Ideal for wearing over summer dresses, workwear outfits or daring double denim – we think you’re about to start seeing this jacket everywhere this season
It’s finally denim jacket weather and fashion fans have been heaping praise on a ‘smart yet casual’ option at Marks and Spencer that ‘looks expensive’ and gives renowned brands a run for their money.
The high street favourite’s Pure Cotton Denim Relaxed Utility Jacket is a refreshing take on the oversized outerwear trend, and shoppers say it ticks all the boxes.
Coming in at £45, the versatile wardrobe addition is designed in a comfortable relaxed fit, with a popper button-through fastening and plenty of functional pockets for storing your phone, keys, cards and lip balms.
Those who bought it have said it’s ‘smarter than traditional denim jackets’ making it ideal for those evening events, while still being perfect for those laid-back days.
Customers have raved about the flattering fit, the excellent value for money, and the impeccable quality, leaving an overall rating of 4.5 stars out of five. One said: “Great jacket, fits well, popper buttons makes it easier to fasten them. Loads of good sized pockets. Looks smart but casual.”
“Wife looks stunning in this! Casual smart and cool,” said another, with a third adding: “Great fit, great price, good value it looks expensive.”
Some have said that the sizing comes up large, and recommend sizing down, commenting: “Love that this is longer in length than most denim jackets. It does come up a little big, so consider sizing down. I can see it being useful with both trousers and dresses/skirts.”
Others have said it even rivals more expensive brands, and is a great cheaper alternative. One said: “Good shaping and quality denim. Accurate sizing and very good price. Not quite TOAST but a great bargain alternative!”
The most similar we could find on the Toast website was the Hal Denim Workwear Jacket, which comes in at £165, meaning shoppers could save over £100 with the high street version. Coming in a medium indigo wash, the jacket comes in sizes 6-24, with only a size 6 currently sold out.
We love how many looks this chic jacket could be thrown over, whether you pair it with trousers for a sleek, polished look, or throw it over a dress or skirt for a summer day fit, or opt for double denim for a cooler edge.
Other summer-ready picks we love at M&S include these £30 Wide Fit Strappy Block Heel Sandals as will this under £50 straw shoulder bag.
