At your school drop off are all the mums in navy knee length parkas?

I have to admit, I have this as my current winter jacket. I need a new one as it’s looking pretty old. But I notice that it is almost a uniform for the mums where I am. I feel a bit cliche walking around in one now! What makes a good alternative winter coat? It needs to be casual and suit dog walking too?

Can anyone recommend a good one? I’m happy to be a sheep as long as I’m warm!

I have this one from Seasalt and it’s fabulous, warm and waterproof and long so no nippy bum cheeks www.seasaltcornwall.com/fleece-lined-waterproof-womens-janelle-coat

Have noticed a lot of dry robes at pick up. It looks a bit odd.

I noticed this last week. Everyone wears knee length navy padded coats. I have a black waist length one. I’m clearly out of touch.
