M&S shoppers 'love' the 'striking' colour of 'stunning' shacket that's 'a perfect fit'

Marks and Spencer shoppers have fallen for a "stunning" brightly coloured shacket after spotting it online.

Legendary British retailer M&S is a firm favourite among shoppers, thanks to its vast range of on-trend clothing, accessories, homeware, beauty supplies, furniture and more.

The high street favourite, which was founded in 1884, maintains a connection with shoppers through several social media pages, where regular images and videos of new stock keep shoppers updated on what they can expect to find in stores and online.

The popular retailer has amassed millions of followers on Instagram. Many of Marks and Spencer's staff members also manage Instagram pages of their own. Dubbed 'M&S insiders' on the hit social media platform, they share their outfit ideas and inspiration, as well as styling tips and advice.

Recently, M&S insider Sam Briones shared a carousel of images featuring the company's Twill Relaxed Shacket in red. The vibrant shacket - a portmanteau of jacket and shirt - costs £59 and comes in sizes six to 24, though a number of sizes are already sold out online.

It's designed in a relaxed fit, with extra large cuffs and top pockets alongside a classic collar and a curved hem. It's complete with matching buttons to the front, large pockets and deep sleeve cuffs. It can be purchased here.

To her 20.7K followers, Sam simply captioned the images: "I'm a huge fan of this striking flame red shacket. Dressed down here with some trusty MOM jeans in the shade 'ecru', some funky boots and an over the shoulder bag. The strap of the bag ties everything together nicely."

The shacket proved popular among fashion loving Instagram users, pulling in heaps of likes. Shoppers shared their thoughts in the comments section. Agatka said: "Wow, you look stunning in this colour!"

Claire said: "Bought this yesterday", while another shopper commented: "Love the shacket", to which Sam replied: "It's amazing!" Reviews on Marks and Spencer's website were equally positive.

One happy customer said: "I bought this shacket a couple of weeks ago and have worn it a couple of times now and have had lots of nice compliments. It's a good quality material that hangs nicely. The colour is very striking and looks great with black jeans and chunky boots. As it said 'relaxed' shacket I went for a size down and I'm glad I did as it's a perfect fit it you don't want it over big. It's also warm and cosy and nice to wear on cooler days without a coat when it's not raining."

Another shopper said: "It feels great on and I have been complimented every time I've worn it out." A third added: "This is my new fave jacket… love the colour and the fit. It's warm enough if you dress up with a scarf and gloves… but also good to throw on to keep the chill out. Love it".
