These 10 embroidered jackets make every outfit you own look better, from £49.99

The embroidered jacket that says ‘I’ve made an effort’ even if you’ve just thrown it on over a tee five minutes before the school run or your train to the office – it’s equal parts practical layer and mood-boosting style move.

What really seals the deal is how effortlessly it works with what you already own. Jeans and a tee? Sorted. A midi dress and barely there sandals? Even better. We’re pairing ours with barrel-leg trousers, a crisp white tee and aviators for a grown-up take on summer cool, no overthinking required.

And the best part? Brands including Boden, Next and Mint Velvet have nailed it this season, with prices starting from just £49.99. So, if you’re after a layer that works for office days, park picnics and even summer weddings, this is it. One jacket = countless compliments. That’s fashion maths we can get behind.

Think boho touches, festival flair or quiet luxury à la Chloé, all without the designer price tag. Whether it’s a cropped denim number or a breezy bomber, the beauty of embroidery is in its versatility. It’s the kind of piece that makes strangers say, ‘Love your jacket!’ and friends ask where you got it.

Ideal for summer festivals, office days, sunny weekends at Wimbledon or even weddings as a chic cover-up, it’s one of the most versatile pieces you’ll own. Trust us, an embroidered jacket is the statement piece you’ll wear on repeat all summer long.
