Layers are the key to staying comfortable and chic in autumn, and a 'coatigan' leaves room for both. A jacket/coat that also styles itself as a cardigan, shoppers at Next have discovered something they've dubbed as 'very useful' for the changing seasons.

The Navy Blue Smart Zip Through Knitted Collar Jacket is £39 from Next . It comes in regular and petite sizing, and for those wanting more of a pop of the colour palette, is also available in Burgundy Red.

On a mild day, this machine washable Next jacket can be thrown over a light shirt or as mid-winter sets in, add a thick jumper and a scarf for extra warmth. Described as a clean knit, it has a full zip for fastening from top to bottom and a classic collar.
