Marks and Spencer has just revealed its new spring collection, and while there are lots of gems, from linen trousers to lightweight knits, a £75 bomber jacket is our pick of the range.
The quilted jacket has a distinctive green and white applique print and is something that would instantly liven up any outfit.
From M&S’ Per Una range, it has a boxy fit that is ideal for layering. You have probably seen quilted jackets everywhere and for good reason, given their versatility.
One works just as well over a lightweight jumper as it would a T-shirt during the tricky transitional season.
If your preference is for classic neutrals, investing in a patterned jacket could be a good way to elevate your plainer outfits. Plus, pattern is also big for spring 2025 so you would be right on trend with this coat.
It comes in sizes 6-24, but it’s selling fast, and items are often quick to sell out when new collections are launched, so you’ll need to be quick to nab it in your size.
If you’re looking for all-out pattern, this zip-up bomber jacket has a Kew Gardens-inspired pattern, with patchwork quilting. The blue shades make it perfect for pairing with denim skirts and jeans for spring.
It has a classic boxy bomber fit, with voluminous sleeves, and costs £58 from Next.
Making a statement doesn’t have to mean wearing bright colours – if you like a monochrome look, Roman has the £55 Floral Print Cotton Jacket (which does also come in pink), and the black and white option is lightly quilted, collarless and great for throwing over a spring outfit.
This could work for pretty much any occasion, you could pop it one for a quick walk, but for a smarter look, pair it with a satin midi skirt, fitted top and heels.
