If you're on the hunt for a classic outerwear staple, you may want to consider a checked trench coat. Check, in all its iterations, remains popular season after season, with plenty of fashion people and A-listers adding houndstooth, plaid and micro check to their autumn/winter wardrobes.
Burberry endorsed bold and bright tartan coats in its Resort 2024 collection, and elsewhere, Chloé opted for classic heritage patterns on longline check coats. On the high street, we've seen a plethora of check outerwear staples, from brands like Nobody's Child (the best selling, checkered cuff Double Breasted Trench Coat deserves an honourable mention here), as well as Arket and COS.
There is, however, one check coat that the fashion set have gravitated heavily towards, and that's the M&S Check Longline Trenchcoat, £75. Made from a wool blend, M&S' heritage inspired trench coat is a winter wardrobe favourite, featuring a belt at the waist, side pockets and a traditional front button fastening.
Its flattering longline shape and and all over check design looks great on practically everyone, and will work well with plenty of your existing wardrobe staples - think heavy duty knits (such as Whistles' Toteme inspired striped jumper) and chunky cardigans. For the ultimate AW outfit formula, finish off the look with a suede bag.
