Marks & Spencer's spring take on the barn jacket trend is a bestseller
We can always rely on Marks & Spencer to deliver us fashion gems for less, and it's latest mid-season drop includes a utility-inspired jacket – think a lighter take on the barn jacket trend – that's shot straight to the top of our transitional wardrobe wish list.
The Cotton Rich Collared Short Utility Jacket has an authentic heritage feel in a sleek hunter-green colourway with a leather-look PU collar. It's short and boxy for a laidback silhouette and features a concealed zip and handy popper-fastening.
Giving us major designer vibes, reminiscent of Barbour's cult waxed jackets, it looks so much more expensive than its £69 price tag. What's more, to protect you for the British weather, it's finished with M&S' water-repellent Stormwear™ and has four roomy flap pockets (perfect for the dog-walkers amongst us).
Best of all, this M&S utility jacket is much more versatile that you might initially think. Pair it with activewear and hiking boots for exploring the countryside, team with a black bubble midi skirt and loafers for a day stomping around the city, or for a casual weekend look pair with a black knit and your favourite denim.
Practical yet with style in spades, we're predicting this heritage-inspired jacket will be an instant bestseller, as it's already been marked as 'in demand' and 'popular' on the M&S website. The £69 jacket is currently available in all sizes 6 to 24, but we reckon it won't be around for long. Invest in now and we guarantee you'll wear it on repeat come spring and into summer, too. A favourite with the celebrity set and fashion editors alike, we'll be throwing this stylish olive green jacket over knitwear and denim for an effortlessly cool, off-duty weekend outfit. A true year-round hero.

Right now, we've also got M&S' barn jacket, described by the brand as a 'waxed quilted parka coat' on our wish list. Barn jackets dominated SS24 runways, from Prada to Loewe, but while they're trending, they're also timeless. Cool-girl Alexa Chung has been loving them for years, after all, and has recently teamed up with Barbour for a third collab. So, this is another great-value option to consider investing in, but it's quickly selling out...
