Every fashionista knows that a trench coat or Mac is a wardrobe staple & I’m no exception. But would you believe I have never owned one?… no not ever. Yep true story.
I’ve tried on dozens of the high street versions over the years however none have remotely tempted me. Of course there’s always Burberry & like many I dreamed of buying one of their iconic designs but the exorbitant price is just way too extreme to justify. Don’t get me wrong I do believe the Trench is a worthy investment but £1200? Hmm perhaps not so much…
Then I spotted this Marks and Spencer Trench & I was smitten! The quality of this coat is absolutely incredible so I really hope you can appreciate it from my pictures. I tried hard to show the beautiful stitching & capture tight shots of the metallic details. To say I’m impressed is the ultimate understatement. This particular Trench that Marks and Spencer do is top of the range however all of their Trench coats are manufactured from a special cotton blend material trade marked Stormwear that is water repellent & super durable. Therefore you’re getting the same wonderful fabric at every price point including the lowest one of £39.50! Now I’m not here to push you to shop at M&S but I am here to tell you, if you’re in the market for a Mac these are worth seriously considering. I promise you I will never be anything but honest in my opinion – infact brutally at times. So when I gush over something it’s genuine enthusiasm & that’s the truth. I bloody love this coat! It’s a perfect fit at size 10, usually I’m a 12 in coats for monkey arm length if nothing else so I’d say it comes up slightly large but then again M&S often do, so keep that in mind. Now take a look through & we’ll chat some more about the rest of the outfit further down…
