One pleased customer said: “It’s warm, cosy and smart and at only £70 is terrific value for money. This will be a wardrobe staple for many a year I’m sure.”
Meghan Markle’s winter wardrobe has long been coveted by fashion fans, with her polished style frequently documented at public appearances and events. Those looking to recreate the Duchess of Sussex’s look without the designer price tag are in luck, because I’ve found a high-street piece that is perfect for replicating her elegant style on a budget.
The Darted Revere Collar Longline Coat, from Marks and Spencer, bears striking resemblance to a formal camel coat worn by Meghan back in January 2020 for a visit to Canada House. Meghan’s exact ‘Sable’ coat came from high-end fashion brand Reiss and would have cost hundreds of pounds – but M&S’ take on the outerwear number is priced at a much more affordable £70.
A longline coat is a timeless wardrobe staple, said to bring ‘understated style’ to a wardrobe. They’re ideal for those dressier occasions when a puffer coat simply won’t do, with fans of the jacket saying it ‘looks and feels more expensive’ than its price tag.

Cut in a regular fit, it features a smart revere collar, two waist flap pockets – just like Meghan’s Reiss number – and front darts to ‘create a flattering shape’. Available in sizes six to 24, it comes in petite and regular lengths, though taller shoppers may be disappointed it doesn’t come in a longer version, too.
Coming in a neutral ‘caramel’ tone, the jacket will pair beautifully with almost anything, whether it’s jeans and a jumper for a weekend coffee date, or over a festive party outfit. This style of jacket is immensely popular year on year, which means they’re never in short supply on the high street, either.

At New Look, their Camel Single Button Lined Coat has been reduced from £50 to £35, providing a purse-friendly outerwear option. One shopper said of the jacket: “It was a really nicely made coat, with full lining, but the fabric was heavier than I wanted. Nice and warm if that’s what you are looking for.”
Meanwhile, with chocolate brown being one of the major colour trends this season, there’s the Chocolate Brown Formal Funnel Neck Coat at Next for £88. It features a funnel neck, a button-through fastening, and a belted waist, creating a smart and timeless silhouette that’s perfect for formal occasions.
Back at M&S, many have praised the ‘slimming’, ‘cosy and smart’ coat. It earned a 4.4 star-rating based on over 60 reviews, one of which read: “Lovely coat, exact colour I wanted, looks and feels more expensive.”
One fashion fan loving all the brown shades this season added: “I am very into browns, camels and all shades of brown this year so bought this to go with skirts and trousers.”
“I’ve been looking for a smart winter coat for ages,” said another. “I’m only 5′ tall and every coat I tried just swamped me. This coat, in petite, is a perfect length, it’s warm, cosy and smart and at only £70 is terrific value for money. This will be a wardrobe staple for many a year I’m sure.”
Many shoppers, however, have complained about the coat’s popper-style fastening as opposed to traditional buttons. One said: “Although I dislike the stud fastenings, the overall fit and quality are excellent.”
“Have been looking for a camel coat for while this one fits the bill perfectly the only criticism is the poppers would have preferred buttons,” said another.
