The trendy £35 lightweight jacket you’ll wear all spring
It's lightweight, warm and comes in numerous different colours.
It might seem hard to believe when you look out of the window, but spring is on its way.
And when we're blessed with those gloriously sunny, warmer days, it's way too toasty to be walking around in your winter puffer or faux fur.
Yet the air is still a little crisp so going completely coatless is a risk very few of us are prepared to take. Understandably.
Hence we've hunted high and low for the perfect spring jacket that ticks all our boxes – something affordable, stylish, that keeps us warm without being too hot and looks great with most things in our wardrobe.
We've come up trumps thanks to this Marks & Spencer Recycled Thermowarmth™ Lightweight Quilted Jacket, £35.
Find out why it'll be an essential wardrobe staple for years to come. (If you like what you see, keep reading to the end to find out more about the longer version and a gilet option, too).
Why we rate it
We love the slightly curved cut of this lightweight quilted jacket, and that the zip front fastening looks just as good open as shut.
The recycled polyester fabric features smart water-repellent Stormwear™ tech – an essential when it comes to spring. Those April showers are no joke and this will keep you dry and cosy.
The stylish wardrobe essential has another big bonus: it features Thermowarmth™ insulation to keep you warm when the air is a little nippy. That makes it the perfect choice for those early morning dog walks.
(And, yes, it has pockets on each side to carry poo bags and other essentials).
Plus, it's the last word in versatility. Not only does it look fantastic with jeans, trousers, or over athleisure, but it's chic enough to wear with all sorts of dresses and skirts, too.
As it comes up slightly oversized, you can also layer a jumper or cardigan underneath if you need, and throw your favourite light scarf around your neck.
It's available in sizes six to 24 in four classic colourways, too: hunter green, navy, black and pale blue.
It's a definite keeper that looks worth way more than its £35 price point. Trust us – it'll see you through spring, summer and autumn for many years to come.
What the reviews say
The stylish jacket is flying off the virtual shelves as we write this, with loads of people commenting favourably about how cosy, useful, versatile and affordable it is. Another winner for shoppers is how big and deep the side pockets are. And happy customers also love that it looks stylish enough to garner compliments, too.
"It's a very nice length, very cosy and warm and practical for getting in and out of the car. Such good value too. In fact, I liked it so much, I bought another one in the pale blue."
"Lovely jacket, just perfect as it is lightweight and warm with deep side pockets. It also looks smart."
"Nice lightweight jacket, really liked the fact that although quilted its not bulky, so it doesn't make you look bigger than you are and its still warm in this cold weather. Bought in black which looks smart and will go with any colour. Also bought size larger for this time of year to have the option to wear thicker jumper underneath if necessary."
"I bought this jacket for cooler but not cold weather and also to wear in the classroom in the winter. It's well made and cosy but also comfortable and I can work in it. Perfect."
"Lovely light jacket. Good for slipping on as an extra layer without adding bulk. My daughter commented on how nice it looked on."
