I like my new coat

[WildThongsHeartString]

zara

I like that it isn't shiny
I like that it's 100% cotton
I like that it doesn't have shiny brass buttons
I like that it has a warm detachable checked lining
I like that it is really well made
I like that it was less than £80

Take that M&S

Nice one! That's a really good buy.

So do I. Very nice!

Yep, I like it too and it's now on my list of thing to buy ASAP.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut it's not PINK

I want a pink coat.
I tried a pink jacket on in Uniqlo. I thought I looked like a huge tandoori prawn fab.

DD said it was "pouffy" (I think she meant puffy )

And yes, the coat is lovely.
Did you go for beige or black?

I got black as i'll probably wear it most for work and any lighter colours I had previously got manky (public transport etc). I swithered though as the other one is lovely too.
It's nice with jeans and boots as well.

At pouffy btw

That is lovely. But for me I prefer single breasted not double.

Vair nice.

Love it !!

Yes, but if you'd got a coat from M&S you could have got one with lots of lovely embroidery on it, a massive hood that wouldn't stay on your heads, pockets in places you couldn't get your hands near, strange buttons and/or zips and enough shine for it to double up as a mirror. And you might even bump into Tracey Emin wearing the very same one and that would mean you were uber cool like a Brit pop artist dontcha know. I hope you don't live to regret getting the Zara one :)

'head' I mean. I don't think M&S have branched out into coats with two hoods yet. They're probably considering it though.

Would buy that if it were navy! Beige washes me out and black does too, shame!

Nice! Bargain! 100% cotton! Not usually a Zara fan but this might make me venture in.

Would be perfect if it had a hood. I don't understand why, with the weather we have, coats don't come with a hood as standard.

Can i ask what colour the lining is?

Em... Don't slag Tracey Emin. And she's not a 'pop' artist either :-)

Ps holidaybug yes. Really need a nice hooded waterproof mac. Any suggestions please suggest :-) (I dont like 'toggles' and I do like fitted ones with belts. Especially one for a tall person!

curley the lining is a natural colour with kind of large reddish check pattern. It feels wooly (but it's not wool) and is a long waistcoat shape attached to the main coat by zips.

If it had a hood it would have been 100% perfect as mentioned above, but I have never been able to find a really nice hooded coat that ticked my other boxes.

Love that coat! What's the sizing like? Am 10-12 but you can never predict Zara sizing!

Love it All the colourful coats will be out of fashion by xmas Even primark has a hideous pink monstrosity. Anything the Daily Mail tells us is 'feminine' is surely a no no

Well I am fat generously made, Zara is always small on me. I am a 16 in all other shops but as I will probably be wearing other layers or even a light jacket under this (to work) I bought the 18 and its perfect. Eek!
