What coats do you own?

[ButterflyOfFreedom]

Just that really - do you have different ones for different occasions?

What do you wear for work?
What do you wear for taking the kids to the park / zoo / museum?
What do you wear to the pub?

What styles are they and what brand / which shop did you get them from?

Thanks!

[DiscoDancer]

Lots. Different ones for work, casual, smart casual, going out. Need a good biker jacket though still looking at you whistles Agnes also still have my denim jackets from my yoof and my lovely grey denim french connection one that one of the sisters in Charmed wore

[Judydreamsofhorses]

Oh, and a navy polka-dot Cath Kidston cagoule which folds up - v handy on last summer's wet holiday!

If you're looking for good waterproof coats I'd recommend vikingkids online. They sell different scandi brands and often have last years version in the sale. Good for adults and kids coats (no I don't work there but prices are reasonable and good customer service)

[sugarmonster64]

I have:

3/4 length cashmere mix coat - primarily for work
Grey jersey blazer - work/pub
Leather biker - pub/casual
Spring and winter 3/4 water/wind proof parkas - school run/work if raining
Barbour thick coat - outdoor stuff
Black waterproof - no kind of redundant but no doubt dog walking in spring

Also have a waist length trench which is possibly a little snug. Often wear that for work too
