M&S Autumn Staples Take Over: Shoppers Obsessed with Chic Bargains and Viral Jacket

Marks and Spencer's latest autumn collection has officially landed, causing a stir among fashion enthusiasts who are now racing to the high street giant for what they describe as "elevated autumn staples." The new drop has spawned multiple viral sensations on TikTok, with several key pieces garnering significant attention for their style, quality, and often, their unexpected affordability.

One of the most talked-about items is the "perfect" Wide Leg Cotton Rich Joggers, priced at an astonishing £10. These joggers are being snapped up by adult shoppers, particularly those who are petite, from the kids' section. Available in sizes up to age 16 and in five autumn-perfect colours—chocolate brown, black, grey, cream, and pale pink—M&S promises a "slouchy look." Adult wearers praise their ideal length for shorter legs, with one shopper, a slim 5’2” woman, noting they fit perfectly when opting for an age 13-14 size. The joggers feature a wide leg shape, a drawcord fastening at the elasticated waistline, and pockets. A matching Cotton Rich Hoodie is also available for £9, completing a comfortable yet stylish ensemble that has proven popular for travel and lounging, with shoppers appreciating the quality and the added benefit of no VAT due to being kidswear.

Another coveted item that has repeatedly sold out is the Suedette Lightweight Jacket, available for £59. This faux suede jacket is hailed as the "dreamiest coat for autumn" and a versatile transitional piece, perfect for moving from late summer into the cooler autumn months. Crafted from a lightweight faux suede, it offers a soft and luxurious feel in an easy regular fit with a neat collar and button fastenings. Shoppers can choose between a classic tan shade and a dark chocolate colour, with sizes ranging from extra small to extra large. The 70s-inspired jacket has received an impressive 4.9 out of five rating from M&S shoppers, who commend its versatility and flattering fit, with many actively stalking the website for restocks.

The autumn drop also features the Soft Touch Striped Knitted Rugby Top and Side Stripe Wide Leg Trousers, highlighted by TikTok creator @ooliviamiller. The rugby top, priced at £36, is a knitted polo-style top with a relaxed fit, a contrast collar, and bold stripes, offering a preppy and polished feel. It's currently the second bestseller in knitwear, known for its soft, cozy feel, making it ideal for layering. The accompanying Side Stripe Wide Leg Trousers, retailing for £35, boast a relaxed, pull-on style with a high waist and a bold side stripe, blending athleisure with effortless chic. These trousers can be dressed up with a blazer and loafers for a smart-casual office look or worn more casually with trainers and a simple tee.

Finally, a stylish jacket dubbed "the jacket of autumn/winter" has also gone viral. Priced at £90, this jacket (product code T49/7055) features a collar and cuffs detailed with beautiful corduroy, giving it a classic and expensive feel. Its oversized cut is a big hit, though shoppers advise sizing down due to its generous fit. Reviewers on TikTok, like 'vanessaroseblair', have praised its superior in-person appearance and unmatched quality. For those looking for a more budget-friendly option, H&M offers a near-identical Corduroy Collar Twill Jacket for just £34, though it's a slightly shorter style and lacks the gold button detailing of the M&S original.
