Fashion aficionados across the UK are enthusiastically embracing a trench coat described as having 'a difference' from high street retailer Next. The Dolly Trench Coat, priced at an accessible £66, is generating significant buzz for its elegant design and versatile appeal.
Shopper Reviews Highlight Elegance and Fit
Customers who have purchased the coat are particularly vocal about its sophisticated appearance. Multiple reviews on Next's website describe the garment as looking 'very elegant,' with one shopper, Kirsty, noting it offers a 'great fit' and works well with both smart and casual outfits like denims. The coat currently holds an impressive 4.6-star rating based on customer feedback.
Key Features and Available Options
The Dolly Trench Coat is designed to combine style with practicality. According to the product description, it features shower-resistant fabric to keep wearers dry, a flattering 'dolly' shape for a smart finish, and charming details like a polka dot lining and a classic storm flap. It is marketed as a versatile layer suitable for any occasion.
The coat is available in two classic colourways: a vibrant red and a neutral sand. It comes in a comprehensive size range from UK 6 to 22, with options for both regular and petite fittings, aiming to cater to a wide audience. However, potential buyers are advised to act promptly, as some sizes have already begun selling out due to its popularity.
Important Sizing Considerations from Buyers
A recurring theme in customer reviews is the coat's fit. Several shoppers have reported that the garment tends to come up larger than expected. Helen, a customer, mentioned she usually takes a size 10 in jackets but found the Dolly Trench Coat too big, ultimately opting for a size 8 for a comfortable fit, even over a winter jumper. Another shopper, Wil, who is 5'1", also downsized from her usual size 12 to a 10.
While feedback is overwhelmingly positive, it is not without minor critique. One customer, Babs, commented that while the fabric was nice, she found the buttons 'fiddly and awkward' and the A-line style less flattering for her, leading her to return the item.
Styling and Value for Money
Shoppers have emphasised the coat's perceived value, with Wil stating the 'quality is superb for the money paid.' The £66 price point positions it as an affordable entry into a timeless wardrobe staple. The coat's design allows it to be dressed up or down, making it a practical purchase for the transitional British weather.
The Dolly Trench Coat is available for purchase directly on Next's website. For those seeking alternative trench coat styles, Next also offers a Green Check Reversible Trench Coat for £95. Beyond Next, the market features other options, such as a reduced leopard print trench from Nobody's Child and a belted midi coat on sale at New Look.
