This classic autumn coat looks way more expensive than it is: ‘Definitely a wardrobe staple’
It's not often you find a coat that can worn be all year round, looks expensive and delivers on style. So when we spotted this Marks & Spencer coat for just £65, we knew it was a winner.
This affordable M&S must-have has the advantage of featuring a high-tech and water-repellant fabric, making it not only chic, but functional. It really is the perfect throw-over-anything coat that'll elevate whatever you're wearing due to its stylish, timeless appeal.
With over 400 five-star reviews already, it's clearly a worthy wardrobe addition for many happy M&S customers this autumn.
Why we rate it
The Cotton Rich Stormwear Car Coat is a true classic, making it a keeper that'll look on point for decades to come.
It's all to do with its flattering, straight cut silhouette that looks great done up or undone.
The large, tortoiseshell buttons add some interest to the simple design without taking away from the classic appeal.
The raglan sleeves (which you can also roll up) give it a relaxed feel, while the side pockets are big enough to pop a few things in. There's a handy internal pocket, too.
And the pièce de résistance? M&S has utilised its Stormwear fabric technology to ensure the garment is water repellant. Which lets face it, is always a bonus as you never know when you're going to get caught in a downpour.
You don't need to fork out for dry cleaning, either - simply wash in a delicate cycle at 40C.
This chic car coat is also available in two colours navy and beige, h both colours coming in sizes six to 24.
What the reviews say
While there's advice to go down one or two sizes due to the generous cut, the Cotton Rich Stormwear Car Coat is a big hit because it's not only perfect for the UK's unpredictable weather.
But, it's also a great quality, classic wardrobe staple that looks good with all sorts of outfits. No wonder one shopper found it to be a huge compliment-attractor...
