Denim jackets are a spring wardrobe *essential*. Due to the mid-weight fabric, they're great for the drastically varied weather we typically see in a single UK spring day. A denim jacket also strikes a balance between casual and put-together that other pieces just can't do. This versatility means you can go from a relaxed setting to a smart-casual get-together with just a single item.
And what store does the classics better than M&S? The brand is known for its high-quality basics that don't break the bank, and this collarless design is no different.
One of the biggest advantages of investing in a denim jacket is how well the material pairs with other fabrics and colours. Like the model, you can throw a jacket over a simple white shirt and trousers for an office-ready look, or pair it with dresses and skirts for a more feminine silhouette.
It's easy to play it safe with denim, since it's such a masterful pairing with all other colours, textures, and materials, but if you want to go bold, layering denim on denim is always a fun option. Throw this jacket on with your favourite pair of jeans, or even a denim maxi skirt, for ultimate 90's vibes.
This jacket feels especially feminine due to the curved neckline and regular fit, which ensures a more tailored, polished look. Although if you're a fan of the oversized, boyfriend vibe, then sizing up in this piece would be your best option here.
Because of their timeless appeal, denim jackets don’t rely heavily on trends, meaning you can wear the same piece for years without it feeling outdated. Although we love the original stamp that the collarless design gives on this otherwise classic design. It means the jacket feels less bulky around your decolletage and allows you to show off your favourite necklaces or playful blouses underneath.
Whilst the versatility of this jacket can't be undermined, if this M&S version isn't quite to your taste, there are plenty of other designs we are loving right now!
