A nice, waterproof, warm, stylish, mid length winter coat - does it exist?

I live on the UK's South coast so it never gets very cold. I'm 50, 5ft 6, size 12. I ordered Seasalt's Plant Hunter but felt too big and long. I can't find a coat that is both practical and I feel nice in, with a flattering shape. TIA.

I have a Woolrich one that I got on massive Discount and it’s ideal, also Varley is a good option

Have a look at Didriskons. I have one of their parkas and it’s the best coat I’ve ever had. Practical, very waterproof but also stylish and lovely to wear. They do loads of different styles, colours and shapes too - https://www.didriksons.com/en/women/jackets?gl=11oulje8upMQ..gsMQ..&gclid=Cj0KCQiArtJBhCTARIsADQZaylmXiL1tfrkY3eh3Qilz4zmrGlUaHDHqjVmP3wTZkofjI5x-unwCkaAu9xEALwwcB&gbraid=0AAAAACTh5ABUZFyoR1oDfM39l

Which parka did you buy from them? TIA

Mine is a few years old now but it’s probably closest to the Erna parka in their current collection. I have it in khaki. It has lasted brilliantly and still looks brand new. It’s just a brilliant all round coat!

I love the look of Rainsisters and once Im at the "right" weight, I'm going to treat myself. I may need to have it taken up. Disclaimer - I've never seen them irl.
