Parka replacement suggestions please!

I've just pulled my parka out of storage and it needs replacing.

I need something in a size 18, with a hood, preferably no longer than just below knee length. I would actually prefer it shorter than that. Water resistant.
I would like something I can wear from mid September through to April, so it doesn't need to be particularly warm, happy to layer underneath on the coldest days.
What is on trend, but rural area wearable, for AW?

I bought this last year, it's quite a dark mustard and I believe they also did it in navy and burgundy. Whether it's on trend or not is a different matter but it fits well (curvy 16).

Get a fairly lightweight water-resistant mid-thigh parka style from an outdoors brand in a colour that will go with anything, and wear a fleece underneath when it's very cold.

My suggestion was a practical one, not necessary a stylish one, but a decent brand should last a few years, and keep you dry.

Try a Rains one. Jolly nice.
