At this time of year, a duvet-style coat comes into its own for warmth and versatility – and can be thrown on over just about any outfit. I think this padded puffer from New Look nails the balance between practicality and style. Plus, thanks to Black Friday sales, the price has dropped to under £65.
The coat falls just below the knee and comes in three easy-to-wear colours: black, chocolate brown and a beige.
It comes in sizes 6 to 22, and at the time of writing all are available in every colour. It has a high neck and a hood for extra protection from the elements, and there are zippable side slits so it’s not too restrctive.
Customers have left many positive reviews for the coat. One user wrote: « Cosy, warm and padded winter coat. It’s perfect for the cold weather it’s long and warm. Love the hood and neck feature. »
Another who bought the brown version said: « Great puffer coat! Kept me nice and snug for a firework display and should keep me cosy for the winter months. Fits well and looks good. Enough room to wear a few layers so not restrictive. »
A few reviewers shared that it wasn’t quite as imagined, with one writing: « Nice coat and colour but thinner than expected and the padding wasn’t as puffy as it seemed in the photo. » Another, who also said it was « lighter than expected » added that they felt it was « great if you don’t want a coat that’s too thick and heavy ».
