Prepare for colder weather with this New Look design in a rich autumnal hue
As the weather turns crisp, fashion lovers are on the hunt for versatile and stylish additions to their autumn wardrobes, and New Look’s latest offering ticks all the boxes. Priced at £36.99, this burgundy cropped shacket might just be the must-have piece of the season.
Combining the warmth of a jacket with the relaxed style of a shirt, the shacket is ideal for transitioning from summer to autumn in effortless fashion. The cropped cut makes it a perfect match for high-waisted jeans and skirts, giving a flattering silhouette that elongates the legs while keeping the outfit chic.
Plus, its rich burgundy shade taps into classic autumnal tones, making it easy to pair with other seasonal hues like mustard, olive green and blood orange. Layer it with a simple turtleneck or a fitted tee, and you’ve got yourself a cosy but on-trend look.

The shacket is versatile enough to be dressed up or down, whether you’re going for a casual daytime look or adding an extra layer for an evening out. For a laid-back vibe, pair it with your favourite trainers and high-waisted mom jeans, or style with a midi skirt and ankle boots for a slightly more polished style.
Shoppers have described it as a “cute little jacket ideal for the change in season,” while another called it a “lovely jacket” that is “nice and cosy.” Meanwhile, another said it is “really nice and warm.”
However, it isn’t all good news; one reviewer said they were “disappointed” with the sizing. “I’m a (size) 6, but the jacket only comes in 4-6 or 8-10,” they explained. The larger size was too big, and the smaller size is slightly shorter than I would have liked.”
Saying that, another person said they had deliberately bought it to be oversized, so it might be worth considering you prefer a relaxed style.
If you’re not convinced, there are plenty more stylish transitional coats to shop — we like this Cotton On leather jacket in a deep cherry hue, the perfect colour for autumn. For something more luxe, Anthropologie’s £148 PVC longline design is a real head-turner.
