Quite apart from the obvious gag about oversized boyfriends, there are a number of things wrong with this coat. Of course there are, missy, otherwise it wouldn't be making an appearance in the Hall of Shame, now, would it?
Anyway, the neoprene thing: wetsuits work by trapping a layer of water 'twixt skin and suit, which warms up and thus allows you to swim underwater without turning blue. Furthermore, neoprene absorbs water and becomes enormously heavy. In a downpour you will be rather discommoded by this coat, a fact cheerfully disregarded by the designer at Topshop, who doesn't mind in the slightest that you'll look like The Thing From The Deep getting on the number 14 bus, trailing seaweed and noisome marine detritus. Still , it should shut up the singing bus chav for a bit.
