Sainsbury's is selling a £28 shacket that shoppers say is perfect for 'transitional dressing' as the weather shifts between sunshine and rain. The Preppy Check Shacket, a cross between a shirt and a jacket, has drawn compliments from wearers.
Design and Features
The checked shacket comes in pink or blue, made from a lightweight fabric with an on-trend high collar. It features elasticated cuffs and hems, plus a covered zip fastening. Long sleeves make it ideal for a light cover-up in a breeze while staying comfortable on warmer days.
It can be layered over a vest or t-shirt, or worn done-up, offering multiple styling options. The outer fabric is 60% polyester and 40% cotton, with a 100% polyester lining. Sizes range from six to 24.
Shopper Reviews
Sainsbury's product description says: "Add an on-trend layer to your wardrobe with our preppy check shacket. Designed in a lightweight fabric, it's perfect for transitional dressing when you need a little extra coverage without feeling too warm."
The description adds: "The high collar and covered zip fastening create a clean, modern look, while elasticated cuffs and hem provide a comfortable fit. Easy to style with jeans, trousers or skirts, it's a versatile piece you'll reach for season after season."
Shoppers have given mixed reviews. One said: "Probably one of the coolest items I have bought in a while. Such a great oversized fit with elasticated cuffs which can be rolled up to create a more dramatic look. The burgundy, blush pink tones are super flattering and a little of friends who have complimented the item assumed it was from Urban Outfitters."
Another said: "Lovely jacket but very flimsy, not lined. Sadly returned as need it for Autumn. Was true to size." A third commented: "Very oversized and material very thin. Not really a jacket, more a shirt."
