Coat for teenager who won't wear a coat!

I need a coat that's not a coat for teenage DD. Something warmish and vaguely showerproof, but is definitely not a coat.

Maybe a hoodie or something? Bonus points if black and baggy...

What do your teenagers wear?

There is literally no point in buying a coat for a teenager who doesn't want to wear one. Save your money.

If they get cold and wet, maybe they will decide that they DO need a coat, and then they can choose one they like.

I know, and that's why I'm not looking for a coat 😁

Dry robe?

Body warmer ?

She won't wear a coat so dont waste money. I went the other way and bought pretty thermal vests which got worn every day.

You can get waterproof "oodies"
Dd didn't have one last year as she refused to wear one and was cold. She asked for one this year😁

When she's not looking can you spray a light coating of waterproofing spray on her favourite hoody 😂

Teenage DD settled for a North Face rain mac this year. Last year she didn't wear a coat at all even in the snow.
