Next sale slashes £60 shower resistant jacket for 'unpredictable weather' to £22
Get ready for autumn by taking advantage of Next's deal on this convenient waterproof jacket.
The UK has been enjoying one of its warmest summers this year. With four heatwaves in total across Britain, we've been spoiled when it comes to sunshine and glorious days.
However, there's no denying that a change in the weather is on the horizon. With autumn arriving in two weeks and a potential 600-mile rainstorm set to hit parts of the UK, it's time to think about wearing extra layers.
For fashion enthusiasts looking to update their wardrobe for less, then Next has dropped the cost of the Black Quilt Overhead Jacket from £60 to as low as £22, saving £38 off the RRP, making it better than half-price.

With its overhead design and quilted heritage-inspired aesthetic, this jacket is the ideal throw-on-and-go layer when heading out for coffee, to the gym and when running errands outside.
On the Next website, the lightweight jacket is still available to buy in a range of sizes from extra small to extra large, although some are showing "low stock."
With its shower-resistant finish and quilted padding, this layer is perfect for autumn. Its overhead design, popper neckline, side pockets and kangaroo flap make it convenient and stylish at the same time.
Meanwhile, there is a blue colourway as an alternative, although that is a tad pricier at £26 and with less stock available.
Designed to be "suitable for the unpredictable seasonal weather", it features a shower-resistant finish and warm quilted padding along the inside to keep the wearer dry and warm.
It's finished with a popper neckline and a tall collar for further protection against the elements, while a kangaroo flap pocket and two handy side pockets are useful for storing smaller items such as a phone and keys.
Whether worn over gym gear with trainers or a pair of trusty denim jeans and heels when on a day out, Next's jacket is a practical and convenient layer that can be thrown on whenever there's a light shower spell.
Ahead of autumn and even winter later in the year, another deal on the high street worth bagging is on H&M's £34 Oversized Quilted Jacket, with a roomy design that looks perfect for layering.
Another popular brand offering a sale is TOG24, with the similar Nanford Women's Padded Overhead Jacket in an autumnal cranberry colour reduced from £80 to just £48.
Back to the Next jacket, it's already earned positive feedback from a couple of customers who have nabbed it in the past, with a 4.8 rating for its "gorgeous" and "surprisingly warm" design.
One shopper who purchased the jacket said: "Good style, surprisingly warm for weight - wore it to a rugby match. Versatile jacket/top looks smart. So pleased [that I] bought both colours."
Another five-star review read: "Lovely Jacket gorgeous colour fit is on the big side had to order a smaller size. Really lovely, casual, great for spring weather."
