Marks and Spencer is being flooded with praise from shoppers over a lightweight summer jacket that's been hailed 'perfect' for unpredictable summer weather. One minute it's raining, the next minute it's beaming with sun, so it can be difficult to work out whether or not to wear a coat or jacket at the moment. As such, many of us are being caught out by heavy downpours, or risk overheating when the sun does decide to peep its head through the clouds.

But Marks and Spencer has the solution to all of these problems, in the form of its M &S Collection Lightweight Rain Jacket. As the name suggests, the £49.50 jacket is lightweight enough to wear on warmer days, but will protect you from the rain when the heavens open.

It is cut in a regular fit, with a cosy funnel neck and drawstring hood, which can be detached when needed, to protect you from the elements.
