Nice (and warm) football mum coat!

I'm starting this by saying DO NOT suggest a dry robe because hell will freeze over before I stand on the sidelines in a dry robe.

I am looking for a nice warm, waterproof coat to get me through the cold dark winter but I still want it to look nice and stylish as I'll no doubt wear it on other occasions. I am short so nothing too long and I prefer belted as I just look like a blimp when a coat is shapeless.

Any recommendations?

After MANY MANY MANY (not that I'm bitter) years on the football sidelines, I have tried a lot of coats, and I have to say, my best recommendation is to look at coats people use for walking, and layer - I have a barbour, which I can't find a link to as it's a kids one from vinted and old now! I hated the sleeping bag style coats, they were bulky and uncomfortable and never felt that warm. Instead I wore a base layer, a jumper, and the jacket and good gloves and socks, and it worked a lot better!
