There’s no finer fashion investment than a quality winter coat. It will serve you for years and, crucially, keep you snug and warm when you’re out and about. If you can find something that’s adaptable and can match any outfit, then that’s even better.

This Cautley long padded shower-resistant jacket from Debenhams fits the bill perfectly. It is also £71 off its usual price, meaning you can grab it for just £89 instead of the regular price of £160.

A significant advantage is the length of this jacket, as it’s long enough to cover your legs to prevent any cold breeze or rain from leaving you with chilly extremities. It’s designed with insulation made from a high-performance filling which also has an added bonus: it is made from recycled plastic bottles, reported Wales Online.

This purchase is also sustainable and provides a great alternative to down fillers often used in coats. It features a full front zip that you can open two ways and a really substantial, chunky hood with some thick draw cords, which will save you from fumbling around to locate them.

The inner collar is padded for comfort, and it has elastic cuffs, so there’s little chance of air blowing up a sleeve! The Debenhams coat has been receiving glowing reviews on its website. One satisfied customer shared: “I have ordered the blue one, and the colour is way too beautiful in real life. It’s a very well-made and very warm coat.”

Another highlighted the practicality of the hood, commenting: “Fabulous coat . So warm . Hood is brilliant and protects you fully when raining or windy”. Comfort was the key for another, who described it as “very comfortable and does the job.”

A buyer gave the following advice regarding the fit: “True to size, but if you want a tight fit, size down.” Meanwhile, another shopper encountered a minor issue, stating, “For some reason, the size on the cardboard label said a different size to the size on the label in the jacket.”

Despite this, with 18 out of 20 reviews giving it a full five stars, the Debenhams coat is clearly a crowd-pleaser. For those looking for alternatives, Hollister offers a hooded puffer jacket priced at £69.95, although it’s shorter. For full coverage, Asos has a maxi puffer coat available.

Yet, with such strong endorsements forthe Debenhams coat, it appears to be an excellent choice for anyone seeking both style and warmth this winter.
