Summer holidays are well underway, and while kids revel in their long break from school, parents are already thinking ahead. The six weeks seem to fly by, and before we know it, the back-to-school rush will be upon us again.
Many families find themselves scrambling during the last weekend of holiday buying new shoes, tops, and trousers after another unexpected growth spurt. But some prefer to get ahead, especially when it comes to essentials like a school coat. According to EssexLive, one good destination for this is Next, a high-street favorite known for quality children’s clothing.
Next’s Monsoon Black Frill Bow Hooded Coat stands out as a top pick. This machine-washable coat is described as “cute and cosy,” making it perfect for keeping kids warm on chilly autumn and winter school runs. It’s adorned with two charming bow details—one at the waist and another near the hood—adding a touch of style kids will appreciate. Available in sizes from 3-4 years up to 14-15, it suits a wide range of school-aged children.

It’s important to note that the coat comes with a price tag between £58 and £68, depending on the size. Despite that, it remains one of the most popular school coats on Next’s website. While there are not yet reviews for this specific coat, Next boasts a solid reputation with a 4.2-star rating on Trustpilot and 73% of reviews awarding five stars.
For those looking for a more budget-friendly alternative, ASDA George offers a black faux fur trim parka coat priced at £22. This coat matches the same size range and is also machine washable, making it a practical choice.
New Look also features a stylish option: their black faux fur trimmed padded midi school coat (£49.99). This coat includes a faux fur-trimmed hood and side slip pockets, described as offering “cosy warmth for chilly school mornings.”
With so many choices available, parents can find a school coat that balances style, comfort, and practicality well before the holiday frenzy hits.
