Shoppers are flocking to buy a budget-friendly winter coat from Next that has been described as like wearing a duvet whenever you leave the house. The Shower Resistant Hooded Long Padded Puffer Coat is currently in stock online in sizes 6 through to 20, and comes in Petite, Regular and Tall lengths.
There are six colourways to choose from: Black, Berry, Chocolate Brown, Grey, Khaki Green and Teal Grey. The coat is waterproof thanks to its shower-resistant fabric.
Design and features
It is crafted with a longline wadded construction to keep you as warm as possible in the cold winter months. For practicality, it features a hood, pockets, and a drawstring waist to keep you insulated.
The drawstring waist also has the added benefit of giving the illusion of an hourglass silhouette. Hidden inside is an extra pocket, so you can keep your most prized belongings safe when out and about at Christmas markets.
A description of the coat on the Next website reads: "Stay warm and protected from the elements in this shower resistant long wadded coat. Designed in an elongated longline length, it features a cosy hood and an internal waist adjuster to create a flattering, cinched fit. Complete with zip-fastened, fleece-lined pockets to keep hands warm and a handy internal pocket for essentials, it is the ultimate cold-weather coat."
