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.”^

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!

Hard to pick! I'd love either of these great coats in any of the colours!
www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/womens-new-in/products/florence-waterproof-breathable-warm-mid-thigh-parka-grey

So practical and stylish too.

My husband has millions of coats already but would look handsome in this:

We're always outdoors but my favourite memory this year is of walking in the snowy woods with our then 6 week old daughter. It was so quiet and beautiful, and baby slept cosily in her sling on daddy, aww!

Belmo · 20/09/2018 13:08

Ooh there’s a few nice bits! I really needs new coat and like this one:
www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/iona-warm-padded-waterproof-coat-midnight

Hard to pick just one favourite memory! Paddling in a stream with my grandmother as a child is probably my favourite ❤️

llynnnn · 20/09/2018 13:09

I love this, it looks so comfy and wearable www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/anna-cotton-dress-washed-denim

I also love this jacket, www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/raven-warm-fleece-lined-waterproof-coat-black it looks really warm and will go with everything

i'd have to chose this for dd2, www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/belle-jersey-long-sleeve-dress-blue-stripe think it would really suit her

my favourite family outdoor memory was last october time, we went for a walk around our local woods, we took a flask of hot choc and some biscuits with us and sat on a bench under a tree drinking it after our walk as it started to rain! the air felt so fresh and crisp and everyone else left because of the rain so it was very quiet and was so good to be out in the air!

Changingagain · 20/09/2018 14:45

My son would like this top as he loves the rain and while he's little he doesn't care that it's marketed at girls. He'd also like this coat as he's just a little bit obsessed with rockets and all things space.

For me, I'd like this top in either plum stripe or midnight stripe as it looks comfortable yet stylish. I'd also like this beanie because I like a cosy hat when it's cold out.

My favourite outdoors memory is a recent one of my son bouncing along Blackpool prom in the wind and rain shouting "I'm so happy now" repeatedly when he first saw the lights in the dark.

eightyeightmilesperhour · 20/09/2018 15:08

This coat looks super warm and it's my favourite colour too! Some really gorgeous clothes on this site.

My favourite outdoor memory is taking my pre-school DCs out walking in the woods in Autumn. They loved walking in the leaves and splashing in muddy puddles. The fact that they are now grown up moody teenagers who never want to go out makes me a little sad, but it's a lovely memory to look back on. They grow up way too fast!

Ratbagcatbag · 20/09/2018 15:58

Ooooooh your marketing may have worked on me. There's some lovely stuff on there. Especially for my daughter. I love the coats.

Anyway. My item id love for now is this: www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/products/aria-warm-padded-waterproof-coat-ocean-deep-hex

My favourite outdoor memory is sitting having a picnic watching a stunning sunset and the stars coming out on a hill in Derbyshire. It was just beautiful and is one of the most amazing things I've just sat and done.

elena7475 · 20/09/2018 18:16

I like grey one. www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/products/harper-waterproof-fleece-lined-coat-urban-grey
Looks comfortable

My favourite memory of outside when in autumn I walked through park and kicked fallen leaves 🍁 I still like to do it.

Cotswoldmama · 20/09/2018 18:51

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/outback-full-length-waterproof-raincoat-urban-grey I love this coat, it’s stylish and practical! My family and I spent a lot of time outside on walks in the woods and sometimes getting lost!

Ariclock · 20/09/2018 19:42

I love this fleece, it looks so cosy and soft :) www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/ted-full-zip-soft-sherpa-fleece-ocean-blue

flamingtoaster · 20/09/2018 19:53

I love this Raven Coat in Plum www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/raven-warm-fleece-lined-waterproof-coat-plum Perfect for winter walks on the beach or the Country Park.

My special outdoor memory is my first date with my husband which was a picnic in a ruined castle overlooking a beach.

Ali1cedowntherabbithole · 20/09/2018 20:23

I picked out this gorgeous bright coat to keep me warm & dry. And have been looking at this stripey grey polo neck to wear underneath.

I’d need a hat to keep warm on colder days and I’ll be all set for October our half-term break in Paris.

One of my favourite outdoor memories is when DH & I were first living together and went to visit Great Aunt in North Wales, with our new puppy. We stayed in a lovely dog friendly B&B but didn’t have many options for our evening meals. The weather in Wales was the traditional stair-rods and the poor soggy pup had his tail between his legs most of the time, wondering why he had been dragged away from his perfectly comfortable spot by the fire. Again.

One evening we bought fish & chips and ate them in a bus stop as all three of us huddled together and sheltered from the rain and I swear to this day, they were the best chips I’ve ever eaten. Perfect, hot, salty comfort food for a cold, wet night. I’ve since eaten in far fancier places than Colwyn Bay seafront, but I still remember the taste of those wonderful chips.

ShannonRockallMalin · 20/09/2018 20:25

Ooh, love this dress! www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/womens-new-in/products/anna-cotton-dress-washed-denim
Exactly my style, good for work and weekends with coloured tights and boots!

So many great outdoor memories, but braving a massive thunderstorm on a Norfolk beach huddled in a tiny beach tent with the kids was amazing!

Whyisitsodifficult · 20/09/2018 21:14

My daughter would love this jacket.
www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/girls-coats-jackets/products/amelia-waterproof-fleece-lined-coat-pink

My favourite outside memories are sunset in Ibiza.

margaritasbythesea · 20/09/2018 21:43

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/florence-waterproof-breathable-warm-mid-thigh-parka-grey

I like the length and the colour of this.

My children and I spend long days on the beach. It is also on our way home from school so I sometimes take a picnic tea and stop off there to have it. One beautiful summer evening I was eating my sandwich on the beach in the sunshine while my children giggled and played and three dolphins hunted about a hundred metres off the shore. I hope I never forget that one.

Anj123 · 20/09/2018 21:48

I love this coat www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/harper-waterproof-fleece-lined-coat-plum

The colour, plum, is gorgeous and this coat is so versatile and practical I would wear it loads!

I started walking to work and back in recent years to get some exercise. I especially love walking in when the daffodils are out as they look so cheerful and remind me that my favourite time of year is o. The way. 😃

Cismyfatarse1 · 20/09/2018 22:26

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/womens-dresses-tunics/products/annabelle-cotton-jersey-dress-scarlet-stripe

Love this striped number - great for summer holidays and into autumn.

Outdoors is a wonder where I live. So, trips to the beach, walks. My favourite memories often involve getting cold and wet but coming home to the warm and dry.

CharliesNan · 20/09/2018 22:53

I love this Florence coat in grey. It looks so warm, ideal for the school run. www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/womens-raincoats-jackets/products/florence-waterproof-breathable-warm-mid-thigh-parka-grey

One of my favourite memories is finally finding a secret waterfall in Llanberis, North Wales, the village where my grandfather lived. I could just imagine him and my grandmother in that beautiful hidden valley.

Vole3 · 20/09/2018 22:56

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/womens-raincoats-jackets/products/outrider-waterproof-mid-length-raincoat-urban-grey

This would be perfect for our favourite year round activity of puddle jumping.
Long enough to keep you dry, but not long enough to get splashed

JellySlice · 20/09/2018 23:48

I like this trenchcoat. Just what I'm looking for. But there are mistakes on the size chart: no way a size 16 coat had a 61.5cm chest!

Outdoor memory: swimming in lakes and rivers in the Lake District. Amazing. Icy cold, but utterly beautiful and worth the hike. Peaceful, too, once you've got past the gasping shock!

SD1978 · 21/09/2018 09:45

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/girls-dresses-tops/products/belle-denim-dress-washed-denim

I love clothes where little girls get to look like little girls. Favourite outdoor- getting to fly home and spend time with family on our favourite place- incholm island- exploding the ruins and having fun looking for seals.

madmumm · 21/09/2018 10:46

I love this sweatshirt, lovely blue colour and looks warm and cosy perfect for this current weather. www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/womens-sweatshirts/products/shore-cotton-jersey-sweatshirt-ocean-deep
We've recently moved to the country and a perfect warm evening is spent in the garden watching the bats and hearing the owls nearby, makes us realise how special it is.

JulesJules · 21/09/2018 11:03

Love these Causeway Breton tops - www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/causeway-long-sleeve-breton-top-sunrise-midnight-stripe

I've got a very fond memory of a Lake District walk with my Mum and Dad, husband and D1 when she was quite tiny - along Derwent Water, from the boat landings to Friar's Crag and back, then we went out on a boat trip around the lake.

mummyofcutetwo · 21/09/2018 11:08

Oh my goodness! I’d not heard of Lighthouse Clothing before but when I opened the website just now I instantly fell in love with the Florence coat - and then a bobble hat - then a bobbleless hat... And then I saw this www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/anna-cotton-dress-washed-denim?variant=8238784938030. The dress of my dreams! I just love it, and it’s what I was looking for earlier this year (why oh why did I not know of you then?!).

My favourite memories of being outside are all on the beach. From walking on the beach with my parents and siblings, battling against the wind - always with a comforting cup of hot chocolate at the end. To going on a local beach clean in March this year with my two children - my goodness, it was cold!! I offered them a hot choc to warm up afterwards - and they choose ice creams! 😂

MrsRobert · 21/09/2018 15:09

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/faye-warm-padded-waterproof-coat-ocean-deep The Faye coat is a gorgeous colour and looks practical for the unpredictable Autumn weather. Not too warm but padded and waterproof!

My favourite outdoor memory is bringing my baby to the beach for the first time with my husband last year. The weather was amazing and we had a happy day simply playing in the sand!
