When we discovered Giovanna Fletcher's new Regatta collection, to say we were excited was a grave understatement. This collection, like her previous three, is a must-have for modern mums. It seamlessly marries fashion with functionality in a way that the high street usually fails.
The collection is made up of seven stylish coats, and of course, Giovanna has thought of everything. Outgrown your beloved maternity coat? Then the Nerenda long jacket is comfy, practical, and knee length. Need a light jacket for lunch with friends? Then, opt for the vibrant pink Bayletta jacket. Heading for a family walk? Then we can't get enough of the Courcelle Quilted Jacket that encompasses countryside chic at its best.

We absolutely love this long waterproof jacket — a true gem for any busy mummy. Its taped seams ensure complete waterproof protection, ideal for Britain's unpredictable weather. Plus, unlike typical waterproof jackets, this one is made from breathable material, so you stay cool and comfortable while chasing after your little ones. Our writer, Hannah Carroll, loved this jacket because of the knee-length design but did wish there was a slit as sometimes movement can be a little restricted; she said: "this is warm enough for spring yet incredibly lightweight."

This hot pink jacket is simply gorgeous. We love bright jackets for busy days out because they make it so much easier for your family to spot you. But if pink isn't really your style, don't worry — it's available in 15 other colours, including khaki green, leopard prints, and bright yellow. Our Mother&Baby writer Hannah, who is a huge fan of pink, loved how this coat makes a bold statement and can elevate any outfit. Though the hood is a bit short, it's perfect for the unpredictable British weather. While it may not be ideal for the colder months, it's a fantastic choice for the warmer seasons.

If understated jackets are more your style, then this Courcelle quilted jacket might be the option for you. This quilted jacket offers extra protection for those windy park trips. We love the detailed curved hems, which elongate the legs and offer a flattering fit.

You might have noticed dry robes during your last beach visit. Praised by beach-goers, these robes feature quick-drying fabric and an oversized design. They're perfect for quick wardrobe changes at the seaside and make a great choice for throwing on rainy days. Like the rest of the collection, this one has a brilliant bright design that we can't get enough of.

Parkas have long been a staple for mums for years. They're a versatile addition to any mum's wardrobe. From the oversized pockets, to the extra padding for warmth, this parka is a fantastic everyday jacket and we love that it comes in both a khaki green and navy blue colour option. Our Mother&Baby writer Hannah loved this coat's deep pockets, making it the perfect choice for days out with her three children; she said: "Even when packed full of snacks and dummies, this coat is still lightweight and comfortable." However, she noted that the sizing is generous, which is great for layering but worth noting if you are between sizes.

While we're hoping for a hot summer, we must be realistic — this spring hasn't brought the expected temperature increase that we longed to see. Therefore, it's wise to have a coat in your wardrobe that is lightweight yet effective at keeping the rain out, perfect for when the weather does warm up. We particularly like how the coat's external design contrasts with its darker lining.
