Short jacket/coat

I’m trying to up my style game. I’ve had two kids and just gone back to work after my mat leave. I’m trying to feel more like a whole human than just mum. Essentially, I am a giant cliché.

I need some advice, wise ladies. I would like to buy a short jacket or coat but I don’t know what to get.

If it’s relevant, I am a size 6, average height but with quite a short waist. I like to wear leggings and trainers if I’m home with the kids or midi skirts/dresses if we’re doing something more exciting or for work. I like quite bright bold patterns and block colours, less keen on florals. If it’s hot, or even warm, I can get dressed no problem. I have outfits I like and a denim jacket if I need one. (I am aware it’s a little dated but it’s the best I’ve got.) When it’s a bit cooler, I really don’t know what to wear! I chuck on a mid length coat which I know is all wrong!! I do have a long wool coat which is great for work but rubbish for family life so it’s barely left the house in the past few years!

Please help!
