Despite the sun showing its face and giving us a break from the rain, there’s still a chill in the air that inspires us to indulge in a little retail therapy to help us prepare for the colder seasons. And a coat at Roman gives us all cozy vibes while being super chic. Available in both taupe and sage, the high street fashion brand’s Diamond Quilted Funnel Coat is a great choice for your fall wardrobe thanks to its quilted padding and earthy hues.
With a mother-of-pearl finish, the coat, which costs £65 here, has a relatively oversized fit, meaning it looks chic with baggy jeans and a baby jumper but can also be worn with a sweater underneath, should you need it in chilly temperatures . Coming in sizes 10 to 20, the coat has been designed with a full zip front that converts into a funnel neck to keep your neck toasty.
What’s more, the Roman coat has a storm flap which can help protect you further from Britain’s windy elements – which are always needed during the autumn – winter months.

While super practical, the style of the Taupe Diamond Quilted Funnel Coat is elegant with its diamond stitching and is shaped through the waist with a sack hem, making it a great option for a walk along the coast as well as when you’re on the go. out for brunch.
Although the coat is relatively new to the Roman website, it has already received a five-star review praising it for being “too nice not to have” for autumn. They wrote: “Love this look and color, great style, right weight for fall, versatile, dress up or down. I ordered a size larger (20) than my usual with Roman (18) because I’m pear shaped and wanted to ensure I could zip all the way on a cold day, so a size up is perfect.
Despite noting that “the shoulders are therefore a bit wider than my normal”, they added: “with autumn and winter sweaters underneath and scarves which will be fine. It’s too nice not to have!”
The taupe color proved to be a popular option for many shoppers thanks to its “neutral” shades that can be worn “with most things.” One commented: “Lovely colour, light for spring and fall weather.”
As it’s fresh on the website there are zero negative reviews to leave but one thing we notice straight away is that it’s not described as waterproof, has been made from (presumably untreated) polyamide and doesn’t have a hood either, so it’s best to wear it in mind when you take a coat to protect you from the rain. Even if you are heading out into drier weather, you have nothing to worry about.

Get it here for £84.99. Even if you’re looking for a coat to protect you from the rain, this Mountain Warehouse Padded Jacket in a darker taupe color is reduced to £59.99 from £99.99 here.
