Spring has arrived, which means transitional dressing is well under way. If there's one crucial transitional wardrobe staple that never fails to make a resurgence during the in-between season, it's the ever humble trench coat.
If, by some miracle, you don't already own a trench coat, or simply need an upgrade, you'll be pleased to know that you have options. While the high street stocks trench coats aplenty, there is one trench in particular currently doing the rounds over on Instagram, making its statement as the affordable transitional trench of the season - and that's the M&S Stormwear Trench Coat, £85.
M&S' Stormwear Trench Coat proves itself amongst the fashion pack year after year, and we can completely see why. It's an elegant take on the traditional trench, made with a water repellent cotton material and button up detail, and contrast leather collar.
Grazia's Deputy Commerce Editor, Marina Avraam tried on the popular M&S coat, saying: 'After visiting three M&S shops to find the trench, I can safely say It's everything I'm looking for in a trench coat, and more. It looks and feels so much more expensive than it is actually is, and I can already tell it will be the hardest-working item in my wardrobe this year.'

M&S' Cotton Rich Car Coat is the perfect transitional wardrobe staple that you should consider adding to your coat collection. Made with 100% cotton water repellent material, this coat comes in two colours and pairs well with plenty of existing capsule wardrobe pieces.
'My only recommendation would be to size down - I usually shop size 10 in coats, but had to size down to an 8 as it was slightly too oversized. Overall, I know I'll get so much wear out of it this season.'
With thousands of glowing reviews (1,066 and counting), it's no surprise the M&S trench has fast become a best-seller, gaining traction amongst the fashion crowd practically overnight. It's already sold out in a handful of sizes, so we suggest you snap this transitional wardrobe staple up fast - before it completely sells out.
