Shoppers looking to stay cosy this autumn without splashing the cash could be in luck, as Lidl is bringing back its bargain-friendly fashion finds — including a chunky knit jumper for just £6.99.
With temperatures dropping and chilly winds setting in, a warm knit is a wardrobe essential. And Lidl’s latest Special Buy could be just the ticket for fashion fans hoping to get a stylish autumn look for less.
Available in stores from Sunday, October 18, the Esmara Ladies’ Beige Chunky Knit Jumper costs just £6.99 and features a Norwegian-inspired pattern that could easily catch the eye of shoppers browsing the high street.
The beige jumper features a jacquard design, raglan sleeves and ribbed cuffs, giving it a cosy, seasonal look that’s ideal for layering on colder days.
According to Lidl, the knit is made from 73% acrylic, 21% recycled polyester, 4% wool and 2% elastane, with Lycra included to help provide a comfortable fit.
Available in small, medium and large, the budget buy offers shoppers an affordable way to refresh their autumn wardrobe without spending a fortune.
Lidl’s £7 jumper compared with John Lewis’ £135 design
The supermarket’s latest knitwear offering has a similar look to a much pricier option from John Lewis.
The department store is selling the Hush Meryl Roll Neck Fairisle Jumper in sand brown for £135 — a whopping £128.01 more than Lidl’s version.
Both jumpers feature a Norwegian-style pattern across the upper body, making them appealing options for anyone who loves traditional winter knitwear.
However, there are some noticeable differences between the two designs.
Lidl’s £6.99 jumper has a classic ribbed crew neckline, raglan sleeves and a more standard fit. Meanwhile, the Hush design features a high, relaxed roll neck, dropped shoulders and a more oversized silhouette.
The materials and overall construction also differ, so the two jumpers aren’t identical.
A winter wardrobe bargain?
For shoppers who love the look of designer-inspired knitwear but don’t fancy spending £135 on a single jumper, Lidl’s offering could be worth a look.
At less than £7, the supermarket’s version could be an affordable option for pairing with jeans, leggings or a skirt for an easy autumn outfit.
Of course, shoppers should bear in mind that the designs differ in fit, neckline and materials, so the best choice will depend on personal preference.
The bottom line? If you’re after a cosy, Norwegian-inspired knit without the high-street price tag, Lidl’s £6.99 jumper could be one to look out for when it lands in stores on October 18.
As with Lidl’s other Special Buys, availability may vary by store, so shoppers keen to get their hands on one may want to check their local branch.
