Marks and Spencer shoppers have found their go-to layer for the cooler months ahead: the Suedette Button Through Short Jacket, priced at £55. The lined jacket, available in grey blue or olive, has earned an average rating of 4.9 stars from customers, who describe it as 'very cute, very useful and very good value'.
Design and Fit Details
Crafted from a 'lovely soft fabric', the jacket features a timeless silhouette with a wide collar, covered buttons, and welt pockets at the waist for a neatly tailored finish. It comes in sizes 6 to 24, catering to a wide range of body types.
One delighted shopper commented, "Never mind that we’re in the never-ending heatwave of 2026… when the weather eventually turns colder, I’ll be wearing this a lot. Nice stylish basic." Another added, "Well made, good quality jacket at an amazing price."
Customer Reviews and Sizing Notes
More than 70 customers have given the jacket five stars, with one noting, "I am so pleased I bought this gorgeous jacket. It fits beautifully and the colour is so lovely. It has a nice weight so when the weather cools it can be worn with a T-shirt, short or long sleeved, or a lightweight jumper."
However, some reviewers caution that the jacket runs large. One wrote, "Looking forward to wearing this jacket in the autumn. Lovely shade of blue, but had to drop down a size as it was slightly too big on the shoulders."
Alternative Options from Other Retailers
For those seeking alternatives, Roman's Suedette Button Jacket costs £60 in chocolate, stone, and khaki, with an extra 10% off using code GOLD – or pale pink is reduced to £40. Made from woven fabric with a touch of stretch, it offers a boxy fit, classic collar, and practical patch pockets.
New Look's Button Front Collared Shacket is a budget-friendly choice at £29.99, available in oatmeal, dark khaki, navy, and dark burgundy. It features a similar short style with front flap pockets and gold-toned domed buttons for a luxe touch.

Why the M&S Jacket Stands Out
Despite the alternatives, the M&S Suedette Button Through Short Jacket 'looks very expensive and feels beautiful', according to reviews. Its combination of quality, price, and style makes it a standout choice for autumn and winter wardrobes.
