A raincoat for an hourglass?

Do you have any recmmendations?

I would like it to be long with a hood. Tie or elasticated waists always make me look huge. I would prefer a colour rather than black or navy. I have my eye on an ilse jacobsen one but it is about fifty quid more than my budget - which is around 100.

Many thanks!

Hello

I have the regatta in navy. It covers just below my bum but I am 5 foot 2.
You can either wear it loose, or clinch in the waist.
It comes in a variety of colours too!
I've worn it a few times before all the sun! It has not let me down.

Seasalt Westerly Mac navy but lifted by colour. Nice length with hood and belt can sit round the back.

Thanks for the recommendations. I was having a look at the Westerley mac.

Any other suggestions?

This is the one I like but can´t afford. Any opinions?

I’ve recently bought a Didrikson Thelma Parka following a recommendation on MN. It’s mainly for dog walking but I love it. I’m an hourglass and feel this can define a curve in the right place with the waist adjustors.( is there such a word) Grin
But it is in grey but good discount at the moment in Blacks.

Thanks I shall have a look.

How about these Uniqlo blocktech coats. They're quite slimming and they come in a few colours. https://www.uniqlo.com/uk/en/product/women-blocktech-coat-404199.html?dwvar4041999size=SMA002&dwvar4041999color=COL03&cgid=IDcoats1171
