School Coats They'll Actually Want to Wear

As parents, we all understand how difficult it can be to find a school coat that our kids will actually wear.

There are so many factors to consider when choosing a school coat, making it almost mission-impossible; colours, styles, lengths, patterns, hood or no hood? Is it shower resistant or fully waterproof? Will the coat be suitable in the depths of icy winters, but carry them through the milder months too? And, of course, will our kids actually wear the coat without moaning?

This is where TOG24 saves the day with their awesome range of coats for kids, and adults too.

Check out our favourite school coats for your kids, and for the school-run mums...

GIRLS COATS

How cute are these TOG24 coats? You may not have a ski holiday booked, but a ski jacket is a great purchase for those of you living in areas that get harsh winter weather, and the Laithe Kids Ski Jacket currently has £50 off. You can also buy it in two alternative colours. Quilted in durable fabric and designed to withstand the sort of climate you'd expect on a mountain, this coat is both pretty and tough!

The Peckett Kids Raspberry Waterproof Jacket is another good all-rounder, available in four shades and with insulated filling made from recycled bottles! Waterproof, windproof and breathable, this coat perfectly balances style with functionality, so your child will feel effortlessly trendy without feeling the cold too. You can currently save a huge £60 on this coat!

Designed to keep wind out and the heat in, the TOG24 Dollis Kids Coat feels just like a duvet! This extra long coat is thickly padded with a snuggly insulated eco filling made from recycled plastic bottles. With £42 off currently and available in three shades, you're onto a winner. Not only is this coat warm and protective, it's also a very on-trend style and will look great with all outfits, whether uniform or casual.

We also love the Copley Kids Waterproof Jacket - waterproof and breathable, this is ideal for autumn showers and outdoor adventures when the weather isn't great. We like the fully taped seams, designed to keep water out, and the turquoise palm print is gorgeous, although it's one of three options. There's £26 off this coat currently at TOG24.

BOYS COATS

Smart and stylish, the Peckett Kids Waterproof Jacket looks seriously cool in khaki but comes in other shades, and currently has £60 off! It's waterproof, breathable and rainproof. Made from TOG24's signature cotton-feel fabric, this coat is super durable, with fully taped seams and an invisible water repellent coating. It also has a high-performance thermal filling made from recycled plastic bottles to keep your little one toasty this winter - but there's a fishtail vent to ensure they're not too warm! Finished with reflective strips for safety, this coat is a great all-rounder.

We also adore the Stanbury 3-in-1 Golden Yellow Jacket - also available in raspberry - as it's literally three jackets in one and is mega versatile for inclement weather. Waterproof, windproof and breathable, the two layers can be worn together or separated if the temperature rises and falls. There's £30 off this currently! How gorgeous is that bright golden yellow?

For a light and breathable coat that is much warmer than it looks, the Navy Midsley Down Jacket is the perfect coat for your children! They can run around for hours in the cooler weather without getting too sweaty, and remain warm as the temperatures drop, thanks to the duck down filling. It's buttery soft, breathable and extremely versatile as it'll keep your child at a comfortable temperature year-round. There's currently £40 off this coat at TOG24 too.

The Shibden Kids Padded Jacket is another sound choice of coats from Tog24. Lightweight, wind resistant and super soft like the Midsley, this jacket gives warmth without being bulky and heavy, so it's perfect for school days, adventures outdoors and games of football in the cooler months. The sustainable thermal filling is made from recycled plastic bottles too! We also like the reflective strips to add a layer of safety as the nights draw in.

SCHOOL RUN MUM COATS

For school run mums, we couldn't forget to include some fabulous coats from TOG24 for you. For days where you're on the go so a full coat may be too warm, the Newall Long Padded Gilet adds an extra layer without being overly snug, and with gilets such a classic, perenially trendy style, this is a great purchase; it can be worn with trainers, or with smart boots, dressed up and dressed down. The Newall is wind resistant with stud vents and a full length zip guard to keep you at the perfect temperature during the school run.

The Keld Softshell Long Jacket is another gorgeous find that is versatile and will look great with any outfit - it's water-resistant with a handy windproof layer, and designed to keep body heat close to the core, with clever snug bonded microfleece lining. The hood is also adjustable to keep your hair protected, and this coat is also currently half price.

There were so many women's coats at TOG24, we had to share these cute finds. The Craven Waterproof Packaway Jacket is a great find, available in many different prints and colours, with the Abstract Floral catching our eye in particular. This packaway jacket is beautifully versatile, complete with waterproof fabric, fully taped seams and a water-repellent coating. It is also breathable to strike the perfect balance between clammy and chilly! We also love that the hood and hem can be tightened, and that this coat can be folded back down into a handy pouch for easy transport and storage. There's a huge £51 off currently!

Finally, how cool is the Garriston Navy Block Padded Jacket?! This modern jacket gives us sporty vibes and would be great for active mummies who are on the go, but will still look great with a smarter outfit. It's a lightweight and wind resistant jacket with recycled thermal filling to keep the draughts out, but ensure that you don't overheat running around after your kids.

Our verdict...

TOG24 never fails to kit us and our kids out for the autumn and winter! They stock such a brilliant variety of coats for all needs, whether it's a light waterproof you need for the school run, or something thick and warm for the icy winter months. The kids can pick from a fabulous range of colours and prints too, so you'll always spot them in the crowd and they'll never moan about wearing their gorgeous new coats.

The quality at TOG24 is comparable to some seriously excellent high-end outdoor brands, yet their pricing makes TOG24 one of the best value for money brands out there - and with a sale on currently, your purchase may be even more of a bargain.
