Marks & Spencer’s latest drop features a stylish cape jacket that rivals Chloé for a fraction of the price
Marks & Spencer has just dropped a new-season jacket that’s already caught our eye, and we can’t help but notice the resemblance to a certain designer style worth over £5k.
The high street retailer’s £75 Pure Cotton Waisted Collared Cape Coat launched on websites this week and delivers the same elevated, cape-detail silhouette we’ve seen on luxury runways, but for a fraction of the price.
Designed with a detachable cape collar, the coat blends classic trench-inspired structure with a cool-girl, modern parka feel. The jacket features a drawstring waist, allowing you to cinch it in for a more defined, flattering shape, while the zip and popper fastening make it practical for everyday wear.
The two oversized front pockets add functionality and that effortlessly cool, utility edge.

Made from pure cotton and fully lined, this transitional piece works just as well over tailoring as it does thrown over a pair of jeans and trainers. It’s the perfect balance between timeless and trend-led. It definitely falls into that popular ‘countrycore’ aesthetic that Claudia Winkleman has made so huge over recent months.
We think this M&S buy is similar to Chloé’s cotton gabardine parka coat, which retails for £5.3k and features a similar cape detailing., stud fastenings and parka silhouette. However, Marks & Spencer’s version is significantly more affordable at under £100.
The main difference is that the M&S version features a drawstring waist, whereas Chloé’s design has a looser, more relaxed fit.
Cape trench coats are having a moment right now, so some alternative versions you can shop include Nobody Child’s Camel Cape Trench Coat is currently on sale for £135.20 down from £169. This is ideal for those after a longer option.
For those looking for darker styles to shop, Barbour’s fia showerproof jacket in sage is available to shop on ASOS for £269. With its deep green hue, this is ideal for colder months.
