I tried New Look's £40 tartan blazer & it's a "winter must have"

New Look shoppers recently said they were “obsessed” with a tartan blazer spotted online - and after hearing the great reviews, I couldn’t help but give it a go.

Since the weather doesn’t quite know what it wants to do, shoppers are searching for clothes that can easily go from season to season at the drop of a hat.

Recently, New Look shoppers spotted it's No Clue Red Tartan Check Blazer , which is part of its collaboration with singer Anne-Marie, on Instagram and quickly shared their love in the comments section.

The blazer , which is priced at £39.99, features a tartan check print, Revere collared neckline, a double-pocket front and a long hem.

Shoppers were very keen to get their hands on the red and black blazer, so I decided to head into my local New Look to pick one up and see if it lived up to the hype.

The material was very soft and cosy, and while it was thicker than I expected, making it perfect for the colder weather that has arrived.

The fitting of the blazer was on the bigger side, so I could easily have dropped down a size and been comfortable. But I love the extra space, so I was pleased.

The material didn’t itch or do any unwanted clinging, and fastening the buttons is perfect for adding some shape to your look.

The long blazer came to about mid thigh, which seemed reasonable as I’m only 5ft3 and was worried it would be too long.

The blazer would work for any occasion; I’d definitely wear it to work or for drinks during the winter.

I think the tartan blazer felt more luxurious and expensive than its £39.99 price tag too. New Look shoppers certainly had it right - I’m obsessed too.

New Look’s No Clue Red Tartan Check Blazer is available via the retailer’s website.
