Ireland's weather has taken a noticeable turn this week, with temperatures plummeting in recent days as we leave summer behind.

With autumn delivering rainfall and cooler temperatures, it's essential to bundle up warmly when venturing outdoors. Shoppers still looking to buy a high-quality coat to protect them against the elements might want to pay a visit to high-street favourite Next, where the retailer's Threadbare Black Longline Hooded Padded Coat has been hailed as "absolutely perfect" for those colder days.

Priced at €63, this floor-length coat boasts puffer quilting, a duvet hem and complete interior lining to deliver maximum warmth during any crisp outdoor pursuits when temperatures plummet. For additional defence against the cold, there's a three-piece padded hood and chin guard, essentially creating a windproof wardrobe essential. Meanwhile, elasticated storm cuffs on the sleeves offer further protection against any unwelcome chills.

The Threadbare Longline Hooded Padded Coat is topped off with a hidden two-way zip-fastening, plus two side seam pockets perfect for keeping hands toasty, whilst also storing smaller belongings such as keys and a mobile. Offered in a stylish black shade that complements almost every garment, the Threadbare Coat is rapidly selling out on the Next website, with remaining sizes spanning from an eight to 14, so we'd recommend buying one quickly.

For those whose size has already sold-out, then a potential substitute that will equally keep them snug and warm is New Look's Tiered Longline Puffer Jacket that comes in a fashionable burgundy shade for £69.99 (€80). Meanwhile, with the Threadbare Longline Hooded Padded Coat flying off the shelves amongst Next customers, it's hardly surprising it has secured a four star rating from delighted shoppers who've praised it as "so cosy" and "very waterproof", making it ideal for these brisk autumn mornings.

One thrilled buyer commented: "So cosy! I bought it for football Sundays now it's getting colder and it's absolutely perfect! It started raining the last time I wore it and it was still dry on the outside and kept me dry too! Would highly recommend!".

A second happy customer penned: "I love this coat, so warm and very waterproof, would definitely recommend." One shopper said: "I bought the coat after my daughter bought one and I tried it on and envied her! It is very useful with the double zip at the front allowing different options of 'snuggled' and in general is extremely practical while still stylish."

Another glowing review stated: "This was a great purchase! It is a warm coat for a reasonable price. Exactly as described and true to size. Well worth the money."

However, one shopper posted a three-star review, noting: "Coat was priced well, it is a good fit and warm. However, the zip sticks and at the back there is a section where the inner filling has bunched, so it looks and feels like there is a bump in my back.

"I have tried smoothing it out but it is a big lump of the inside filling of foam or whatever. Shame, because apart from that I like it."

On the other hand, a more favourable review stated: "Super value of money, looks amazing and is so warm and snuggly."
