Which coat? Help me decide from these three

my fave- but is it too short?

love the colour but does the neckline look too gappy and cold?

boring? but it's the most covered up. Will it look scruffy after a while?

FWIW I'm 5"11 and a size 12.

Please help! I think I like the first one best but worried it's more of a jacket than a coat coat...

I love the Zara one, a nice scarf will keep your neck warm

I like the first one the best Smile and it comes to your hips so not too short IMO Smile

How old are you OP? My answer depends on that!

I have recently bought the topshop duffle after previously thinking I would never be seen dead wearing a duffle coat!

It is lovely, very warm.

The zara one is nice looking but I don't think would be warm, more of a going from cab to restaurant etc.

The last one is nice but more autumn than winter.

I am 5'6 and the duffle is a coat on mr, not a jacket. You would have to try it on for length.

Mid twenties, big orange!

First one. I love Topshop duffle coats and it's perfect for your age too (although I'm a decade older than you and would still wear it!).

They're too different to choose! I like the first two, prefer the style and colour of the Zara one (will look especially good with your height) but guess the Topshop duffle will be warmer. I reckon the trench will look scruffy quickly and gives no warmth at all, if that's what you're after.

I am pushing 50. Hope that hasn't put you off!

I don't like the duffle but I'm nearly 40
The other two are too different, I'd imagine you might need both ;)

I like the duffle, it'll be warm and practical and look great. Has the highest wool content too.

The Zara one, yes, I'd be thinking about a cold neck.

The last one is 100% viscose - not a winter coat at all.

Repeatedlydoingthetwist · 11/09/2013 12:52

Definitely the first one then, I think the other two look a bit 'older'.

Thurlow · 11/09/2013 12:54

First one, definitely.

For some reason seeing an adult in a duffle coat just never seems right to me. Makes me think of an overgrown toddler (sorry.)

So for that reason, I think the Zara one is best. It's beautiful and with a scarf the low neck is not an issue.
