Finding the ideal jacket for unpredictable transitional weather can prove tricky, but once you've discovered a genuinely adaptable piece, it can be worn for numerous occasions - whether that's travelling, visiting the gym or simply tackling everyday errands. The Cotton Rich Tricot Zip Up Track Jacket, retailing at £36 at M&S, is proving popular with customers, and there's a money-saving trick that can reduce the cost to below £21.

Customers can utilise the TopCashback £15 sign-up offer, which can be redeemed at numerous well-known retailers, including M&S. For new TopCashback members who are also first-time M&S shoppers, the cost falls to £20.10 following cashback. Meanwhile, new TopCashback members who already shop at M&S will pay £20.70 after cashback from the initial £36, reports Wales Online.

The Cotton Rich Tricot Zip Up Track Jacket is described as: "cut from breathable cotton-rich fabric and features a funnel neck for a warming feel. Stripe detailing lends it an athletic-inspired look, while ribbed trims on the cuffs and hem bring tactile finishing touches."

The jacket comes in two colour options - black and green - and is stocked in sizes XS to XL, reports the Express.

Alternatively, another highly-rated choice worth exploring is the shower-resistant rain jacket from Next, costing £38 and offered in four shades. Another astute option is the Zip-Up Short Jacket from Uniqlo, available in four shades and priced at £39.50.

One customer commended the M&S jacket for its adaptability, saying: "I bought to be a holiday and general summer jacket. Have had lots of compliments and it is so comfortable and easy to wear. Will go with skirts, trousers and dresses."

Another commented: "Great jacket. Ordered in green, nice and vibrant. Very comfy, good fit and soft fabric. Just wish it had side pockets though."

A third buyer also noted the lack of pockets but nevertheless lauded the jacket: "Great light layer for the spring - summer months and gorgeous colour too. I have an athletic shape and normally wear a 14 /16 and the medium is a great fit. I wish it had pockets but I love it regardless."

Another buyer said: "A good quality and stylish design jacket. Could be worn with smart clothes or casual. I especially like the white piping, it gives the jacket a modern look. I would recommend this jacket."
