George by ASDA has launched its new autumn womenswear collection, featuring coats, dresses, and knitwear that look more expensive than their price tags. Among the standout pieces is the Brown Check Wax Effect Barn Jacket at £42, a showerproof style with a contrast corduroy collar and diamond-quilted lining that shoppers have praised for its value.
Designer-Inspired Details at Supermarket Prices
The new range takes inspiration from the A/W2026 catwalks, embracing maximalist, earthy, and Renaissance-inspired dressing. Key components include moody florals, oversized collars, and dropped waists, alongside pieces reminiscent of Claudia Winkleman's Traitors wardrobe, such as the Grey Check Kilt Midi Skirt at £18.
The Brown Check Wax Effect Barn Jacket features a press-stud and zip fastening, matching cuff sleeves with press-studs, and an adjustable waist. Made from 100% cotton with shades of red, brown, black, and cream, it is labelled 'showerproof' and is designed to complement most outfits.
Shopper Reviews and Styling Tips
Shoppers have responded positively, with one five-star review noting: "This jacket is a fraction of the cost, compared to similar ones online." Another customer advised sizing up, stating: "Lovely jacket, ordered my normal size but not roomy enough so have ordered a size bigger."
For a complete look, the jacket pairs well with the Chocolate Tapered Cargo Trousers at £22 and trainers, or with a mini skirt, tights, and the Brown Knee High Riding Boots at £28 for a day-to-night outfit.
More Coats and Cosy Knitwear
Another option is the Light Tan Barn Bomber Jacket at £38, which features a contrasting corduroy collar, press-stud and zip fastening, two side pockets, and is shower-resistant. Its bomber cut includes a rounded hemline and a placket covering the fastening.
George's knitwear includes the chunky Green Argyle Scarf at £12 and the Brown and Blue Striped Slim Knitted Scarf at £12. The Brown Nordic Funnel Neck Cardigan at £22 offers a funnel neck and button fastening, with indigo blue accents that pair well with deep blue jeans.
Eye-Catching Date Looks
The Mustard Check Hanky Hem Midi Skirt at £20 complements the coat's tan-brown colour, and it can be bought with the Mustard Check Ruched Co-ord Blouse at £18, which features a boat neckline, balloon sleeves, and ruched detail. One review noted: "Lovely top but too small around the hips."
For a floral option, the Brown Paisley V-Neck Maxi Dress at £26 offers a bohemian edge with its paisley design in pinks, oranges, and greens. Alternatively, Nobody's Child's Black Floral Amara Midi Dress, reduced from £79 to £24, features yellow and buttermilk-yellow florals on a black background.
