Next shoppers are lavishing praise on a fleece jacket that they say "looks even better in person." Renowned for its fashion-forward items, the retailer has seen one product rise above the rest.

The Abstract Print Woven Mix Teddy Borg Fleece Popper Front Jacket is garnering attention from online shoppers. Retailing at £48, the cosy piece comes in a variety of colour palettes: a beige, red, and khaki green mix; cornflower blue; green, ecru, and orange; as well as lime green.

Next describes the item, stating: "With a beige, red and khaki green borg fleece fabric, this cosy jacket is perfect for any cold weather outfit, featuring a heavyweight feel, a funnel neck and side pockets, finished with a popper fastening and a contrasting panel placket."

Boasting a 4.5-star rating online, the Next jacket has secured numerous positive reviews from satisfied customers. One particularly happy shopper commented: "Bought this initially to wear over my gym gear, but I am so impressed with it I wear it everyday. I love the feel of the material and the vibrant colours and get lots of compliments on it when wearing it."

In another glowing review, a second buyer wrote: "I bought this fleece in a size large as I wanted it oversized and it was perfect! I've had so many compliments on it and it looks even better in person. The quality is excellent and it keeps my surprisingly warm! I would definitely recommend, I'm already looking to buy the other colour ways," reports the Mirror.

A third shopper expressed their satisfaction, saying: "Bought this as a Christmas gift for my grown daughter. She absolutely loves different style fleece jackets and is thrilled with this. The quality is amazing and the style is a bit different to standard fleeces so really stands out from the crowd."

Another customer, while praising the jacket, mentioned one aspect they'd change: "Gorgeous fleece jacket, gifted to my friend who adores it! Striking design and colour. The only negative I would say is that it is unlined but still excellent quality. I've got my eye on the other colourway for myself!"

Some others also voiced their disappointment regarding the lack of lining, adding: "The jacket is nice on the outside but it is unlined and the reverse of the material is a very cheap and rough texture. This makes the garment feel cold and uncomfortable. That said the print on the outside is lovely. The sizing is in the large side."
