Statement coats are a rite of passage come autumn, and a trend we're seeing an increasing amount of? Blanket jackets. Warm, cosy, and a lot more expensive-looking than they are, they're the ultimate 'posh' jacket for wrapping up during colder months.
They're ideal for this time of year, when transitional dressing is key. It might be too warm right now for a thick coat, which is why blanket jackets are the perfect in-between. It's no wonder then, that Arket's Blanket-Stitch Wool Jacket, first retailing for £129, completely sold out in a matter of time - with reviews praising it as a 'stunning' jacket for the autumn.
If you missed out on your chance to snap up the coveted Arket jacket, Roman has stepped in with a jacket to rival the original - at nearly £80 less. The Black Contrast Blanket Stitch Jacket has the designer look down, just at a more accessible price point. Plus it's the ringer of the bestselling Blanket-Stitch Wool Jacket from Arket. Need we say more?
It comes with a sophisticated, collarless neckline, contrast-stitch detail and is made from a soft woven fabric. The only difference in aesthetic is that the alternative from Roman comes with pockets - and we're never mad about that.
Reviewers took to the comments to praise the Roman jacket, saying that it's very stylish, looks expensive and can be dressed up or down. We're also loving this smart blanket stitch jacket and will definitely be wearing the popular style for the foreseeable.
Here's where you can shop the trending jacket, below.
