M&S is leading the way when it comes to premium quality and affordable high street fashion, which is what our bank balance and wardrobes need. 

From the designer-inspired handbags, to the comfortable underwear, and chic summer dresses, M&S has nailed every category. Now, M&S has launched the Cotton Rich Belted Longline Trench Coat, which we think will fly off the shelves because a trench coat never goes out of fashion. 

The M&S Cotton Rich Belted Longline Trench Coat comes in a neutral tone, as well as black colourway, and both retail for £79.

We love a trench coat, and live in the outerwear staple year in and year out, which is why we are pleased to see M&S launch a longline version of the hit style ahead of Spring. 

The Cotton Rich Belted Longline Trench Coat is exactly what it says on the tin.  It has been crafted from a cotton and elastane blend, but also features M&S’ signature Stormwear technology, which means this design is water repellent and will protect you from the elements. 

This design features the conventional characteristics we expect from a trench coat.  It boasts double front fastening, a collar and lapels, as well as epaulettes on the shoulder, belt detail around the waist, as well as a buttoned cuff. This design also features side pockets, which is always convenient when shopping for a jacket. 

The Trench Coat is longer in length, which is perfect for short and tall frames. The trench coat falls just below the knee and provides slightly more coverage than shorter lengths, yet doesn’t drag on the floor. 

M&S’ has paid extra attention to detail as this new creation is lined for extra protection, and it also helps to sit better on the body. 

The relaxed fit lends itself to a variety of styling options too.  You can wear fully buttoned up, with the belt cinched in at the waist, style unbuttoned with the belt tied around the stomach, or around the back and the jacket worn open.  

We all know the trench coat is one of the hardest working items in any closet, as you can wear it for daytime and nighttime wear, for the office, shopping, weekend brunches, to a wedding or other formal occasion. 

Shoppers are already obsessed with this outerwear staple, which has garnered over 200 reviews despite only just hitting the shelves.  

One shopper commented: ‘A classic trench that will never date. Stylish and elegant, will suit all ages.’

Another gushed: ‘I love the classic styling of this coat. It will be perfect for Spring to slip over dresses on cooler days.’

While a separate M&S customer added: ‘My daughter loves this trench good quality looks so classy and showerproof too.’

We predict this trench coat will sell out rapidly, so you will want to shop quickly to avoid missing out.
