Hello,
I'm looking for a new autumn/winter coat. If I describe myself/lifestyle as well.
I'm size 14 in coats normally. I like a bit of space. I'm nearly 50 but look much younger. I'm only 5ft 3" inch so long coats are no good really. I don't want a black/grey/navy coat as they're so dull and i'm out and about in the dark sometimes.
I get up and catch an early morning bus at 7.15am. My bus journey is between 30 to 40 mins long. I don't drive. So I'd like a coat that can cope with weird British weather especially when it rains suddenly. Have been caught short before and got drenched. Will only use an umbrella if I have to, as there's nowhere to put a wet brolly on the bus. My walk to/from the bus stop is about 5 mins at each end. Sometimes as with public transport, there's a bit of waiting around. Luckily both bus stops are under cover as sometimes I take an afternoon bus instead of morning.
I like to be warm but not too warm as the bus can be warm inside.
I like a hooded coat. I don't like the A line style that flares out at the bottom as I've had them before and its drafty. I'm straight up and down bodyshape wise. Traditional rain coats seem so rubbery and make me too hot. I would ideally like the coat to cover my bum as I don't want a cold wet bum. I appear to be a fussy bugger but really i'm not.
That's about it really. No dog walking involved as I have a cat only.
Thanks very much.
