New Look's new autumn collection has landed, and one piece already catching shoppers' attention is the Brown Checked Bubble Hem Jacket, priced at £45.99. The jacket features a tonal check pattern in black and brown, a funnel neck, and a bubble hemline that adds volume to the bottom. It fastens with a hidden zip and press stud at the neck, has elasticated cuffs on relaxed, balloon-style sleeves, and includes side pockets for easy storage.
A versatile layering piece for autumn
The jacket's relaxed fit is described as 'perfect for casual layering', and its neutral colourway means it can be worn with blue jeans, brown or black jersey trousers, and over maxi dresses. It is also suited to high-waisted trousers and skirts, making it a flexible addition to a seasonal wardrobe.
Shoppers who prefer a brighter option might consider the New Look Dark Red Faux Leather Buckle Hem Funnel Neck Jacket at £54.99, which shares the funnel neck and cinched-in hemline but comes in a vibrant cherry red.
Alternative check and print jackets
For those who like the check pattern but not the dark colourway, Tu offers the Neutral Check Print Funnel Neckline Bomber Jacket for £32, featuring a neutral and teal check print with a bubble hem and funnel neck. Tesco's F&F Leopard Print Funnel Neck Track Jacket in Multi Brown, priced at £32.50, is made from 100% cotton and has an adjustable elasticated hemline and funnel neck.
Availability and early reaction
The Brown Checked Bubble Hem Jacket is selling fast, which may affect size availability. It is only offered in a regular fit, not petite or tall, so those with shorter or taller statures may find the arms a little short or long. The jacket has no reviews yet, but when New Look teased the collection on social media, one user commented: "Oh yes I need it all," while another wrote: "Obsessed."
