Padded coats can sometimes look a bit cumbersome and not particularly flattering.
That's why shoppers are raving about a new Shower Resistant Padded Hooded Longline Coat from Next.
It's the choice of colours that does it - particularly the blue gingham, green khaki and burgundy red.
There's also black, ecru cream and navy for those that prefer a more traditional look.

And Amazon has a Dare2b Women's Padded Jacket that's reduced from £79.95 to £75.45.
The Next coat gets an overall 4.6 star rating from more than 200 reviews. One happy shopper said: "Purchased this coat when it came online as new stock (January).
"The reason I purchased it was because I’d purchased a similar coat from Next two years ago and this new style is similar but longer and I loved the gingham design as it’s different.
"And since wearing this coat I’ve had many compliments. Only downside is it did come with wrinkles but that never put me off the coat. Definitely a good purchase."
Another added: "I was looking for my next iconic coat and stumbled upon this one whilst doing some Christmas shopping. It's a stunner - great fit, great colour and a touch of class. Loads of compliments from everyone."
A third agreed: "Good length for me as I am short. Loved the gingham material and very cosy in this cold weather."
However, one was disappointed: "The only issue I have is the hood is one that's concealed therefore not a very good hood. Apart from that it was a good fit and will keep you warm on the winter days."
Next describes the coat as follows: "Discover the perfect, versatile piece for your winter wardrobe with this shower-resistant padded coat.
"Its longline design and cosy hood ensure warmth, while the concealed zip and popper fastening offer a clean, sleek look. Style it effortlessly with trainers or boots for daily wear."
