Marks &Spencer has a trendy selection of outer wear to keep you well wrapped up for the winter. From fun faux fur teddy coats to loose parka jackets to checked ‘shackets’ not to mention quality stylish knitwear, you will be warm and cosy – and stylish – whether you’re inside or outdoors!

This jersey midi dress by Jaeger is a wardrobe all-rounder. Cut to a fitted shape, this flattering style has a matching tie waist which can be fastened in multiple ways to create your perfect finish. Retailing at €160, it is available in sizes 14, 16 and 20 only. A round neck and long sleeves complete this piece, along with a concealed zip fastening to the back. Just add heels and a statement necklace to take this versatile dress from day to night.

I love this ‘shacket’, a casual cross between a shirt and a long jacket. From the Per Una range, it’s available in sizes 10, 20 and 22 – a great staple piece for your winter wardrobe.
Checks are so in this year, and the design here is cut to an on-trend longline fit with a classic button-through fastening and collared neck. Patch pockets on the chest close with a button and flap, while practical side seam pockets finish the piece.
This is a great funky outer piece especially for taller, larger figures. Cost €109.

Also from Per Una, this cotton rich hooded longline Parka in hunter green is deffo your most versatile winter protection. Priced at €109, wear it out walking, hill climbing, farming or with jeans and a trendy woolly top.
Made from breathable cotton-rich fabric, this parka makes for a lightweight layer on tricky trans-seasonal days. It’s designed in a regular fit, with a snug drawstring hood and dropped sleeves for a relaxed look. A ‘placket’ covers the zip and button front fastening for a neat look and the pockets are perfectly placed for tucking your hands into.
All M&S cotton for their fashion is responsibly sourced “- always will be!” said the popular retailer.

M&S knitwear is pure quality. Check out their wool rich cable knit crew neck jumper from Autograph. It’s available in sizes 6 up to 24, and costs €95.
But this is an investment piece and the knitwear from M&S this year comes in a great selection of eye-catching colours!


Priced at €82, chilly days are no match for this teddy jacket. It has a regular fit for a contemporary shape. An all-over borg texture locks in heat, along with a cosy collar and two patch pockets.
The jacket is fastened with faux horn buttons and is fully lined for a smooth feel. From M&S Collection, this is another easy-to-wear wardrobe staple that combine classic and contemporary styles (sizes 6 up to 24).
