Winter in Lincolnshire can be quite changeable - one minute bright sunshine, the next a hail storm! A great coat isn’t just a wardrobe addition, it is a winter essential. Winter in our region isn’t just about the cold, it is about unpredictable weather. You need something that is warm, water-resistant and can block the strong winds out. A good coat needs to handle muddy dog walks on the marshes, a blustery school run and a cosy evening out.
With that in mind, here are some of our top picks of the best women’s coats for a damp, breezy Lincolnshire winter.
Styled Up - Every Day Reliability
The Dolcezza Women’s Waterproof/Wind Resistant Jacket is a brilliant coat if you are outdoors a lot but want to keep things stylish. It features a hood with drawstrings, zip and press-stud fastenings, and has a waterproof, wind-proof outer shell. Perfect for those blustery Lincolnshire coastal winds, and with its distinctive, stylish look you will stand out in the crowd.
Another top pick from the Dolcezza brand is the Women’s Quiet Rose Jacket with its stunning rose print. Ideal for those days that are chilly but not freezing, this jacket is a lighter option that is easy to dress up or dress down. Versatile enough to wear for work, shopping or brunch with the girls.
Warm & Snug For Frosty Mornings
The Rino & Pelle Nusa Coat is a standout coat for winter, mixing everyday practicality with a subtle micro-snake pattern giving it a modern look. Its longline shape offers great coverage against chilly winds, while the soft, padded design helps keep you warm on cold Lincolnshire days. Finished with a hood and sleek fastenings, it is the perfect coat when you want something cosy and contemporary.
Versatile For Unpredictable Weather
The Sonja jacket is ideal for a Lincolnshire winter where the weather changes by the hour. Its reversible design gives you two completely different looks in one - a softer rose tone on one side, and a patterned finish on the other. It is padded for warmth, but not too bulky so is a great choice for the school run or daily errands. With its lightweight feel, it is a brilliant choice for when you want something practical, cosy and easy to switch up depending on your outfit.
The Ihtazi raincoat from ICHI is also a brilliant choice for those wet, blustery Lincolnshire days when staying dry is important. It has a modern look and its long length provides practical coverage from showers and wind. Lightweight yet protective, it is perfect for in-between seasons when the temperatures are mild, but the rain sets in.
Chic & Timeless - Perfect for A Day Out
If you are looking for something a little smarter for winter, the Cecile coat is the ideal choice. Its soft birch melange colour gives it a neutral but elegant look that works for workdays, meals out or festive events. The tailored silhouette & double-breasted style creates a stylish finish, while the cosy material keeps you warm without being overly padded. A great option when you want a sleek, sophisticated layer that is still comfortable for the colder months.
Keeping Warm During Cold Spells
The Rino & Pelle women’s bubbly jacket is a cosy layer with a super soft feel, perfect for keeping you warm during the winter months. Available in a range of neutral colours, its quilted design adds warmth without weighing you down.
How To Choose a Coat for the Lincolnshire Winter
When shopping for the perfect coat this winter, here are a few things to consider:
1. Weather conditions matter
If you spend a lot of time outdoors dog walking or commuting, then a waterproof or wind-resistant coat is the best option. If the weather is chilly but mostly dry, then you should be fine with a quilted or padded coat that will keep you warm without overheating.
2. Length & coverage
Longer coats like parkas and longline puffers give a bit more coverage against wind and cold, and are easy to throw on for early-morning starts. Shorter jackets, on the other hand, are better for days when you need a bit more mobility (for example popping to the shops).
3. Style vs practicality
Some coats are more on the stylish side, which are great for social occasions, whereas others prioritise function (waterproofing and warmth). A good strategy here is to own at least two winter coats: one for everyday practicality, and one for social occasions.
Wardrobe Combinations for Rural Life
- School run or work commute: pair a waterproof or padded coat with boots and a sturdy bag.
- Weekend countryside walks: longline or parka coats will keep you warm and shielded from the wind. Add a scarf & cosy hat for maximum comfort.
- Brunch or festive outings: a quilted coat gives a more refined, elegant silhouette while still being practical.
