If you’ve been to M&S recently, you might have spotted a trending item that’s been flying off the shelves (both physical and virtual). The Cotton Rich Funnel Neck Bomber Jacket is the perfect throw on and go style, featuring a trendy funnel neck and chocolate brown/white polka dot pattern.
Priced at £55, the jacket is cut to a regular fit and features an elasticated trim at the cuffs and hem which create a sporty street-style look. The lightweight design is ideal for transitional seasons and handy pockets ensure you have a place to put essentials while out on autumn walks.
At the time of writing, sizes small to extra large are still up for grabs, with the extra small already sold out. On the M&S website, the Cotton Rich Funnel Neck Bomber has earned a practically perfect 4.9/5 star rating.

One shopper said: “Love the Polka Dots theme. Saw it trending online and had to get it.”
Another shopper said: “Viral jacket for good reason. Lovely quality on trend jacket. Nice thick material. Fits perfectly.”
While a third fan added: “Simply beautiful. This is by far the best thing I have bought in a long while it’s absolutely beautiful and very easy to wear. Lots of compliments and great material
However, this shopper knocked off a star due to the fit, writing: “This is a lovely jacket, however the sleeves are a little short on me. I would have probably returned if I hadn’t got it at sale price.”
For those looking to shop around Uniqlo is a good place to look. The brand’s best-selling Windproof Fleece Reversible Full-Zip Hoodie is priced at £39.90 and has a similar sporty design.
Available in five muted shades that are easy to style, it has a relaxed fit and water-repellent finish for those light autumn showers. With an inner fleece lining, the jacket has a reversible design allowing you to get two looks from one.
Fans of polka dots might also consider the Polka Dot Bubble Hem Zip Windbreaker Jacket for £35.99 at New Look. Also available in brown which has nearly sold out, the jacket has a zip up front with a funnel neck, dropped shoulders, and elasticted cuffs.
In other M&S news, the retailer celebrated 100 years of style last week, holding its very first London Fashion Week show on Friday, September 18. The ‘see now, buy now’ catwalk showcased the very best of the retailer’s brands, including items from M&S Collection, Per Una, and Autograph.
With all of the items dropping on the site as the show began, shoppers can officially bag runway outfits at more affordable prices. One item we’ve got our eye on is the Denim Split Front Midi Straight Skirt, £38, which features a flattering high waist and a front split for easy movement.
Available in sizes 6 to 18, it has a straight fit with angled pockets and belt loops. The skirt appeared on the runway as part of look 40, styled with a Per Una sheer high neck blouse (£70), suede stiletto boots (£140) and a collared leather jacket which has already sold out online.
