This Under-£70 Trench Coat Is the Smartest Purchase You Can Make for Autumn

We have a love-hate relationship with H&M on team WWW UK. We obviously love when we come across an affordable winning buy that looks like it could be designer sitting in the new-in section—and nowhere else on the high street does this so reliably. But we hate—okay, maybe hate is too strong a word, it's more frustration—when other people manage to bag those buys before us, leaving us to find them all sold out. It's a regular occurrence because, as we know, when H&M does something great, it's really great, and the word spreads fast. And while we are, of course, advocates for responsible, thought-out purchases, when you see something you love on H&M's site, it's a well-known fact that you need to add it to basket pretty quickly to make it yours. 

We see it as our job to get word of these hero H&M buys out to you as quickly as we can so you don't miss out either—and so today, we're here to talk trench coats. H&M has given us a reason to look forward to autumn during this rather long July with a fresh drop of the capsule wardrobe staple this week—some of which have already flown out of stock (shock). But the newest, and probably most classic style, is luckily still available, and it sits just under £70. Bargain.

The double-breasted trench coat is basically the perfect throw-on, everyday style, and we've searched long and hard over the years, so you can trust us on that. It comes in two staple colours: a classic light beige and a smart black (perfect for autumn and winter). It's 100% cotton, machine washable (!) and a regular fit, so we'd advise taking a size up if you're looking for a more oversized vibe. Whichever colour you opt for, if you've been looking for a trench, we're 99% sure this is the smartest buy you could bag for autumn (and beyond) given its timeless, versatile nature.
