M&S shoppers say 'stylish' trench coat 'looks more expensive than it is'

Bookmark

The trench coat is a timeless fashion piece that has remained popular over the years due to its practicality and style. Renowned designers like Burberry have long been associated with the trench, but if you're after a high-street alternative, M&S has introduced its own version, which has already received rave reviews.

The coat has been praised by shoppers for its classic fit, with many customers appreciating its ability to keep them dry in wet weather, thanks to its longer length providing additional coverage. Crafted from breathable cotton, it comes with a detachable belt, allowing wearers to cinch in the waist for a more tailored silhouette.

Styling this piece is straightforward. Team it with jeans and a simple white T-shirt or jumper for a casual look, or layer it over a fitted dress or blouse for a smart, professional outfit, according to Yorkshire Live.

It's also perfect for an evening ensemble - pair it with a midi dress and heeled boots for a sophisticated night out. And since some M&S shoppers have praised how well the coat shields them from the typical British weather, match it with knee-high boots and a stylish umbrella for the ultimate rainy-day look.

This jacket has already garnered 147 five-star reviews, boasting an impressive average rating of 4.8 out of five. One satisfied customer shared that they'd worn the coat "in all weathers" and praised its length for being practical yet not inconvenient, stating, "It's such a well-designed and well-made garment; I am delighted at the sensible price."

Another fan described the coat as "just right for this time of the year. I've had compliments on how nice it looks." A third chimed in, "This trench is stylish without being over the top. It is comfortable and looks more expensive than it is."

However, a few customers mentioned that the coat "was way too long for (them)." It might be worth double-checking the sizes if you're concerned about the length.

Despite this, it's a fantastic opportunity to snag a timeless fashion staple that can be cherished for years. This Belted Longline Trench Coat is available for £79 via M&S, and it also comes in beige for those wanting to channel their inner Audrey Hepburn à la Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Alternatively, La Redoute has slashed prices on several of its chic trench coats by 50%, bringing them down to £49.50 from £99. Nobody's Child's new £149 khaki version is also worth considering for those with a larger budget.
