A popular autumn jacket from Next is making a splash with shoppers, proving that staying dry doesn't mean sacrificing style. The Brown Check Rubber Rain Jacket is being praised for its elegant design and effective rainproof qualities.
Stylish Design and Practical Features
The jacket, available in sizes from XS to XL, comes in a brown check pattern as well as a burgundy option. Customers can also select between a regular or petite fit to suit their frame. Next describes the piece as an 'elegant' and 'practical' addition to any wardrobe, featuring a zip-through design, a hood, and convenient side pockets. The retailer has positioned it as the perfect transitional piece for a chic, all-weather wardrobe.
Shopper Reviews and Feedback
Customer Enid awarded the jacket a five-star rating, stating she loved the style, check design, and colour combination. She confirmed that "the rain just runs off" and noted it is also windproof, though she mentioned the length was a minor drawback.
Another satisfied customer called it a "lovely style and great rainproof autumn jacket" that is very flattering. One reviewer even reported receiving "lots of compliments" while wearing it, calling the colour very up to date.
However, not all feedback was completely positive. Reviewer Kelly gave it four stars, praising the generous, stylish cut and excellent hem shape but noting that the lining can get wet around the edges during heavy rain. Another shopper, Kathryn, simply did not like the material, finding it not flexible enough.
Alternative Options on the Market
For those considering different styles, New Look offers a Burgundy Water Resistant Drawstring Hood Rain Anorak for £39.99. Meanwhile, Uniqlo has its Blocktech Coat (Relaxed) on sale for £69.90, reduced from £89.90.
Despite these alternatives, the consensus for Next's offering remains strong, with many shoppers agreeing it successfully allows you to stay dry in style during the unpredictable autumn weather.
