Is ASDA’s 5-in-1 jacket the only jacket you need for winter? We put it to the test
Finding an all-weather jacket is no easy feat, but George’s new £55 puffer can be transformed into five different styles to suit the outdoor conditions.
For £11 each you can choose to wear a full-length puffer or gilet with long or short sleeves, a cropped jacket and hooded or not.
Clemmie Fieldsend illustrates how to style this supermarket heist.
1. SHORT PUFFER
Zip off the bottom part of the jacket for a cropped puffer jacket.
Despite the casual look, you can dress it up with kitten heel boots, tights and a miniskirt and add cozy textures like this fluffy collared cardigan.
- Pink Cardigan, £65, Monsoon; skirt, £45, Next; belt, £29.99, Zara; tights, £6.99, Calzedonia; boots, £44, Boohoo.com
2. LONG WAISTCOAT
FOR commuting when you go from cold to warm in minutes, you can rely on a sleeveless vest.
With a tonal dress like this trendy berry number and muted khaki boots, the long puffer will keep your body warm without making you overheat when you’re on busy public transport.
- Dress, £50, and boots, £85, Next; bag, £29.99, new look
3. FULL JACKET
For the deepest, darkest winter – or a long dog walk – put on the fullest version of the jacket.
Lift the gray block with a bright red sweatshirt.
Pair it with a skin-lightening white turtleneck for extra warmth and a minimum effort, maximum style look.
- White turtleneck, £15.99, Stradivarius; Zip-up jumper, £26, Next; jeans, £39.50 and hat, £12.50, Marks & Spencer; boots, £39.99, Deichmann
4. SHORT WAISTCOAT
While it will still feel mild, but you may want something that will hug your body, you can forgo all the extras and wear it as a simple vest.
Spice up your outfit with clashing textures like cable knit and satin, and grab a scarf for good measure.
- Green jumper, £85, John Lewis; skirt, £32, Next; bag, £9, Primark; boots, £75, Marks & Spencer
5. WAISTCOAT WITH HOOD
Stay casual and cozy on days off with the hooded vest style jacket.
Style with trendy leopard print trousers, a layered white shirt and a knit cardigan, from playdates to Sunday lunches.
The hood is there for any rain showers!
- White shirt, £12, Primark; green sleeveless jumper, £29.50, and bag, £35, Marks & Spencer; jeans, £22.50, F&F at Tesco; shoes, £7, Primark
