Fashion conscious people are praising Marks & Spencer’s “smart yet casual” denim jacket, which they say has a “luxury feel” and rivals some of the more expensive brands. Perfect for surviving a colder summer than we’d like, the Pure Cotton Denim Relaxed Utility Jacket is the perfect layer to throw on over your summer outfits.
Retailing at £45, the stylish jacket is relaxed-fitting, with snap closures and plenty of pockets to store items like your phone and keys. Shoppers say the jacket is “smarter than a traditional denim jacket” and fits comfortably on relaxed days, making it the perfect option for evening events.
This jacket was released in April this year and quickly sold out due to its snug, modern fit and versatile styling. It’s now finally back in stock in all sizes, but that won’t be the case for long.

The jacket is brimming with positive reviews praising its attractive design, value for money, and high quality, boasting an impressive average rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars. One shopper commented, “Great jacket, great fit, easy to fasten with popper buttons, lots of large pockets, smart yet casual.” One satisfied customer commented, “My wife looks great in this! Casual, smart and cool,” while another commented, “Great fit and great price, looks expensive but worth it.”

A third user commented: “Amazing jacket! Not your usual denim jacket, I love that it’s longer in length. I bought my usual size 8 and it’s roomy but not too big. It pairs well with skirts and trousers. Perfect for the cool summer weather right now!”
However, some reviewers point out that the sizing may run large, and recommend sizing down for a better fit. One reviewer writes, “I love that it’s longer than most denim jackets. It runs a little large, so consider sizing down. I think it could be worn with both trousers and dresses/skirts.” Others also praise the item, claiming it rivals more expensive brands and is a great budget-friendly option. One customer said, “Great shape, great quality denim. True to size and very reasonably priced. Not as good as TOAST, but a great value alternative.”
The closest similar item we found on Toast’s website is the Hal Denim Workwear Jacket, which costs £165, meaning shoppers can save over £100 on the high street version. The jacket comes in a medium indigo wash and is available in sizes 6 to 24, although only size 6 is currently sold out. The 70s vibe of this M&S jacket is superb and can be easily styled with trousers for a sophisticated look, layered over a dress or skirt for a breezy summer feel, or paired with denim for an edgy look.
Utility style has been making a huge comeback in recent months, such as this pure cotton utility jacket from Sienna Miller’s M&S collection, priced at £55, or this Reece Lilliana lyocell wide-leg jumpsuit worn by Cat Deeley.
