With spring just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about swapping your bulky winter coat for a chic, lightweight option once temperatures rise. And what better style to add to your spring capsule wardrobe than a chic trench coat?
The best trench coats are truly a timeless style that you'll wear again and again - last month saw Burberry's AW26 collection of stylish trench coats hit the catwalks of London Fashion Week but you don't need to splurge on designers to achieve a chic look as our favourite high street brand has come up trumps once again with its latest take on this classic piece.
Today, M&S launches what we're dubbing the ultimate trench coat. Having delved into its extensive design archives, the team have created a heritage-inspired style with cool premium detailing that belies the wallet-friendly price tag. One of the best M&S coats for the months ahead, it retails at under £100; this is about to become the hero in your spring wardrobe.
Made in a crisp, lightweight cotton, this stylish, tailored trench coat is ideal for spring days. Throw it over your favourite blazer as an extra layer or pair it with your favourite midi dress and ankle boots for an instantly pulled-together look. It's also available in black, and there's even a menswear version too.
Marks & Spencer is one of the best British clothing brands for a reason - its functional yet fashionable collections are a one-stop shop for those looking to source everything from smart casual outfit ideas to sharply tailored women's trouser suits.
For under £100, M&S have managed to create a trench coat that looks and feels far more expensive than its price tag, thanks to thoughtful detailing inspired by classic designs from the brand's archives. Unlike many trench coats that can feel flimsy, this trench coat is lined fully in a check from M&S' archives for a heritage feel, while the buckles at the wrists and waist are covered in smooth leather for an expensive-looking finish.
Available in both a classic tan and smart black, we predict this style that will sell out quickly, so make sure to snap it up while you can.

A versatile piece, the timeless beige tone will act as a neutral, meaning it works with everything from monochrome outfits to brights.
