Marks & Spencer has dropped the price of its Gingham Button Through Short Jacket to £38, offering a light layer for unpredictable weather. The jacket, blending shirt and jacket styles, is available in sizes 10, 12, 14, 18 and 22 at the time of writing.
Design and Features
The shacket comes in a versatile beige colourway with a subtle gingham check. It is made from a cotton-rich fabric in a regular fit, with a collared neckline and concealed button-through front. The cropped length includes two flap pockets on the chest, and the piece is fully lined. M&S describes it as part of their Collection: 'easy-to-wear wardrobe staples that combine classic and contemporary styles.'
Shopper Reviews
Customers have praised the jacket. One said: 'Great jacket! Super versatile. If styled with more formal outfit goes perfect! Also great with casual as the model on the pic! Perfect for summer/mid season where you don’t need a warm coat but just something to finish the look and get ready for when the temperature drops a bit.'
Another reviewer noted: 'Beautiful short jacket. Love the fit and size 12 perfect for me. Normally between a 12 and a 14. Great summer jacket and takes me right into autumn.' A third added: 'Well made, flattering jacket - perfect for summer!' A fourth fan commented: 'Saw this on line but not in store. What a lovely jacket, lightweight and great to pack away. I sized down - but the sleeves are too long, but they can be altered or have taken up professionally. Fantastic value, would highly recommend. M&S you’ve nailed it again.'
