AUTUMN weather can be challenging to dress for, but M&S just restocked a fashion bestseller for beating the showers.
Shoppers have been raving about the stylish outerwear, comparing it to Burberry’s £1,300 designer parka jacket.
M&S’ Stormwear Car Coat, £65
M&S’ Stormwear Car Coat has a water-resistant design for protection against the elements, along with practical internal and external pockets.
It features a structured collar and relaxed raglan sleeves that give an effortlessly put-together feel, finished with tortoiseshell buttons.
It bares a resemblance to the iconic Burberry Parka Jacket, but for a fraction of the price.
The £59 high-street buy comes in navy and cream colours, but stock is selling seriously fast.
Launching on the Marks & Spencer website earlier this year, the coat has been constantly selling out.
The navy version is finally fully stocked, while the cream colourway is available in select sizes.
Finding a raincoat that actually looks stylish can sometimes feel impossible, but M&S has nailed it with its lightweight but practical staple.

The fashion find could be thrown on with everything from jeans and heeled boots to leggings and trainers for dog walks.
It has a sophisticated design that could also be worn for formal occasions, including wide-leg trousers and loafers for days in the office.
Lighter jackets are perfect for this time of year, as they offer an extra layer that’s still lightweight enough to feel comfortable in.
M&S has been dropping plenty of viral hit after hit lately, including its Checked Collared Short Jacket, which is currently marked as the top bestseller.
Several TikTok users have been showing off the stylish number, and the stock appears to be flying off the shelves.
As for the popular Stormwear Car Coat, over 1,000 shoppers have given it a five-star rating.
One reviewer wrote: “Smart, stylish raincoat that’s lightweight and easy to wear.
M&S Checked Collared Jacket, £60
It’s loose enough to go over a jumper, or you could size down for a fitted look.
I love the pockets, buttons and back slit, and it’s great value.”
Another added: “Such a great price for this coat, it’s very smart and the material is of good quality.
I have gone down a size based on what people have stated in previous reviews and it’s true, you need to size down for a perfect fit.
I wear it to work and it’s perfect for this weather.”
While I’m yet to try the high-street raincoat for myself, I did put M&S’ viral trench coat to the test — and I can confirm its also a winner for autumn (if you can fight to get your hands on the remaining stock).
