Hey all I’ve been looking for a new coat and I’m not really getting anywhere.

recently lost a lot of weight and I’m freezing every time I leave the house. So I’m looking for a padded parka style coat that covers my bum, in any of a light spring colour palette shades ( I tend to favour colour over neutrals but could be very tempted by a cream/oatmeal colour).

it doesn’t need to be fully water proof, but shower resistant of possible? just mostly for shopping, school runs, odd farm /park trips. I don’t want your bog standard £39.99 padded “sausages stacked on top of each other “ looking coat but would prefer something with a bit of shape and ideally if possible with gold zip and toggles but that’s not 100% needed if I love the shape/style.

possibly going to be paired with a pair of adidas Gazelles and worn with typical jeans/trousers and jumpers/ T-shirts for daily wear. Size 14-16 but if I had to choose a size I’d go with 14 instead of 16 as I’m still losing weight (although slowing down)

budget is up to £200 due to being given money specifically for a coat by a family member. This is more than I’d normally spend. I’ve looked at m and m direct, sports direct but not really found anything I like.

Have a look at Passenger. They have warm padded coats in lovely colours.
