I was in my local Marks & Spencer store the other day and overheard a woman say to the sales assistant “I just love autumn at M&S”. And you know what? I completely agree with her. The colder months is when the high street brand comes into its own; if anyone knows British style, it’s the people at M&S who have been outfitting us for decades, and leaning into the cooler climes is its speciality. The proof? It’s in the proverbial pudding where the main ingredients are coats, boots, and jumpers.

Whenever I find myself lacking in cosy knits or a realise I could do with investing in a particular boot style, Marks & Spencer is the first place I turn. With consistent sizing (something that’s becoming infuriatingly unreliable on the high street) and a level of quality that, more often than not, surpasses its price-tags, I’ll always advocate for an M&S purchase. And right now, M&S’s coat, boot and jumper offerings are so impressive, it only seems right to share them with you and to give the brand its dues.
