Despite the bright spring sunshine, there’s still the chance of a nip in the air, so a lightweight spring jacket is an absolute must-have. Next’s Threadbare Classic Denim Jacket is the perfect option, having received an impressive 4.5-star rating from customers, the Liverpool Echo.

Next’s official description on their site outlines: “This denim jacket from Threadbare features a classic collar, metal shank buttons and button cuffs. The jacket also has two chest pockets and two side pockets. Perfect for layering. Also available in other colours."

Available in shades including black, chocolate brown, light blue, sage green, rust, and more, this versatile piece is machine washable and crafted from a blend of 98% Cotton and 2% Elastane, promising both comfort and durability.

Happy purchasers have showered it with praise, with one enthusing: “This jacket is just what I have been looking for, it is well-tailored, the material is of a good quality, I love the side pockets, they are so useful. In a nutshell: this is my most loved casual jacket! The size is perfect too!” [SIC]

Another chimed in with: “A really nice casual jacket perfect for this time of the year."

One contented buyer professed: "Good coat goes well with everything."

Yet another satisfied customer declared: "Ideal little summer jacket, looks good with dresses or jeans/trousers."

One final review celebrated the find: "I was looking for an affordable black denim jacket, and this ticked all the boxes. Fit was perfect and looks good on. A must have for any wardrobe."

Nonetheless, one customer pointed out that the jacket "puffed out at the back", a sentiment echoed by a review stating: "Poor fit at the back. Puffed out too much. Quite thin material. Sent it back."

If this jacket appeals to you, it’s up for grabs here at just £28. But you'll need to be quick because the jacket is starting to sell out in some of the colours.

On the other hand, White Stuff is offering their Carrie Denim Jacket for £56, down from its original price of £70.
