Embracing Autumn: Crisp Air, Golden Leaves, and the Perfect Coat
There’s something magical about the shift from summer into autumn. The long, hazy evenings give way to brisk mornings where you can see your breath in the air, and the hedgerows glow with the deep reds and golds of changing leaves. I find myself reaching for scarves, boots, and—most importantly—a coat that’s not just practical, but comforting too.
As someone who spends much of her time outdoors—whether it’s dog walking in autumn, cheering on the children from the sidelines of a windswept football pitch, or simply strolling through the park—I know how vital it is to be properly wrapped up. The weather at this time of year can’t quite make up its mind: one minute it’s bright and clear, the next it’s blustery, damp, and bone-chilling.
That’s why my fleece-lined waterproof coat from Hector & George has become an absolute staple. Unlike some of the heavier outdoor robes you see around (Dryrobe and Equidry come to mind), this one feels wonderfully wearable day-to-day. It’s cosy, lined with soft fleece for warmth, yet still lightweight enough to throw on for a school run, a woodland walk, or even a chilly dip after wild swimming.
For anyone who loves the outdoors, a warm waterproof coat for women is more than just clothing—it’s the difference between cutting a walk short and embracing the weather. Autumn brings crisp air, damp mornings, and shorter days, but it also offers the chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and savour the small joys: the crunch of leaves underfoot, the smell of woodsmoke, the comfort of wrapping up in something snug.
If you’re looking for a coat that blends style, practicality, and all-weather protection, the [Hector & George outdoor coat](link to product page) really does it all. It’s designed for those of us who don’t just endure the elements, but actually enjoy them.
So as the temperatures dip and the evenings draw in, I say: lean into autumn. Wrap up, get outside, and savour the beauty of this season. Just don’t forget your Hector & George coat—it’s the layer you’ll be reaching for again and again.
