I have been searching all winter for a padded coat, that doesn't have brown fur.
I quite like this one which I have ordered, not as bright in real life, it's a rust colour, but wondering is it too teenagerish?

Ooh- I love the 'View Catwalk' option! What a good idea!

No, I don't think it's too teenagerish, I really like it! Good price too.

Thank you, I have seen a black one in Wallis I'm liking too!

I'm in my fifties and I'd wear it. It's definitely not just for teenagers.

nickpick · 28/01/2020 07:58

Thanks 🤩 I've got so indecisive! Must be my age. Then I keep seeing people in black coats, so I'm thinking the 'rust' is too much.

It's fine - I like the colour and in any case, no self respecting teenager wears a coat round here.

ichifanny · 28/01/2020 08:16

The quality in quiz is pretty terrible .

nickpick · 28/01/2020 08:18

ichifanny it's not bad quality, I was surprised.

It's not for me but I certainly don't think it's too young or colourful. I can't cope with fur around my face at all. Ive been looking at Uniqlo for a nice warm coat for next year.

River island have some nice ones and theres a 10% off code atm too.

Wallis one is nice but I prefer the Quiz one. I love the colour!

nickpick · 28/01/2020 10:23

Thanks everyone 😁

I would wear the Quiz coat

dontgobaconmyheart · 28/01/2020 12:23

Wouldnt wear either in all honesty but they're both fine? Surprised you've been struggling for options though as I feel like I see these everywhere and can't find anything but!

youwereagoodcakeclyde · 28/01/2020 12:29

I have something similar to the Wallis one (and love it) and it covers my bum 😄
However I like the colour of the quiz one, definitely not for teenagers and looks warmer?

2monstermash · 28/01/2020 12:35

Agree with ^^

They are fine, not super fashionable or nice, but fine and if you like them and deem the quality good enough, then go for it

Disfordarkchocolate · 28/01/2020 12:40

I love a coat that covers my bum.

nickpick · 28/01/2020 13:15

dontgobaconmyheart that's why I'm struggling as these aren't really what I want, but can't find anything! If you can help me then I'm listening

Or this?

OP posts:
BigusBumus · 28/01/2020 14:53

Its OK. A little bit ordinary and not the height of style perhaps... I think its the fake fur round the hood i dislike.

If it were me, i prefer this from Monsoon

BigusBumus · 28/01/2020 14:57

Or this if it colour you want and its cheap! Boohoo

nickpick · 28/01/2020 15:09

BigusBumus it's not the colour, I just need a new winter coat.
I'm not keen on the hood on the Monsoon one

OP posts:
RatherBeRiding · 28/01/2020 17:11

Of the ones you've linked to OP I much prefer the Superdry one. It's a good length (a winter coat needs to cover the bum!)

nickpick · 28/01/2020 17:42

RatherBeRiding thanks, my OH puts me off long ones, says they don't suit me!

OP posts:
Disfordarkchocolate · 28/01/2020 18:49

The warmth of a long coat suits everyone, I can't believe I waited so long but I always have one now as they are so cosy.
