Shoppers Embrace Next’s Super Soft Cardigan for Autumn Style

As temperatures begin to drop, shoppers in Ireland are flocking to Next for their autumn essentials. The retailer has launched an online autumn edit, showcasing a range of stylish pieces ideal for layering during the cooler months. Among these, the Soft Touch Cotton Rich Pocket Front Cardigan has garnered significant attention, with customers praising its comfort and versatility.

Crafted from a blend of 60% cotton and 40% viscose, this cardigan is both lightweight and cozy, making it a perfect choice for crisp autumn mornings. Priced at €32.50, it pairs well with casual outfits, such as jeans or trousers, and can also enhance a more sophisticated look when layered over a maxi skirt and heels.

Customer feedback highlights the appeal of the cardigan’s various autumnal shades, particularly the color “Mole.” One satisfied shopper commented, “Loved the colour, I ordered a size down as it is quite roomy. Feels lovely on, it will take me through autumn and winter.” Another customer echoed this sentiment, stating, “Lovely colour and soft to touch. Have only washed it once so far as it’s been too hot for cardigans, but it washed well, so all good so far.”

While many reviews are positive, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the cardigan’s durability after washing. One shopper noted, “Lovely cardigan but unfortunately doesn’t wash well. After washing, it’s impossible to get the top pockets to sit properly again. It’s like they stretch and bend. No amount of ironing can get them straight.”

To maintain the shape of knitwear, experts from Cashemere and Cotton recommend specific care techniques. They suggest drying the cardigan flat on a clean towel, away from direct sunlight, to avoid stretching and preserve its original form.

For those seeking a heavier option, Next also features the Red Collared Knitted Bomber Jacket, which has recently been reduced from €56 to €28. This jacket, distinguished by its chunky gold buttons, offers an elegant alternative within the same price range.

Both cardigans and other autumn styles are available for purchase at next.ie, providing shoppers with a variety of options to enhance their seasonal wardrobes. As consumers prepare for the colder months, Next’s offerings are proving to be both fashionable and functional.
