"Shoppers Go Wild for Sainsbury's £28 Transition Jacket – The Ultimate Preppy Trendsetter!"

SHOPPERS are going wild for the perfect transitional jacket that is nailing the new ‘neo-preppy’ trend.

Fashion brands have started to release their must-have buys for the upcoming autumn and winter season.

If you’re looking to pick up some fresh AW26 pieces for your wardrobe, supermarkets are always a good place to start.

And Sainsbury’s has a five-star ‘shacket’ that is flying off the shelves and racking up top reviews.

Fashion fans are loving Tu’s Mid Pink Preppy Check Shacket – a cross between a jacket and shirt – which comes in sizes six to 24, is priced at £28 and also comes in navy.

Describing the item, the in-house clothing team said: “Add an on-trend layer to your wardrobe with our preppy check shacket.

“Designed in a lightweight fabric, it’s perfect for transitional dressing when you need a little extra coverage without feeling too warm.

“The high collar and covered zip fastening create a clean, modern look, while elasticated cuffs and hem provide a comfortable fit.

“Easy to style with jeans, trousers or skirts, it’s a versatile piece you’ll reach for season after season.”

Hannah Pountain, Director of Merchandising at Tu Clothing, has already identified neo-preppy as the key trend for the autumn season.

In a recent video, she said: “This is a really vibrant, fun, athletic sporty trend.”

The shacket nails the brief – and customers are loving it.

One said: “Probably one of the coolest items I have bought in a while.

“Such a great oversized fit with elasticated cuffs which can be rolled up to create a more dramatic look.

“The burgundy, blush pink tones are super flattering and a little of friends who have complimented the item assumed it was from Urban Outfitters.”

Another added: “Fits so nice! Lots of compliments.”

A third added: “I saw the chequered jackets today and love the material.

“Just need to save up some money and they’ll be on my to buy list.”
