Gilets are the perfect autumnal garment for layering when the temperature drops and the threat of rain is a daily struggle. Marks and Spencer is selling the perfect option that features Thermowarmth technology and has a handy detachable hood ideal for any pesky showers that may arrive while you’re out and about. 

The Thermowarmth Hooded Puffer Gilet costs £35 and is available in sizes six to 24. It comes in two gorgeous autumnal colours – toffee and navy blue – and is made in a regular fit.

The M&S gilet has a zip-up front and a cosy funnel neck that the hood can be attached to. It has two useful side pockets for keeping your hands snug or for storing your phone, keys and other essentials.

The garment uses Marks and Spencer’s insulating Thermowarmth technology to keep you feeling cosy, while the Stormwear technology protects from light showers. The gilet is part of the M&S Collection – a variety of easy-to-wear wardrobe staples that combine classic and contemporary styles.

The Thermowarmth Hooded Puffer Gilet boasts a fabulous overall rating of 4.8 out of five on the M&S website. One delighted buyer awarded it five stars and wrote: “Amazing value for money. Love the colour. Soft fabric, warm and not restrictive. Delighted with the price compared to other high street stores.”

A second said: “Very happy with this gilet. Soft, warm and comfortable. Looks more expensive, so excellent value for money. Toffee colour is gorgeous.”

A third happy shopper commented: “This is fabulous. Warm, cosy… I love it. True to size, a great fit. Excellent quality. Lovely colour.”

Someone else penned: “Just what I was looking for. Love the colour, the fit and the cosy pocket lining. The fact that the hood is detachable is the icing on the cake. My usual size 16 was snug, so I went up a size. Great purchase.”

Another added: “I’ve worn this nearly every day since buying it. Comfy, lightweight and surprisingly warm.” Unfortunately one person wasn’t completely satisfied with the gilet, as they noted: “No secure storage i.e. no zips on pockets.”
