can anyone recommend a girls hooded thin black raincoat for on top of a thick blazer? Struggling to find something - M&S have a decent looking one but its fur lined!

DD has one from Uniqlo.

Ds has a regatta one. Ideal. Fits in his bag
I bought it one size bigger so it goes over the blazer

Got my DD a Karrimor one from sports direct, it’s been fully tested in rain this week and has worked!

We got an M&S one which is a lightweight puffer. Not sure if it will be good enough for proper winter but good for now. Goes over the blazer which I liked.

Buy a womenswear size rather than child size. Primark used to do a thin mid-thigh length raincoat with poppers and hood that fits over blazer.

Uniqlo.

We bought one from New Look, it’s just a plain black waterproof with no puffiness, and she also has a thicker coat in the wardrobe ready for when the weather is colder. I have been pleasantly surprised that given the price point it has been a good quality coat so far, and is fully waterproof. It’s also the same or very similar to what lots of other girls at school wear, which matters to her, as having a coat in any other colour will apparently turn you into some kind of social pariah.

I got an XS women’s one from George

Uniqlo in an adults size. It squishes right down so fits easily into bags
