Summer coat/jacket type thing

4 replies

So I'm thinking about buying a summer jacket/coat. Maybe a mac but I really don't know. I'm down to a size 16 and hopefully getting smaller and feel the need for a mac-type coat/summer thing to wear. My current (and only) coat is a thick black sheepskin one - lovely when it's cold but as it's finally warming up in Manchester I could do with something lighter.

As you might know I'm not the most fashionable of people (still ashamed of my tights with sandals query), so help please - what should I be looking out for at the moment? Budget = cheap as chips.

I'm looking for the exact same type of thing. I've got thick coats-too warm for summery type days perfect for winter and i've got zip jackets with adidas and such on them, not good enough when wearing 'smart' clothing.
I have a £20 next voucher i got for christmas and can't find a bloody thing!!!

Yes - i want something smart-ish - good enough to wear to work and big meetings I have to travel to. Sexy would also be good, but is probably pushing it...

Come on style people - what do you wear in the summer??

The only place I've looked in is Primark () and they only had one kind of coat with HUGE collars and buttons. Not a good look on me...

Ive recently ish bought two jackets/coats -probably not smart enough though
A green waist length jacket from Matalan
and a green (I like green!!!) jacket with furry cuffs and edges from Peacocks

I was really pleased cos they look fab and were both only £15 - perfect for me!
