Are yellow coats still in??!

I can’t decide between a yellow or bright blue coat- think waterproof, hood and big pockets. It would be for daily walks. I’m approaching half a century so obvs can’t be trusted to make this decision myself....

I think yellow coats are lovely.....on a toddler.

That said I really like them and if your colouring can pull off yellow, I’d go for it!

PresentingPercy · 20/02/2021 18:52

Don’t think they were ever “in” but I think you can go for whatever you like for a waterproof one. It’s hardly making a fashion statement is it? Practical considerations come first really.

PresentingPercy · 20/02/2021 18:53

I know regatta do a bright yellow one. It’s jolly for a wet day!

JMAngel1 · 20/02/2021 19:01

I think the yellow coat trend stemmed from that Welsh drama - can’t remember it’s name now but it was really good. Not sure yellow rain coats were ever ‘in’ but if you love it and the colour suits you, why not?

yoshiblue · 20/02/2021 19:03

Personally I'd go for a navy colour

frivolitynow · 20/02/2021 19:05

In a similar recent dilemma I decided on a yellow scarf and navy coat.

SatsumasOrClementines · 20/02/2021 19:06

Love them!

No idea but I want a bright yellow raincoat. Lighthouse used to do a lovely one a few years ago but one of my close friends bought it so I felt I couldn't. Been looking for one ever since!
Which one are you looking at @Snoris

Thesheerrelief · 20/02/2021 19:13

They have definitely been in for a while. I've been pondering getting one but I have red hair so fear I may look like a highlighter

frivolitynow · 20/02/2021 19:21

This is supposedly the original one:

I've got a yellow rain coat. bought it because I liked the bright colour. once bought I realised loads of people had them so they are defiantly in fashion.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 20/02/2021 19:23

I neither know nor care whether they are 'in' but I've had one a couple of years. I look a complete loon in it, but occasionally it's just what I need for frightening the ducks.

M0rT · 20/02/2021 19:28

Get whichever suits your colouring.
I like yellow raincoats because when I need to wear one it's grey and miserable and they are cheerful.
Also I feel a bit safer in them as more visible in the gloom.

Sootybear · 20/02/2021 19:34

Go for the yellow. I don't think it's really fashionable but yellow is one of my favourite colours and brightens up a dull day.

Bluewavescrashing · 20/02/2021 19:35

Shows the marks though. Burgundy or navy are better

edgeware · 20/02/2021 19:39

Once I got a yellow raincoat I realised that yellow raincoats are ‘the mum’ raincoat

That’s a nice coat OP.

I had an image like this www.thenauticalcompany.com/raincoat-women-yellow/prod_279.html and I really think they belong on toddlers!

Volcanoexplorer · 20/02/2021 22:05

I got a yellow raincoat about 5 years ago before they were everywhere. Now every other person seems to have one so I’ve gone off mine. They’re too common now. I’d go for the blue.

Damfino · 20/02/2021 22:09

They're very hi-de-hi

MrsWindass · 21/02/2021 01:49

Love a yellow coat. You see a lot more "mum " on here every day of the week. 😀

1forAll74 · 21/02/2021 02:55

I like them, you can walk amongst the yellow daffodils,and feel spring like now.

ZaraW · 21/02/2021 04:26

Yellow raincoats were really fashionavmble a few years ago. I would go with blue.

DramaAlpaca · 21/02/2021 04:35

Yellow looks amazing on my friend but truly awful on me. Blue all the way. But if it suits you and you like it, go for it.
