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!

For me I'm torn between www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/raven-waterproof-breathable-warm-low-hip-jacket-urban-grey and www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/iona-warm-padded-waterproof-coat-midnight they both look like really durable outdoor coats (great for dog walking!)
For me a special memory for me is the first day we got our dog ( rescue) and took him walking on the beach, he was so excited and was leaping about like a kangaroo in the water with the kids.

Cremolafoam · 21/09/2018 20:48

This is the exact colour I’ve been looking for ! Perfect bargain for autumn.
Kicking autumn leaves high in the air while running to keep up with our sausage dog, Enzo. Priceless memory.

I liked [https://www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/emmie-cotton-jersey-top-raindrop this] for my DD.

Special outdoor moment was whale watching in the sun this summer with my family. Just lovely to be outside on the sea in the sun seeing such fab sights.

One last try with link! link here

Some of my earliest memories are of playing in the woods close to my childhood home with my sister and friends, making dens, 'man traps', and feeding the wild ponies carrots and apples or whatever we could beg from my mum for them. So many wonderful holidays by the seaside too, most often wrapped up a bit behind a windbreak but still enjoying the family time, a quick paddle because you had to - then back to the blanket and the sandy picnic, and warm squash in a flask.

Another fond memory of the outdoors is DS's first summer holiday, on the North Yorkshire Moors. We stayed in an airbnb right by the beach and we spent the whole time outside and it was glorious.

I'm surprised by how many things I love on the Lighthouse website. My favourite items are the following:

Florence coat - rare to get a stylish looking coat which covers your bum: www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/womens-raincoats-jackets/products/florence-waterproof-breathable-warm-mid-thigh-parka-grey

I also love this top:

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/womens-raincoats-jackets/products/florence-waterproof-breathable-warm-mid-thigh-parka-grey

Just what I'm looking for to wear this winter. Waterproof and warm, great for walking to town every day.

I have many great outdoor memories, in particular a lovely few days this year at Tenby, the weather was amazing, warm enough to swim in the sea.

ProseccoThyme · 21/09/2018 23:43

I love the Florence coat in Bramble:

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/products/florence-waterproof-breathable-warm-mid-thigh-parka-coat-bramble?variant=6867937656878

I tried it on last year & will be buying one of the last few in stock on payday. It's a beautiful colour & flattering fit. Perfect for the walk to school in the Scottish winter.

My favourite memory is collecting autumn leaves to make a collage for DD's wall - this would be perfect to wear!

I like a functional coat that looks fun

Best outdoor memories are those when I'm out on the moor walking alone and come across deer. Sometimes we are both surprised to see each other

Alevel · 22/09/2018 09:39

Wow I love the clothes. Why have I never seen this website before?

My favourite outdoor memory is swimming in the river as a child at Bolton Abby then walking to the Strid and having a picnic. I do it with my children now and they love it too.

So hard to choose a favourite on the site but I do love this jacket. Perfect for a family walk and still stylish

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 22/09/2018 15:49

I like this because it reminds me of the caped coats that Georgette Heyer heroes always wear.

Best outdoor memory = paddling in the river at Chatsworth with my friend as teens, whilst wishing Mr Darcy would wander over and take us into the house for afternoon tea.

Alohagirl · 22/09/2018 16:16

I love this dress, it’s actually exactly what I have been after, perfect with some tights and ankle boots.
www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/new-in/products/anna-cotton-dress-washed-denim

My favourite memory is from when I was 19 in Perth, Australia. I spent a hot summers evening on the beach with my best friends talking into the wee hours, watching shooting stars and the moon set over the ocean. Magical.

MrsGannicus · 22/09/2018 19:05

This full length waterproof coat looks amazing for school runs in the winter.

My favourite outdoor memory is our three week honeymoon in the Scottish Highlands and Islands. We had a fantastic time in all weathers and saw some incredible scenery.

OrdinaryGirl · 22/09/2018 19:19

All my boys would love this rocket top.
www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/products/oliver-cotton-long-sleeve-top-rocket
My special outdoor memory was the first time we took our first baby to the sea - it was Watergate Bay and he was 8 months old. The beach was completely empty and bathed in this pale wintry light. I held him up over my head like the baboon in the Lion King, and showed him to the ocean, and showed the ocean to him. 🌊

Schmoochypoos · 22/09/2018 20:00

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/products/faye-waterproof-breathable-warm-low-hip-cotton-jacket-shadow-floral Love this coat, beautiful print for autumn

My favourite outdoor memory is walking along the beach in the summer, with my children and husband, it was pouring with rain but we didn’t care! Something magic about rain on a calm
Sea

KingBobra · 22/09/2018 20:34

This coat www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/sale-womens-coats-jackets-tops/products/florence-waterproof-breathable-warm-mid-thigh-parka-coat-ocean-deep - but it has sold out. Gorgeous colour, perfect length.

My favourite outdoor memory is going to the sea for my birthday, aged 5, because my parents said we could do whatever I wanted. It was in January. It was freezing, but brilliant.

Nigglenaggle · 22/09/2018 21:40

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/womens-raincoats-jackets/products/iona-warm-padded-waterproof-coat-urban-grey what a great looking coat, wish I'd seen this before I bought mine last year - yay to an item of womens clothing with decent pockets, I've had to buy a bag to complement the one I have now. Looks warm too.

I've had some lovely outdoor woodland moments with the kids, but I think my favourite is before we had them (sorry kids!) when DH and I were living in Moscow. Must have been Feb/Mar when it was not so cold you couldn't stand outside at night, but still snow on the ground and the stars were out. We walked along the top at Sparrow Hills with a beer each and put the world to rights for hours. If you don't know Moscow, Sparrow Hills is a tall hill on the edge of the city, so you can look across the city while it's all lit up, with the magnificent building that is Moscow State University behind you. I'd love to have that night again. Hopefully one day our countries will be friends again...

Nigglenaggle · 22/09/2018 21:48

Haha one of the posts gas reminded me of another memory, completely different. We have a son who desperately needs outdoor exercise each day, and friends who at the time had a border collie who was similar. And I remember going on a walk with them, entirely for those reasons with the rain sheeting down and the boy and the dog sitting in the car while we encouraged them out with a look of 'have you completely lost your minds???'

GemmeFatale · 22/09/2018 21:52

I really like this shirt.

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/products/ocean-button-up-shirt-stripe-oxford

It’s the sort of thing I buy somewhat unwillingly because I want something more exciting but wear on constant repeat once it’s in my wardrobe.

I also like the 100% cotton and wooden buttons.

TheDisillusionedAnarchist · 22/09/2018 21:56

Love this top www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/girls-dresses-tops/products/emmie-cotton-jersey-top-raindrop

Favourite outdoor memory would be my son seeing rain and being so excited over it, he had to go and sit in a puddle and play with it.

lovewatchingrainfall · 22/09/2018 21:58

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

This coat is stunning..

My favourite memory is actually how myself and my now husband got together.. we met at uni and one day decided to go for a walk it was a cold afternoon we walked for 4hours no idea where we were going we just walked and talked it was amazing.. we still talk about our long crazy walk in the cold and in the end dark now..

eternalopt · 22/09/2018 22:56

Love this coat www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/products/florence-waterproof-breathable-warm-mid-thigh-parka-grey

Special memory would be New Year's Day, walking along a blustery beach with my boys and husband truly blowing the cobwebs away and feeling fresh for the year ahead.

PickleNeedsAFriendInReading · 23/09/2018 10:33

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/products/strand-full-zip-hooded-cotton-sweatshirt-bramble

You can't really go wrong with a hoody ever, can you?

Lots of memories of camping with my family in Canada as a small child, bears and all!

Goingovertosusanshouse · 23/09/2018 13:22

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

Best outdoor memory was sleeping on the beach after exams!

MakeTeaNotWar · 23/09/2018 16:38

This is a lovely colour - I'm hoping to get a Glastonbury ticket when they go on sale in a few weeks and my thoughts are turning to rainproof gear!

www.lighthouseclothing.co.uk/collections/womens-lightweight-raincoats/products/anya-waterproof-mid-hip-rain-jacket-seagrass-dot

My favourite outdoor memory is walking along the seafront in Brighton (where we live) and picking up pretty stones, eating ice-cream cones

Love this top, very cute!
Favourite outdoor memory day at the beach with extended family, grandad laughed so hard during a splashing contest with the grandkids his false teeth dropped out into the surf, fortunately they were quickly retrievedGrin
