Next’s £64 padded winter coat ‘looks more expensive’

Autumn and winter weather are on their way, so it’s a good time to start thinking about a new winter jacket. Most high-street retailers have begun to launch their new season stock, and one puffer jacket in particular has caught our eye at Next. The long padded coat, which Next says is shower resistant (perfect for those last-minute downpours), is just £64. Despite its purse-friendly price, customers have said it “looks more expensive than it is.” 

The midi-length coat has snug padding and a hood, which another shopper said felt “like a duvet” when worn. Other reviewers have said it is “warm, comfy, and snug.” 

With two side pockets to heat your hands and a zip-up front, the puffer coat also flaunts a fashionable chocolate brown hue that effortlessly matches everything from your favourite jeans to a midi dress and tights, according to OK!

Available in regular and petite sizes, ranging from six to 22, with select tall options online, Next’s Shower-Resistant Padded Puffer Coat is ready to be snapped up for those crisp autumnal escapades.

Next’s Padded Puffer Coat has received a 4.2 rating from pleased customers who have remarked that it “looks more expensive” and also “feels like a duvet”. One five-star review read: “Excellent purchase and it’s a warm, comfy and snug luv it.

“I would recommend the coat to friends and family as it’s so warm and fits me perfectly.”

Another glowing review stated: “This coat is perfect, waterproof and feels like a duvet when it’s on. Great buy.”

A further content customer wrote: “Lovely and warm, plus it’s nice and thick, so when it’s windy you don’t feel it, not like other coats I’ve bought. Looks nice on, feel nice, just what I wanted. Well done Next.”

However, one shopper was less impressed with the hood’s design, writing in a two-star review: “Lovely length coat and felt warm, but I did not like the very bulky collar, so I had to return it. Would have liked just a simple hood.”

Meanwhile, another positive review read: “Love this coat. It’s very warm and goes with a lot of my outfits. It looks more expensive than it is, and it’s also true to size.”

Shoppers looking for alternative retailers will be delighted to know that outdoor brand Regatta is currently having a sale. Its waterproof Women’s Nurie Quilted Jacket is marked down from £120 to £72, offering a 40% savings.

Various other designs are also worth considering, such as the Brown Hooded Cropped Puffer Jacket at New Look, priced at £38.99 and available in four autumnal colours.
