We think this wax jacket from M&S is going to sell out fast

Your 2025 wardrobe needs this M&S wax jacket Marks and Spencer

The turkey and trimmings are all finished, the sparkle and sequins are almost ready to go back into storage, and our thoughts are turning to our 2025 wardrobe, with cosy, weather-proof staples high on our wish list.

And it seems Marks & Spencer is one step ahead. Its post-Christmas, new-in drop is full of key 2025 pieces (we're talking fringing, plaid, slick suiting) and one in particular has already got fashion insiders excited.

This wax parka coat with corduroy collar and cuffs is the perfect transitional cover-up for rainy winter days. In fact, we think it looks quite Barbour-esque, but, thankfully, it doesn’t come with a heritage price tag. At just £79, it’s a steal and we don’t think it will be in stock for long. You have been warned.

If you need any more persuading, practical, weatherproof jackets are a key staple for 2025, from colourful windbreakers and shell suit jackets (yes, they’re back) to classic, countrycore parkas. And did we mention this M&S design has two generous double entry pockets as well as an internal pocket for essentials, such as a mid-walk Quality Street (perhaps we’ve been Christmassing too long..)

We’ll be styling ours à la Claudia on The Traitors with fingerless gloves, a chunky knit, jeans and biker boots for cosy winter walks, or with a polo neck, tailored trousers and brogues for a stylish work look. It would also go with your favourite midi dress and long boots (shout out to M&S' monochrome checked style below).

Trust us, this stylish wax jacket is the perfect rainy day buy.
