Typically, the trusty denim jacket sees its prime during the spring and summer seasons. It's a lightweight, breathable, stylish layering piece that is a timeless classic, pairing well with virtually anything.
For those seeking such a staple for their wardrobe, we've discovered an affordable option from Next that checks all the boxes and has received high praise from shoppers with larger busts. The Fitted Denim Jacket is available in dark blue and black, offering a variety of fits including regular and fuller bust sizes.
Ranging from size eight to 26, this £35 jacket also comes in regular, petite, and tall sizes to accommodate different body types.
Crafted from a cotton blend, this 'soft' jacket contains 1% elastane for added stretch and comfort. The button fastening, dual flap chest pockets, collar, and side pockets all contribute to the classic silhouette of a denim jacket.
This Next piece offers a more fitted style compared to other oversized trends we've seen, such as the original Levis' trucker jacket, priced at £120, which exudes a vintage vibe with its drop shoulders and unique pitched '90s boxy profile, or New Look's £39.99 pale blue oversized denim jacket. While the latter was praised as a great 'spring/summer' jacket, many found it too large and opted for a smaller size, reports MyLondon.
Next's sleeker design has been lauded by style enthusiasts, particularly for its flattering fit around the bust. One thrilled five-star reviewer exclaimed: "Brilliant fit, fits bust area without any gaping, but still a good fit around waist and arms . Deep side pockets that don't gape even when I put phone and keys in . Soft denim with a slight stretch . Washes great with no sign of shrinkage."
Another customer remarked: "Great fitting denim jacket. I have always found denim jackets tight around my bust and have bought next size up but then rest of jacket is too large so this fuller bust size is great, such a good idea. Love it."
A third satisfied buyer, who opted for the fuller bust size, declared it as the 'best denim jacket I've ever bought'.
However, one shopper had a more mixed review, stating: "Fits really well over a full bust", but added a minor drawback: "But wish the jacket was less bulky overall."
For those seeking a less bulky option, we suggest a jacket without chest pockets or a classic denim cut. A more streamlined, softer denim like this cargo jacket from Cotton Traders, priced at £49, could offer a 'less bulky' silhouette. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here
Purchasers of the standard edition of Next's jacket have extolled its versatility with various ensembles. One enthusiast remarked, "Looks great with midi dresses," while another commented, "Lovely colour style and fit. I bought the tall which has generous arm length. Looks lovely with a dress trousers or jeans."
Shoppers can choose from the fuller bust variation or opt for the conventional Dark Blue Fitted Denim Jacket by Next, both available at the accessible price of £35.
