Are these really the 20 best coats?

[Stokey]

in today's Guardian. I hope not, I don't think I like any of them. Where have buttons gone this season?

They are awful. Everyone seems to want a pink coat this season. Pale sickly pink that suits virtually nobody.

I like the green duffle coat and the M and S one but don't like the colour of it. The rest are awful.

The Guardian isn't great at fashion. Their Saturday magazine style part always makes me think of me of lentils.

The gap one and the whistles one are lovely and I have been lusting over them. They have been featured in loads of magazines before the Guardian featured them as have the pink zara and pink M&S ones - pink is massive this season for coats. And the Guardian Saturday style journalist isn't a frump or into lentils.

Oh yuck! I love the duffel coat, but all those shapeless boxy ones look like something Viv Nichols or Myra Hindley would wear. I can't believe anyone looks good in that sort of shape.

i predict everyone will be wearing pink coats this autumn.

I like the Jaeger one

Do the people who chose these coats ever actually spend any time outside in winter? The duffel coats and the red Zara coat look fab for general warmth, so long as they're isn't much wet going on. The rest look about as useful as a chocolate fireguard.

I don't mind lentils as it goes. But prefer the ST Style.

Myra Hindley, oh dear!

I read the guardian, have no waist and love the oversized look and even I'm struggling to like any of those. There is really no excuse for pink

I predict the sale racks will be full of pink coats next Spring. Especially the ones that look like dressing gowns.

I think that they are all absolutely repulsive.

they usually have a couple of something vearable, a few hideous directional ones, something cheap, something eyewateringly expensive.
yawn...

Aarghhh, sleeveless coat. Noo, I have always failed to see any justification for a sleeveless coat. A bit like peep toe boots. Utterly useless.

Hideous. I like the duffle but the rest are boxy 80s style. Not for me.

I've tried the Gap one, the fabric's cheap and scratchy.
And the press studs make it look rubbish when the coat's open.

If it was single breasted, it would look better on.

Hmm, well I really like most of them, although pink is not my colour. I already have a few coats that shape, so I'm pleased.

I am an almost 40year old dedicated guardian reader, who LOVES the guardian style section. Hah!

Are we really going to see loads of women walking round in pink coats this year? I'm not joining in and I don't mind a bit of pink.

"I have always failed to see any justification for a sleeveless coat. A bit like peep toe boots."

Or 3/4 length sleeves.

Isn't a sleeveless coat a gilet? Or a body warmer as my mother would say!

That m and s pink coat is really doing my head in now, and I've not even seen it in rl yet.

I love the green Topshop coat, but no sign of it on the website. Why do they do that?!?

Thanks ouryve for giving me a good laugh!

No those are the top coats from companies who's pr had enough money to pay for them to be in there. That checked one by Gianni is hideous. And why would anyone wear a cocoon coat - seriously, a coat that makes you look bigger? Why?

My god, what a hideous collection of coats!

I like the Gloverall Duffle coat, the red Zara one and the Gap camel car coat. The rest should go in the bin or be worn by market stall holders to keep them warm
