‘Toasty’ £65 Next puffer coat is perfect for autumn

With the temperatures dropping, we’re heading firmly into puffer coat season. If you’re looking to update yours, we’ve spotted a great-value option at Next.

This £65 mid-length puffer comes in sizes 6 to 26 in the regular length and there are tall and petite options. It’s available in black, burgundy, ecru, khaki green and navy. For mums-to-be, there is a maternity option for slightly more, at £68, which comes in black and burgundy. And for those who like to match with their pets, there is even a pet harness, costing £24-28.

The shower-resistant coat ends just below the knee and closes with a zipper and poppers to keep warmth in. It also has functional pockets, and the hood can be neatly folded into the high neck with a concealed zipper.

It’s also easy to take care of as it’s machine washable.

Next shoppers are loving the coat online, with one reviewer saying they were “extremely happy” with their purchase.

“Lovely coat”, said another happy shopper, adding it’s “very warm, and it’s great that it has a zip so you can fold the hood up”.

A third shopper was happy with the size variety, saying: “It was a gift for my mother-in-law and she was thrilled because of the perfect fit. It’s great that you do petite sizes.”

“A very nice and warm coat. My daughter loves being toasty,” said another review. 

It’s worth noting that the coat is just shower-resistant and not waterproof, meaning it probably wouldn’t work as well as a raincoat, which may be a dealbreaker for some.
