With temperatures set to dip in the coming weeks, the time for warmer layers is here. Simple staples like cardigans and jumpers are ideal for banishing chills, pairing perfectly with whatever’s in the wardrobe for the home or office alike. Now is a great time to stock up on essentials, with Next selling its ‘The Set’ two-pack of fine knit button-through cardigans for £24 — that’s just £12 per piece. The duo come in plain black and a light and neutral brown tone, complementing autumnal colour palettes. Each cardigan is made from an 83% viscose, 17% nylon blend with a fine knit that’s comforting on the skin, with a ribbed hem and cuffs subtly refining the look. The cardigan two-pack comes in sizes from X-Small to X-Large, and Next also sells three-packs and four-packs in other colours, though these are currently out of stock. For a slightly cosier texture, buyers might consider the waffled cardigan from H&M for £12.99. It comes in grey, dark brown, or light blue in sizes XXS to XL, with matching waffled drawstring trousers available too. Those wanting something heavier could go for the Boohoo toggle button cable knit chunky cardigan on sale at Debenhams for £14.40 , down from £24 and available in XS to XL. Woven from a rich khaki green acrylic blend, it adds a pop of Nordic character to any outfit, with the look completed by a deep V-neck and thick toggle buttons. Many Next shoppers are happy with their purchase decision, however, with the cardigan two-pack rated 4.5 on the website. One customer wrote: “Such good value for money, lovely cardigans, nice thin fine knit and true to size.” Another agreed: “Good value for money, good quality, nice colour, washes well, good size buttons.” A third added: “Lovely little set, perfect for wearing with jeans or a skirt.” However, one customer was hesitant about how well the cardigans would age, leaving a four-star review: “Versatile and nice material. Will bobble though after some wear.” One shopper noted they needed to purchase a larger size so they could better layer the item: “Lightweight fine-knit cardigans that can be worn over anything you prefer, vest tops, dresses, t-shirts, or blouses. I sized up for this reason.” ‘The Set’ two-pack of fine knit button-through cardigans is available at Next for £24 .
