Spring is *finally* here, and that means pastel colours are firmly back in our wardrobes once again.

For those unpredictable weather days when you’re not sure whether just a T-shirt will cover it, Next has you set for the new season with a pastel pink funnel-neck jacket that feels light and breezy while tying your whole outfit together.

Slightly more elevated than a basic denim jacket, this pink number brings a cute twist to minimalist outfit, with its ruched arms and waist - a pair of sunnies and straight-leg jeans are all you’ll need to add to make this a perfect choice for an iced coffee run.

The versatile spring jacket ticks off three major trends this season: funnel necks - which first emerged on last season’s runways before being spotted at Victoria Beckham and Altuzarra with a spring update; pink - which was seen absolutely everywhere at Copenhagen Fashion Week in January; and the always-classic stripes.

Next’s affordable jacket fits these styles in just the right way, with subtle pastel pink-and-white stripes giving a fresh, springlike look, while the funnel neck gives an edgy twist. All this, while the 100% cotton material gives a soft, lightweight feel.

As for styling, this jacket will fit with a limitless array of combinations. Throw it on over jeans and a nice top for casual weekends, dress it up with floaty white midi skirts for the office, or pair it with Next’s matching pink stripe drawstring mini shorts for brunch with the girls.

You’ll reach for this jacket again and again throughout the spring season and beyond.
