Arguably THE street style staple at every Fashion Week, the trench coat has had a makeover this season, and it couldn't be chicer.

Tailoring is more masculine - think wide shoulders, balloon sleeves and loose fitting - as we steer away from the classic fitted look (though there will always be room for that, don't you worry).

There is one high street hero that we've spotted several times on the cobbles this LFW, and it comes courtesy of M&S (yep, of the famous checked trench, seriously killing it).

Extremely versatile, it can be worn with an oversized jumper, jeans and heels, a fitted top, maxi skirt and trainers, or shirt, PVC culottes and biker boots. Anything goes really, though for a masculine take, we like it teamed with loose silhouettes, a la Rejina Pyo.
