Its shortened design also made it incredibly comfortable to wear, and it didn&#8217;t feel too heavy, much like my thicker day-to-day jackets and coats. Perfect for spring, in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"a person in a clothing store wearing a brown jacket and wideleg jeans posing in front of a mirror\" title=\"A person in a clothing store wearing a brown jacket and wideleg jeans posing in front of a mirror\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"4284\" height=\"5712\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/f80d279e-98a1-4e7e-83a7-1b81f3243acc.jpg\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Hearst owned<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"22\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">But it&#8217;s not just its practicality that appealed to me, the jacket is also aesthetically appealing, too. Uniquely designed, the jacket comes with one of the ultimate trending features of the season: a high, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodhousekeeping.com\/uk\/fashion\/style-advice\/g68901398\/best-funnel-neck-jacket\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.goodhousekeeping.com\/uk\/fashion\/style-advice\/g68901398\/best-funnel-neck-jacket\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"funnel neck\" data-node-id=\"22.1\" class=\"body-link css-7v8mn9 emevuu60\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">funnel neck<\/a> with sophisticated button detailing. Not only that, but it comes with adjustable button cuffs for easy wearability, which also add to its polished charm.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"26\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Its neutral hue also makes the jacket incredibly versatile and easy to wear with a conveyor belt of colours likely to be in your current wardrobe, from bright reds and pinks to muted lilac and baby blues. However, if you&#8217;d rather keep the outfit formula pared back, take notes from M&amp;S and pair it with bright whites and creams &#8211; I think a tiered white skirt looks excellent with the jacket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Just when I thought I couldn&#8217;t find another jacket to reign over my chic, Chlo\u00e9-inspired blouson jacket (which,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":350849,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[72,1424,61,60,10108],"class_list":["post-350848","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-fashion","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-most-popular"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350848","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=350848"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350848\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/350849"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=350848"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=350848"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=350848"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
