M&S is nailing it this season according to fashion editor Lauren Goodwin-Grafton who popped into store this weekend. She spotted a must-have green coat for under £70
Autumn’s arrivals are seriously pulling at my purse strings and despite the sun making an appearance this week I am keen to stock up on some autumn essentials. One of the must-have items on my shopping list is a new coat. I’ve been looking for a neutral shade, burgundy or brown but I spotted a coat in the M&S store at the weekend that made me realise my wardrobe desperately needs a green coat this season.
If you’re on the hunt for a coat that can effortlessly transition from summer to autumn, then I think you’ll love this M&S Twill Single Breasted Relaxed Coat, £69 here as much as I do. Made from a twill, which is lighter than a heavy wool these lightweight coats are ideal to throw over jumpers and provide just the right amount of warmth during September and October. The warm piece also has two practical side pockets.
Plus, if you want to be ahead of the fashion pack, green is set to be the colour of autumn! Whether you opt for a vibrant forest green like this shade, an earthy khaki or even zesty lime I recommend you adopt at least one piece into your warm-weather wardrobe.

The M&S Twill Single Breasted Relaxed Coat, £69 here looked so stylish on the mannequin in store I couldn’t pass it by. It had been styled effortlessly with a crisp white shirt, £25 here and an oversized black tote bag, £49.50 here but I would also wear it at the weekend with jeans, trainers and a slouchy jumper.
The positive reviews are already coming in fast online with shoppers also recommending the design “Lovely coat, gorgeous colour for autumn, I can’t wait to wear it!!” Said one, whilst another writes ” Love this coat, perfect “car driving” length rather than full length.”
I went for a size 12 as I like an oversized fit, however one customer has advised that it “fits a bit large,” which is something to be aware of.
