A white snow jacket? Out of fashion or has enough time passed?

They were ubiquitous in about 2012-13 I know, but that was nearly a decade ago now.

I want a warm coat but not a dark drab grey or black one. I have a black north face brooklyn parka and i like that its waterproof and warm but feel so invisible in it.

I was looking for a new winter jacket over the weekend and there are quite a few white ones.

What colours do you normally wear? How about cream? Not quite as stark and goes with more IMO.

It can be difficult for avalanche rescue teams to find you in the snow, so make sure that at least you choose a brightly coloured handbag.

...and matching bobble hat.

This is my main concern!

Apparently you can wash a waterproof padded jacket with liquid detergent, no fabric softener!

My friend had one like this www.tkmaxx.com/uk/en/women/activewear/outdoor/outdoor-jackets/white-faux-hood-fur-ski-jacket/p/07064624 and I thought it looked great on her. However it got destroyed when she tried to wash it as being white it got dirty very quickly.

Where did you see them? Can you remember? I have not seen that many. Roxy and Tommy Hilfiger and that's about it.

I love white jackets/coats but they do get grubby

What about a white quilted puffer instead?

Not at all what I meant, but Zara have this…

I've got a white snow coat. It... erm... matches the rest of my style! No gold teeth though 😆 . It reminds me of the 90's and I love it.

As long as you are prepared to keep it clean go for it.

I had a white one last year just as I adopted a puppy. It was a very very bad idea. My new winter coat is navy blue.

You may be better at not having muddy paw prints from chest to hem!

Don’t know if this is a good or a bad thing for you but they’re quite sexy female Bond villain, Roger Moore era.

I fucking LOVE white ski jackets and East 17 are neither here nor there.

My DP vetoed an absolute cracker a few years ago in Tkmaxx and I still regret backing down. (Down! Lol!)

My sister in law who is the absolute last word in scandi chic got a red, white and blue ski jacket in H&M last year, total Last Christmas vibes, and she looked stunning.

You're a long time dead!
