Shoppers across the UK are heaping praise on a 'stylish' and 'versatile' garment from high-street retailer Next, dubbing it the perfect solution for the current season's unpredictable weather.
The Must-Have Coatigan Bomber Jacket
The item causing all the excitement is the Coatigan Bomber Jacket, a clever hybrid piece that combines the comfort of a cardigan with the style of a jacket. Available for £42, it comes in two sophisticated colourways: a rich burgundy and a versatile grey.
Next describes the coatigan as a 'stylish and versatile layer', highlighting its soft, textured fabric that provides a genuinely cosy feel. Key design features include a practical zip fastening and a contemporary bubble hem, which work together to create a modern, flattering silhouette. The retailer positions it as an 'ideal piece for cool-girl styling on any occasion'.
Shopper Reviews and Sizing
The coatigan's popularity is backed by a wave of positive customer feedback. One impressed shopper labelled it a 'snazzy little number', questioning, 'What is there not to like about this little bomber?'. They went on to praise its comfort, trend-led design, and the beloved burgundy colour, noting it's 'great to pop on when you’re going out in the car too'.
Another five-star review simply called it a 'great jacket' that 'looks and feels nice'. Customer Nikki affirmed her loyalty, stating, 'I really love my new jacket. Next is always my go-to for shopping, I have been shopping there for years.'
Perhaps the most succinct endorsement came from Kathleen, who wrote: 'Lovely stylish jacket, perfect for this time of year.' Another reviewer highlighted its value, calling it 'great value for the price, casual but makes you look smart when on.'
To accommodate different body types, the Coatigan Bomber Jacket is available in sizes from XS to XL, with a choice of regular or petite fits.
How It Stacks Up Against Alternatives
While the Next coatigan is clearly a hit, the high street offers other options for those seeking a similar style. Marks & Spencer has a Scuba High Neck Zip Up Sweatshirt, which has been reduced in the sale from £38 to £18.
For those willing to invest more, Phase Eight offers the Byanca Zip Knit Coat, now priced at £94.50, down from its original £135. Despite these alternatives, the reviews suggest Next's £42 version holds its own as a firm favourite for its combination of style, comfort, and price.
