We weren’t planning on falling in love with another coat this year… but then the high street went and did this.

Yep, M&S has pulled off another show-stopping, affordable fashion moment with its new Textured Belted Longline Trench Coat – and we haven’t stopped thinking about it since it dropped.

The double-breasted, mid-length trench-style jacket in a rich dark chocolate croc-effect finish is easily one of the most luxe looking items on the high street for autumn/winter and we’re obsessed.

Fashion nerds will clock its remarkable resemblance to Stella McCartney’s Crocodile Embossed Trench, a near-identical designer version that will set you back a casual £5,000. 

So when we say that this £90 M&S coat is a steal, we really mean it. 

M&S Collection Textured Belted Longline Trench Coat

Make a statement in this double-breasted trench coat made from luxe croc-textured fabric. Cut in a flattering regular fit with a longline hem, it features a tie belt to cinch the waist and classic buttoned strap cuffs. This standout piece from the M&S Collection is your new go-to for polished autumn layering.

With oversized lapels on its collared neckline, buttoned strap cuffs and a waist-cinching tie belt, it makes any outfit look instantly more expensive. 

It’s the kind of standout coat that’s perfect for layering over cashmere knits and elevating an everyday outfit. 

Not sure how to style it? The on-trend chocolate brown hue makes it wearable with all your black, cream, camel and burgundy items. 

Dress it up with a black cocktail dress and knee-high boots or down with a pair of wide-leg jeans, a cream knit and trainers. 

Yep, we’re calling it now – this is the coat to buy for autumn/winter. 

Just don’t hesitate to add to basket because we’re predicting the fashion crowd to cotton-on to this absolutely bargain pretty sharpish. And we wouldn’t want you missing out now, would we?
