Features of the jacket:
- Sophisticated funnel neckline
- Adjustable cinch waist
- Functional utility style pockets
- Concealed zip-through front with a buttoned storm flap
- Relaxed long sleeves
The Next jacket has received an impressive overall rating of 4/9 out of five stars based on 11 customer reviews. One happy shopper said: “Had been looking for something like this for a while. Love the colour. I always choose black but decided this would be a great colour going from Spring into Summer and even early Autumn. Not too thin, but warm enough to wear without layering.”
A second added: “I feel so cool in this. The colour and neckline are very on trend but I think I will wear this for a long time. It’s really comfy, a nice transitional jacket, and I love the waistline as it adds a bit of shape unlike most denim type jackets. The chest pockets are good, and the lack of hip pockets honestly makes it easier to be off my phone as it goes in my bag. I don’t think the styling on the model is very inspiring – it looks way better irl!”
“Absolutely love this jacket, and so does everyone else whenever I wear it. It’s light and versatile… my favourite buy for the upcoming season”, penned a third.
However, a few shoppers did find that the sizing was big, so you many need to size down if you’re not a fan of the oversized look. One review reads: “I absolutely love this jacket I had to down a size as they are a large fit, I [am] usually a size 10 but had to go for a size 8 and it’s a perfect fit.”
Another added: “Lovely jacket, comes up quite large so I downsized a size and it’s still a little oversized.”
Elsewhere, you could take a look at the ASOS DESIGN short cotton harrington jacket. It’s priced at €44.99 and is available in stone, khaki, and pale blue.
Meanwhile, the €85 Washed Satin Look Bomber Jacket in ecru is marked as ‘selling fast’ on the Marks & Spencer website.
