This neckline is one feature commented on by a number of shoppers who love it for allowing them to comfortably wear a scarf. We also enjoy how it allows you to show off parts of your outfit underneath - for example, if you have a chunky turtle neck or Peter Pan collar, you can easily layer it so that it can be seen while out and about.

Paired with your favourite jeans and boots, or a dress and heels, it's a great jacket for on the go that effortlessly exudes both style and sophistication while keeping you warm. With a 4.9 star rating from shoppers, it's safe to say it's a hit, reports Wales Online.

Describing the jacket as 'beautifully cosy and stylish', one M&S shopper raved about the jacket saying: "I absolutely adore this jacket. The colour is gorgeous and will go well with just about anything. The fabric is soft and luxurious and looks a lot more than what I actually spent. It is so warm and snug. Cannot wait to wear."

"Lovely thick jacket which is a great shape and so very warm," added another, who continued: "Think it will come in very handy as can wear as a casual piece but equally over more formal pieces for a dressed up look. Love the fact there is no collar as I wear scarves all the time as the autumn/winter chills hit. Usually wear 10/12 so ordered the M that fits well and has a bit of room around the hips for winter woolies etc."

Speaking about the sizing, they shared: 'the S would have been perfect at the top but far too hugging with extra layers'.

Another fashion fan declared it the 'Perfect winter jacket' and exclaimed: "Love this jacket. It's so warm and stylish and looks really good."

A third commented on how much more expensive it looked that it's £69 price tag and said: "Absolutely beautiful jacket and looks so much more expensive than what it actually cost. Looking forward to wearing it on chilly days. Thanks M&S."

"Ordered this jacket after seeing it online and so glad l did, it's absolutely gorgeous," enthused another shopper, "The material, the texture and the colour are perfect for the season. Lovely and warm and stylish."

While its finish and style was admired by many, one disgruntled shopper was disappointed to find that the jacket 'doesn't suit me' stating: "Very bulky especially shoulders. M&S body shape now not reflecting me at all. I'm a size 10 5'3". So wanted this to suit me!"
