Marks and Spencer shoppers are already looking ahead to autumn and one stylish new-season jacket is quickly becoming a favourite thanks to its premium apperance, flattering fit and reasonable price tag. The Suedette Button Through Short Jacket, £55, has been earning glowing reviews from customers who say it ‘looks expensive’.
It serves as an easy way to tap into one of this season’s biggest fashion trends without spending designer prices. As shoppers start refreshing their wardrobes for the months ahead, lightweight jackets that can be layered over everyday outfits become a staple purchase.
Marks and Spencer’s latest faux suede design ticks all the right boxes, combining a timeless silhouette with modern details that make it suitable for everything from casual weekend wear to smarter occasions. Available in grey blue or olive, and in sizes 6 to 24, the jacket features a structured wide collar, a button-through front, pockets and a cropped length.
For more colour variety, Roman’s Faux Suede Pocket Jacket (£60) comes in four colours – stone, light pink, chocolate and burgundy. Shoppers say they have ‘recieved many compliments when wearing it’.
Those looking to spend under £30 can find New Look’s Tan Faux Suede Patch Pocket Jacket on sale for £27 down from £45.99. It has a constrasting corduroy collar making it very on trend.
The Marks and Spencer cropped jacket length means it works well with high-wasited jeans, tailored trousers and midi skirts or dresses. The soft faux suede fabric gives it an elevated finish while reamining easy to care for, making it an attractive alternative to genuine suede.
Versatility is one of the item’s biggest wins, allowing it to transition from late summer evenings into crisp autumn days. It offers plenty of styling opportunities so it’s no surpise shoppers have been leaving positive feedback on the Marks and Spencer website, where the jacket has earned an impressive average rating of 4.9 out of five stars.
One person wrote: “Great value, fashionable and luxurious faux suede. Feels so good on, can’t wait to wear for autumn.”
A second shopper shared: “I’ve had my eye on a suede one in another shop for £250! This one looks great and fits beautifully. And I won’t be stressed if it gets caught in the rain. I am normally a 14 and that size has enough room for a jumper on cooler autumn days.”
And a third customer said: “This is a great jacket, I bought the olive colour. Good fit, I’m a size 10/12 and bought the 10. Looks more expensive than it is. Very pleased.”
Sleeve length has proved a problem for some, including this person that commented: “Lovely colour very soft, good quality. Sizing good, although sleeves are slightly too long for me. Will look forward to wearing in cooler weather.”
Sharing similar thoughts, another shopper explained: “This is a beautifully made, great quality jacket at an amazing price but at 5″4 the sleeves are too long for me. I have decided to keep it and get it altered.”
But, to most, it’s a five star buy. Someone else highlighted: “Great value, fashionable and luxurious faux suede. Feels so good on, can’t wait to wear for autumn.”
