Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Since the Stockholm label Totême dropped its scarf coat in 2021, the winter style has risen to cult status. Characterised by its wool outer, matching fringed scarf, relaxed fit and ivory contrast stitching, the design became a street-style star.
But with its £810 price tag, it remains a styling piece for the one per cent. Luckily, the Totême jacket inspired replicas across the high street – and it’s not hard to see the appeal, with the coat and scarf hybrid combining warmth and effortless style.
We can always rely on M&S for pitch-perfect affordable takes (see its sell-out Ganni-inspired ballet flats and Khaite-esque studded belt). Now, it’s dropped a coat that gives Totême’s iconic style a run for its money.
While we’ve not put either to the test, so can’t vouch for the quality, judging by looks alone the high street coat is certainly in keeping with the designer’s look. It features the same scarf detailing, black finish and contrast stitching and costs just £75. We predict a sell-out – so get yours now.
M&S textured detachable scarf wrap coat: £75, Marksandspencer.com
Distinguished by its textured finish and relaxed cut, M&S’s coat is elevated by the oversized scarf. Giving you extra versatility when styling, the detachable scarf can be worn laidback and loose or bundled around your neck to lock in heat. Complete with a neat round crew neck and a button-down fastening, the coat is unlined for a lightweight feel that helps nail transitional dressing.
The sleek black finish features intricate contrast white trims for a luxe look. Available in extra small to extra large, size up for a roomy fit that lends itself to layering over knitwear when the cold weather hits.
