With spring on the way, Marks & Spencer’s ‘lightweight’ puffer jacket is a must for your transitional wardrobe – and it comes in four colours
As warmer days approach, now is the perfect time to ensure your wardrobe is prepared for spring with versatile layers. Marks & Spencer has dropped a whole lot of new arrivals that make great transitional pieces – such as a ‘very light’ puffer coat.
During a recent visit to my local M&S, I spotted the high-street chain’s Feather and Down Quilted Packaway Puffer Jacket, which costs £55. It comes in a range of four colours, including pale pink, khaki green, light natural and classic black.
What I love most about this Marks & Spencer item is how it keeps you warm without being heavy or bulky. Currently a best-seller online, the coat has received rave reviews from shoppers for its lightweight, packable design.

Spring weather can call for jackets that will keep you warm without weighing you down, and M&S’ Feather and Down Quilted Packaway Puffer definitely fits the bill. It comes in a regular fit with a water-repellent finish, so you can keep dry in light rain. There are also two zipped side pockets for handy storage.
With an average star-rating of 4.7 out of five, shoppers are clearly impressed with the quilted coat, with one saying: “Lovely Jacket which I have got for spring. It is a good fit beautifully made and I love the colour (pink). It’s very light and rolls up into a small packaway – ideal for day out / hols in variable weather & cool evenings.”
Someone else wrote: “I bought in green size 12. Fits well, lightweight and warm. Great that it packs away and so great for travel. Well worth the money.”
A third customer was also left happy, adding: “Lovely jacket for spring/summer. Very light and folds up small into bag provided for use when needed. Pretty pink colour and fits true to size.”
However, there are a few negative comments about how warm the jacket is. One person said: “Was a bit disappointed its a thin as it is, thought there would be a bit more padding to it, will be okay for summer.”
Alternatively, this Uniqlo Ultra Light Down Jacket is offered in seven shades and has hit the sale for £59.90, reduced from £69.90. The deal runs until Sunday, March 2. We also love Superdry’s Hooded Fuji Padded Jacket, which usually costs £94.99, but is down to £66.49. It comes in five colours and has a slim fit.
