An autumn shopper has praised a £62 faux leather jacket from Next, describing it as 'light and stylish' and highlighting its chocolate brown colour and fit. The Chocolate Brown Faux Leather Button Through Jacket was spotted during a visit to a local Next store and has been earmarked for purchase on payday.
A Soft and Lightweight Find
The jacket, which comes in a stunning chocolate brown colourway, is described by Next as 'sophisticating' and 'edgy' at the same time. It features a formal collared neckline, sleek button-front detailing, and deep front patch pockets. The design combines a classic structure with a smooth faux leather and a slight shine, and it is not too heavy or bulky for milder autumn days.
Upon trying it on, the shopper said it was soft against the skin and really lightweight. While acknowledging that more practical, weatherproof options exist, the jacket was deemed 'golden' for fashion purposes, giving off an 'effortlessly expensive' vibe and feeling softer than harsh black leather. It can be worn for various occasions, from the office to drinks, and could easily transition into spring thanks to its lightweight design.
Styling and Sizing Notes
For outfit pairings, dark wash jeans and a t-shirt offer a casual look, while a burgundy or red jumper with a plaid skirt and ankle boots with gold jewellery suits a full autumn aesthetic. The shopper, usually a size 'M' in most jackets, found the 'S' to be just right, still offering that slightly oversized look.
At the time of writing, the jacket had three reviews on the Next website, with one negative review reflecting the sizing. One shopper said: "This is such a nice jacket I can’t wait to wear it when the cold weather comes in." A second review read: "Unfortunately had to return- I ordered XS, but it was big and I had to return." A third shopper added: "Love this jacket. Would size down. Am a 16/18 and the large was too big. Medium is perfect."
