Red Coat?

I really fancy a longish (knee length?) bright red smart coat, following the theory that if I shove it on, with a pair of black boots, it doesnt matter if I look like a bag of shite underneath...

Anyone seen anything?

I thought exactly the same before Christmas. It does the trick very well.
I got mine in TK max..

Hope you find what you're looking for.

This if you're an 8... or this if a 16 or 18... or this if you're feeling flush, this if you're not.

Ooh, that Coast one is gorgeous, tethers.

I saw a lovely one in the Monsoon sale today - can't find it online though, sorry.

Loving your style, geordieminx I'd be doing the same if I wasn't pregnant.

Ooooo Love the first one you linked to - unfortunately I wouldnt fit my ample bust/bum/arms/thighs/anything into a size 8 Would need a 12, maybe even a 14.

Not fussed on the JL one, which is a shame as I have vouchers left over from wedding, but I do like the dp one.

I have a lovely red coat from matalan, I have had loads of compliments on it and can dress it up with red heels or dress down with my red patent dm's. A friend did remark on how brave I am as a plus size woman to wear such a bright coat to draw attention to myself Im dark haired too

Any here ?

tiredoftherain · 02/01/2010 22:15

Get to Monsoon! There was the most stunning one in there yesterday, exactly as you describe.

i got one in RI, not a bright red though, just a slight darker, i cant link from their site though. So www.riverisland.co.uk page 8 on the ladies sale coats. It does the trick.
