If you’ve read any of my articles for Who What Wear before (I’ve certainly written a lot of them over the last six years), you’ll know by now that my favourite fashion finds are the ones that look incredibly expensive, with price tags that say otherwise. Right now, M&S just cannot be beaten when it comes to securing such pieces. In fact, the new season fashion at the UK’s favourite high-street haunt is so good that I’m finding myself refreshing the new-in section of their website daily, in fear of missing one of their seriously designer-looking steals.
Keeping such a close eye on the new collection stands me in good stead to share with you the best Marks and Spencer buys I think you’d be a fool not to invest in for winter 2026. Yes, autumn may have only just arrived, but we all know the best M&S pieces fly off the shelves, so I’d suggest getting ahead of the seasonal rush to avoid missing out on a standout coat you’ll need when temperatures drop.
So, what are the highlights? I’m talking sumptuous faux-fur coats and beautifully cut wool outerwear; sleek leather boots, elegant flats and directional asymmetric blazers. In fact, many styles have come straight from the brand’s recent London Fashion Week catwalk show, which is bringing a distinctly high-fashion feel to the high street once again.
Below, you’ll fine nine exceptional pieces that immediately caught my eye (and had me adding them straight to my own basket), plus even more of the best M&S winter buys for 2026 worth discovering now.
