This long puffer parka falls to mid-calf and has a hood, so you are covered from head to shin on freezing days. It is a proper winter long puffer coat for anyone who stands at a bus stop or waits at the school gate in January.

The padded panels run in horizontal channels around the body and sleeves. The stand-up hood has a drawstring so you can pull it in when the wind picks up. Side pockets are easy to reach with cold hands, and snap-button vents at the hem let you walk and climb stairs without the coat pulling tight around your legs.

Wear it over jeans and boots for errands, over a knit dress for a night out in the cold, or just over joggers on the school run. The glossy black finish wipes down easily after a wet day.

• Long mid-calf length | Covers your thighs and knees when the wind is cold
• Padded box-quilted panels | Add insulation where you need it most
• Hood with drawstring | Adjusts to keep out the wind and rain
• Side pockets | Somewhere for your hands, keys and phone
• Snap-button hem vents | Make walking and sitting down more comfortable

This is a roomy cut that leaves space for a jumper underneath. If you like it closer to the body, size down.
