Burberry

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.

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).

Earlier this month, The Sun exclusively reported how the broadcaster had fallen in love with Alex Lavery.

Countryfile anchor Anita, 47, has now been seen with her new man as the pair attended a London Fashion Week show.

The couple looked smitten as they held hands and wandered through the streets of the capital city.

Anita wore a copper-coloured jumpsuit, which appeared to be loosely fitted and boasted of a plunging neckline.

She completed the look with a classic Burberry trench, some green pointed boots that had a stiletto heel, and a tan-coloured shoulder bag.

Anita wore her brunette bob in a sleek style which was straight and glossy.

Meanwhile, her hunky man could be seen in a pair of dark grey jeans, with a black top, a grey jacket and a pair of brown boots.

The smitten pair walked hand in hand as they smiled at one another, with them even bursting out in laughter in one snap.

Earlier this month, the couple were spotted running errands at homeware store B&Q.

As the pair were papped at the start of September, Alex was seen with a tote bag slung over his shoulder and carrying some soil.

At the time, Anita walked closely alongside her man as they made their way to his car.

The pair were also all smiles in a selfie posted from the Green Man festival in August, with Anita and Alex seen posing with her pals.

Anita, who tagged Alex’s work account and also follows his personal page on Instagram, is clearly embracing her next life chapter.

Her man is in charge of an immersive sonic experience company called Frqncy Ldn.

The company “explores the effects of sound and mind on the body.”

He recently focused on the gong instrument, composing and writing the score for the instrument on new release, The White Edition.

Anita proved the supportive partner as she wrote underneath: “It’s a stunner.”

Meanwhile, Alex’s brand has also performed sound meditations as part of Glastonbury Festival’s wellness programme.

Previously, Anita and Alex were seen watching Lankum and Mogwai at South Facing Festival in Crystal Palace park.

At the time, a source told The Sun: “Anita and this bloke were clearly very close and more than just friends – she was wrapped around him in the VIP area then they walked off into the crowd together looking really happy.”
