Next jacket perfect for cooler spring days that makes shoppers look ‘effortlessly sleek’

‘So many people have commented on it’

The flowers will soon be in full bloom, and temperatures will be on the rise. But unfortunately, the arrival of spring does not mean the end of rainfall.

And that’s why it’s important to have pieces that are lightweight but can protect you from the elements. Next offers a wide range, including the popular £48 Brushed Collared Jacket.

Available in sizes 6 to to 26, it comes in burgundy and neutral. The garment is crafted from a soft handle fabric, and features a classic collar.

Gold metal buttons and front patch pockets provide the finishing touches. The jacket has a 4.6 rating from across 26 reviews.

A very pleased shopper wrote: “I purchased this a few weeks ago and love it, it’s cosy but not too heavy. It looks great with jeans or dressy trousers, so many people have commented on it.”

Another added: “Lovely light jacket, great colour and for the price good quality. The buttons make it look more expensive.”

The jacket is crafted from a soft handle fabric, and features a classic collar. Gold metal buttons and front patch pockets provide the finishing touches.

A third commented: “It’s a perfect jacket to wear with dresses but it also goes extremely well with jeans or skirts, I will certainly get to wear it on lots of occasions. The material is lovely, hangs beautifully and the overly large pockets and loose fit make it a very up-to-date piece that also looks classic and classy.”

Some customers, however, weren’t thrilled with the fit: “I looked like a maternity jacket so it was a definite no. The arms were wide and short, and the width was awful.”

Alternatively, there’s the Collared Jacket from H&M. Retailing for £37.99, it comes in beige, dark brown and dark grey.
