With winter’s arrival, finding a great coat to see me through the rest of the year and well into 2025 has been at the forefront of my mind. So much so that I spend most mornings scrolling through the sites searching for the one. It’s taken me more time than I’d like as being a more discerning shopper there’s a particular criteria I’m after. My search is focused on finding a coat that looks incredibly expensive, comes in a versatile shade and can be worn for both daily strolls to the coffee shop and elegant evenings out. Thanks to M&S, my hunt can officially be called off.

Finding expensive-looking pieces on the high street is a key part of my job, so much so that I bring these directly to you, our readers, every single week. Because of this, I know a great high street piece when I see one.
Making an affordable piece feel high-end is all in the details, and this Marks & Spencer coat is a prime example of that. The deep chocolate shade brings an undeniable elegance with a rich hue that’s just as versatile as our reliable black pieces. The double-breasted design brings a classic appeal that plays into the timeless feel of this coat. Forget bells and whistles, the refined design is sure to outlast moving trends and be a piece you’ll turn to for years to come. Whilst I personally love an oversized silhouette, the regular fit is a classic for a reason, and if you wanted a looser shape there’s always the chance the size up. Finally, winter is prime time to play with textures as smooth leathers and intricate knits come back to the fore to add depth to our looks, and the soft textured finish of this coat is the cherry on top of this highly elegant piece.
Like most expensive-looking high street finds, this is expected to move quickly, so if you’re as enamoured by Marks & Spencer’s coat as I am, scroll on to shop and explore more elegant brown coats.
