Is the joules coast jacket frumpy

[Whwhywhy]

I need a light waterproof summer jacket for holidays. I’ll then use as a summer jacket. Is this a fully frumpy choice?

im 40 and a mum, bite me

^^^^ this x a million

I have the berry pink one and I like it but I am 40 and not fashionable so it probably is frumpy.

I bought the orangey red and pinky red to try. 20% off and 5% cash back with codes and top cash back.

I've got the red one. Had lots of complements - from other mums. It's def more practical than stylish but with two kids 3 & under I need practical. I haven't had any issues with the waterproofing. I'm 35.

Just had a look and I think its really nice, your not going to be wearing it on nights out!!

I've got it in yellow for the school run and dog walks, and I love it. I wear it with either my flowery joules wellies or my Chelsea boots. I'm 29!

I like it! I am considering getting one too now

I've got the bright red version and love it - I'm 37. As waterproof jackets go, I don't think it's frumpy at all!

I have the mustard one - I’m 30. I love it. My best friend says I look like I’m on the school run I don’t care

I think sometimes the weather is just shit, and wearing something that will give you some protection from it is actually the most stylish thing to do.

That said, I still have two objections to that coat:
The colour. I really dislike jaunty looking rainwear although that's just a personal preference.
More troublingly I think that fattest-part-of-the-thigh length is unflattering on many if not most of us. More to the point, how is it either practical or a good look to have rain dripping off the hem of your coat and down your leg?

My sister has the coast in red and looks truly lovely in it and often receives compliments. She is 26 and tiny mind you, a size 6-8 but curvy. I think maybe size and stature does make a difference tho as my friend has the same jacket in yellow, but looks incredibly mumsy and frumpy in it, she's a size 14-16.

Would you mind sharing the 20% off code pls WhyWhyWhy?!

I bought this jacket last year in the grey flower print. Love it, I haven't got wet through it yet, it washes well and I have loads of people saying how lovely it is. It's perfect for the unpredictable school run and walk to work.

It’s joulestc
I just googled it.

Thanks!

i dont think they are, at least i hope not because i own two.
are chelsea boots frumpy as then? joules seem to be all over chelsea boots too!!

Have you checked out seasalt? I love their jackets!

They now have a mid length version of this coat and I was wondering if anyone has tried it? I tried on the shorter length in store and it was OK on me (but wanted to order online with a discount code), but I'm now thinking the longer would be more practical - but is it more 'frumpy'?

APRIL25 give 25% off Joules for the rest of today, it was in our local store also but I would buy one from Seasalt instead as they are better

Joules is overpriced and terrible quality tbh. That jacket is awful, sorry

I'm not a fan of yellow waterproofs. I'm not sure there's any such thing as a truly elegant, cutting-edge chic waterproof though. Some situations just require non-chic clothing.

I wouldn't wear a waterproof as my main jacket day-to-day though (possibly my not compulsorily-outdoor-lifestyle privilege is showing though).

Is this the longer length one you mean? www.joules.com/Women/Jackets-Coats/Coastline/Longer-Length-Waterproof-Jacket/Laurel-Blossom?id=Y_COASTLINEPRT|LAURBLS

I don't like that pattern but I think the length looks way better than the mid thigh ones

I have it in yellow with a spot lining rather than navy stripe. I've just got back from a freezing cold city break and it was fantastic. I wore it with a black scarf, black skinnies and black Vans.

I'm a 12 but bought a 14 for a swingier fit.

Sorry, should've posted a link in my previous post.

I've got a £50 gift voucher for joules so need to buy something from there, and I can't see anything I like, but a waterproof coat would come in handy! I'm a size ten.
