The weather may be a bit balmy at the moment but we have to face the inevitable: the temperature will drop and coats will become our best friend. Luckily for us, we have a wide range of beautiful coats which will protect you from whatever winter throws at us. Think of it as a comforting hug, if you will. We thought we’d ask the wonderful Zoë from the inspiring Dress Like A Mum to show the world just how great our coats are. Without further ado, here is the lovely lady herself in her stylish Laura Ashley winter coat…

Hello! I’m Zoe from Dress Like A Mum and I’m on a mission to show the world that Mums are cool. Part of what my DRESS LIKE A MUM campaign is about is to make a stand against assumptions that are made about Mums, how we dress, what we like and how we behave. Let’s put an end to stereotypes – we are in the 21st century after all!

I want to dress how I want and I’m so glad to see such great fashion at Laura Ashley. After browsing the current collection there were a few things that caught my eye and this leopard print coat was one of them.

I love leopard print (I see there are other leopard print items, too!) and I also love a statement winter coat. It’s too easy to go for a neutral black coat because it goes with everything – people forget that colours do, too! With winter generally being rather grey (at least in London!), it’s good to have a pop of colour! It’s the item of clothing that you’ll wear the most in the winter so it’s important you love it. And obviously, it would be rude not to pair your coat with a Laura Ashley bag, such as one of their super handy shopper bags.

I like to make a statement with my clothes, usually the statement is fun and colourful. I also like to mix smart and casual clothes, basically things that work well for every occasion. The cut of this coat is modern but classic and the style goes with everything; I love that it can be dressed up or down! When it gets really cold, I will team it with a big scarf and woolly hat. I am looking forward to spending winter with this coat!
