I went to Marks and Spencer and dug out the best 12 coats for autumn and winter

There’s nothing better than a stroll through the Trafford Centre, especially at this time of year when retailer’s are starting to drip feed their Christmas collections but it’s not so busy that you feel like a tin of sardine amongst the festive crowds. When browsing Marks and Spencer, I couldn’t help but notice the amazing selection of coats. When it comes to buying coats, Marks and Spencer isn’t usually my first port of call but perhaps it should be. The high street stalwart had virtually any coat a fashion fan would need, whether you’re after a trendy puffer or a Barbour-inspired heritage jacket without spending Barbour money. In fact, I was so blown away I decided to not gatekeep and take some pictures of my favourite coats for autumn and winter. Luckily, they’re all available online too, so you don’t have to make the trip to Trafford if you have your eye on any of them.

One of my favourites is the Pink Check Short Padded Coat with Detachable Sleeves , which looks a lot more expensive than its £65 price tag. Alternatively, New Look offers its Dark Burgundy Unlined Tailored Coat for £39.99. The elegant dark burgundy coat has a long length and tailored fit, making it ideal for formal occasions.
