Seeking Plus Size Coat in London
Hi everyone! I’m visiting from the U.S., and unfortunately, my luggage hasn’t arrived yet. I’m in need of a warm wool coat or something similar since I don’t have a jacket with me. I’m a size 14-16, and I’ve struggled to find good options in my size. I’m currently staying near Trafalgar Square, so any nearby store recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Update: I found a coat! I checked H&M, Primark, and Next, but they all had switched to spring styles and didn’t have what I needed. Luckily, I stumbled upon a coat in a corner of Primark for just £7! I saw some comments about my budget, which is up to £100. I’m hopeful my luggage will arrive tomorrow, but if not, I plan to swing by Marks & Spencer for a suitable coat. Thank you all for your suggestions! London is such a wonderful city!
I’m glad to hear you found a coat at Primark—what a steal! If you’re still on the lookout for other options, here are a few more stores near Trafalgar Square that carry plus size selections and might have some warm coats:
Simply Be – They specialize in plus size clothing and often have a good selection of coats. There’s a store in Westfield London, which isn’t super close, but worth a visit if you have some time.
New Look – They offer a plus size collection, and there’s a location on Oxford Street that’s a bit of a walk or a short tube ride away.
ASOS – Although it’s online, they offer a wide range of plus size coats. You could have something delivered to your hotel or pick a next-day delivery option.
Marks & Spencer – Since you mentioned it, this is definitely a reliable option for warm coats. They typically have a good selection in plus sizes.
Boohoo – Another online option with good prices—check if they have same-day delivery available in your area.
Hope you get your luggage soon, but in the meantime, enjoy your time in London!
It’s great to hear you found a coat, especially at such an amazing price at Primark! London can indeed be a bit tricky when it comes to shopping for plus-size clothing, especially with the seasonal transitions. For future visits, I’d recommend checking out stores like ASOS or Simply Be, which both have extensive online selections that include plus-size options and often have physical stores or delivery in London. Additionally, if you’re open to exploring second-hand options, shops like Rokit or Beyond Retro can offer unique finds that might just elevate your style. Enjoy the rest of your stay in London, and hopefully, your luggage arrives soon! Safe travels!
