Pick up the €20 Penneys jacket that will make all the difference on the January school run

Penneys, the one stop shop for all your style needs.

Chances are you paid a visit to Penneys to pick up last-minute gifts either as stocking fillers or perhaps a Christmas outfit, but there's a chance you'll be back first thing in January. Why? Well, this €20 bargain jacket is in stores now and it's the kind of sensible purchase that will bring you right through to spring. A jacket with a hood might not be the most exciting purchase but with the Irish climate, it's an absolute necessity. Thankfully, this is a stylish type of rain jacket with the padded, puffer look right on trend at the moment and the high-shine effect adding a statement touch. It's the type of jacket you'll reach for every morning before battling the elements, particular if your journey to work involves a sizeable commute. It also has a street luxe vibe and would work well with all the athleisure styles that are so current right now. However, if you have already ticked the 'sensible jacket' box, then we have another must-have and it's of the classic, elegant variety. The checked style will never date and it's the type of piece that will dress up and and every outfit, from your favourite jeans to your sparkly party dress. It's priced as €35 but the timeless print and overcoat style ensure this is a purchase that will last you season after season, year after year.
