SPOTLIGHT: Mustard Coats

Since last year's bitterly cold winter in Durham, I keep on telling myself I need a sensible, warm coat (preferably with a hood) to face Britain's hideous weather.

A year on, and nothing has changed. My very real need for a practical winter coat remains neglected, and I've somehow ended up with two or three more beautiful yet lightweight jackets which, when it comes to the basic requirement of keeping someone warm, frankly defy all logic.

I usually go for quite smart coats, but since conceding that I have to put practicality first, mustard is my colour of choice when it comes to outerwear. As well as being unique in a sea of khaki parkas, it really complements my predominantly monochrome wardrobe. Plus, there's something quite liberating about wearing bright colours when it's cold and dark!

Below are some of my favourites that I've found in the ongoing saga that is "coat-gate":
