Shopper Reviews
One shopper commented: "Great autumn coat to brighten up the gloomy days. Great autumn coat! I bought the red, lovely colour - in small and it’s perfect. Still got room to layer up, so a jumper can be worn underneath. I wasn’t sure about the cropped style at first, but it’s very trendy."
A second review read: "Got this jacket in maroon and have had loads of compliments. Looks great, very comfortable and keeps off the rain. Price is also good for the quality. Recommend sizing down one size."
A third shopper added: "Absolutely love this jacket it’s gorgeous, warm and perfect with any outfit, I will wear it to death this year." A fourth fan said: "Good quality, warm and cosy, great colour and on-trend."
Alternative Options
Not all feedback was positive, however. One shopper returned the coat, writing: "Lovely jacket, very good quality and seems warm but I returned it as it is on the puffy side and I didn’t think the puffy look suited me."
For those seeking a thicker, more waterproof option, a reduced Oodie puffer coat has been reviewed, featuring a warm 200gsm filling, a water-resistant outer rated at 5K, a double-ended zip and ribbed cuffs with thumbholes. Separately, New Look's Hooded Crop Puffer Jacket is available in seven colours and has been rated 4.8 out of 5, with shoppers praising it as 'comfy and warm'.
