What do you think of this coat?

I'm need a new winter coat (relocating) and need something practical and warm. I'm a good 20-22, would I look like a turd balloon in it?

I think it is nice. Good colour, long in body (warm and good), hood (good). Quilting can make people look bigger than they are, but the quilting doesn't look 'puffy'.

I give it a 'thumbs up'.

I personally would go for something with slightly thinner quilting and/or something to draw you in at the waist.. something like

This

Or this

Or this

No matter what my size that is the style I'd go for if I wanted a quilted one, otherwise I think you run the risk of looking like you're wearing a sleeping bag!

Definitely not a balloon, more like a well-packed haggis, in a mumsy way of course. :(

Alternative?

Thanks...hopefully it will be better on than in the picture (I suspect not though)

bang I didn't really like any of those - not entirely sure why

pony A trench cut is not going to cut it with the weather, I think trench coats are more of a Autumn coat

I have last years version of it in cream. I tis lovely and warm but def makes me look bigger. Im a tall size 16 and its not terribly flattering on me.

Honestly it is horrible.

Is there a particular reason why you want quilted?

I think it is fine. Will the colour suit you?

What about a wool belted one as an option?

I kept seeing similar on mums at the park it looked warm but they were very slim, i'm a size 16 and tried last years on, felt it made me look bigger, was certainly cosy, too be honest i always feel bigger in winter coats especially longer ones, if you love it then go for it.

It would make me feel big too miche and I am a 10. Although very short with big boobs!

tiny that coat in the op is fugly

tiny where are you going to be? I've done Alberta in January at minus 50 yet never worn Fugly! ;)

I like it.

I'll be in Kabul, folks are warning me that the weather is very very cold in winter.

I'm slightly panicking now, Only 5'5, size 20-22 and huge norkage. (I'll be very turd like).

Duffel coat
hooded jacket
Any good?

Yes, it's cold, but not that cold - at the same time it's a very stylish city - and your shopping options once there will be shite.

I think the duffel coat (in a good fabric) option would be warm and more flattering than a puffa jacket which only looks good on skinny people.

That duffel coat is lovely. Maybe in a darker colour

Fab duffel coat!
