Now that September is here, it's officially time to snap up your new coat for autumn/winter. While the weather is still (reasonably) warm, it may tempting to delay the inevitable, but it really does pay to invest in new season bits now, while the best stock is still available in stores.

And, once we spotted Marks & Spencer's new reversible Split Wool Overcoat, we knew it was definitely time to strike...

What to read next

This genius coat might just be the most versatile style we've ever seen. It's fully reversible so you quite literally get two cover-ups for the price of one. One side is a chic shade of blush pink, while the other is a deep autumnal red.

Ideal for wearing over both smart and casual outfits, this long-line piece is a future wardrobe classic that should keep you feeling warm while looking cool in the months ahead.

Unsurprisingly, the coat is already garnering a fair bit of attention online after the brand shared a snap of fashion influencer Erica Davies wearing it on Instagram.
