Smart but comfy outer garment for travelling

I'll try and explain what I'm trying to find and maybe you lovely people could help me find it....

I want something to wear when travelling eg in the airport, on the plane, cooler evenings.

Cosy as a fleece or cardigan but smarter, longer than a blazer and comfier. Possibly a 'coatigan', but not seeing any I like.

Needs to come at least to the bottom of my buttocks, as I like to wear longer tops and don't like tops to show under outerwear.

Most of my holiday tops/dresses are patterned so need this thing to be plain or plain enough to wear with patterns .

I prefer autumnal colours, don't wear pinks or baby blues/soft greens. I'm trying to move away from everything I wear being black but would consider.

I'm 5'4 and size 14 so need something that wouldn't make me look too dumpy.

Budget £50-£60. Preferably less.

Thank you!

I have something like Felicity Beedle, my fabulous stepmum bought it for me and it's reversible (grey on one side, cream on the other).

Before Covid when I used to fly long haul for work often, it came with me on every work trip. Really good to have something like that in your carry on as planes can get chilly sometimes, and I could basically use it like a jacket, blanket or scarf, or occasionally rolled up as a pillow.

I'd head to Uniqlo, they have lots of the kind of thing you describe. I bought a long dark grey knitted belted cardigan there recently for WFH in colder months, it's lovely. Inexpensive and perfect to chuck on over any outfit.
