The coat is proving to be a huge hit with customers

It’s getting chillier by the day, and if you’re struggling to stay warm, it may be time to invest in a thick winter coat that’ll save you from the dreaded winter months.

Luckily, we can always rely on M&S for stylish and practical winter gear, and this ‘cosy’ coat is perfect for protecting you from the cold and rain thanks to its thick padded material and water-repellent design.

Priced at £99, the Hooded Longline Duvet Coat boasts Thermal Warmth™ technology to provide superior warmth and insulation whilst Stormwear™ innovation ensures the fabric, and your clothes underneath stays dry and protected from the rain.

It's perfect for trapping in heat, and keeping you dry thanks to the waterproof fabric

It features a snuggly snood-style hooded neck, a side-split vent which can be secured with poppers or worn open for movability, ribbed cuffs with thumbholes and fleece-lined secure pockets to keep your hands warm and essentials safe.

According to M&S, the coat is breathable and warm without being too heavy, and many shoppers have said it’s like ‘wearing a duvet.’

One delighted customer said: “Lovely warm and spacious long coat in a beautiful bottle green colour. Very well made, good quality and is shower resistant. The cuffs are great to seal in the heat and keep the cold out. It is very generously sized so would suggest you size down.”

A second added: “So cosy and light. Great length, with side poppers so I can sit comfortably and still be covered. The first coat I have had where the collar doesn't feel like its strangling me and doesn't let the cold in. Great colour too.”

While a third wrote: “Lovely and warm, super winter coat, great for walking the dog!!”

The duvet coat is available in three colours; black, green or cream, and ranges in sizes from a UK 6 to 24 - although some sizes have completely sold out due to it being so popular.

After sifting through the reviews, many customers suggest going down a size as the coat ‘comes up quite large,’ however, it’s worth noting the smaller you go, the harder it’ll be to layer.

If you're looking to spend slightly less, another coat on our winter wish list is this £69 Recycled Thermowarmth™ Puffer - also from M&S. It's boasts similar features to the pricier alternative above, however stops at the knees rather than being longline.

Another similar alternative we're loving is this Hooded Longline Puffer Coat from New Look, on sale now for £71.99.
