We said it once and we’ll say it again. M&S is back bigger, better and stronger than ever after that cyber attack.
From the summer dresses, pretty pink frocks, to its sell-out Penny Loafers, and its impressive array of fashion staples, Marks and Spencer has fast become our go-to shopping destination for, quite frankly, everything.
Currently, M&S’ selection of coats has piqued our interest, from the viral Waxed Look Checked Utility Jacket that has sold out, to the new Cracked Pu Sb Blazer Coat, there are more coats in our virtual basket than there are days in the week, but we’re not mad about it.
The Cracked Pu SB Blazer Coat is one staple we predict will be the most versatile staple in your wardrobe you will no doubt get your cost per wear out of.

Cracked Single Breasted Blazer Coat M&S Cracked Pu Sb Blazer Coat
This blazer has been made from a polyurethane and polyester blend, which gives a cracked leather finish, and it features a polyester lining. It boasts a straight relaxed fit, collared neckline, button front fastening and patch pockets. Available in sizes 6 to 24.
Buy Now for £70If, like us, you live in a blazer, then M&S’ Blazer Coat will be your fashion essential.
It boasts a relaxed straight fit, it falls just below the hips to offer enough coverage, though you can size up for a looser fit.
The Blazer features the classic blazer features, including a collared neckline, long sleeves and button front fastening.
This is the oversized layer we need this autumn. (Picture: Metro/Marks & Spencer)But what stands this creation out in a sea of blazers is the cracked PU effect; it’s not a shiny patent blazer, squeaky leather design, or louche cotton variation. Safe to say it’s a niche design that is lacking in our closet, and we need it.
The blazer has been crafted from a polyurethane and polyester blend, which gives the illusion of a cracked leather finish that looks vintage, and it has a polyester lining.
The Blazer Coat is ultra versatile. It can be worn on its own, perhaps over a bralette or lace cami top and jeans, or a sheer skirt for date night. But it can also be styled for everyday wear over a T-shirt, shirt, roll neck jumper or a shirt.
This piece will be your most worn – and versatile. (Picture: Metro/Marks & Spencer)It is available in UK dress sizes 6 to 24, though we recommend sizing up at least one size if you plan to layer clothes underneath, or want more room to move as this is not an elasticated jacket.
Let’s also not forget it’s £70, which we think is a reasonable sum for this premium-looking design. Wear it once a month from September, through the winter and into spring, and you’ve got your cost per wear out of it, though we know you’ll be hard pushed to limit it to a single monthly wear, it’s that good.
But this is not the only outerwear staple we have had our eyes on.

Faux Leather Textured Longline Bomber Jacket
We think M&S’ Longline Bomber Jacket is more of a hybrid between a leather biker jacket and a bomber jacket. It features a relaxed fit, but when zipped up it creates that curved silhouette like the classic bomber jacket. It also boasts dropped shoulders, a funnel neck you can wear down or fasten up, as well as epaulettes on the shoulder. The sage green is a welcome alternative to the khaki green bomber and a traditional black biker jacket.
