Spring coat/jackets with some warmth

8 replies

WhatWouldTheDoctorDo · 18/03/2022 13:32

I've lost some weight (hurrah), but I've realised all my spring outerwear is now far too big.

Ideally I'd like something smart/casual that has a bit of warmth (I live in Scotland), and is fitted (shapeless styles don't suit me at all) to see me through to warmer weather.

Something I can wear if going into town/more casual days in the office etc. I'm around a size 10/small and generous of boob and I don't like belts on jackets).

Anyone seen anything that would fit the bill?

A wee nudge for the evening crowd...

I have a Barbour spring jacket similar to this one

www.barbour.com/uk/barbour-deveron-quilt

It serves me well from mid March to the end of October. I’ve had it about 5 years now and it still looks new. Their sizing can be odd though so I found I had to try a couple of different sizes

Thanks! Funnily enough, my go to jacket in colder spring weather is a quilted Barbour jacket but it's ridiculously big now. I think the one linked to might be a tad short for me but I was have a look at what else they have in stock this year.

I live in Scotland too and like my down jacket for this time of year, still warm but light. I got mine from M&S

For work I wear a trench, something like this. I have a bright pink one and a black.

Thanks @User7853367 I am veering down a puff style route. I don't love a trench usually, but you've reminded me that I do have one for work in late spring/early summer that will also be too big for me. Haven't worn it for the last couple of years of course so I had forgotten about it. That pink one might fit the bill.

I have a michel kors one
Zippy pockets, detachable hood
Light padding and can go into a bag
I have a Barbour lightly padded one too but I like a hood in case of spring shower
If you can get to a TKMaxx, the have similar ones from MK and others in there

Thanks all. I got a puffer one in the end - must buy a new brolly for spring showers!
