The checked coat will quickly become the hardest working item in your wardrobe.

If you're on the hunt for a classic outerwear staple, you may want to consider a checked trench coat. Check, in all its iterations, remains popular season after season, with plenty of fashion people and A-listers adding houndstooth, plaid and micro check to their autumn/winter wardrobes.

There is, however, one check coat that the fashion set have gravitated heavily towards, and that's the M&S Check Longline Trenchcoat, £75. Made from a wool blend, M&S' heritage inspired trench coat is a winter wardrobe favourite, featuring a belt at the waist, side pockets and a traditional front button fastening.

Its flattering longline shape and and all over check design looks great on practically everyone, and will work well with plenty of your existing wardrobe staples - think heavy duty knits (such as Whistles' Toteme inspired striped jumper) and chunky cardigans. For the ultimate AW outfit formula, finish off the look with a suede bag.

M&S' checked trench coat is the perfect heritage inspired coat that'll look great with plenty of your existing wardrobe staples, such as cardigans and crew neck jumpers. Accessorise with either gold or silver jewellery, and finish off the look with a perfectly autumnal suede bag.
