Back in the M&S reviews for the jacket, one shopper said: “I purchased this fab lightweight jacket in red, I know I will wear this on repeat during spring/summer months. I love both the quality and design. Gorgeous red colour tone. The funnel neck, gathered detailing, and zip pockets all elevate this jacket, making it look much more expensive than it is. I am 5ft 2”, normally wearing a 4 or 6, or XS, I purchased a size small, which is a perfect relaxed fit for me without being too oversized.”

A second review read: “This jacket in red is one of the best spring items I’ve purchased this year, top marks M&S and it was and excellent price too!”

A third fan said: “Fabulous jacket, great colour & fit, I’ve received lots of compliments.”

A fourth review read: “It looks great, comfortable and perfect for spring!”

It’s important to note that not all shoppers were as keen with the design and material on the jacket. This was reflected in a three-star review which read: “The material creases so easily and looks cheap although the jacket is a nice style and lightweight.”
