I've collected two new winter coats so far this Autumn but I'll start with my favourite.
How amaaazing is this coat?!
I searched high and low for the perfect blue coat. Most of the ones I had seen were way too expensive (but so nice) and I was about to give up hope until I saw Missguided post pictures of their new just in coats and voila.
Priced at £39.99 it's amazing value! The material is a sort of really short faux fur and it's really, really soft to the touch. It's quite a warm jacket, but perhaps on particularly cold days you may need an extra layer underneath. There are two big pockets on the front and there are two clips to join the coat at the front. However, I do find that these can come undone sometimes but it doesn't bother me too much as I like to wear mine open with a scarf.
Also, I'd recommend downsizing as it's already quite oversized (on me anyway but I'm quite petite). I originally had a size 8 but it was waaay too big so I had it swapped for a 6 and there was quite a big difference - although a size 6 is still pretty oversized for me, it's just the right amount of oversizedness (making up words now!).
So if you fancy one for yourself, here's the link http://www.missguided.co.uk/catalog/product/view/id/131060/s/lena-cocoon-coat-blue/category/503/
I'm also sure they do other colours if you're not keen on the blue so check them out!
The other coat I have purchased is this Black Unlined Duster Coat from New Look.
It's a lot lighter than the Missguided coat so it's perfect for days that aren't as chilly. It is essentially an "unlined" coat - there isn't any extra material on the inside. It's just one layer. I'm a sucker for black clothing and this is just perfect for me.
Again, there are two big pockets on the front and a single button/clip to join at the front. I bought this in a size 6 as it is also another slightly oversize design. But saying that, either a 6 or 8 would be fit comfortably.
I bought this coat for £34.99 but it is currently reduced to £26 with the 25% off selected lines. It does come in some lovely other pastel colours too! http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/jackets-and-coats/black-unlined-duster-coat_315306401
