M&S shoppers say this lightweight trench coat is perfect for spring
This coat will get you through spring showers.
It's not often you find a coat that can worn be all year round, looks expensive and delivers on style for decades to come. So, it's no surprise that this classic Marks & Spencer coat, which ticks all the boxes, is forever going out of stock.
It really is the perfect throw-over-anything coat that'll elevate whatever you're wearing due to its timeless appeal. Plus, it has the advantage of featuring a high-tech and water-repellant fabric, making it not only chic, but functional.
Available in beige and navy, this trench coat is a timeless style that you'll get plenty of wear out of.
With over 500 five-star reviews and having already sold out numerous times, it's clearly a worthy wardrobe addition. One shopper said it has been their "best buy this year", while numerous M&S shoppers love it so much they have bought "both colours".
Lots of customers say they particularly rate it for its minimalist and lightweight silhouette, making it the "perfect coat for spring."
Why we rate it
The Cotton Rich Stormwear Car Coat is a true classic silhouette, that'll look on-trend for decades to come.
The large, tortoiseshell buttons add an elevated and expensive-looking touch, while the simple silhouette looks equally as smart undone as it does buttoned up.
Additionally, the raglan sleeves (which you can also roll up) give it a relaxed feel, while the side pockets are big enough to pop a few things in. There's a handy internal pocket, too.
And the pièce de résistance? M&S has utilised its Stormwear fabric technology to ensure the garment is water repellant. Which lets face it, is always a bonus as you never know when you're going to get caught in a downpour.
It's available in two staple colours: navy and beige and in sizes six to 24. However, with spring fast approaching it has already sold out in a few sizes.
You don't need to fork out for dry cleaning, either - simply wash in a delicate cycle at 40C.
