Marks & Spencer's Suedette Bomber Jacket, priced at £70, has been hailed as the perfect solution for autumn dressing, offering a versatile and flattering layer for the in-between season.
The jacket, available in a navy colour, was spotted by a shopper during a recent visit to the store. Described as having a super-soft feel, it features a smart collared neck, roomy patch pockets, an elasticated hem, and a concealed zip fastening.
Versatile Style and Fit
The shopper noted that the jacket offers a feminine twist on the classic bomber style, pairing well with dresses, skirts, combats, and jeans. Its navy colour is highlighted as a key advantage, as it can add subtle colour to a neutral outfit while matching virtually any item of clothing.
Despite some reviews mentioning the jacket is oversized, the shopper appreciated this aspect after buying it in her usual size. The roomy fit allows for layering with chunky jumpers or cardigans as the weather gets colder, though a waterproof layer would be needed in wet weather, and a longer coat for very cold days.
Affordable Alternative to Suede
The suedette material provides the stylish suede look without the higher price tag. For comparison, a similar Khaki Green Suede Collared Bomber Jacket from Next is priced at £250, while AllSaints' Ryder Suede Jacket is on offer for £279, down from £399.
Other budget-friendly faux suede options are available on the high street, including a Faux Suede Bubble Hem Jacket from New Look at £39.99, which comes in four colours including a chocolate brown option.
Flattering for All Body Types
The shopper, who identifies as a curvy size 14, found the boxy cut flattering on her 5ft3 frame, keeping her warm without feeling restricting. The jacket is available in sizes 6 to 24 at Marks & Spencer.
