Are you after a summer coat specifically, or just a coat?

I've got one v similar to this from Warehouse, except mine only has three duffle buttons. It's quite heavy so more for winter but tbh I have had it on this morning in town! It's really flattering, and I've had lots of comments about it.

If you want something a bit more lightweight, H&M have some nice coats in

More of a spring/summer coat-it needs a hood though as an umbrella isn't very practical for me now with a buggy!
The coat in that link though is lovely.

Oh I remember those days of not being able to hold an umbrella, well! I spent most of my days with frizzy hair!

I have a bright pink Crag Hoppers coat for when it's wet. It's not very stylish though, so not sure if you'll be interested!

hoping there might be some more suggestions today!

I have the same dilemma and am thinking of getting this yellow coat. They also have a similar one in some other colours. Am put off by the price and the fact that Aubin and Wills is owned by the Jack Wills people, but I have been hankering after a yellow raincoat for literally years, and bought my husband a cardigan from them in the sale, which is great quality (super warm) and he loves. Will wait to see if anyone has any other suggestions.
