As January slowly ticks away, we're inching closer and closer to spring. Although a few chilly months remain and the skies show no sign of cheering up just yet, it's never too early to plan our spring looks.

And what's a spring edit without the perfect lightweight jacket? Enter the latest fashion hero: River Island's trendy new check bomber jacket.

Recently launched on the site, this bomber has quickly become a big hit with shoppers and has already snagged the 'trending' label on River Island’s website.This piece is gaining shoppers' attention, partly because it's strikingly similar to Barbour's sell-out sensation, the Charlene Jacket, which shoppers adored but could no longer snap up.

With a hefty £189 price tag attached to the Barbour piece, River Island's iteration looks like a steal at £59. Sporting a beige check pattern complete with a bubble hem—a big trend that came back onto the scene towards the end of last year—this jacket is primed to be a seasonal staple, reports the Mirror.
