For many people the changing of seasons from summer to winter can be a great excuse for a little wardrobe revamp...bring on the cosy clothes! Lighthouse Clothing would love you to share your favourite pieces from their site, as well as telling us a special memory you have of the outdoors.

Here’s what Lighthouse Clothing has to say: “Lighthouse Clothing is a purpose led brand, committed to creating well crafted clothing with a strong sense of style. Our coastal leisurewear collections give a strong nod to the nautical, as we celebrate our love for the coast and simple island living.

^Based in Belfast and born from the philosophy that the most memorable moments in life are often the simplest ones. We encourage the wanderer and sea lover in us all to step outside and embrace those unhurried moments, shared with those who matter.
Our design team research everything from new materials to trending styles. New fabrics are tested and developed to improve style and function. Each design is refined, each colour palette is considered and in the end when each garment has been perfected, it is added to our collection.”^

Which items do you love the look of and why? Take a look at their website and post the link of your favourites on the thread below.

We would also love you to share a special memory and/or moment you experienced in the outdoors. Did you have a special first date strolling along the beach? Perhaps you and your family had a great day out exploring the outdoors? Or maybe it’s simply that you have great memories of going for a walk on your own to help you relax?

Whichever your favourite items are, post them on the thread below and tell us a special outdoor memory and you’ll be entered into a prize draw where two MNers will win a £150 Lighthouse voucher and one MNer will win a £300 voucher of their choice (from a list).

Thanks and good luck!

love the colour and style- and the fact its fleece lined.

great outdoor memory is climbing mountainous areas- taking in views and the peacefulness the outdoors can bring.

Mindblank · 17/09/2018 22:33

I love this www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/womens-raincoats-jackets/products/abby-waterproof-nautical-rain-jacket-scarlet

I used to love walking on the beach with my husband after work- brilliant way to wind down after a bad day at work!

I'm really impressed with the clothes especially the prints on the kids clothes. I've gone with the breton top because I can never have too many as I'm always on the search for the perfect Breton, and it has a zip on the back!

One of my fave outdoor memories was last Halloween. I had taken the kids away for a few days and we went on really long walk in the woods. It was very atmospheric and we saw bats 🦇

Kraggle · 17/09/2018 23:24

My daughter lives in dresses and would look lovely in this one.

My favourite memory is walking in Center Parcs in the evening with all the Christmas lights out. Magical.

Imgettingcheesefries · 17/09/2018 23:31

I really like this www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/iona-warm-padded-waterproof-coat-sunrise I love the colour

Favourite outdoor memory is last year taking my then 2 year old to a fireworks display, she thought it was so magical and was so excited and she still talks about it now

I love this green, Breton tops are perfect casual wear for outdoor adventures, I also saw that some of the coats have matching rain hats..this would be awesome for wet school runs!

Outdoors is where I feel calmest. Taking my daughter on her first camping trip is probably my best outdoor memory, we built a fire and let her stay up to watch the stars come out one by one, she loved it and so did we.

Dorkdiary · 18/09/2018 08:40

I love the floral jacket because it is different to the jackets I've seen in other shops and it looks cosy.

But I also love the length on this one.

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/womens-raincoats-jackets/products/paige-waterproof-breathable-parka-coat-blue-sail

Favourite outdoor memory is living by the sea and winter walks in the months where tourists have all gone home and we have the beach to ourselves. Miss it !

MiniTheMinx · 18/09/2018 08:45

I like this sweatshirt
www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/womens-sweatshirts/products/shore-half-zip-cotton-jersey-sweatshirt-midnight-solid?variant=6867965313070
We do a lot of walking at the weekends. This looks practical and stylish. I don't have anything like this, so I'm quite tempted to order it.

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/faye-warm-padded-waterproof-coat-ocean-deep

This coat looked great for my walk to school. As a teacher I have to look smart but love to be comfortable. This would look great with my dresses but equally as good with jeans and wellies at the weekend.

My greatest outdoor memory was 12 years ago. It was a cold, wet miserable October holiday that we had gone to Blackpool. My son was 3 and unfortunately due to his autism had never spoken a word. He suddenly said “Tram”. We couldn’t believe it as we were told he may never be able to speak.

I could have done with the coat above that week as we spent hours sitting on a bench, wrapped in a blanket watching “TRAM, TRAM,TRAM”. One of the best days of my life.

HELENSCRESCENT · 18/09/2018 10:19

I absolutely love this dress:
www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/anna-cotton-dress-washed-denim
Its casual but still looks tidy, i imagine sitting in a country pub on a sunday in it.

My favourite memory is of autumn at our local country park, walking by the lake and through the woods with the children kicking leaves and collecting sticks and us all sitting at the side of the lake drinking hot chocolates and giggling at out chocolatey moustaches. It makes me feel happy whenever i remember or look at photos. Felt like a really special day and makes me feel all autumanal.

voyager50 · 18/09/2018 11:23

I love this top

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/womens-tops/products/causeway-long-sleeve-breton-top-ocean-deep-hex

and this sweatshirt

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/products/shore-cotton-jersey-sweatshirt-blue-sail-marl

I love being outdoors - one of my favourite trips was sitting by the beach in Norfolk with my extended family for my Grandmother's 90th last year - it was windy and cloudy but we still enjoyed out picnic and time together as a family.

OrdinarySnowflake · 18/09/2018 13:38

I like this dress

Favourite outdoor memory - hard to pick, but think picnic by a lake after a bike ride around said lake with DCs is pretty high up.

Pinkkahori · 18/09/2018 13:39

I love the Harper coat - perfect for wet days and looks smart and comfortable.

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/products/harper-waterproof-fleece-lined-coat-urban-grey

My favourite outdoor memory is of recent trip to the Giant's Causeway and Carrick a Rede rope bridge in beautiful County Antrim. The rain fell in bucket loads but the scenery was so lovely and all the staff so warm and friendly that no one seemed to care.

SargeantAngua · 18/09/2018 16:09

I love this coat - cosy and smart too www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/womens-clothing/products/raven-warm-fleece-lined-waterproof-coat-plum

I have lots of happy memories of the outdoors, I used to do a lot of walking, climbing and camping, but I've been ill for a few years now though so am a lot more restricted and those memories are in some way painful too now. 2 years ago though my fiance and I went to the lake district, where I'd had many happy adventures in my "previous life". We cajoled my little mobility scooter up the accessible path on Latrigg. It was wet and cold, but felt wonderful to be on a hill again!

Love this hat, would be great for winter walks!
Special outdoor memory is being proposed to whilst skiing in Austria. Love the Alps which made it even more special.

llamaparades · 18/09/2018 17:33

I love this coat www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/womens-clothing/products/raven-waterproof-breathable-warm-low-hip-jacket-sunset looks so warm and bright. It's also yellow which I love at the moment.

My favourite outdoor memory is walking along the coast in Norfolk and having the beach to ourselves, me dh and DS. I just loved the peace and calm and being able to just relax and take in the moment. I hope there are many more of these moments to come.

caramelchaos · 18/09/2018 18:22

Oh my god. I've had my eye on a lighthouse coat for ages. My fav is:
www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/harper-waterproof-fleece-lined-coat-urban-grey
But, as with a lot of parents, a lot of money goes on dressing the kids and I end up buying cheap stuff!

I've lived by the sea all my life and spend a lot of time walking there. My best memory is taking the dcs to the beach and taking part in a beach cleanup. There was an amazing sense of camaraderie and a lovely bbq and get together at the end.

SinkGirl · 18/09/2018 18:32

Love this tunic, great for throwing on while chasing the kids around!
www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/anna-cotton-dress-washed-denim

My favourite outdoor memory was taking my twins to the beach for the first time - they found the sea hilarious. Need to keep taking them through the winter so I’ll definitely be needing some of these coats!

sarat1 · 18/09/2018 19:17

Love the Atlantic Coat with Whale Print as my little one loves all things splishy splashy :) www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/boys-coats-jackets/products/atlantic-waterproof-rain-coat-whale-print

JeSuisPrest · 18/09/2018 19:31

Love the Iona coat in Sunrise. Perfect for cheering up a damp autumn day.

My favourite outdoor memory is crabbing with my daughter at Mevagissey Harbour in Cornwall this summer and realising we were probably catching the same crabs day in day out. We thought we were the clever ones but the crabs were getting a delicious free meal 3 times a day every day for 6 weeks, so I think they were the smart ones Grin

I really like this coat Iona coat in Sunrise - waterproof but a bit more padded than a classic Yellow raincoat.

I also like the Anna dress. It’s nice and casual and looks good with flat boots.

I live in a beautiful part of the country so love getting my son out to see the views if I can.

Carriecakes80 · 18/09/2018 20:29

I would love this coat for my young girls - its stunning. And even they said they liked the design! www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/amelia-waterproof-fleece-lined-coat-raindrop-print

My favourite memory of the outdoors is when I was a single Mum to my boys...I was working full time, barely getting any time with them, but we made Sunday our day, the day where we did anything they wanted. They always chose a walk up to our local monument. We would hike up there with sandwiches and a thermos of hot Chocolate that ALWAYS leaked, but the smell of the grass and the Heather, the cold air blowing away any of the weeks cobwebs, and the taste of Peanut Butter in the open air, and the gorgeous views of Buckinghamshire woods and hills... I miss those days! x

boddtm · 18/09/2018 20:38

Absolutely in love with this coat

I tend to find myself dressing in dull clothes in Autumn, but these would put a definite Spring in my step! Grin

My favourite memory of this time of year was getting absolutely soaked on a family walk. DH and I turned around to tell the kids we'd better head back home and found them all dancing in the rain - so we joined them! Hot chocolate and cookies when we eventually got back - perfect!

VeganCow · 18/09/2018 22:46

I love this coat, perfect for my dog walks.

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/products/harper-waterproof-fleece-lined-coat-urban-grey

Favourite outdoor memory is taking my kids camping for the first time, 10 years ago. We weren’t sure if we would like it so only bought a tent, air beds and sleeping bags. Had no other equipment as didn’t want to spend lots. We loved it and got the camping bug. We go several times a year and have every piece of camping gear possible now.
