What coats are your older teen girls wearing?

[twosoups1972]

Dd is 18 and needs a new coat. She is currently wearing a black padded coat that she's had for ages and has seen better days.

She's not sure what sort of style to go for and I don't know what's popular with this age group.

She's about 5'1" and size 10.

Any suggestions please? Not sure of budget, maybe up to £100.

Thank you all with the exception of @RosieBenenden what a strange reply

She IS at a state school! So it seems a puffer jacket/coat is the way to go. Which is very similar to what she's got already but that's ok if she's happy.

So no to a wool more tailored coat? Or teddy bear coat?

Not as a school coat.

What’s a teddy bear coat, a duffle?

If so those were never trendy!

I remember the bombers with furry collars, 90s?

Anything that price will be a false economy and sort of thing kids in state schools I'm for you, Baby A 😂.

The teens round me love a teddy coat but like a PP said not for school. By me it's a sea of River Island, Top shop and JD coats.

She’s 18. Isn’t she shopping for her own clothes? I can’t imagine having any input into my adult daughter’s winter coat.

My daughter has this one & we got it with a discount - she has pretty much lived in- so I’m guessing it’s warm :)

I have 2 very different daughters. One 17 one 18.

DD17 - , tall, lean, prefers style to comfort... wears Joe Brown - www.kaleidoscope.co.uk/products/joe-browns-the-libertine-coat/_/A-43W085_14?PFM_rsn=browse&PFM_ref=false&PFM_psp=own&PFM_pge=1&PFM_lpn=37

DD18 - average height, build, likes to be warm! ... wears New Look - www.newlook.com/uk/womens/clothing/coats-jackets/stone-faux-fur-parka-coat/p/619624016?comp=Browse

Both look lovely

DD has two bum length coats, padded with fur edged hoods, one black, the other a dusty green. She bought them, I think she paid £40/50 each.

Dd is 17 and currently wearing a New look borg black bomber jacket thing all the time. They have them for about £30-40. Black or beige seem to be the most in colours.

Failing that an oversized puffa style coat from H and M is a good bet.

Are you buying this as a gift for her? At 18 id give her the money and let her choose her own if she doesn’t have her own income.

RosieBenenden why would you assume people on MN don't have kids at state schools? I reckon most do! Weird thing to say.

Thank you for that helpful post @gingersausage She has looked around herself but isn’t sure what she wants so is looking for some ideas. Dh also asks for my opinion sometimes on clothing and he’s 56 😂😂😂😂

When I was 18 I was way way past my mother having any involvement in my wardrobe whatsoever!!

Well good for you @ReturnofSaturn but my dd does which is why I’m posting.

although not sure how you can buy a coat under £100 OP. Anything that price will be a false economy and sort of thing kids in state schools wear.

Yes, dear.

All my daughter’s friends are wearing teddy bear coats-I think they are rather cute!

@twosoups1972 oh dear

I agree quilted/puffer/ down coats will be very warm and probably last a while. My eldest DD deliberately bought a coat in yr 13 that would last her into university as she knew it was the last one we would be paying for! TK Max is a good place to look as well as the shops suggested.

@ErrolTheDragon do you have a link to the Debenhams one please?

of puffer coats from Monki

Damn, link fail. Totally user error.
selection of puffer coats from Monki

State school coats

Definitely one for classics

Sorry, no OP - I did look to see if I could see anything similar this year but couldn't spot one. Debenhams is one of the better places to find petite smartish but not extortionate stuff, IME.

You can get your teens into a coat

What is this magic

Cold, wet school bus stop up north will do it.

I was in Monki yesterday with Dd, the puffer coats are really nice & seem good quality they also have a selection of teddy bear coats that were nice

Recently ordered my DD this.......she absolutely loves it and it can be dressed up or down.

I couldn't get over how good the quality was for the price either.
