Let’s face it; we’ll never just be happy with one coat this winter.

However, as the credit crunch continues to bite as icily as the winter weather it doesn’t seem we have a choice, does it?

Instead of wallowing we have been having a scout around and we have found a perfect alternative.

This red coat from QS, which is fast becoming a close second to our favourite bargain store Primark, is only £28. Yes that’s right, £28 and that’s not even its sale price.

With its double breasted waisted look, we can guarantee you’ll not only be warm but also be able to afford at least another two coats this winter, or just that one Gucci coat you’ve been dreaming about.
