Next's Polka Dot Funnel Neck Zip Through Boxy Denim Jacket has become a popular choice among shoppers looking for a lightweight layer for the transition from summer to autumn. Priced at £52 and available in sizes 8 to 20, the jacket features a playful polka dot design that updates the classic denim style.
Design and features
Made from 100% cotton rigid denim, the jacket has a boxy, cropped fit that works well with high-waisted separates. It includes a funnel neck, zip-through front and functional utility pockets, combining practicality with a stylish finish. The lightweight feel makes it suitable for breezy summer evenings and early autumn days.
The cropped jacket is designed for layering over T-shirts or lightweight jumpers as temperatures drop. For autumn, it can be paired with high-waisted trousers, jeans and ankle boots, while in warmer weather it works with dresses or trainers.
Shopper reviews
Shoppers have praised the jacket's versatility and fit. One reviewer said: "Exactly how it looks in pictures, perfect fit to be worn oversized without looking shabby." Another wrote: "Fab jacket! Excellent quality-looks stylish & goes with everything." A third shopper described it as an "on trend summer jacket", adding that it was "perfect for summer outfits."
However, not all feedback was positive. One shopper noted: "Nice quality jacket for the price, thick cotton and subtle stone colour. However, it was a very short, cropped style and not suitable for me so returned." Another reviewer praised the fit, saying: "I love the shape of this jacket. It's boxy and cropped. Very good quality." One more added: "Lovely jacket on, lots of compliments."
Alternative options
For those who prefer a different style, other lightweight jacket options are available. M&S offers the Cotton Rich Double Breasted Utility Jacket in navy and sage green, a new arrival that is among the site's best sellers. New Look's Stone Zip Through Funnel Windbreaker Jacket, priced at £32.99, comes in four colours and is designed for breezy days when a heavier coat is not needed.
