M&S’ puffer gilet will protect you against the elements this autumn (Image: M&S)Let’s be honest, the British weather can be a bit of a wild card, especially during autumn. With the likelihood of frequent showers and a sudden drop in temperature, it’s crucial that your wardrobe is up to the task. Essential items like coats and jackets are a must-have to shield you from the elements. The ThermowarmthTM Hooded Puffer Gilet from M&S, priced at £35 here, offers the perfect solution. Not only is it a versatile layering piece for when the mercury plummets (think light knits and polo necks), but this sleeveless jacket has been designed to be your go-to garment this autumn. Its clever ThermowarmthTM technology will help keep you cosy, while the StormwearTM finish protects against light rain showers. And if all these smart features weren’t enough to tempt you, the gilet’s affordable price tag of £35 certainly will. It’s a steal for a piece that’s been lauded for its ‘quality’ by shoppers who’ve already snapped it up.

Some customers loved the design so much that they have snapped up the midnight navy, which you can also purchase for £35 here. While it’s hard to find a negative comment about the puffer gilet, one customer gave a little word of warning about the sizing, “Sizeing bit off had to go up a size to wear jumpers underneath. Otherwise good investment. ” Those searching for a style with a longer length might like to try Next’s Longline Quilted Gilet, £52 here – it is available in a light blue or mink brown.
