New season shopping is finally here and the M&S new in section is serving up a storm. It’s become the ultimate destination for ultra-stylish buys that could pass as designer but at a fraction of the price. As we head into autumn, it's the does-it-all high street brand on your radar.
From cherry red faux leather jackets to trending shaggy coats, M&S has plenty of cool pieces vying for a spot in your wardrobe, but they're so in demand, that viral pieces often sell out in days. Plus, with actress Sienna Miller launching her second collection of the season - the most incredible party edit - we've never been more spoiled for choice.
But without getting overwhelmed by the bustling new in-section, the heat team has curated a list of key pieces that are so good, that they're destined to sell out. Don't say we didn't warn you.

"Coming in hot from Sienna Miller's new collection, this stylish faux fur coat is elevated with rebellious leather straps and buckles and is under £100. I can't wait to live in it."

"All throughout summer I essentially lived in a linen waistcoat and shorts co-ord, so I'm super happy M&S have reimagined the silhouette for the festive season. This one from M&S stood out to me because it's black, which means it will pretty much go with anything, and it's also adorned with tiny silver embellishments, which I love. I'm picturing this with a pair of wide-leg satin trousers and some silver heels."

"If you haven’t got a metallic skirt already, now is the perfect time to invest in one. Not only will this skirt be a great addition to your festive wardrobe, but it can also be worn all year around. Whether that’s with a jumper and trainers to the office, or pair with a sparkly singlet and killer heels for a night out."

"Inject some 70s vibes into your A/W wardrobe with this stunning coat. I’m an Afghan coat lover and this one is a great dupe for more expensive designers. With stylish fur trim, this coat is also a practical option and will keep you warm on those cold winter mornings."

"You can’t go wrong with a pair of block heels which is why we all need these silver platform heels in our lives. They’ll be comfy, they’re guaranteed to add a little something to your outfit and we can already imagine all the compliments you’ll get wearing them."

"This beaut cable knit jumper is an absolute autumn essential and is the perfect knit to dress up jeans or trousers this season. The fringing detail really takes it to a new level of greatness."

"I’m a sucker for fake fur and this classy number from Hobbs falls on the right side of living my Kat Slater fantasy. It looks cosy AF and the funnel neck will keep my delicate neck toasty too."

"Yes, I know Christmas is ages away, but before we know it, we’ll be cracking out the festive knits and sipping mulled wine. Now, when it comes to Christmas jumpers you can go one of two ways: simple and chic, or garish. Personally, I’m going chic with this sequined slogan option which is perfect for pairing with a slip skirt or jeans."

"Now it's party season, I'm all about fun party tops that I could also wear to work primed for when the office manager inevitably appears with the drinks trolley in the name of 'Christmas drinkies'. It's fun, it's seriously cool and it won't be around much longer."

"Whilst off-the-shoulder jumpers aren’t always the most practical choice when it comes to winter dressing, I do love how effortlessly chic they look. This grey one pairs perfectly with a mini skirt and boots, or jeans for a more relaxed look."

"A cardigan is a must-have this A/W season. It makes for the perfect layering option as well as being able to wear alone as a jumper and the embellished buttons will add a luxe feel to your look. Pair with grey tailored trousers and ballet flats or a metallic skirt and heels."

"You can never have too many pairs of trainers, and these silver trabs will take you from the office to the office party, both quite literally when you walk in them and stylishly. Don’t wear heels ever, is my advice. They are a LIE."

"Argyle is very nostalgic and I'm happy to welcome it back with open arms this autumn/winter. This jumper is one I'm going to be investing in because of its colourway - cream, grey and green - it's extremely wearable. I'd also make sure to size up a couple of sizes to make sure this jumper is perfectly oversized and can be layered when it's really cold."

"If there’s one thing that’s more stressful than buying all your Christmas presents, it’s what to wear to all the festive parties. So I was buzzing when I spotted this metallic maxi dress that is perfect for the upcoming season. The colour, fit and style is simply stunning and let’s be honest, you could wear this all year round to all your other fancy events."

"Sienna Miller is back with her latest collection for M&S and I’m obsessed with each and every item. Especially these zesty, lime green heels which will be ideal for giving my festive outfits a fashion-forward edge. Everything from the bold colour to the gorg chain detail and high (but not TOO high) heel make them perfect for party season. I’ll be wearing mine with a sequin dress and faux fur jacket come party season."
