Pick of the High Street: Coats at Topshop



After all that snow last week, winter is definitely still with us and that means there’s still call for coats, which is what I am reviewing today. Topshop have come up with some odd pieces for this spring (see the Playsuits section of their website for the biggest crimes against fashion) but this Red Single Breasted Swing Coat is lovely. I always thought swing coats were the very wide ones but this is fitted and looks very flattering. It’s 72% polyester, 28% wool so should keep you warm, and is £75 which I think is quite reasonable for a coat.


Second is this more spring-like Gathered Back Coat. In a gorgeous shade of Aqua it is lighter weight, made of a mix of cotton and linen. It is described as having a gathered hem at the back so without seeing this it makes it difficult to know what they mean by that. Also the double breasted style makes it impractical for those lucky ladies with a fuller bust. It costs £70.
