Is it me, or is this a pretty ghastly look? Even if you’re young?

ReportNetherbyg84 I'm in Glasgow too, mid 50s, size 14/16. My issue is I'm short - 5 foot 1.5 inches - yes, the half-inch is very important . M&S have been making trousers/jeans in several lengths for ages but they seem to think that short women can wear standard tops, jackets and coats - we can't. We end up looking oversized and 'drookit' like the sulky model pictured here. As for sulky models, that's always been fashionable. For some reason, fashion thinks sullen is cool. 250 quid for a gold leather parka/cagoule is a complete rip-off, especially when pensioners can't even afford fuel this year. M&S aren't thinking straight; this makes them look callous.

This was my personal favourite in Asda last Spring. 🤣 Is she trying to be gender neutral?

Dreadful! Not just the model but the clothes too.

Typical tall, stick thin miserable looking model! Looks as though the jacket is falling off her shoulders. Wouldn’t suit me anyway as I prefer longer jackets. I do like real leather though, but the loss of the Winter fuel allowance won’t allow me to shop in M&S! Maybe from Vinted…

Will be sticking to smart and stylish. Sadly M&S are trying to appeal to the younger generation who wouldn't shop there. I'm more Whitestuff & John Lewis now.

One section I like in M&S is the recently bought Jaeger clothing. Mind you, I didn’t step out my habitual zone of long and short sleeved striped t-shirts.

😁😄😃😀🤣

I like the skirt as well. I’m not to be trusted with leather though since I believed the one person online who claimed that my beloved suede skirt would withstand a gentle 20 degree wash. Spoiler alert - it did not.

You’ll have to be quick, Jewelle. It looks as though it’s sold out in most stores as well.

Yes they have 4 left and I can collect tomorrow morning from my local branch!

I think sulky’s been a popular look for models for many years

Thank goodness. My "resting face" is miserable. 🙁

Ooh I like that jacket! Not the overall look but the jacket may just pop into my online basket!

Their cotton socks are comfy and vfm.

I don't like it but then fashion has always been about differentiating yourself from those not so much in the know. She looks a lot better than I do even when I'm trying, so who am I to criticise just because I wouldn't wear it. I bet my mother had similar thoughts when she helped me patch fashionably frayed loons and tried not to comment on the length of my micro-mini skirts...😂

Oh, I’m wrong, there are four left in size 10! Sadly I haven’t got a spare £250.

I quite like the look. And I’m obviously not the only one, as all sizes of that jacket are sold out online.

I quite like it!! She has a serious face - yes- but that’s ok.

M&S have really list their way with women's fashion. They are trying to appeal to the young market but they would not shop in M&S. I like their underwear, find the odd item of clothing here and there but really struggle now to find an outfit from their ranges. I now shop online a lot as the choice is better and I can try on at home with correct underwear, shoes, accessories etc. Never thought I'd prefer online to actual shopping but I do now.

It looks like someone trying to jazz up school uniform.

Exactly what I thought. Just asking for a detention!

In an email from M&S just now.

I think.........The jacket would be lovely with jeans and the rest of the outfit would look great with a black cardigan instead, or coloured if you waned to cheer it up.

I find the ads in emails from M&S quite weird. The models often look like expressionless aliens and the poses are strange and don’t show off the clothes.That one is a good example….

Not to my taste at all but I think probably lots of younger people would love it. As for the model I think most models have that kind of sulky look nowadays.

Hardly ever shop at M&S now. I don’t like the designs, their sizing is erratic and the website search engine is rubbish.

Looks like one of those poor homeless street kids to me. Or some kid playing truant from school.

She doesn't look too impressed herself 😁
