In the run-up to Christmas, many of us are trying to save every penny we can. To help ease the financial burden of those last-minute gifts, New Look has a festive sale offering up to 25% off almost everything until Monday.
And one winter staple we’ve spotted that has almost £10 off is the Black Cropped Puffer Coat. Normally priced at £38.99, shoppers can snap up this ‘perfect jacket for cold and windy’ weather for £29.24.
Available in several colours from black to brown to khaki, the cosy coat is slightly cropped in length – it falls just above the hips – and can be tightened at the hemline with a toggle fastening to keep out the chill.
The coat has been a popular choice among shoppers and while stock varies depending on which colour you go for, the black hue still has all sizes 6 to 22 in stock.
Easy to grab when racing out the door, the padded jacket is stylish and practical and comes with a zip fastening and hood – perfect for sheltering from the inevitable British rain. It has a relatively relaxed fit too mean it is ideal for layering a jumper underneath in icy conditions.
While the padding is described as ‘midweight’, many shoppers have commented on how warm it keeps them while protecting them from the wind, reports the Mirror, with some urging others to ‘buy it!’. One glowing five-star fan of the coat raved: “Great coat, perfect length and a lot warmer than I thought, would definitely recommend.”
Another added: ” Amazing jacket which kept me warm in the cold and windy times, it fit me perfectly. The jacket also looked really good with all my outfits and didn’t make it look weird or stand out too much!”
Stating how it’s ‘great’ for autumn and winter, another satisfied customer, who chose the coat in brown, said: “I’m really happy with this coat. It’s a great colour for autumn/winter and it’s lovely and warm. I’m 5 feet tall and it’s a nice length on me- hitting around the hip. I got a size 10 and it’s true to size.”
“Good coat,” hailed one New Look fan, who continued: “lightweight but warm enough and just the right length. I’m tall and it’s quite cropped,” although they did note one downside: “I discovered in the rain today that the hood is a bit small (I do have a big head but it didn’t reach the front of it! ).”
Commenting along the same lines, another shopper said the ‘only drawback’ of the coat was that ‘it’s not waterproof’. They remarked, backing this up: “It says on the tag that it’s showerproof only.” Despite this, many customers described it as the ‘perfect’ coat for the current weather.
With end-of-season sales underway, New Look is not alone in offering discounts. Debenhams’ sale boasts up to 70% off a wide range of items. Similarly , Nobody’s Child has launched a sale with up to 50% off, featuring items like a stunning oversized red double-breasted wool blend coat at £99 off.
If you’re on the hunt for a fur coat with a similar boxy shape to the puffer jacket above, stick with New Look and snag the Brown Leopard Print Borg Jacket which is reduced to £32.24 from £42.99. Made from cosy fleece material, it’s a statement look that’ll keep you warm.
As the festive season approaches, you might be in need of a new weekend travel bag. New Look recently launched this Brown Leopard Print Travel Bag for £29.99 – but with 25% off it’s £22.49.
The bag, which has ‘plenty of space inside’, is perfect for work trips as it can easily accommodate a laptop along with all the essentials needed for a work day. You can also attach (and detach) an extendable strap onto the bag for easy transportation.
However, one shopper pointed out that there was only ‘one inside pocket which wasn’t very deep or roomy’. It’s also a great alternative if you’re a fan of the £312.70 leopard print Longchamp X D’heygere Travel bag.
