Do stylish waterproof winter coats exist?

[Loulabelle1234]

I know the weather has just started getting better but I have a birthday coming up and I really need a winter coat. I have 2 warm winter dog walking coats but they're awful (but practical) I want a waterproof winter coat with a hood that I can wear on days or evenings out and not look like a tramp. I live in the North East and our weather can be awful in the winter. I keep looking but I can't find anything! My budget would be £200.00 max. I like grey, black navy, khaki or dark brown. I would really appreciate your recommendations otherwise I'll end up using my dog walking coats again.

Trespass Audrina. It's everything you want. It comes in a few colours. Ive got the navy blue and it's gorgeous

I have this trench coat from next and I’ve wore it in the heaviest of rains and keeps me completely dry https://www.next.co.uk/style/su410909/av1049?gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22010976905&gbraid=0AAAAADm_5UWn7lZ_OCyriIw7xhwxfS9GD#AV1049

Oh no it’s not this exact one as mine has a hood but I only bought it at the end of last year so they should still sell it, it was only £90 and I got it tailored as I’m short

I've got a Didrickson winter coat bought in sale last Summer after recommendation here. Amazing, Warm and waterproof.
Currently eying up a Stutterheim lightweight packable for summer rain.

I've got coats from Finesterre - longish waxed jacket style Parka.
And a long line puffa coat from Passenger.
Rohan is also worth a look as occasionally they have a 'city style' long waterproof/mac.

Trench coats can look stylish and quite posh.

Yes, I wear mine with jeans or trousers most of the time. If you look at reviews on their website there’s usually photos of customers wearing them with trousers too. They are every bit as nice with jeans/trousers as they are with dresses.

@MuthaHubbardI find mine warm enough, maybe less so in proper minus conditions but I’m in Scotland so when it gets cold it’s gets very cold. I find it warm enough in most weathers though, just not below freezing days.

Etage. Danish brand. TK Maxx.

Have a shorter one and a longer one from these.

Well now I have spent £173 on a new coat 😂😂😂

Another rainsisters recommendation- I adore mine (beige with the big bow). I get stopped in the City asking where it’s from.

I also have a sweaty Betty nimbus which is waterproof and very warm for minus 0 watching football (PL and DC) but it’s not stylish.

Sorry if I enabled you but also delighted for you! Which one have you ordered?

I happened upon a knee-length Craghoppers cost in a charity shop, and have worn it for two winters! Warm, hood, waterproof and it's not too 'outdoorsy' so goes with most clothes.

It's a bit like this, which happens to be on a massive discount!

I've had my eye on Rainsisters for a while. How do you find the sizing? I particularly like this one..

Fit and Flare Coat with A-Line Skirt in White | 'Charming Rose' – RainSisters

@Tarragon123that is such a pretty design. I find the sizing pretty accurate- I’m a size 10 and wear small or medium depending if I want to be able to wear a sweater underneath. I’m short so order the petite sizing too which works well for me. There’s a Facebook group for RainSisters Pre-Loved Coats where loads of customers share their measurements and what size works for them if that would help too.

Waterproof, stylish and a hood

these really are beautifully made , lovely fabric and engineered to be really waterproof.

I have an Ilse Jacobsen rain coat. It’s so flattering on, maybe it’s not warm enough for middle of winter but they have a whole range and I feel like a put together Scandinavian lady when I wear it 😅

Another fan of Rainsisters, I have this one and love it. I’m a 16 and bought XL. I get compliments every time I wear it. They are beautifully finished and lined which adds warmth. The photos don’t show the inside but it’s a soft pink satin.

The one you linked 😊

I love that craghoppers one. Very good price too!

Such a beautiful coat! I hope you love it!

Another RainSisters fan here. I bought the one linked to by @englishandelegant, but with the emerald lining last year and have just bought the spring season light grey trench - which arrived today!

Whenever I’ve worn the black one I’ve had loads of compliments. I wear mine with dresses but I live in dresses most of the time anyway. I’m now looking forward to it raining again so I can give the grey one a whirl!

Sizing wise I am a 10, perhaps creeping towards a 12 and have them in medium. When I originally ordered I got the small but it was a tad too snug around the waist. Their returns process was really easy and they actually sent the new one as soon I provided proof I had sent the small one back.

I love rainsisters coats and finally took the plunge and bought one, but unfortunately they don't love me so I had to send it back 😢
The material is lovely and they are so stylish I just needed to be taller and a bit thinner

@Flamingmentalcats that’s a shame it didn’t work for you. I order the petite every time as I’m definitely not tall either but if you’re particularly petite (4’10 or under) I can understand they’d probably be too long even in petite.
