It’s that time of year again when the temperature drops, and we’re all searching for the perfect coat to keep us warm and stylish. As a busy mum, I know how tricky it can be to find coats that not only look good but also work for those hectic school runs, playground visits, and work meetings in between. Take a look at some of my faves!
(So many of you have asked, coat from Superdry at JL)
The Ultimate Puffer
If you’re like me and constantly moving (and usually running late), a lightweight puffer coat is an absolute must. It’s warm without the bulk, and I love how it can be dressed up or down. Plus, they easily cover up a slapdash outfit! Shop Puffer Coats >
The Waterproof Wonder
We all know the unpredictable weather can be a challenge, right? Enter the waterproof parka. It’s my go-to for rainy school runs or outdoor adventures with the kids (or dogs if you have them). It keeps me dry, looks fab, and has plenty of room for layering on colder days and more practical for hot and sweaty commuting! Shop Raincoats >
The Sophisticated One
For those days when you want to look a bit more polished, perhaps a nice lunch out or a business meeting, a tailored coat is a game changer. It makes me feel put together even if I’m just throwing it on over jeans and a jumper. Shop Smart Coats >
