Marks & Spencer shoppers have been snapping up a cosy coat that has been hailed as a "fabulous" and "snuggly" addition to any winter wardrobe.

The Textured Single Breasted Tailored Coat has quickly become a bestseller at the high street retailer as December looms and the weather turns increasingly wintry. Priced at £69 and available in sizes six to 24, the coat comes in either timeless beige or classy dark green in a trendy textured finish to keep you cosy on days out in the cold.

The coat has earned an overall rating of 4.6 out of five stars from M&S shoppers so far, with the majority awarding it full marks for style, quality and value for money. "Super soft and warm, I've had lots of admiring comments already!" one person praised.

Another shopper described it as their "must-have winter coat", adding: "So very pleased to receive this coat. Looks fabulous, good quality and feels sumptuous. Lovely colour."

A third reviewer commented: "This is a lovely cosy coat. I got it in the gorgeous dark green and it's really stylish."

Other shoppers described the coat as "beautiful" and "snuggly", saying it "goes with everything." Not everyone was a fan, however, with one shopper saying they found it to be too oversized.

"I'm 5ft tall and this coat came below my knees and the sleeves covered my hands completely. Maybe it's time M&S sold petite coats," they suggested.

M&S shoppers who like the look can find a similar design with a bold pop of colour in the red Textured Single Breasted Coat, priced at £79, or spruce up their everyday winter look with the Checked Textured Single Breasted Coat also for £79, which will match any outfit with its classy cream and grey design.

Or for a more budget-friendly option elsewhere on the high street, New Look is offering a Teddy Long Coat for £40 reduced from £64.99 in its winter sale. Available in six colours including black, cream, tan or khaki, this coat has racked up an impressive rating of 4.7 out of five stars based on more than 200 reviews from shoppers.
