New coat

Since losing 5 stone since last winter I have no winter coat. Im off out to look for one today. Im in rural Somerset and the only reliable shop round here is Marks and Spencers. I have my eye on the black trench as it will go with everything I have that's smart.
Is the trench a bit "over" now. I can't order online because I'll need it to fit properly so I have to try things on.
Im also worried it might be too thin and not warm enough.
I have a thick waterproof jacket coat for going out in the country. This coat is for smart outfits only and I don't want to spend a huge amount.
What coats has everyone bought this year?

Somerset never really gets that cold, not like Scotland so I don't need a puffer jacket or anything.

I have a wool mix full length coat from M&S for going out. It has a tie waist which I find comforting lol. I think trench coat is a good way to go for what you want.
