As a fashion writer, I have my eyes glued to the M&S new-in section, and when I spot a fashion must-have, it's something I have to shout about. Enter the M&S Panelled Asymmetric Waistcoat, which is not only gorgeous, but is also selling FAST with some sizes already gone. It’s one of those pieces that's effortlessly stylish, levelling up your wardrobe in an instant.
Let’s talk about the fit, because let’s be real, that’s what people notice first. This one nails it: tailored in all the right places for that sleek, elevated look, but still super comfortable to move in. And the asymmetric hem? Absolute perfection. Wear it alone or throw it on over a tee or even a long-sleeve blouse for a look that'll take you from desk to dinner.

Autumn is here, and the sun is still shining, the perfect time to grab this M&S Panelled Asymmetric Waistcoat.
Let’s talk about the colour - this classic olive shade may as well be a styling hack this season. It goes with everything and makes putting outfits together a breeze. Keeping it casual? Pair it with jeans and trainers. Want to dress it up? Layer it over a silky top and tailored trousers. Or, you could couple it up with the matching M&S Olive Triple Pleat Wide Leg Trousers. It’s basically a blank canvas for your whole wardrobe for you to take control of.
And, if you’re picky about how clothes feel on, luckily, the fabric feels like a treat to wear all day without any wardrobe malfunctions or drama. It's soft, smooth, and still holds its shape, with a touch of stretch (and an adjustable back buckle) so it stays comfy and beautifully fitted to your form. You can walk, bend, throw your hands up on a Friday - it won’t sag or go shapeless.
With the unique asymmetrical buttoning, it definitely stands out from the crowd and can be worn open or closed. A contemporary twist on a classic style, it's one piece that'll have people asking where you got it on the reg.
And despite its luxe look, you don’t have to worry about spending extra money on dry cleaning. Delivering gorgeous style without the hassle, just put on a gentle wash, hang it out to dry, and give it a cheeky iron if you’re feeling fancy.
But, as we mentioned, this waistcoat may be brand new, but it's already flying off the shelves. So if you're looking to add this little sophisticated gem to your wardrobe, you've only a matter of days.
