A coat I bought from New Look has quickly become the best I’ve ever owned.
Over the years I’ve bought many coats and jackets with high hopes they’ll tick all the boxes, but none have succeeded so far. That was until I bought a coat online from New Look a few weeks ago.
I was on the hunt for one that was mid-length, waterproof and would keep me warm as I was going away to Anglesey where I’d be doing lots of walking.

New Look is often the first place I look when clothes shopping, as I find you can buy a variety of stylish items that are great quality without breaking the bank. I had a look at a selection of coats and jackets, but it was the Khaki Belted Puffer that stood out to me.
The coat was a decent length, claimed to be waterproof and looked warm and cosy. It also had a fur-trimmed hood and zipped pockets, plus the belted detail made it look stylish.
I then noticed the coat was on sale for £42.74 down from £56.99, so I quickly found my size (14) and added it to my basket.
When it arrived a few days later I was very impressed. The fit is perfect - it isn’t too tight or restrictive, so I can move my arms without feeling like the seams might burst which is a problem I’ve found with a few coats!
There’s also room to wear a cosy jumper underneath for extra warmth which is what I often do in the winter. The quality of the coat is exceptional and the colour is gorgeous. It looks just how it did in the photos on New Look’s website.
I can confirm the coat is waterproof and I’m very impressed with the hood. I often find hoods can be too big and hang over my face making it hard to see, but I didn’t have this problem with the New Look coat.
The two zipped pockets are very secure and are a decent size. They’re big enough to fit my large iPhone in one and my purse and keys in the other - perfect for quick walks to the shop!
The length of the coat was just what I was after, as I can sit down on a bench with the coat acting like a cushion while I take in the views on my walks or enjoy a takeaway coffee.
I’ve only had the coat for a few weeks, but I’ve already worn it more times than some of my other coats I’ve had for a couple of years. It’s quickly become my go-to and I think I’ll be relying on it to keep me warm and dry for a long time!
The New Look Khaki Belted Puffer coat is available to buy online here and it's still on sale for £42.74.
