FatFace shoppers bag 'unusual' sale jumper in three colours for 'in between' weather
This wardrobe staple is so popular shoppers are buying more than one. It may still be August, but autumn is not too far away now. That means it's probably time to think about a wardrobe refresh. To help shoppers get in some items for the new season at lower prices, FatFace has launched a massive sale online with prices slashed across everything including clothing, footwear and accessories. With temperatures set to dip from next week, we're about to enter the dreaded 'in between' weather, but one item that is said to be ideal for that time of year is the retailer's Isabelle Knitted Jumper. When it's not too cold, but also not warm either, this knitted layer offers a linen and cotton blend material that is both super breathable, soft and stylish all at once. Offering a simple crew neckline and long sleeves, this wardrobe staple might look basic, but its design boasts a button-down back feature that has been singled out in reviews from fashion fans calling it "unusual." Isabelle Knitted Jumper £49.50 £30 FatFace Buy here Product Description Worth £49.50, the sale has since reduced the vibrant yellow and mid pink colours of this jumper to just £30, saving £19.50 off the RRP. There is a white colourway at £25, although it has almost virtually sold out. Available in sizes six to 24, depending on the colour, the Isabelle jumper will be a multitasking addition that can be paired with jeans and trainers or with skirts and boots during autumn and winter. Shoppers keen on the unusual style can also check out the Next Friends Like These Knitted Jumper that features long flute buttoned sleeves, costing £38 in total. A simpler option, yet no less stylish, would be this Kinga Lightweight Knit Jumper from Weird Fish that offers a similar design for £27, down from £45, saving 40 percent in total. As for the FatFace jumper, it has managed to earn itself a rather impressive 4.5 rating based on multiple reviews from shoppers who love its "different" style so much they have bagged multiple colours.

One delighted customer wrote: "I really like this jumper. Unusual style and not too thick. Waiting for some slightly cooler weather so I can wear it. Generous fit so I sized down." A second FatFace shopper praised: "Love the colour. Jumper is a perfect fit and is ideal for when the weather is in between hot and cold." Someone else praised: "Such a gorgeous colour for summer. Lightweight and perfect for those cooler days and summer evenings. Reading other reviews I bought a smaller size (10 rather than 12) and it fits perfectly. Fashion deal of the week We might not want to admit it, but summer will soon be coming to an end. That means getting our wardrobe ready for the autumn season, and one affordable jumper from Next is already proving to be quite a hit with fashion fans who say that it has been "beautifully made." The firm is currently offering its Blue Stripe Layered Long Sleeve Collared Gold Detailed Button Jumper with Wool and 100 percent Cotton Shirt for £1.50 in its clearance sale. Described as 'effortlessly stylish', this blue striped number boasts a chic collared shirt underlay and a cosy 'soft touch' knit. The design also includes elegant gold-tone buttons on the shoulder and a neat collar, plus it's easy to care for being machine washable. Available in an array of colours and patterns, it can be bought in regular and petite sizes through X-Small to X-Large, though certain sizes are beginning to sell out. One satisfied customer shared: "I purchased this lovely shirt and jumper combination for a video interview, and I was really pleased with how it looked. "The bright white, soft cotton collar gives it a smart appearance and the jumper is made from a beautifully soft wool." The Blue Stripe Layered Jumper with Wool and Cotton Shirt is available for purchase from Next at a price of £19.50. "Not at all tight. Loved it so much I bought the white one afterwards!" Not everyone has been keen on the quality, as one two-star review read: "Although the jumper looked nice. When tried on it was ok but sadly the quality wasn't the best. Too expensive for what it was." Although, someone else who praised the quality said: "I love this sweater - the style is different with buttons down the back and the colour is lovely. It is quite expensive but it looks good on so much so that I have also purchased the other two colours."
