Right. Autumn coats/jackets

13 replies

S&B experts! I need a coat/jacket for now (autumn in UK), so not a full-length full-on winter job but not a mac or trench either.

Shortish length but not cropped, a stand-up collar or one that can be turned up, and no or very little man-made material are all prerequisites.

I think I'm thinking vaguely biker-style, but not leather. Or miltary-ish.

Can anyone help?

Oh, and high street or designer outlet only.

Thanks darlings!

Ooh - hello LadyClarice - sounds exactly what I'm after too!

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 28/09/2013 18:35

Hello holmes! Not exactly Piccadilly Circus on this thread, is it? Grin

Hopefully someone will come along at some point...

I may have time to go real-world shopping in the next few days. I'll report back if I find anything.

Which Westwood ones do you like? Just to give us an idea...

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 28/09/2013 18:38

This looks nice, but has a lot of polyester, sadly.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 28/09/2013 18:39

Sorry, you said short. Ignore me.

MrsRadicchio · 28/09/2013 20:26

What about this?

I have tried it on and think it looks better irl.

LadyClariceCannockMonty · 30/09/2013 10:20

Remus, this kind of thing. And, on the high street, I quite like but can't bring myself to pay for this.

By 'short' I don't really mean waist-length and certainly not cropped; just not 'long' as in full-on past-the-knee winter coat.

MrsR, it's a bit short for me – I don't suit short/cropped –but yes, it's nice.

Not sure about this but it's a nice length Prob too loud and too much polyester.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 30/09/2013 19:30

Gorgeous but prob too cropped

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 30/09/2013 19:31

Gorgeous but expensive

VivaLeThrustBadger · 30/09/2013 21:39

asos

Thanks all! Love the Reiss one, but it might be a bit wintry – mainly wool and a touch of cashmere. I'm after something a little lighter.

The All Saints one is my front runner. Have to raid the piggy bank...
