Next customers have been rushing to purchase a “gorgeous” winter coat that’s not only been hailed for its “stylish” appearance but also its “amazingly warm” qualities. The Shower Resistant Padded Puffer Hooded Mid-Length Coat tops the bestseller charts on the fashion giant’s website, with hordes of shoppers picking it up to combat the chill of snow and rain.
Retailing at £64, the coat is offered in an array of timeless hues, including classic black, khaki green, and chocolate brown, alongside bolder shades like lime green, rose pink, and even animal print to inject some vibrancy into your winter ensemble. It is available from size six to 24—petite and tall sizes included—and is crafted from sturdy, shower-resistant material replete with pockets, a hood, and a zip fastening to ensure you remain snug and dry amidst dreary weather.
Moreover, the coat has garnered glowing accolades from patrons, one of whom called it “stunning” and remarked that it appears “way more expensive” than its cost, reports Chronicle Live.
One satisfied shopper commented: “Warm, wet resistant, comfortable to wear, stylish and the perfect weight – not too heavy. This is exactly what I was hoping for, a coat to protect me against the winter weather but one that also looks smart.” Another happy buyer exclaimed: “Gorgeous thick padded long coat. Amazingly warm and the concealed hood is a perfect size for heavy rain showers! Quality at a very affordable price. Highly recommend.”
A third shopper left a glowing five-star review, saying: “This coat is of very good quality, very warm to wear, perfect for the coldest of weather and if you forget your gloves, there are spacious pockets too. Very good value for money.”
Another happy customer added their praise: “Absolutely lovely, so warm – feels like a sleeping bag. Just what you need in this weather. Really good quality thick coat.” However, while many other Next customers gave the coat top ratings, not all were impressed.
One reviewer noted: “The coat was very thick and warm but also really bulky and heavy so wouldn’t be appropriate for me for everyday use.” Some had issues with the fit, particularly the sleeve length: “Length was great for a tall coat, but the sleeves were unfortunately too short.”
For those seeking alternatives on the high street, one hot pick at Marks and Spencer is the Thermowarmth Diamond Quilted Padded Coat, retailing at £69. With M&S’s patented Thermowarmth padding and Stormwear technology, this coat vows to keep patrons toasty on even the most frigid winter days, boasting fleece-lined pockets and an internal zip for amplified warmth.
Meanwhile, a different winter coat is leading the New Look bestseller list, with the Faux Fur Coat claiming the top position. Currently discounted from £69.99 to just £36 in all colours, with only a few select sizes remaining, this plush option was a hit during the Christmas party season and has received an impressive average rating of 4.9 out of five stars from New Look customers.
