‘A timeless quality item’
As temperatures begin to rise slightly and spring sets in, car coats make a great transitional piece. Both practical and stylish, they go well with all kinds of outfits.
Marks and Spencer offers a few models, including the £70 Pure Cotton Car Coat which seems to be a particular hit with fans. Available in petite and regular, it comes in mole and light caramel – although some sizes are currently out of stock.
The garment is made in a regular fit with a collared neckline and button-through front. It’s finished with two handy side pockets and adjustable straps on the cuffs.

One happy shopper wrote: “This coat is very smart and stylish. It’s the perfect coat for spring or autumn.”
Another added: “Great material, it hangs nicely. It’s a good quality basic for your wardrobe.”

A third commented: “A timeless quality item. This coat is perfectly cut and has a great feel, and the colour is brilliant.”
There has been minimal criticism of the product, but some customers weren’t as thrilled: “It was bulky and the material was too stiff. The neckline wasn’t good either.”
