WEATHER, BEATEN:
PADDED COATS TO KEEP YOU WARM AND DRY

Keep cosy during the winter months with our edit of seriously toasty outerwear for all the family, from long quilted duvet coats to Stormwear parkas and puffer jackets

Best for low temperatures: the long duvet coat

As close to an actual duvet as it gets, a full-length padded coat is the ultimate in winter outerwear, taking on the worst weather that the season can throw at you with ease. The perfect layer to pop over thermals to keep you snuggly on chilly walks, our longline duvet coats combine weather-beating technology with design details to help you stay warm and dry, such as funnel necks and hidden hoods. Our ultra-cosy Thermowarmth padded duvet coat is a classic cold-weather style you’ll wear for many chilly seasons to come, plus it’s made with at least 30% recycled polyester. For more outerwear inspiration, read our coat guide.

A quilted gilet is a polished but practical top layer that looks great worn with slim-fit jeans and casual boots. Our men’s feather and down gilets are ultra lightweight, making them ideal for layering over a fleece or slipping under a jacket. Available in an array of versatile colours and with a rain-repelling Stormwear finish, these great-value gilets are the ideal body warmers for changeable autumn weather. For an even smarter city-ready look, try Autograph’s cotton-blend gilet which comes in two lengths for an impeccable fit.

Best for rainy days: the Stormwear puffer jacket

The great British winter requires a coat that’ll protect you from the freezing temperatures and seemingly endless showers that are hallmarks of the season. Many of our longline duvet coats and padded jackets feature water-repellent Stormwear technology as well as Thermowarmth to keep them super warm yet lightweight, making them as practical as they are stylish. This khaki hooded puffer jacket features drizzle-beating Stormwear and a feather and down filling to keep you toasty on even the coldest days. Add this season’s most-wanted knitwear and a supersized scarf for a layered look.

Best for little ones: the Stormwear puffer jacket

Beat the chill this season with our kids’ padded gilets, coats and jackets. Look for designs made with recycled padding and Stormwear water-repellent technology that keeps children warm and dry on drizzly autumn days. Lightweight and cosy, these coats will keep them warm on the chilliest school runs. Nod to the season’s rich palette by choosing classic colours such as navy, brown and forest green, which go together easily. Don’t forget, M&S kids’ coats and jackets are designed to be handed down – that’s why they have labels with enough room to write multiple names.

Best for versatility: the padded parka

A layering hero that’ll keep your core warm without cramping your style, a parka is ideal when your outfit calls for heavy-duty weatherproofing. Marrying iconic style heritage (think Sixties-era mods) with practicality, the parka jacket is a hardwearing option that will earn its keep in your wardrobe. Choose a generously padded parka such as this navy puffer, which features a detachable faux fur hood, to take on the winter months. The fabric features clever water-repellent Stormwear technology to keep you dry, while the snug ribbed cuffs and a drawstring waist add shape.
