Winter is here, and if you’re in need of a new coat that’ll keep you warm, and dry as the temperature continues to drop, look no further than M&S!

Shoppers have likened the £89 ‘rainproof’ waxed jacket to a similar version from Barbour which sells for more than double the price at £289 - and it even features a similar fluffy hood to protect your hair from the rain.

The stylish parka screams ‘countryside chic’ without the hefty price tag, thanks to its premium waxed look and faux fur detailing on the hood. Like the pricier Barbour version, it boasts popper fastenings and an internal drawstring to keep the coat securely fastened, saving your clothes from getting drenched.

For practicality, there are multiple pockets inside and out to hold all your essentials, and keep your hands warm while the hood is detachable which is great for creating two different looks, depending on the weather.

The £89 coat is available in sizes UK 6 to 24, and comes in two colours; Drak Green and Black.

Plenty of M&S shoppers have left five-star reviews, praising the winter warmer for its ‘great quality’ and ‘perfect length.’

One delighted customer said: “Really pleased with this coat, it’s just what I had been looking for. Fashionable, waterproof and warm.”

A second added: “I have just started wearing my new parka coat now the cold weather has finally arrived and I love it. It's really cosy and warm and I love the deep pockets and interior zipped pocket which is handy for keys or a debit card.”

While a third wrote: “Lovely coat nice and warm. Glad the furry can be removed from the hood as it was much nicer without it.”

The versatile parka even features Marks & Spencer’s water-repellent Stormwear technology for protection against light showers - so it’s perfect for keeping you dry on your dog walks!

Some shoppers suggest sizing up, especially if you’re looking to layer the coat with a thick jumper underneath. You can pick it up here in a range of sizes for £89.

Another 'cosy' coat we're loving right now is this £79 cotton-rich parka, also from M&S. It's designed in a regular fit, boasts a funnel neckline, elasticated cuffs, fleece-lined pockets and a detachable faux-fur trim at the hood.

If you're looking to spend slightly less, we've spotted this gorgeous alternative from New Look that's on sale for £55.99 down from £69.99.
