There comes a point in autumn, usually around the end of September, when you have to face the music. Because hanging onto your denim jacket, in denial about the change of seasons, isn't going to cut the mustard on these increasingly cold mornings. What you need is a jacket that's almost like a coat in warmth-factor but still doesn't feel too wintery. Luckily, high street jackets have never looked better. Seriously.
In fact, some of these jackets are so good that they're in danger of selling out before we reach the end of the month (if they haven't already). M&S' faux-shearling aviator jacket - the one that's been endorsed by none other than new brand ambassador, Sienna Miller - has sold more than 100 times in the past 48 hours. Mango's faux-fur coat, available in ecru or khaki, is also selling fast, with L, XL and XXL (in ecru) still in stock. H&M's wool-blend jacket looks so designer, meanwhile, that you'll have to wait for the restock. It's that good.

Mango's faux-fur coat comes in two shades - ecru and khaki - and both have sold out of several sizes. It's not hard to see why, frankly. With its chic toggle closures and hip-skimming length, it's one of the best high street jackets we've found.
