I give up!
For some reason I seem to look like Jessica bloody Fletcher in any kind of Mac/trench :(
What else can I get for work / smart-casual? I have loads of casual-casual and blazers but cannot for the life of me find anything for this time of year for work.
I'm 38 and everything I try seems teenagery or murder she wrote.

HELP!!!!! PLEASE????

I've got the summer parka from Hush. It's casual but smart ish and looks lovely on. It's huge though - I had to size down to an 8 and I'm a 10/12 but have a look - you might like it

Mmmm. It's nice. But I worry those Barbour-style pockets make it a bit casual?
I haven't looked at hush though. Will see what else they have...

I'm a Hush addict and own loads of the stuff. Yes the pockets may make it look more casual that what you're after.

Iv' e just ordered this

as was after a spring jacket, but not as substantial as a mac. Looks lovely, but haven't ordered from Hush before, just lusted after things from their website !

Missmapp - I've got that jersey blazer in blue. It's really nice especially with the sleeves rolled up a bit. It's casual and unlined though - don't know if it would be smart enough for the OP?
