Let’s address the elephant in the closet. We’ve all had that cheap jacket that started flaking after one winter. It’s a trauma, right? Like a bad breakup, but with clothes.
New 'trending' Marks & Spencer £60 jacket comes in two colours as fans
M&S claims their faux leather is built to last. They use a “soft touch” finish that’s supposed to resist peeling. I’ve had mine for two seasons—no cracks, no flakes, no drama.
Does it breathe like a linen shirt? Of course not. It’s faux leather. You will get a little toasty if you wear it in a heatwave. But for autumn, spring, and mild winter days? Chef’s kiss.
The price tag talk (don’t flinch)
Now, let’s get real. It’s not a £30 throwaway. You’re looking at around £80–£120, depending on sales. But wait! Before you gasp, do the math.
That cheap jacket from the fast fashion site? You’ll buy two of those in a year, and they’ll both end up in a landfill. This one? You’ll wear it for years. It’s an investment in not looking like a disaster.
Plus, M&S is always running a 20%-off code or a “Spend & Save” promo. Never pay full price. That’s the first rule of adult shopping, right?
