Cannot find what I am looking for...
Tried this one from M&S www.marksandspencer.com/gp/product/B000WQ3P8G/sr=1-22/qid=1194881070/ref=sr_1_22/202-0051344-1550273 ?ie=UTF8&node=&m=A2BO0OYVBKIQJM&keywords=&mnSBrand=core&size=9&rh=n%3A43000030&page=3 but no good - collar was way too big.
Would like it to be fitted but flared at hem but ideally no belt (as have no waist really!).
TIA

Not my taste but have a look here

Was hoping for somthing bit plainer, not too fashiony IYSWIM.
Flared as in A line rather than frill hem, if that makes sense?
Like the cut of Hobbs coats but cant find any in purple, they are mainly in black

Pannacotta · 12/11/2007 15:38

Like both of those thanks but as a "column" cant do column necks and the Top Shop one bit too tailored - am already bit straight so need bit of a flare/A line cut...

river island have a nice one although not really fitted. i got a lovely grey one in benetton, can't remember whether they had a purple. it is difficult this year, single breasts aren't fitted i found.

Thanks MrsB, yours is just what I was after style wise but at risk of sounding like a clothes snob was after something bit more pricey, just think the wool mix ones under £70 can look bit cheap (bought one 2 years ago and it only lasted one season)...
