I’m a fashion-whizz, the 5 latest buys to snap up from M&S, including a dupe of the viral COS bag that’s half the price

A TRIP to the local Marks&Spencer is always a good idea – especially now that you can get your hands on a chic dupe of the viral COS padded bag.

That’s right – according to one super fan of the popular high street retailer, Kate Tipping, the store has launched a must-have bag she reckons is a close match for the designer version.

Nylon Quilted Shoulder Bag – £35

Unlike the posh option, COS’ Oversized Quilted Crossbody bag, which sells for an eye-watering £85, the Nylon Quilted Shoulder Bag at Marks&Spencer is going for £35.

Not only are you saving a whopping £50, but the high street accessory also comes in different colours, such as black, cream and pink – perfect if you want to add a little something-something to your outfit.

The bargain buy has also been a hit amongst shoppers, with one recently giving it a positive four-star rating.

”This in pink is very stylish and good value, although it was much bigger than expected. Well made and will be useful as a tote bag.”

Dream Satin Polka Dot Revere Pyjama Set – £30

Do you want to work on your sleep in 2024? Then Kate, as well as the team at Fabulous, reckon M&S’ new Dream Satin Polka Dot Revere Pyjama Set is a must – and it’s so cute as well.

These charming polka dot and heart print pyjamas come in a range of sizes, fro UK 6 to UK 22, and boast a number of great features.

According to the brand, the must-have PJs have been made with ”Cool Comfort and Cling Resist technology for a comfortable wear”, making them the perfect fit for any night.

The top features a classic revere collar and a neat chest pocket, while piped trims add a refined finish – and shoppers have given the cosy sleepwear almost five stars.

Cotton Rich Crew Neck T-Shirt – £29.50

You can never go wrong with a classic white T-shirt – and if you’re on the lookout for a new one, then the latest Cotton Rich Crew Neck T-Shirt is a no-brainer.

According to Kate, who shared her tops finds in a video posted on TikTok, this is yet another number ”very similar” to a COS item.

The delighted fashionista claimed the £29.50 wardrobe staple was ”super thick and buttery soft” – and we cannot wait to try it on.

The T-shirt, which boasts the on-trend crew neck, is also available in black, pink, dark navy and medium turquoise.

One style lover shared a positive review, writing: ”Material is thicker than a normal cotton t-shirt, but may keep it’s shape long term. Nice vertical stitching detail down the back. True to size.”

Someone else also urged to not sleep on the item, writing: ”This is a lovely smart T-Shirt, it is a little expensive for a T-Shirt but it was bought for a gift so looked a bit better quality than normal T-Shirt, detailing on the back is nice touch.”

Chunky Chelsea Platform Boots – £45

With the cold snap returning to the UK, it’s time to replace our trusty trainers with a pair of comfy everyday boots – and Chunky Chelsea Platform Boots, £45, is the ideal pick for this.

However, if you’re keen to grab a pair, best get racing to the stores as soon as possible, as the stock is running low and most sizes have been sold out.

Borg Lightweight Funnel Neck Jacket – £35

Another item the fashion super fan had spotted whilst checking out the latest collection was a funky fleece with a fun pattern – however, this item doesn’t appear to be online.

Instead, Borg Lightweight Funnel Neck Jacket is another great alternative – and it will also keep your body toasty as the temperatures drop.

This winter essential, which comes with a zip detailing, is available in four colours – spice, beige, dark green and midnight navy, the latter two of which are currently on sale for £7.
