‘Stylish and cosy’ M&S jacket gives ‘slimming’ effect and is ‘great for autumn’

Temperatures are set to dip this weekend, and retailers are helping shoppers stock up on autumn wardrobe essentials.

Transitional dressing can be tricky, with some days feeling like all four seasons at times.

Opting for lightweight layers can be the best way to feel prepared, and investing in warm but thin pieces can keep you cosy without overheating.

Handy for dog walks, running errands and coffee dates, M&S’ Borg Lightweight Funnel Neck Jacket is super easy to throw on and go.

Buy: Borg Lightweight Funnel Neck Jacket (£35)

Combining the lightweight feel of a jacket with the cosy warmth of a fleece, the jacket has a funnel neck and is made from fluffy borg.

There are four different shades to choose from, including spice – a warm tobacco colour, midnight navy, beige and dark green.

While it’s handy for autumn, the jacket is versatile enough to be worn in spring too, and even on chilly summer evenings, with the zip front making it easy to take on and off.

Some shoppers do mention that they found the sleeves to be too short, and unfortunately there aren’t different lengths to choose from, so this could be something to keep in mind.

Shoppers are leaving reviews on the jacket, with a high 4.7 rating overall.

Jenny on the block said: ”Wonderful fit and great for Autumn. Feels nice and cosy too!”

Another shopper commented: ”Stylish, cosy and slimming and reasonably priced. I was pleased with the colour and surprised how warm it felt.”

Babe Vibe also added: ”Lovely jacket, but with all M & S jackets and long sleeve clothes – the sleeve is too short so I had to return it. I give up buying any long sleeve clothing from M&S, I’m only 5’7” tall!”

Those looking for an even more versatile alternative could opt for the Reversible jacket from H&M, which can be worn on the teddy side or on the coated side.
