One happy customer commented on the M&S website: “This coat is really lovely and warm with muted shades of grey and black. It was thicker than expected but that was a real plus. I will get plenty of wear of this over autumn/winter. It really looks fab with jeans and boots. Feels great on.”
Another said: “Fabulous quality. Extremely stylish. Very classy. Attracting lots of attention.” as The Mirror reported.
A third wrote: “Love this jacket, could dress it up or down suitable with skirt leggings or jeans. Feel it fits perfect addition to my wardrobe.”
But not everyone was totally happy, as one shopper noted: “Nice fabric. Sleeves too long and I didn’t like that it only fastened half way down not near the neck.”
You can buy the M&S Checked Double Breasted Short Coat for £79. If you’re saving money, New Look’s longline belted coat is just £30.
