a
b
c

Of course, I really love d (in black), but it's a bit too much.

depends on your shape, but I like B the best. But maybe the double breasted and belt would not be great if you are large of bust.

I don't like the Boden one at all. I hate the collar, its far to expensive and the decriptions Boden give to things (although not in this case) makes me want to tear my eyes out.

Hmm, I was wondering about the double breasted aspect of it as I do have large-ish boobs. I do like the Boden one, especially as it will be the warmest (I'm in NE Scotland, brrr). I already have a plain black wool coat from Hobbs, however, so was wanting something a bit different. Might have to go back to the drawing board, thanks for your views!

If you already have a plain black coat what about a fur stole thing like this.

Granard · 07/10/2010 11:25

a is the most classic I think.

d is way over-priced, like everything at Boden!

Granard · 07/10/2010 11:27

Good suggestion on the fur stole. And you could change the lining with some fancy fabric. Did this recently with a black military style coat and it's given it a whole new lease of life & looks much more expensive than it was.

It depends A is classier.
B is badly cut.
If you have large breasts C is probably the best.
With my shape I would go for a.

FiveOrangePips · 07/10/2010 11:30

I like a.

If you have norks b will not flatter with the belt imho.

I like c, but again it would be best if you are not large of norks. I don't like the Boden one,the collar is wrong imho.

Thank you for those extra responses. Think I might have to drag take DD2 with me on a trip into town this afternoon and try some on. 'Tis my last day of maternity leave (not sure whether I'm Sad or Grin).

I like c best then b. a is a bit boring. Depends on your shape and what they look like in RL. I think if b is as dark as it is in pic then ok but any brighter and I would say no.
