Waterproof mac in burnt horizon red. Smart, waterproof, longer length.

But actually, what I'd really, really, really like is the winter parka is some more noticeable colours. Black coats, plus dark winter evening doesnt make for great visability when you are out and about. For this reason, I always choose winter coats that are brighter or lighter in colour so I can be seen easily.

Waterproof parka in olive green size 12-14 please.

It's taken me ages to pick one as they're all gorgeous.

TheFairyCaravan · 06/07/2019 10:40

I'd for the waterproof Winter parka. I've had to start using my mobility scooter more and more when we are out and about and it's so difficult trying to keep warm and dry. And of course it would be ideal if I was on my crutches because I can't use an umbrella

TinyCheese · 06/07/2019 10:58

It would be Waterproof Mac in deep burgundy in 10-12 for me, it's very elegant, the colour is beautiful and it would provide a good cover. Great looker, but practical, too. Looks smart for work but will go well with jeans, too.

TrySinging · 06/07/2019 11:02

I like the Waterproof Mac in True Black. Classic and timeless.

Thingsthatgo · 06/07/2019 11:23

The rain bomber. So I can take my dog for a long walk in the rain, but still look stylish!

pennee · 06/07/2019 11:29

I love the cityscape blue parka (size 6-8) Gorgeous colour and perfect for wearing with leggings and trainers for a casual look outside of work

Elpatso80 · 06/07/2019 12:32

I'd love the Parker in size 10-12 in City scape blue.
My mum has been nagging me to get a waterproof coat for years... I am nearly 40 years old!! Parenting never ends!

pikapikachu · 06/07/2019 12:49

I'd like the Waterproof Winter Parka please. I walk lots so it would be great to be protected from the UK weather.

CoffeeWithMyOxygen · 06/07/2019 13:01

I’d love the Waterproof Commuter in Burnt Horizon Red. It looks amazing - smart enough for work, stylish enough for the weekend and it’d be nice to have a coat that’s not navy or black!

SleepingIsOverrated · 06/07/2019 13:05

I'd go for the waterproof parka in sandstone fawn!

Perfect for the bit of the year when it's still fairly warm but it's never predictably dry and the rest of your clothes aren't quite from the winter wardrobe.... this colour should look better with that style than my usually black, navy or green.

Also love the length, could be worn dressed up or down. Love, love, love!!

SillyMoomin · 06/07/2019 13:25

The Waterproof mac mac is lovely! Chic, lightweight looking and would do wonders to make me look a bit more “put together”

CharityConundrum · 06/07/2019 13:31

I love the waterproof parka in Night Sky Navy - I'm on a quest to overhaul my 'look' before I'm 40 next year, and this would go a long way to helping me look 'put-together' rather than 'This will do'.

PenelopeParallelogram · 06/07/2019 13:32

The Waterproof Commuter in Burnt Horizon Red. I'm going back to work, after maternity leave, this autumn and would love to smarten up my wardrobe. A practical and stylish coat would be the perfect addition.

Estraya · 06/07/2019 13:38

I like the waterproof winter parka in a size 14 as I live in a cold rainy place and a decent waterproof winter coat makes all the difference!

IWouldBeSuperb · 06/07/2019 13:44

The Waterproof Commuter in Navy is gorgeous - it's so hard to find something that works for a sweaty train journey and a rainy walk and still looks even borderline professional, but I think this might be the holy grail!

skybluee · 06/07/2019 13:46

I'd choose the Waterproof City Walker in white! It looks perfect for the summer we're having, and white is nice and light for summer evenings. I also like the fact there's a concealed hood which is great if the temperature drops as the evening goes on. I think it's stunning and would love to wear something like that.

Thecurtainsofdestiny · 06/07/2019 14:35

The Waterproof Commuter in dark burgundy. Looks absolutely gorgeous!

Tentomidnight · 06/07/2019 14:42

The waterproof parka in navy (10-12) as it looks stylish & timeless.
Really great coats, I’d like one of each Wink

CarrotCakeEveryTime · 06/07/2019 14:56

It would be the waterproof Commuter for me, 10-12, in true black. 🖤 Love their coats, such lovely fabric.

yakari · 06/07/2019 14:56

The commuter, black size 10
I had never heard of the brand until I kept seeing this thread in active, now I'm lusting after all of them!

TheOldestCat · 06/07/2019 15:07

Love the waterproof Mac in storm grey - would be ideal for the school run, the commute and on my Girlguiding adventures (I’d be a dry Brownie leader even when we are out in the rain!).

FoxFoxSierra · 06/07/2019 15:15

I would go for the waterproof parka in olive green (10-12) they are all lovely but that is very "me"

Cocolapew · 06/07/2019 15:20

The waterproof parka in navy.
I Iive in Northern Ireland and it always rains here. Also I look good in navy 😆

pinknsparkly · 06/07/2019 15:42

The waterproof mac is gorgeous, flattering and long enough to keep your butt and thighs dry!
